new RECORDS TO
Be MADE THIS YEAR
Enthusiasts Are Watching
Work of Luderous-After
Seybold's Record.

Washington, Aug. 17.-When the
baseball season closes in October the
fans will have new batting records to
discuss. Judging from the way the
batters in both the American and Ma
tional leagues are hitting the ball this
year, new records are surely to be
made. During the present season an
unprecedented number of extra base
drives have been made. There is ev-
cry reason to believe that new records
will be established for two-baggers
and three-base drives as we'll as for
home runs.
Since there is something magical in
the word home rum" naturally the
fans throughout the country are inter-
ested in the player who manages to
get the greatest number of four-base
drives during the season.
At the present time enthusiasts all
over the country are watching the hat
work Of young Fred Luderus, the Phil
lies first baseman, who. by his bat
ting this year has become as famous
as the noted Cobb or Hans Wagner.
Luderus is after the home-run record
made in 1899 by Buck Freeman of the
Washington Nationals. Freeman that
year established the modern home
run record by making twenty-five
homers. The National league clubs
have finished little more than half
their schedule and during that time
the Philadelphian player has scored
more than half the number needed to
break the old figures. Up to Monday
Luderus was credited with fourteen
home runs all made on the field in
Philadelphia.
SeybOld q Hitter
Socks Seybold holds the American
league record for home runs. He es-
tablished it in 1902. The former Ath-
letic who is now playing ball in the
American association, in that year
made sixteen. Luderus is confident
that he will be able to surpass this
record. Tim Jordan, former Brook
lyn player now with Toronto, made a
close approach to Seybold's record in
1906. He also repeated in 1908. Jor-
dan in both years made twelve hon.
ers. Last season Fred Beck, of the
Boston Nationals, and Schultz of the
Cubs were tied for the home-run hon
ors In the National league. They each
got ten. Schultz is coming fast in this
line this year.
1t is fact that one man has made
seven homers in single game.

CINCINNATI PLAYERS
ARE FOOTBALL STARS
Many Old Gridiron Athletes Included
In Team Which Is Puzzle to
Fans and Scribes

Cincinnati, Aug. 17.-Fans and
scribes throughout the country have
wondered at the failure of the Reds
this season. The same old trouble is
still there, and always will be, unless
some intelligence Is pounded into the
heads of certain members of the
team.
For three years the Reds have been
known as the best base stealing club
in the country and have also been a
wonderful hitting club. The fielding
has been trifle bad, and the pitch
ing has never been anything extra /;
but with the offensive strength pos
sessed by the Reds they should al
ways be up close to the leader.
One player got on first base with
the team in the lead In a recent game
and nobody down. Instead Of play
ing safe and sane baseball he made a
dash for second to help out his base
stealing record. instead Of waiting for
q sacrifice.
Another instance is shown In the
wonderful base stealing record Of Bob
Bescher last season, despite the fact
that he only batted $50 and the club
finished in the second division. More
thar half of Bescher's stolen bases
were secured when the Reds were
either so far ahead that the opposing
catcher never made a play, or the
Reds were SO far behind that the
same conditions prevailed with the
catcher
Records show that but few Of the
bases stolen by the Reds have been
made at opportnne times, and indi-
vidual bali playing has ruined the
clubs chances.
The Reds boast Of more good foot
hall players on their club than any in
the league.
Bob Bescher, left fielder on Griff's
club Is probably the star of the bunch.
Bob was fullback at Notre Dame for
three years, and bears the proud dis
tinction of having been chosen all
western fullback for two or three
years. A salesman blew into the hotel
here few days ago who was class
mate of Bescher. He said Bob was
ne greatest back he ever saw.
The other Cincinnati players who
have won fame on the gridiron are
Dick Hoblitzel, Dick Egan. Art From
me and Balenti, the Carlisle Indian
few years ago.
Hobby played with the University
Of Pittsburg which claimed the cham
pionship of the entire country last
season. Hobby was an end, and q
rattling good one. !.
Dick Egan played quarterback on
the University Of California team, and
was peach. according to all &C
counts. Rromme was great tackle
at5the University of Mississippi and
earned a place on the all-southern
team for two years.
