eaeh.

204.
Best run-getter—Rockenfeld, Littlo Rock—89.
Worst batter—Maxwell, Montgomery—.050.

Best fielding average—Carey, Memphis—.990 in 138 games.
Most put-outs—Sabrie, New Orloans—1.463.
Most assists—Walters, Birmingham—435.
Most errors—Walters, Birmingham—81.
Outfielder who made most assists—Bowcock, Little Rock, 33;
Paskert, second, with 30.
WitK all due regard for the judgment of the “baseball fox,”
Clark Griffith, we don’t see why he can’t hand us bnck a catcher
who batted .226 and fielded .960, with only one regular catcher
lower than he. Sweeney’s averages were not good enough to jus
tify a trial in the major leagues for anothor year at least.
SCHENCKER MAY COACH
MERCER BASEBALL TEAM
Macon, Ga. Dec. 9.—Aa yet the Mer
cer Athletic Aeaocl&tlon has not em
ployer! the services of a coach for base,
hall In the sprlns.
Professor Schencker has beon offered
the position. Ho has had a deal of dia
mond experience but on account of his
law praotlce, which he wishes to take
up this winter here, ho has failed to
give .a definite answer. He has deter
mined to remain In Macon through the
winter and this fact has given rise to
the suspicion that he may be at the
helm when the spring practice begins
Mr. Schencker Is very poptilnr with the
student body.
TOMMY BURNS WILL FIGHT
JEM ROACH AND PALMER
London. Deo. 9/—Tommy Bums, who
defeated Gunner Motr a week ago to
day for the heavyweight championship
at the world. Is likely to have two
more battles before he returns to the
United States, for he has aocepted chsl.
lenges from Jem Roaoh, of Wexford,
the heavyweight champion of Ireland,
and Jack Palmer, of Newcastle-on-
Tyne. He has signed for the Palmer
fight.
The Roach bout will probably take
place before the National Sporting
Club of London the latter part of Jan
uary.
Englishmen, despite the cold greet
ing thoy gave Bums after hta light with
Molr, think the American champion a
wonder and want to see him In action
again, and, of course, Bums Is not let
ting any easy money get away from
him.
"I am willing to wager 110,000
against 15,000 that I beat Roach,” enld
Bums. "1 am also willing to bet $10,-
000 even that I atop Roach Inside the
ten rounds.”
RATTLING GOOD BASKET BALL
PLAYED BY Y.M.C.A. TEAMS
“The best gomo of the seaeon,” was
the verdict rendered by some two hun
dred spectators at the games of basket
ball played Saturday night at the Y.
M. C. A., when the A team won from
the Y team by the scoro of 14 to 1. It
was a hotly contested game from whis
tle to whleUo. The - A team took tho
load early In the gome and fought hard
to retain It, with tho Y players fighting
like Trojans to overcoras their lead.
Every man on the two teame deserves
special mention for his clean, hard
work. The work of Daniel and Solo-
monson for the Y team stood out a
little above the rest. For tho A team
Hudson, nt center, and Wright, at for
ward, played an especially good game.
The goal throwing of Wright was n
feature.
The other gome was even harder
fought. If that wns possible, and when
the final score was counted the M's had
plied up II points to C’s 17. The work
of Key and Callahan for the M's was
an exhibition of Jam-up basketball
playing, showing the result of con
scientious practice and lots of It.
A vary and Dlckoy, for the C team, also
put up a fast article of basketball, al
though they were on a losing team.
The C team put up a good scrappy
fight, but was handicapped by the ab
sence of two of their best players, Hod.
skins and Jarvis. Captain Dickey, of
tho C team, stated after the game that
he had no excuses to make for the
standing of tho C .team, but promised
to win next Saturday night. With
Dickey, Avary, Hodsklns and Jarvis In
the llno-up It ought to bo easy.
Professor Weems umpired the games
and, though decidedly strict on fouls,
gave entlro satisfaction.
RYAN WILL BRING SOUTH
SOME CHICAGO WONDERS
WALTHOUR WRENCHES ARM
AND QUITS THE SIX=DAY RACE
New York, Dec. 9.—Bobby Walthonr, one of the star attractions of the six-day bike race, re
tired from the contest shortly before 10 o’clock this morning. Walthonr excused his act on the
ground that at 6 a. m. he had severely wrenched the arm which was badly injured in a collision in a
hike race in Germany last year.
Dr. Creamer, the physician at the garden, declared that Walthour was not at all justified in
withdrawing from the contest, as his physical condition was perfect.

