pinch HITTING
DIFFICULT TASK
FEW SUBSTITUTE BATTERs HAVE
MADE GOOD WHEN HIT WAS
NEEDED TO SAVE THE
DAY

Few OF the players in the National
league have been hitting at their real
gait to date This is evidence not
alone by the positions some of them
occupy i'm the list of batsmen, but as
well by the large number of pinch hit
ters used.
Up to a week ago not less than 210
emergency batsmen had been used by
the eight league managers i'm their
efforts to turn the tide when the for
tunes of war were going against them.
The records would fail To reveal in
the past decade season where sub
sttute batsmen were sc freely used by
every team in the race. This year
they have been sent in to bat not only
for weak-htting pitchers, but for
other players who stand well up on
the batting order, but who have not
been clouting at their accustomed
gait, and in whom the manager
lacked confidence when bingle was
badly needed to win a game.
A Good Stunt
III view OF the frequency with which
emergency hitters have been used,
the question has arisen as to just how
often the desired end is attained by
this method. Fans will argue that 1t
must produce results, or II would not
be tried so often. A ball player who
manages to hit safely i'm a pinch two
or three times in succession often
gains a reputation along this line
which the records fail to bear out.
Pittsburg and Chicago have used
fewer pinch hitters to date than the
other clubs. Strange as 1t may APP
pear, in view of the hard luck the Pr
rates have had their emergency hit
tiers have done the most effective work.
Campbell has made good oftener than
any other man i'm the business to date.
The average of Pittsburg's pinch hit
ter is 1853.
Chances Cubs have connected for
percentage of .235 and the other
clubs rank as follows Boston, POI:
st. Louis, 1872; Cincinnati, 1926; Phil
adelphia, .103; Brooklyn, .0S7; and
New York, .O37. Ward Miller of the
Cincinnati Reds has been used often
er in this capacity than any other
player. He has been sent i'm Is times
and has made only two hits and Sc
cured one base on balls. Ward of the
Phillies has gone up Is times and has
garnered but two hits. Becker of the
Giants has tried his luck 10 times and
has not connected safely on a single
occasion.

Addison County For Mead.

Judging from present indications, it
will be Governor John A. Mead for the
next chief executive of Vermont. The
storm of opposition that ragged from the
anything to beat Mead" crowd, and the
natural opposition from those who were
opposed on general principles to the pro.
motion of any Acknowledgements to
the higher Office, have both subsidized to
a marked degree, and the nomination of
the genial doctor from Rutland appears
to be practically assured. just what
the exact situation is in other counties,
we don't pretend to know, but in this
county there appears on the surface to be
an exceedingly large sentiment in favor
of the nomination of the lieutensnt gov
ernor.-Vergennes Vermonter,

Mead Support Not Artificial.

The truth is the support of DR.. Mead
is not one bit more "artifcial" than
that accorded to any other candidate. 1t
is just as spontaneous as that given to
any of his opponents. The opposition
have made several attempts to produce
candidate whose support would be
Spontaneous but wherein does it differ
from the support that is being given to
Dir. Mead? 1t was heartily believed
that c. p Smith would be the nan to
bring the voters of the state to their feet
shouting. Was there any spontaneity
to the support accorded to the Burling-
ton man? If there was none of his
friends have been able to locate it.
Mr.. Fleetwood is busy going up and
down the state. He is writing letters to
practical polticians-those who are sup
posed to have influence in their respec-
tive communities-o openly asking their
support, Is the support that he is win.

False News Dispatch.

The most conspicuous example of
pettifogging against DR.. Mead to date is
in the form of a news dispatch dated
from Newport and finding space in the
columns of daily contemporary, stating
that his strength in Orleans, Caledonia
and Essex counties was waning. Now
the Monitor from personal knowledge of
the territory in which it circulates has
right to believe it knows with some de-
gree of certainty the political situation
in this county, and states unhesitatlngly
that it is entirely contrary to the dis
patch in question. The Monitor has
never pretended that Orleans county
was for DR.. Mead to a man, and does not
say 50 now, but DR.. Mead's strength is
greater in this section to day than it has
ever been Decentralization Monitor.

those who seek to encompass his defeat
to put enough stool pigeon candidates

have been calling for a convention of
unpledged delegates ask for pledges
when there is a chance to get pledges for
any other candidate than DR.. Mead
