alert Earl Hilligan, the Americari
league's advertising ',. manager,;
points out that Tony Cuccinello of
h WhiteSox might be the first
4hird baseman in the league's his-
tory to win the Datting cnampion-
ship." -? " -; 1 :w
'Cooch', might do it, at that, al- s
thought the race promises to,be
closer than your next breath right
down to the wire, with the win
ner's average nothing to tnake ,Ty
Cobb envious." '"''A s
If the top average for the league"
is -333 or thereaboutj it will hot;
be surprising, and there are fel-t
lows who played in the Majors 10
to 15 years and retired ; with life- '
time marks better than that
The honor role of -AX. batting
champions Includes 29 outfielders,
seven first basemen, five second
basemen and three shortstops. ,
Catchers, like third basemeni
are not represented. ' j '. '
' Not that there ? havent been
stout atickmen among the third
basemen. It just so happened that
some of them were around when
it took a mark of about .400 or
better to take the title, and ln
fielders, Rogers Hornsby and Lar
ry Lajoie excepted, just don't hit
.400. ;- '.:
With fellows such as -Lajoie, Ty
Cobb, Tris Speaker, Harry Heil
mann and George Sisler around ,
player had to be well over the
J50 mark to even be close to the
champion, although there have
been scattered years when-the
averages dropped so alarmingly it
seemed that the pitchers must
have been tossing up . leather
coated rocks. . 1 ' , '
Ebb tide for the batters was in
1905, when Elmer Flick of Cleve
land captured the title with a
meager .306. That followed an av
erage of .381 Lajoie compiled the
year before. ' " I 1 '
With Ted Williams and Joe Di
maggio, who between them corn
ereU. the crown for three years,
in the service the last two years
the winning mark dropped to fig- ";
ures comparable to the prospective
winning average this year, Lou
Boudreau of the. Indians was the
winner last year with .327,' aqd
Luke Appling, winner in 1943, was
only a point better; '". --' - '
The golden opportunity for. the
third sackers, of course, was the
lyear Flick hit -506 but the best ;
any third baseman could do that
year, was the .276 registered by
Jimmy Collins. ! "...
One of the better-hitting third
basemen was Frank "Home Run"
Baker of Connie Mack's famed
$100,000 infield, but when he hit
.334 in 1911 the average was good
only for seventh place.
When it is considered the aver
age winning percentage for the'
44 years of American league play '
is .375, it readily Is apparent why
in most seasons marks of .340 or --550
were good only for honorable
mention. ' ; -;. " ; "V r ; .
Cuccinello may be just the lucky
.guy to come along, at the age of
37, when mark of 40 points be-.
