LEADS ALL AT BAT
Napoleon LajOie's Record for
Nine Years Extraordinary

NEW YORK, March 11.-Napoieon La
joie the giant hitter and manager of the
Cleveland team Of the American league
Is easily entitled to the appellation Of
champion batsman of the world For
nine years service in the major leagues he
has a grand average of 1868, and. all
things considered. it is probably the great
est achievement in the way of hitting the
ball on record. The only man whose
grand average eclipses that OF the French
man Is A. &. Arson. who, during his fif-
teen years record on the diamond, had a
general batting average of 1856 But il
must be remembered that during the
years Arson was piling up this record the
art of pitching was in its infancy, and the
grand old man had none of the puzzIing
delivery to confront him like I.ajoie lad
TO contend with. The ''spit balP' that
Chesbro has made famous had not been
discovered, and famous other inventions
or the willy pitcher were still in embryo.
Therefore. everything considered, La
joie's performance is quite, If not more
creditable, than that of Arson. Lajoie's
record for the nine years is truly won
derful one. His lowest average during
that time was 1928. which he made in
1896, and his highest was .422. which was
made in 1901 In the nine years he went
to bat 4,025 times and made 1.461 hits
He also scored $40 runs. stole 209 bases,
and got in 43 sacrifice hits. He has par
ticipated in $40 games, taking part in 40
last season.
The admirers of Hans Wagner of Pitts
burg have attempted to make il appear
that he Is the superior of Lajoie as a bat
ter. but the figures do not support the
contention. Wagner'S grand average for
eight years is -346, and in no single year
has he reached an average of 1868, which
Is LaJoie's grand average for nine years.

Tommy Murphy to Fight in

Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
NEW YORK, March II. = Unless all
signs fail, Tommy Murphy. the clever
Harlem featherweight. will be seen in an
English ring this spring. Murphy's ehsy
victory over Chick Tucker has boosted
his stock to a considerable degree, and
his manager, Johnny Oliver, is looking for
other worlds to conquer. Recently a local
sporting man received a defy from Owen
Moran. the crack English bantam. through
the latters representative. who is now in
this city. Murphy was mentioned in the
challenge, Moran agreeing to meet Muir
ply at any weight from ia to 116 pounds.
During the last few months Murphy has
become very heavy. and it would be next
to impossible for him to make lie pounds.
However, Oliver says that if Moran is
satisfied he will agree to lis pounds and
meet Moran n-England next May II. this
is satisfactory Oliver will post a forfeit at
once and sign articles.
The National Sporting club of London
has a match for the Derby night date.
Oliver thinks that another fight between
his man and Moran would be a good card.
and is willing to cross the Atlantic il
terms as to expenses and weight can be
made Oliver would like to hear from
Moran's man at once. so that he can make
preparations for the trip. Oliver and
Murphy will be ready to sail for England
as soon as they receive their expense
money, as they wish to be in London at
least six weeks before the match in order
to become acclimated

ARE AFTER POWERS
Eastern League Maqnates Plan
to Gust President
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
NEW YORK, March 11.-Rumors have
scheme to dispose of Bat" Powers from
the presidency of the EasteFn league.
According to the reports George Stallings
of the Buffalo club and Howard Grifiths
the depoSed president of the Jersey City
club, are the prime movers in the anti
Powers plot, and they are intent on call
ing special meeting Of the league and
voting Powers out of Office.
1t is alleged that the first move was
made in Cincinnati, when Griffiths was
elected chairman of committee to con-
duct the negotiations with the majors in
relation to the draft rule. In view of the
fact that Powers was the president of
the National association and should have
represented the minors in so important
matter. it was regarded as a direct slap
at the official. He is said to have retail
ated by .ousting. Griffiths from the presi-
Eastern league, and that brought the dis
pute to a focus.
George Tebeau, the POO Bah" of the
American association, is also said TO have
arrayed against Powers. and is said to be
giving his moral aid to Stallings and Grif-
fithS
volt against Powers is that he has in
sisted on being the one man power of
both the Eastern and National leagues,
and that the others determined to re-
arrange matters so that they could have
a finger in the pie.
When Powers was asked for an opinion
on the matter ne salu- with EMPHASIS
''I do not believe there is such move
ment on foot as suggested. OF course. il
would be possible under the constitution
to depose me if the clubs thought neces-
sary: But was unanimously elected
president of the Eastern league. 1 would
not take it under any other conditions.
Now, having unanimously chosen me as
president, just let any responsible club
owner of the league hint that l am not
wanted. and there will be no necessity
for any scheme to depose me. l will step
out of my own accord very quick. AS
said before, l do not believe there is any
scheme to depose me. but If there is 1
hope some of the responsible men of the
league will say So

The Compensations Of Age.

Old age has so many compensa-
tions that to many it is the verv
crown and JOY of the years. Indeed,
SO well worth while is the period af-
ter the memory has grown rich in
great loves and tender friendships,
in experiences that bless the trials
that give wisdom, that the right
thinking person knows that old age
has come, rather by the number Of
his years than by any gloom at their
having passed. Tennyson, in his
ulysses" shows an understanding
of what age should bring to a strong
SOUL. when he makes that war-worn
hero of many w~anderings and disap-
pointments say to his sailors:
Tho much is taken, much abides:
and tho
We are not now that strength which
in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which
we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts.
Made weak by time and fate, but
strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not TO
yield.

The guest lost the address. and look
ed up the Apostle in the directory.
He observed that his hostess, though
she answered to the proper name,
seemed unprepared for him, and pres
emily he heard her at the telephone.
"Oh, Emma? Is John living at your
house this week? Is he expecting
somebody to dinner to-day? Very
well. The gentleman will be there
in a few minutes" Then, returning
to the stranger, she handed him a
paper slip. "You came to the wrong
house, sir. This is the address you
want" On another occasion, a little
girl came running into the parlor
while a visitor was calling. "Mam-
ma, mamma, papa wants his suitcase
packed. He is going to live with
Aunt Emma this week."-From Les
