HOW THEY DO BAT
No Less Than 26 Western
League Hitters Are in the
800 Glass.
NEED THREE-EYE PITCHING
WEIGH of Omaha on Top With .S72-
Sioux City's Team Average
Given as .2S5.

If the Three-Eye league pitchers
were turned loose in the Western
league perhaps the batting averages
would not be so high. Or is it the
scorers? Or yet possibly the man who
figured out the averages?
According to the official figures
made public today there were no less
than 90 300 hitters in this circuit last
year. This is more than any other
recognized league can shown fact,
almost as many as all other leagues
can muster.
Welch. the hard hitting outfielder of
Omaha led in batting with an average
of 1872 for ISL games. He made 1876
hits for a total of 2SS bases. Miller
of Pueblo was second with 1867 for 81
games.
Sioux City led in the team batting
with the remarkable average of .2S5,
and Omaha was close behind with .2S3.
The Des Moines team, which won the
championship by the narrow margin
of two points, was tied for sixth with
Wichita in the team batting at .260.
Omaha Leads In Fielding.
Omaha led in team fielding with
94S and Sioux City was second with
952 The champion Des Moines team
was fourth with 94S.
Meter of Sioux City led the pitchers
in percentage of victories with seven
games won and two lost for an average
of .77S Olmstead of Denver is the
real leader, with "a games won and
eight lost, for $50. Lange of Des

HOPPER ILL; COMPANY LoAFs.


DeWolf Hopper was put to a heroic
test in holding up his end in the per-
Torrance of "A Matinee Idol at the
Illinois last evening a severe attack
of tonsilitis had so impaired his vocal
equipment that his sentences were
barely audible on the other side of the
footlights. One who is familiar with
the deep rich notes of the natural
Hopper voice Will appreciate the
dampening effect this had upon the
evenings fun. Hopper. it was plainly
apparent, was a sick man. His COM
pany seemed to take advantage of his
indisposition to loaf. and the result
was an Indifferent presentation of what
at its best is far from meeting the
standards of previous song shows in
which the popular comedian has ap-
peared in this section in previous
years The company is small but capa-
BILE on the whole. Hopper has dis
pensed with the chorus man. this fea-
ture of his production being confined
exclusively to women. Not a bad idea
but it materially weakens the volume
in the ensemble singing. One refresh
ing innovation of Mr.. Hopper's is the
elimination of the half naked performer
All of his chorus women played in
skirts of regulation length. In "a
Matinee Idol" Mr. Hopper departs
from the style of Characterization in
which he has made himself famous,
discarding the impossible regalia of
the impossible king and offering him
self as a legitimate comedian in the
apparel of the ordinary citizen. Com
mendable though his ambition be, Mr..
Hopper must be charged with a seri-
Gus mistake, and he will realize it, If
he has not already. if he persists in
his present ambition Hopper is an
intelligent actor and a funny man. but
his main strength lies in his buffoon-
ry. His public will not accept him in
characters of the type that he has
given himself in "A Matinee Idol" 1t
may entail a little Inconvenience and
discomfort in getting in and out of the
kings habilaments, but work is what
gets the money nowadays in the the
atrical business. as in other lines, and
Mr. Hopper will probably become cog
infant before the end of the season
of the fact that the patrons of the
theatre know what they want, and
they will have it. Mr.. Hopper has his
admirers here as elsewhere, and last
evening he was obliged to respond
with curtain talk. Some called for
Casey at the Bat" his masterpiece,
and he might have given it were he
feeling differently. George Mack. a
vest pocket edition comedian. who has
the role of valet to Hopper (whose
character is that of Medford Griffin,
a teacher of elocution). was really the
star of the performance, dividing hon
ors with Miss Bertha Mills, pretty
little sprite with a divinely attuned
voice and magically nimble feet.
Harriet Burt is Mr.. Hopper's leading
woman. She is a graceful dancer,
sings fairly, and is worthy of a "fatterP
