FEW STOLEN BASES ON
LIVINGSTON AND ARCHER
Two Players of American and National
League To Whom Credit is Due.

Paddy Livingston of the Athletics
had less bases stolen on him than
any of his American League rivals
His record was twenty-six stolen
bases in thirty seven games, a per-
centage of 40 or better than any
backstop in either league.
His teammate, Ira Thomas, who per-
formed SO creditably in the worlds
series, ranked ninth in the league with
an average of a steal game
Kleinow of Boston, who was secured
by that team from New York, finished
second with a record but slightly
lower than Livingston. Beckendorf of
Washington, another discarded re-
ceiver. ranked third, while Casey, who
beat Beckendorf out of his job as
third catcher Tor Detroit finished a
fraction behind him.
OF these catchers who are really en-
titled to recognition, Sweeney Of New
York leads, though fifth in line in the
averages. He participated in seventy
one game and naturally is entitled to
more consideration than those whose
backstOps who were worked in fewer
contests.
In the National league Jimmy Ar
cher Of the Chicago Cubs had fewer
bases stolen on him during the past
season than any OF his twenty two
National league rivals. The Chicago
star, in forty mine games, allowed thir-
tyseven pliers, or .76 per game Nc
Lean of Cincinnati ranked second, al
lowing ninety-five steals in l19 con-
tests. Clarke of the same team al
lowed SO or forty five steals'in fifty
four battles
Breshnahan of the Cardinals allowed
one and a quarter steals per game, or
against him was ninty-seven larcenies
in seventy eight battles. Phelps failed
TO hold the runners as well, his record
being 125 stolen bases i'm eighty games,
an average of 165 Bliss ranked alb
solutely last in the list of catchers,
with twenty-eight annexed bases in an
even dozen games, or a record of 2.33.
Gibson of Pittsburg maintained his
reputation as an iron man, his 143
games being high for the organization.
In this Marathon stunt he allowed
1875 steals, an average Of "a per game.
King OF Chicago did slightly better in
percentage than the Pirate heavy
weight, allowing 81 to steal Meyers
of New York allowed a steal game.
Doom of Philadelphia permitted 1l3
pliers in eighty eight games. an aver
age of 1923.

SHIFT Of SPOTLIGHT
FOR THE BIG lEAGUtRs
Baseball Fans are Tickle Lot and Eas-
lily Shift Their Loyalty.
Exit Babe Adams.

Exit Babe Adams.
Enter show music for Hans Wagner.
The large spot light for Eddie Col
Inns.
The quietness of his Kansas ranch
for Fred Clarke.
A trip to Europe for Connie Mack
Baseball is a funny old game. The
fans from coast To coast were singing
the praises of that clever manager or
the Pittsburg Pirates. Fred Clarke.
Now they are proclaiming Connie
Mack as the greatest Napoleon of all
times. One only hears Clarke's name
in comparison.
Twelve months ago Babe Adams
hitherto an almost unknown twirler,
was the sensation of the entire base
ball world. because of his remarkable
performance in thrice defeating the
Detroit Tigers. Now Babe Adams is
but memory. John CoOmbs Of
Kennebunkport. Maine. is the latest
hero of the baseball spotlight. Three
victories in six days over the once
ferocious Cubs is Mr.. COMBS claim
to fame and glory.
Last year at this time the sporting
spotlight was at all times directed on
Honus Wagner, sometimes known as
Hans. and regarded as one of the
very best ball players that ever trod
the diamond. In the series with the
Tigers Mr.. Wagner was one large
team in himself At the bat he was a
demon, on the bases he ran wild. and
in the field he was everywhere at the
same time.
The spotlight has shifted Its bright
rays are now being played upon Mr..
Eddie Collins of Philadelphia, star
record sacker of Connie Mack's cham
pions. All the nice things that were
said about Mr.. Wagner a year ago
are now being hurled at the Quaker
athlete. incidentally several new
words of praise have. been coined dur
ing the past year. and all of them are
being used in reference to the said
Mr. E. Collins.
Fans over the country who do not
know Jack Coombs are wondering
what sort of chap is this fellow who
thrice defeated the Cubs in half
dozen days. Take ii from me no ath-
lete is better fitted To wear the crown
OF success than John Coombs. Pros
perity has not tourned his head in the
least and he is teday the same unas-
Stunning. quiet chap he was when he
broke into the ranks of the American
league direct from that dear old coll
fege at Colby. Maine.
Coombs is a lover of nature. He
would much prefer the solitude of the
woods of Maine than the plaudits Of
10000 fans in Philadelphia or Chicago.
He would feel much more elated over
some hunting feat than the hanging
up of a baseball recsrd in the majors.
Coombs likes baseball but not nearly
so much as he likes hunting and
fishing. His love for the diamond
sport is more a monetary affection
During his rather brief career in the
American league Coombs has per-
formed enough remarkable feats to
satisfy time-wor veteran. He has
to his credit a twenty-four inning
victory over Boston. which stands as
the best feat of pitching endurance
ever recorded in the majors. This
year he won thirty victories out OF
thirty nine starts; some pitching, fans.
At one time during the year he held
his opponents runless for thirty-three
innings. also some heaving. He then

