A Batter’s Ideal Target. One fence that helps make a batter look good is this right field barrier of Baker Bowl, the home baseball park of the Philadelphia Nationals in the National League. It is just 280 feet from home plate, and together with a short center field (408 feet) makes an ideal target for the hitters. Chuck Klein, National League batting champion in 1933, built up a great reputation as a fence buster and pace-hitter while playing with the Phillies from 1928 to 1933. His batting average fell of markedly in 1934 and 1935 when he was with the Cubs, only to go up again on his return to the Dodgers in 1936. Dolph Capilli, for whom the Brooklyn Dodgers gave the Phillies $60,000 and Eddie Morgan this season, is the latest example of a player whose reputation as a hitter was built up at Baker Bowl. With the Phillies in 1936 he hit .315 and .339 in 1937. As a member of the Dodgers he is now hitting .263. Photo shows; Pepper Martin is batting in this game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Phillies on June 16. The Philadelphia pitcher is Passeau, and the catcher is Spud Davis, and old Philly who has come back to the team after playing with the Cardinals and Reds. Davis’s batting average fell off as much as 40 points when he left Philadelphia.
