Irvin Shooting
For Bat Title
In Close Race
NEW YORK W Monte Irvin's
next four times at bat may be the
most important ones in the career
of the New York Giants slugging
left iielder.
With a .338 batting average, Irvin
is in second place in the race for
the National League batting cham
pionship. But he's been out of ac
uon since Aug. 9, when ne again
injured his, right ankle in a game
at SL Louis, except for occasional
pinch hitting chores. It now ap
pears he may not play regularly
again this season.
He was at the head of the hit
parade when he damaged the ankle
he bad first fractured in an exm
bition game in the spring of 1952.
Since Irvin has been sidelined,
however, Schoendienit of the St
Louis Cardinals has taken over
the lead with a .340 mark before
Friday night's game.
With 134 hits in 396 times at bat.
Iivin needs four more official at
bats to quality for the batting
championship. If . he should be
horsecollared every time, his av
erage WOUld drop tO .336. u
an the other hand, be got four
straight hits, the mark would climb
to .345 and present a much more
serious challenge to Schoendienst
and other NL leaders. .
The 400 times at bat rule was
put into effect after the season of
1940, when -Debs Garms of Pitts
burgh won with a .355 average.
Garms, who spent a great deal of
the season on the bench, met the
then - requirement of 100 games.
but be had only 358 times at bat
and some writers and fans contend
ed he had not played enough to
merit the batting championship.
