OUR ATHLETES

Gordon's Bar
Potent Early
This Season

•

By MITCHELL TENDLER
THAT BIG NOISE you hear is
simply reverberations from
the potent bat of Sidney Gordon
who has taken kindly to the
California training site selected
by his employers, the New York
Giants.
Gordon, who was one of the
big guns on the 1948 Giant slug-
ging crew, is all
by himself as
far as spring-
time lime ball
• hitting is con-
cerned. In a re-
. cent three-game
stretch Sid got
seven for nine,
among which
were sprinkled
four home runs.
Tendler
That's pretty fair hitting for
a third baseman who was warm-
ing the bench at the beginning
of the '48 season. Sid broke into
the lineup last year when the
regular Giant third sacker was
hurt, and by virtue of his big bat
won the position.
If the New Yorkers can un-
cover some acceptable pitching
talent they will be very difficult
I
to beat this year.

Potential 'Bum'

SOME 2800 miles away, down
in sunny Florida, a rookie has
been wielding a big bat. He is
Cal Abrams and at present is
putting on a good show in an
attempt to win an outfield berth
with the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Should Abrams make the
gracte with the Dodgers, he will
be a major League oddity solely
because he is actually Brooklyn-
born. Cal is a lean six-footer who
bats and throws left-handed. He
hit .337 in 131 games for Mobile
last season, including 23 doubles,
16 triples -and six home runs.
One of his circuit blows went
over 500 feet at the Little Rock
ballfield. Abrams' potential box-
office appeal at Ebbets ) field
goes without saying.

Un-Rosy Spring

BACKTRACKING A BIT, this
time to the Indian camp in
'Arizona, we find that Al Rosen's
springtime hitting has left much
to be desired. Al, it seems, is one
of those unfortunates who can-
not hit in the springtime.
He couldn't hit in the spring of
1947, yet won virtually all the
offensive honors in the Texas
League that year.
He didn't hit last spring; yet,
while playing for Kansas City,
was the only unanimous choice
for the American Association
all-star team, and lost the league
batting championship only on
the last day of the season.
