THIS SEASON TO HOLD LEAD
All Other Big League Baseball
Teams Suffered Badly by
Broken Down Men.
1 TL THEN th© list of accidents and
Injuries to major Ieagu»*
players for this season 1h
tabulated, then probably a record will
be registered. Never before, anyway
not for recent years, have there been
ho many mishaps to the athletes of
■he diamond.
Only one team has escaped the
wave of accidents, and this is the
New York Giants. No doubt this
probably accounts for the late streak
of the National League champions
which brought them up to the top of
the ladder after they were counted
out of the running
All other clubs, though, have been
victims of accidents which have taken
away their starH for lengthy periods
And this, no doubt, has been quite an
Important factor In deciding the two
major league pennant races
Here Is a list of the Important in- |
lured athletes.
National League.
St. Louis—Huggins, hit on head by
•hrown ball, out two weeks; Hauser,
injury to knee which practically has
kept him out all year, Wingo, broken
thumb, out iwo weeks
Pittsburg—-Gibson, fractured knee,
out two months; Wagner, injured
knee, out almost all year.
Chicago—Archer, twice suffered
broken finger and out for four weeks;
Zimmerman, Injured foot and out
three weeks.
Cincinnati—Tinker, attack of ap
pendicitis and sprained ankle, out

out four weeks. Martians, sprained

Philadelphia—Dooln, broken finger,

ver, out two weeks; Magee, Injured
arm, out two weeks.
Brooklyn— Rucker, Injured thumb,
out two weeks; Catchers Irwin and
Miller, broken fingers, out Indefinitely
Boston—Sweeney, injured leg, out
two weeks.
New York—Nothing of importance.
American League.
St. Louis Stovall, injured hands,
out off and on, may not play any
more this season; Wallace, broken
left hand, will be out four weeks
Johnson, hit on head by pitched hall,
out ten days.
Cleveland—Birmingham, broken leg,
out two months; Lajole, Charley
horse, out ten days; Chapman, in
jured ankle, out a week.
Detroit—Cobb, spiked twice, out
two weeks; Gainer, twist* d ankle, out
a week.
Chicago—-Walsh, sore arm, out three
weeks, not with team now In East;
Weaver, sore arm, out ten days; Lord,
sprained ankle, out ten days
Philadelphia—Coombs, typhoid fe-
\ er, out since first of season, has not
pitched single game
Washington -Gandll, sore foot, out
a month; Foster, typhoid fever, out
two months. Many other minor in
juries to players.
Boston—Wood, Injury to arm In
spring, out two weeks, Injury' to
thumb now, will keep him out two
more weeks; Htahl, Injured foot, out
all year; Bedient, sore arm. out two
weeks.
New York—Sweeney, broken finger,
out a month.
And while the list could be boosted
f>v a dozen or more, this only shows
the Important athletes who have been
kept out of the game since April.
The loss of Jake Stahl. Joe Wood
and Hugh Bedient put the Red Sox
out of the running. And finally Stahl, j
when he couldn’t play and the
< hamps started to slip, his Injury cost
him hi* job.
The case of the Senators almost 1h
the same, and but for being without
many of their stars they probably
would be right up with the Athletics
to-day. Only for a short run has
Griffith been able to present his en
tire team on the field.
Fortunately for the Giants and Me
draw they have escaped the hoodoo. ,
However, the shrewd John J has sup-,
plied himself with extra material, and j
an injury to any of his inflelders or
outfielders would not weaken the j
Giants much. He has Shafer. Grant,
McCormack, Cooper and Thorpe ready
to step in.
Even the pitching staff Is protected,
and It would take more than a mls-
ap to Matty or Marquard to stop the
Giants, as Fromme, Wilts*- and Cran
dall probably could step in and hold
up the Gotham crew.
The Athletics, by developing sev
eral young pitchers, have traveled
along w ithout Jack Coombs, who has
been the only Injury Even the in-
flelders have been in there every day
since April 10, which has helped.
But down the list of the other
teams all of them have been battered
and punctured, the great Tvrus, L:t-
joie. Wagner. Dooln, Rucker Archer,
Zimmerman. Sweeney, Walsh and
many others being the victims
Lafayette Football

Pennant Winners
In Struggle To-day
Two pennant winners In amateur city
leagues will meet at Brisbane Park this
afternoon at 3:30 o’clock, when the First
Baptist Sunday School team of the
Sunday School League, meets the Ago-
ga*. of the Bargca League.
Both teams are composed of first-class
ball players, a few of whom may be
seen In professional line-ups next year
The rivalry Is keen between the two
leagues, as a consequence, a big crowd
will be out to watch the proceedings.
CROSS-COUNTRY TOURIST
ON WAY EAST FROM COAST
Immediately after the finish of the
j recent Indiana-Pacific tour. W. O. L,
Westgard, field representative of the
j American Automobile Association,
I started cast from Los Angeles over a
I route that will be by far the longest
' and In some ways one of the most
! important cross-country lines It
! ’>vi 11 run via Yuma, Phoenix, El Paso,
i Fort Worth, Dallas. Texarkana. Little
J Rock. Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville,
j Asheville. Greensboro. Richmond,
j Washington. Baltimore and Philadel
phia, to New York.
pMIE Southern League season of 1913 now Is spread on the final rec
ords, and Harry Welchonce for the second time leads the list of
Southern League batsmen, topping the‘list with the grand batting
average of .840.
Harry put on a great spurt In the final week of the season, and at
last headed J>ave Robertson, topping him by a single point, but failing
to wrest from him the Rose medal for batting, on account of an ab
surd provision that the last week of play had nothing to do with the
batting strength and value of the respective stickmen
The Ros** medal Is a handsome affair, but It typifies a rather empty
victory for Dave, great slugger that he Is. Harry, moreover, set a new
league record for hits In a season, collecting 193 in his 143 games, two
more than the mark established by Huelsman in 1901.
Of the Crackers, Welchonce, Long, Nixon, Chapman and Blsland all
hit above the coveted .300 mark, while Agler was only five points shy of
the charmed circle—as grand a hitting aggregation as ever carried any
club to ultimate and well-deserved victory In any league. Bisland’s
spurt in the last six weeks was a bright particular feature of his work,
and his average of 302, taken with his wonderful fielding, stamps him
as one of the Individual stars of the season in all leagues.
Following are the final figures for the season:

