It's Only Us

Arizona and her constitution are receiving little attention at Wash Ington, according to Theodore Phillips the Winkelman mining man who has just returned from the east. Politics is ever the supreme subject of discussion" he said ''In the Hobbies of the Wash ington hotels, on the streets and every way one turns he hears people talking about the political situs- ton in Washington and various parts of the country. Arizona is seldom mentioned. All the state hood agitation I have heard ia right here in Arizona. Naturally this territory is much worked up about the constitution, but Wash ineton isn't losing any sleep about it."

ested in the player who manages to gel
the greatest number Of four base drives
during the season.
At the present time enthusiasts al
over the country are watching the bal
work of young Fred Luderus, the Phil
lies first baseman, who by his batting
early this year became as famous as the
noted Cobb or Hans Wagner. Luderus
is after the home run record made in
1899 by Buck Freeman of the Wash
ington Nationals. Luderus recently
slumped in his batting and was re
placed by Bransfeld, but Manager
Doom believes on his return he will
regain his eye.
"Socks" Seybold holds the American
league record for home runs. He es
tablished it In 1902 The former Ath
letic in that yeal made sixteen.
Luderus record compared to those
made when baseball vas in it's in,
fancy might be called joke. The
game, however, has changed much
since then, especially the batting and
pitching. Then, too, batters played O
greater part in the game than pitchers.
1t is a remarkable feat today fol
a batter 10 make two home runs il
one game, whereas in olden times two
and three were not unusual.
However, it is a fact that one man
has made seven homers in a single
game. On June II, 1867, Harry
Wright, playing for the Cincinnati
club against the Holt club of New.
port, KY, made that number. A yeaI
later Lip Pike made six in one con.

fielder played with San Francisco, Bo.
die made thirty home runs.
Ty Cobb of the Tigers is also striv'
ing for a batting record. He is after
the one Hugh Duffy set up in 1894,
which WAS .43S for 124 games.
Duffy Lewis of the Red Sox is try
ing his hardest to beat the record
made last year by Nap LaJoie for two
base drives. Last year Lajoie made
ffty-one doubles. Lewis has made
more than half the number. If he
continues his present gait he Is conf
dent of beating Lajoie's mark.
La5oie also holds the record for the
greatest number Of triples made dur
ing a season He established it in
1903, when he registered twenty-three
for the season. To date Larry Doyle
Cobb and Cree have each passed the
fifteen mark. -
