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. VIRGINIA LEAGUE. Games Today. Petersburg in Portsmouth. Norfolk in Newport News Richmond in Roanoke. Standing of the Clubs. W. L.
