 Joseph Floyd "Arky" Vaughan (1912–1952) - Encyclopedia of Arkansas
Arky Vaughan was born on March 9, 1912, in Clifty (Madison County) to Robert Vaughan and Laura Denny Vaughan.
Vaughan’s consistent hitting ability is also evidenced by his.318 lifetime batting average and by the fact that he struck out only 276 times in his career, out of a total of 6,622 times at bat.
Vaughan interrupted his playing career after the 1943 season, supposedly because he no longer wanted to play for Brooklyn manager Leo Durocher, although Vaughan said it was because he wanted to devote his time to his California farm in support of the war effort.

 Arky Vaughan Biography by KL Snow on Baseball Almanac
Vaughan hit.318, but had an even more impressive.375 OBP in 129 games during his rookie campaign, and with increased playing time in 1933 his numbers improved again, as in 152 games Arky was among the top five in OBP (.388), slugging (.478), OPS (.866), triples (19), RBI (97) and walks (64).
Vaughan was an All-Star for the last time in 1942, but his offensive numbers don’t look like All-Star material, as his OBP dipped to.348, his slugging was just.341, and he only collected 49 RBI, the second lowest full-season total of his career.
Vaughan was involved in a dispute with Dodgers manager Leo Durocher during the 1943 season, and while he did finish out the season, he remained on his ranch in California for the start of the 1944 season, supporting the war by farming and avoiding Durocher.
