American Legion —— . SPORT SLANTS | For. years, or at least since Sep-! which drove . his credit, lat 250 pace young Brubaker is setting is ‘expccl,ed of him, { hot corner. tember, 1931, when Gus Suhr took | over the first base job for the Pittsburgh Pirates, the general im- pression has been that he would/ not last as a regular at that post —that he was not a big league ball | played. But somehow or other Suhr did not hear the remarks of the experts and fans, or.if he did he paid no attention to them. Starting on September 11, 1931, he finished out the season for the| Pirates and then showed up bright’ and early with his big glove in the! spring to resume where he left off! the preceding fall. He did not miss a game in 1932, nor did he fail ot appear in the lineup in any game, the three years following. By the | end ofthe 1935 season he had pass- ed the National League record es-| tablished by Eddie Brown while! he was performing in the uniforms of Brooklyn and Boston over the period covering June 1924, mrough June, 1928. DURABLE, AT LEAST Suhr added 10 games to Brown’s total of 618 by the time the curtain was rung down on the 1935 season. He has been adding steadily to that total every day the Pirates take the feld in the current cam- paign. The unusual part of the | He fielded in sensational style and | anything like his present pace Pie whole thing is that Gus is enjoy- ing the best season of his career. His fielding has been consistently better than at any time in the past, WHEN -HE PIRATES' FIRST BASEMAN KEEPS RIGHT ON ADDING TO HIS NATIONAL LeASLE RECORD FOR CONSECUTWE GAMES -~ HE STARTED THE SEASON WITH A STRING OF 628 Dt and, what is even more important, he has been poundng the ball at a right merry clip, well on the bright side of the .300 mark. If nothing else, Suhr's long string of consecutive games proves that he is a durable player. He's in there trying all the time and always keep in shape to do the best he can. Buhr isn’t making any threaten- ing gestures in the direction of Lou Gehrig's American League endur- ance record. That'’s a bit out of reach, particularly so when you | stop and consider that the Iron| Horse of the New York Yankees | started the current season with an| unbroken string of 1,653 games to| Then, too, Gehrig ap- pears to be every bit as good a bet to continue adding to his record as is Subr to continue his unbroken string. If anything, Gehrig's chances appear brighter. TRAYNOR’'S LUCK Manager Pie Traynor is indeed lucky to have a promising youngster like Wilbur Brubaker tossed right into his lap. And a third baseman, that. For years the Pirates have boasted the best third base- man in the National League in Pie Traynor. And if the present indication ,of what can be the Pirates are lxkely to be well protected at the | dny Pittsburgh picked up the coast youngster for a song. A former erm,e player now residing on the coast suggested that the Pittsburgh \team give the youngster a tryout a couple of years ago. When the Pirates moved into Brooklyn for a recent series Bru- baker was sent in to cover third. tore the cover off the ball at the plate. As long as he continues at Traynor can well afford to retire to the cool of the dugout and run the team from the bench. With a bit of coaching from the master, Brubaker should pick up the fine points of playing third quickly and prove a capable heir to the job| he has inherited from Traylor.
