KONEYMAKES
'NO ERRORS IN
481 CHINCES
ST. l.iil’ls, MO., Aug. H.— Dur
ing these busy days, when
things of much note are hap
pening. the performances of one
player have been ove look< d bj
the dope sharks This player is Ed
ward Konetchy, the Wisconsin boy
who first sacks for the Cardinals.
Koney has handled 481 straight
Chances without a<; error. He has
playofi 44 games without a slip.
Koney is going along trying to
make a name for himself as king
of the first 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
record of no errors in 44 games
is something worth while.
Kciney'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
Koney 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
t us far. a; least tn the last 44
games, has escaped a black mark.
Then, many times he saves the in
fielders from black marks when
they make hurried throws b\ mak
ing one-handed stabs for high
throws or digging ’em out of the
turf
The big t ain is one of the most
valuable assets to the lo.pal Nation
al league erftry. 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 made 29 as
sists in the 44 games. His busiest
afternoon was on June 21. when he
got tour assists. <>n more than
me occasion he has been credited
with three assists in a game, while
the twos come as regular as the
ones. The other 152 chances he has.
been credited with have been put
outs.

I before Jim Jeffries, and giving the then
