When the Pittsburgh Pirates purchased Debs Garms from Boston on March 3, 1940, little did they think they were getting the prospective leading hitter of the National League. That's exactly what Garms was - he batted .355 in 103 games for the Bucs and captured the league hitting crown. Garms, who plays third as well as the outfield, drove in 57 runs for the Pirates, topping all his previous efforts as a major leaguer. The Texan may prove a strong cog in the "dark horse" Pirate machine that Frankie Frisch has built up.
