Every manager on the Coast and the majority of the scouts declared that the youngster was bound to make good in the National League, claimed that he was a .260 hitter and that he could fleld beyond a doubt. Be- cause he was so highly touted it was freely predicted that he would “blow,” and, indeed, so great a judge of the psychological effect of too much press agenting of a player as Fred Mitchell begged the Chicago scribes to soft pedal on Hollacher for fear of spotling him. Ins d, Hollacher stepped into shortstop as if he had played major league ball all his life, and began hitting the National League pitchers harder than he did those on the Coast, He has been hitting about .290 all season, and twice has reached the .200 mark, His fielding is sensa- tional, ond if he has a fault tt is in being a trifle headstrong on the bases, and overeager t6 advance, His work with the second baseman ts what counts most, and with the flashy and rather uncertain youngster Kilduff and the wise veteran Zeider he has worked beautifully.
