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 three weeks, Hoblltzel, broken ankle, out four weeks. Martians, sprained ankle, out throe weeks. Philadelphia—Dooln, broken finger, cut three weeks; Paskert, typhoid fe 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 Schedule Announced EASTON, PA . Sept 13 —The football schedule of the Lafayette College foot ball team announced Is regarde*! as a very good one. although disappointment is expressed from a local standpoint In that not a single big game Is scheduled for home Cornell will be the one big team that will be new to the schedule The University of Pennsylvania game will come much earlier this year Ruek- nell.

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: -« .854 j 17 347 1 146 .841 24 .333 > 59 28 .812 1 122 .310 ' 80 .306 1 32 .305 j 143 .304 14 .304 ' .303 i .300 .287 ! .297 I 297 133 .268 82 .268 I 25 85 .267 78 119 .266 58 13ft .2 66 134 .265 l 18 .265 115 .264 61 .264 128 .264 86 .263 83 .268 ? . ab. 1 174 Welchonce, Atlanta 143 668 D.

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.

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. TENTATIVE TIGER LINE-UP.