New York, Dee. 9.—While 15,000 peo-
sons were wildly cheering the sixteen
starters In the six-day blcyclo race
during the early hours today, Walter
Rutt, of the German-Holland team,
met with a serious accident.
The rear tire of his wheel burst os
he was routidlng “dead man’s” curve
and he plunged headlong down the side
of the track. He struck a two-inch
post on the Twenty-sixth street side,
splitting It with his head.
Johann Stol, his partner, Immediate
ly took hts place on the track.
Although suffering Intensely from the
blow, Rutt declared he would not with
draw from tho race.
Team Ruled Off.
Harry Reynolds and James Benyon,
the English team, were ruled off the
track because of bad condition. Ben
yon was unconscious for twenty-five
minutes and physicians found his heart
In such condition as to be dangerous.
Before Benyon became unconsolous
Reynolds, the Irishman, slid down the
high banked track and carried Nat But
ler with him. Butler, the veteran, waa
only shaken up. but Reynolds' stomach
was hurt and Benyon quickly relieved
him. Benyon had done tour laps,
though, when he fell. He remounted
nnd kern on and soon became tincon-
sclous from exhaustion.
Walthour took no chances of Matt
Downey tiring and early climbed on
his wheel. Fogler did the same, al
though Moran, his partner, protested
that he was not warmed up.
Race Started Late.
Madison Square Garden's fifteenth
annual six-day bicycle team race was
started at 1 o’clock this morning In
stead of nve minutes after midnight, as
heretofore.
The contest will be one of 142 hours,
ending at 11 o’clock next Saturday
night.
The event Is raced on a pine board
track, ten laps to the mile.
Sixteen pairs of riders have entered
for the long, weary grind, and it Is

probable that about half of them will
last through the week’s struggle.
“Fake Falls” Barred.
The National Cycling Association,
under whose rules and supervision the
race la run, has drawn up a new set of
provisions, by which It Is hoped that
the “fake fall” habit will be stamped
out. In former races riders who were
In danger of losing laps during a hard
spurt have had recourse to a supposed
ly accidental fall, so that they would
not lose any ground, It having been a
rule not to allow any laps gained when
on accident or fall of any description
occurred. In this race the board of
referees has the power to decide wheth
er a contestant who has fallen shall lose
the distance represented by how far the
others have ridden while he or his part
ner has been oft the track.
Then Anothor Spill.
At the end of four hours there was
another spill. Nat Butler, of the West
ern team, ran Into the rear wheel of
Carl A. Llmberg's bicycle and both went
down. Arthur Vanderstuyft, of the
German-Americon-Belglum team, who
was directly behind, fell over the two
men. Llmberg's arms were badly
bruised and he left the track. The
other two continued the race.
8tart at 1 s. m,
The race was started promptly at 1
o’clock, when James J. Corbett, heavy
weight pugilist and thesplan, fired a
shot from a pistol.
It was estimated that close on to
16,000 people had Jammed their way
through the narrow entrances during
the Bhort time between the opening of
the doors and the start of the race. The
crowd outside was nil that 126 police
men stationed within a block could
handle. Twenty-five of these were
mounted men, but at that hour the
majority who strove to get into tho
building hed succeeded.
Some riders began to pedal around
the saucer-Ukc track before midnight
They were promptly stopped by the
police. According to the men and their
trainers, they had been using the track
during the afternoon, but at that time
there were no police present
