BASEBALL
SUMMARY
BY 13 POUTS
I T looks very muoh as if Jake Dau-
bert will te at the head of the
National L «agne batters when the
1913 season cdmes to an end. The
Brooklyn first sacker is hitting the
ball at a .371 clip, 13 points ahead of
his nearest rival, Charlie McDaniel, of
Boston.
Earl Tingling, teammate to Dau-
bert, has the highest average, but he
has been in only 27 games.
Ham Hyatt, Cravath, Viox, Zim
merman and Wheat are some other
players in Tom Lynch’s circuit who
are swatting the ball at a merry clip.
Following are the averages up to

by football is the latest addition to
the curriculum of sports which have
been adopted by the colleges in Ja
pan, according to the members of the
Stanford University baseball team,
which has returned from a tour of
the Orient.
Louis Cass, varsity Rugby captain
last seas m. was enlisted to coach the
players of Keio University during the
stay of the Cardinal nine in Tokio.
According to the Stanford boys the
sons of the chrysanthemum empire
are remarkably fast in following the
ball and are adept in passing and
dodging, but have not yet learned
much of the fine points of the game.
BUYS PITCHER.

Welchonce Can’t Catch Robertson

May Break Hit Record, However
H ARRY WELCHONCE'S prospects of catching the slugging D. Rob
ertson did not improve much in the batting figures for the week
ending August 26, at which time Hobby was breezing along in front
with an average of .347 to Harry’s .335, with Kniseley, the Baron’s hitting
bear, sandwiched tightly between and fitting .338.
Harry still leads by a big margin in the number of hits, however, and
by dint of rapping out an average of a little inpre than one to the game
he can surpass the Southern League record.
Rivington Bisland’s batting average is beginning to feel the effects of
his terrific hammering in the last week, though the figures do not include
those four hits in four times up on last Wednesday.
Tommy Long, besides passing the Southern League record for runs
scored, is hitting .314, with prospects of going still higher.
Following are the figures of those hitting .200 or better, including the
games of Tuesday, August 26:
MIKE D0NLIN MAY MANAGE
JERSEY CITY BALL CLUB
JERSEY CITY, Aug. 30.—President
Thomas Fogarty, of the Jersey City
club when questioned as to the report
that Mike Donlin was to manage the
Skeeters next season, refused either to
affirm or deny the rumor. Ians here
seem to think that there is considerable
truth in the report, however, although
thev feel that Larry Schiafly is not
wholly to blame for the lowly position of
the locals in the league race.

FUST PLACE
SEEMS STRONG
rr^IIERE seems to be no very good
I reason to believe Baron Prough
will be displaced from the lead
ership of the Southern League pitch
ing list this season. Covelf^kle has
suffered another jolt, and the Baron
has a wide margin over Cavet, who is
third.
Conzelman and Price, of the Crack
ers are fourth and fifth, Gilbert’s rec
ord of 17 victories and 8 defeats just
about doubling both sides of Joe's av
erage. Both are ahead of Elmer
Brown, the high-priced Montgomery
hurler.

DEMAREE TIES
PITCHING [[AD
t "X jlTH twelve victories and three
\]\ defeats to their credit, A1
Demaree and Bert Humphries
are setting a hot pace for the other
twlrlers In the old league. Demaree
is doing his best to give the Giants
another pennant this season, and he
will probably be a prominent figure
in the world series this fall. Hum
phries has been Johnny Evers’ main
standby in many of the Cubs’ tough
est series.
Christy Mathewson, the old master,
continues to hold his place near the
top of th$ National League hurlers.
Christy has won 22 games so far this
season—more than any other twirler
in the league, lie has suffered but
seven defeats.

IS CLOSE TO
I
T -TERE Is no danger that any one
but Walter Johnson will head
the list of American League
pitchers this season—or that any
hurler in the elder big league will
threaten his mark. Walter's youthful
rival, Joe Boehling, started off with
a rush, but after compiling eleven
consecutive victories, he lost five of
his next seven games and is now In
a race with Houck and Bender of the
Athletics for second place.
Wood of the Red Sox, after a dis
mal start, ha* fought his way well
up among the leaders, though his
work has by no means been charac
terized by its wonderful effectiveness
of last season.

COLLINS’ SPEED IN FIELD
MAKES PRATT LOOK SLOW
CHANCE HAS IDEAS ON
PLAYING WORLD’S SERIES
DETROIT, MICH., Aug. 30.—Man-
ager Frank Chance, of the Yankees,
in talking of the coming world series
to-day, expressed the opinion that at
least fifteen games would be neces
sary to actually decide which was the
better team, though, of course, the
title will, as usual,, be decided in
seven games.
"Of course, such a long series
would be likely to pall upon the fans
of the two cities between which the
games would be divided,” he said. "To
overcome this dilflculty, I would sug
gest that at least half a dozen of the
games be played in other cities than
the homes of the two pennant win
ners. No matter what teams were
winners, one game In each other ma
jor league town would draw a ca
pacity crowd. St. Louis, Cincinnati,
Cleveland and Washington have nev
er had a chance to see a modern
world’s series game. Only Chicago,
New York and Philadelphia have seen
enough of them to be accustomed to
them.
"Of course, all of the cities could not
be accommodated with a game, but
among them a fifteen-game schedule
could be arranged in such a manner
that the team owners, the players
and the National Commission all
could get a great deal more money
than they do now, and the series
would he conclusive as to the cham
pionship. At present it is not con
clusive. the breaks in the luck figur
ing too largely. I am confident that
in a few years there will be a change
and that some plan will be worked
out for improvement.”
ST, LOUIS. MO., Aug 30 —Eddie Col
lins is just about the best second sack
er in the Ban Johnson etrouit- Columbia
•Edward pulled a play In the game
against the Browns at Sportsman’s
Park Monday that no other second base
man would have been able to make, with
the possible exoeption of Nap Lajoie.
In the third inning, Del Pratt banged
a mean bounder toward right field. Col
lins hiked over, and the ball hopped up
and hit him in the face and rolled into
right But Eddie did not stop. He
hiked right after the pill and got It in
time to throw Pratt out at first.
CARDINALS NOT FOR SALE.
NEW YORK, Aug. 30.—DenlaJ of
the report that the St. Louis Na
tionals contemplated a sale of the
club If the right price were offered is
contained in a statement by Schuyler
P. Britton, made public here to-day.

STAGG RECOVERS HEALTH
AND RETURNS TO COACHING
CHICAGO. An* 30—Coach A A.
Stagg, of the University of Chicago,
completely recovered from the nervous
breakdown that compelled him to quit
his labors last winter, is back on the job.
ami to-day was scanning the list of
Maroon football prospects.
For nine months Stagg has been liv
ing the simple life at Idaho Springs,
Colo , sending most of the time tramp
ing the mountains. He directed the
training of the university athletes in the
spring by mail.
PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 30.—Walter
Schartg. who has been doing all the
catching for the Athletics in the last
few weeks, will soon be able to take his
much-needed rest. Walter is working
despite a spiked foot and a bruised hand,
but he’s the only survivor able to do
any work.
Ira Thomas, the real veteran of the
staff, though, will be ready in a few
days, and then Hi Lung will be given a
chance to rest up by Manager Mack.
Ira is out with a busted finger, but the
member is healing nicely, and Ira will
be ready within a few days.
Although Ira is not as starry a mask-
man as Sehatig, he will come in handy,
as it will give the youngster a chance
to rest up for the games later in the
campaign, as there is little chance that
Jack Lapp will be able to catch for the
remainder of the season.
