KONEV IMS NO MRS IN 481 CHANGES ST. LOUIS. MO., Aug. 14. - Dur ing these busy days, when things of much note are hap pening. the performances of one player have been overlooked by al! the dope sharks. This player is Ed "ard Konetchy. the Wisconsin boy who first sacks for tile Cardinals Konev has handled 481 straight chances without an error. He has , played 44 games without a slip. Konev, is going along trying tn make a name for himself as king of the fir'st sackers. Some term him that now. There are a few better, one of the most notable of these being .lake Daubert. of Brooklyn. Nevertheless. Koney’s r record of no errors In 44 games is something worth while. Koney’s great record is all the more remarkable considering the fact that he has many chances to make errors relaying balls to the plate. The big first sacker not only does duty in his territory, but when a ball is hit to the outfield Konev is right on the job to take the relay and peg it to the plate or any other base. In this way he has good chances of making errors, but thus far, at least in tile last 44 games, has escaped a black mark. Thon, many times he saves the in fielders from black marks when they make hurried throws by mak ing one-handed stabs for high throws or digging ’em out of the t urf The big train is one of the most valuable assets to the local Nation al league entry, and he should make a modern day record of straight games without an error. Ever since Koney has been in the Tom Lynch organization he has been right up with the leaders in fielding each season, and this year is out to land at the head, which he stands a good chance of doing. To prove the assertion that Koney Is a busy individual is true, it will be said that he has rttade 29 as sists in the 44 games. His busiest afternoon was on June 21, when he got four assists. On more than one occasion he has been credited with three assists in a game, while the twos come as regular as the ones. The other 452 chances he has been credited with have been put outs.
