Difference Between Infields Big Program Of Goodwill Races This Afternoon

Of Yanks And Cards Is Joseph Flash Gordon

,7 By Judson Bailey Associated Press Sports Writer NEW YORK. Sellt. 22~(AP)—

The difference between the infields

0f New York Yankees and St. Louis

Cardinals is on agile young man

named Joseph Lowell oGrdon.

A war ago he was the difference between winning and losing the world championship and he easily could be again in the series openlni: a week from tomorrow.

There WRS a. time when the Yankees had infielders that were unquestionably the best in base- ball at each position. but those days are gone, perhaps forever. If_ the Cardinals cash in on the Naiioiiri‘ league pennant this week they \v'll have to concede little anywhere ex-

cept at second base

Gordon. however. stands head and shoulders over everyone else both as a batter and as a fielder. He ls the only one of 17 infielders on the Yankees. Cardinals or Brooklyn Dudxers who l.s batting over .285. H15 Byerilfle at the end of last Sun- days activity was .323 and he had batted in 101 runs.

Defensive-iv. he makes plays thnt sometimes are incredible and is chieflv responsible for the fact that the Yanks have completed 189 110111118 plays. apnroachinz their own major league record of 194. His skill strenctbfns 91w en‘irn inns;- patrol. maklnE his [cammnt 5 hustle harder and throw faster

than they yvould otherwise.