Each year every energy was bent to-

opposition had been fairly successful

This year when the Athletics gal
loped away with the bunting in the
Johnsonian organization it was limited
that the stopping Collins would have
the same effect as did the tagging
of Cobb. ITS very questionable if such
would have been the case, but Collins
refused To be a party to the Cub plans.
Instead of being stopped, he went

Manager Gives as Reason
Lack of Material With
Which to Make Satisfac-

Other School Bodies.

Twelve games in which each of the
four teams of the InterschOlastic Ath-
letic association will appear six times,
will constitute the season as arranged
at a meeting of the team managers yes
terday at Tempe. The season viii open
on December II with games at Phoe-
nix and the Normal, the Phoenix high
school and the Tempe high school
crossing bats on the local grounds. and
the normal and Indians appearing in
contest on the normal grounds. The
team winning this years pennant to
have possession of the cup offered by
The Republican until another team
shall have secured another years pen

three pennantS, the cup will pass into
its possession as a permanent trophy
Much regret was expressed at yes
terday's meeting when the manager of
the Mesa high school team announced
that his institution would not be rep
resented In this years contest He
gave as reason that he had been I'M
able TO bring together team of
strength sufficient to make a creditable
showing against the other four teams,
which he knew to be even stronger
than those of last year. For that rea-
son there will be but four teams repre-
senting the association this year
The withdrawal of the Mesa high
school team from the series does not
mean that that institution is no longer
a member of the association, but il NAV
h. H. u
The Ieagile, as now constituted is made
up of the same teams which have con-
tested for several years. the Mesa high
having had baseball team in the field
but one year.
In arranging the schedule January 81
was feft as an open date, and while
February IL is named as the day of
the final games, the season will not
close until a week later This leaves
practically two open dates and is a
provision whereby in the case of the
necessity of a postponement of games
an opportunity will be afforded for
date upon which they may be played
off
In the event of no postponement
having been necessary it is expected
that games will be arranged with out
side teams. 1t is possible that a game
can be arranged with the Jewels and
another nine from the Evans school,
south of Mesa. The Evans school has
heretofore had strong teams in the field
and contests have been eagerly sought
with them.
Now that the schedule has been ar
ranged for the games. the teams will
go into the work of making ready with
an added zeal. Each OF the four teams
have been hard at work for sometime
and are rapidly rounding into shape.
1t is predicted that the best exhibitions
of scholastic baseball ever seen in the
Salt river valley will mark the con-
tests this year
1t was decided yesterday that an ad-
mission fee of % cents win be charged
to all the games. with 10 cents grand
stand fees at the local games. The
proceeds will be divided equally, the
