(By Joseph B. Kelley)
BOSTON, i/P)—Becoming more
discouraged daily over his sore
pitching arm, Boston Braves’ hurl
er Johnny Bcuzley hopes the “gen
eral who ordered me to pitch in
Hawaii l'eels better than I do.”
Johnny, who has been to all.
kinds of doctors and has had all
kinds of injections didn’t even
make the last trip with the Braves.
Recently, when able to raise his
arm he has pitched batting prac
tice for the Red Sox. His trouble,
he says, stems from a pitching as
signment for a general who disrc- j
garded the former Cardinal’s pleal
that he wasn’t in shape. He has a
2-0 record in 24 innings of work.
Which reminds that the Braves,
long noted hereabouts for a team
more dependent upon pit-ching and
fielding finesse, now have one of
the heaviest hitting teams in the
majors with an overall batting av
erage in the ,280’s. The club has
whacked 172 doubles, more than
the total two base output for the
1946 season.
The home run output over the |
same period was 57, compared to
the 1946 season total of 33. The
Braves, who need only d little,
smoother double play work, in ad
dition to another good pitcher to
be up there, have stolen 36 bases
this season, the most in both
leagues as of Friday. Through
July a year ago the Braves had
two batters hitting better than
.280. now they have eleven, in
c’uding ni cher Johnny Sain whose
average is .377, with 33 hits and
14 runs batted in. in 63 times at
bat.