Travers Says: ‘Keep
Your Eye on Ball’
Most Poor Shots Caused by Look
ing Up, Champion
Insists.
DENVER. Sept 13.—Frankie Burns,
of Jersey City, had all the better of his
ten-round fight here last night with Earl
Denning, of Chicago
NEW YORK. Sept. 13.—“Jerry”
Travers and Walter J. Travis have
both said time after time that they
thought more bad shots at golf were
caused by failure to “keep the eye
on the ball” than by any other fault.
“Jerry,” in a dose matcher, keeps re
peating to himself, “Keep your eye
on the ball” every time he is prepar
ing to make a stroke.
A few years ago in the amateur
championship at Garden City, Tra
vers and Travis were engaged in one
of their famous duels for supremacy.
Things had not been going w r ell for
“Jerry" and he found himself two
down with four to play. He won the
fifteenth, which then was the thirty-
third of the match, by a grand put.
He did keep his eye on the ball,
and reaching the green won the hole
and squared the match. From the
seventeenth tee Travis, for some un
accountable reason for him, again
looked up instead of keeping his eve
on the ball, and half topped and
hooked it into sand mounds, while
“Jerry” was safely dow’n the middle
by tending strictly to business won
the hole, and the next one and the
match.
Keeping the eye on the ball may or
may not sound foolish, but helps spell
success at golf. If the eye is on the
ball the mind is apt to be concen
trated on the work in hand.
That final peep up the course Just
as you are about to put beef into the
ball accounts for more topped, sliced,
pulled and schlaffed shots than any
thing else you do.
You could not hit a croquet ball
with any accuracy unless you kept
your eye on it. A croquet ball is
many times as large as a golf ball,
and is much easier to hit. The same
rule applies to billiards, tennis or
baseball. You must keep your eye on
the ball.
Wooden-Legged
Southpaw May
Join Big League
The big leagues have harbored
many a southpay of distinction.
Managers, as a rule, assert that
there is something queer about
every fork-handed flinger. Barney
Pelty, who scouts for several big
league clubs, including the St.
Louis team, promises to spring a
new and original one, how’ever. In
a wooden-legged southpaw whom
he discovered in the Southeastern
Missouri League. This phenom
has Just completed one of the best
records ever compiled in the
“Show Me” circuit, having won
twenty-one and lost only three
games.
SLIPS A BIT
T WO youngsters, dad with the
same number of victories and
defeats, top the National
League hurling list—Humphries, of
the Cubs, and Dcmaree, of the Giants.
Alexander, of the Phillies, has crept
up ahead of “Bix Six” Mathew'son,
who is tied with Seaton, the Phillies’
speed marvel. Old Mordecai Brown,
of the Reds, has been in more games
than Matty, even, and has obtained
slightly better than an even break-—
a marvelous performance with Cin
cinnati.
Here are the figures, including the
games of last Wednesday:
HURLING BIN JOHNSON STILL
FAILED TB TOP LEADS AMERICAN
BILL PBOIIBH LEAGUE HBBLEBS
B ARON BILL FRO UGH, Winner
of the Rose medal for Southern
League pitching, never was
headed by the Big Pole, Harry Cove
leskie, despite the efforts of the giant
southpaw in working overtime. In
some quarters It is said that Prough
ducked some tough games in order to
keep his record high, and it is certain
that he did not pitch against Atlanta,
which Coveleskie did—all too fre
quently for th© Crackers’ peace of
mind.
At any rate, Prough heads the hurl
ing list of 1913, with Coveleskie a fine
second. Then follow three- great At
lanta pitchers--Conzelman, Price and
Dent, In the order named, and well
up in the percentage column. Cavet
is next In order, with a most credita
ble record. Carl Thompson, after tho
bllgh* of hit bum start with Bir
mingham, nearly achieved the .500
mark in hit clever and nervy work
for the Crackers.
Following are the final figures:
G. W. L. PC.
Hendee, Nashville.

More Kicking Aids
Light Teams in
Football This Year
Football this season will b© more
spectacular from the side lines than
has been the case in years. The re
moval of the restriction from kicks,
allowing them to be made from any
point instead of from a point at least
five yards behind the line of scrim
mage, Is expected to result in trick
plays galore and also in the spec
tacular short kicks which featured
the game to such an extent several
years.
All sorts of forward passes, quick
opening smashes and delayed plays
seem certain this year from kick for- I
mation, and, on the other hand, most |
shrewd coaches will double-cross the
enemy with kicks from regular for
mation. The rule makers could not
have made a change that would have
added more to the attractiveness of
the game from the spectators’ stand
point.
The new liberties with the kick |
will suffice also, as was the case with
the forward pass, to give the lighter
teams a more equal chance w r ith the
heavier elevens, as with a subtle of
fense mingled plentifully with short
kicks and long passes, speed, skill,
cunning and endurance will count for
as much as brute force and physical
strength. The local coaches are cer
tain to avail themselves to the ut
most of the kicking game and Chatta
nooga fans will see a great deal of
the typical Sam McAUester football.
