II n ILLER HIGGINS. the former
IVE Cincinnati second baseman. who
played with the Cardinals last
year, was the best CRATER in the
National League. so far as drawing
passes is concerned. His nearest rival
is the willy Johnny Eyers, the Cub star.
The small stature OF these two men
has a lot to do with their ability to
work a pitcher for a base on balls, but
of course, both can hit. and they have
good batting eyes, too.
The records show that the New York
Giants did less tanning than any other
team, while Brooklyn did the most. The
Cardinals got the most passes and the
Boston team the least.

Besides being well UP in drawing
passes, Johnny Evers had the distinc-
ton of tanning less than any other
player. He biffed the breezes only IL
times In 125 games. Chief Meyers was
also we'll up in this department. Josh

spect. Bud Sharpe famed 33 times and

A|NSWORTH HEADS
OFF THE SCHEME
TO DRIVE HIN OUT
Adjutant Finds Provision in
Bill to Do Away With
His Office.

When Maj. General Leonard Wood
was made chief of staff Of the army.
being The ranking general officer Of the
military establishment, II was supposed
the historic feud between the office OF
the chief of staff and the office Of the
adjutant general, of which Major Cen
erai Ainsworth Is the head, was at an
end. But II Is not. On the contrary,
the feud is on as bitter as ever.
Interesting evidence of this fact has
come to light before the House Com
mittee on Military Affairs. The other
day, General Wood appeared before the
committee in behalf Of bill to create
a bureau of the general staff. The bill
proposed would materially increase the
power Of the general staff.
Tucked away in the folds of this bill,
there appeared provision which would
have done away with the adjutant gen.
erals office as now constituted. 1t
would have had the effect Of landing
General Ainsworth Out in the field In
command Of 4 division.
General Ainsworth and his friends dis
covered what was in the wind and
busted themselves. The result Is that the
committee probably will kill the bill. In
the meantime the adjutapt generals Of
fec is keeping a strong picket line out
to see that General Wood does not at
tack and capture 1t some dark night.
And the feud between the two offices is
causing e division among army officers
that ramifies more or less through the
War Department.
