INSIDE STUFF ABOUT,
 NEW CLEVELAND SCOUT
George Huff, Who. Quit the Chicago Cubs, Has Discovered Many Diamond Stars

New York, Nov. 28-George Huff, long scout for the Chicago National league club, was recently reported to have hopped to the Chicago Ameri- cans. The latest yarn, which appears to be the right one, is that he has signed with Cleveland to spy out the land for available talent in the minor leagues. George is sone of the many curiOSities to be met with in base ball. He is one of the most successful college coaches in the national pas time that has ever bossed a bunch to perfection, knows the fine points of strategy on the field, and has fre- quently made such radical changes as developing a, catcher into a pitcher, or a pitcher into a catcher. His talent for recognizing latent ability in raw material samong the bushers is re- markable and has given him na- tional reputation.
 The reader might suppose that Georgie, with his long managerial ex- perience and coaching among fast col- lege teams, would be qualified for a trial as boss of big league team. That's what John I. Taylor thought. John L. some four years ago, hired George as the 973d manager of the Boston Americans. If we remember correctly, George lasted somewhat less than a month. One night, without a word of warning, he fitted back to Urbana, H., where he has been in charge of, the University of Illinois athletics for years, and left Boston high and dry without manager.
 Huff found the directing of team of seasoned major leaguers too much for his sensitive soul. They chewed tobacco shamefully, used harsh and opprobiOus epithets toward themselves and the other team, and otherwise act ed in a rude and unchubby manner that made him long for the classic shades of Illini. When he in a gen. tlemanly manner suggested to MT. Ferris Or MT. Parent, or MT. Unglaub. in his best college manner, that they lay down a bunt or refuse to hit at the first ball pitched they responded derisively, not to say disdainfully, to the general effect: "Ah, gwan; what league did youse play in that you should be givin' orders? was in fast company before youse was a freshman and I guess I know what to do in a ball game
 This cold, repel1ent spirit on the part of his subordinates might have been checked the first day or two by a straight right to the jaw, followed by the immediate application of a bat to the cranium, as was the custom of Edward Barrow when players at tempted to get fresh with him, but the gentle George did not do it. He became convinced that his forte was

How1a Wild Horse Sucks.


 Rufus Steele, in Mustangs. Busters and Outlaws. of. the Nevada Wild Horse Country in the American Magazine, tells of the glorious sport of capturing and training wild horses. Busting is no sport for novice. Real busters are trained to the game from child hood. He writes,
 "A touch of the spur or flick of the quirt signals the start. His knowl- edge of what to do must be a heritage from his ancestors, for all horses do it, and all American wild horses are sprung from horses that once carried men. He pops down his head and levi tates straight heavenward. While he and you are high in the air he arches his back sand stiffens his body to iron rigidity. Thus he comes back to earth. The sensation to the rider is as if his spinal column had been struck by a pile driver. The impression is not analysed at the time, for the horse goes into the air again immediately He swings to right or left, or he changes ends completely while in the air, and you come down facing southward, whereas you were facing northward when you assembled"

Giants Lead In
 Batting Averages

The official batting averages of the National League show that the Giants led their league in batting. Close on the heels of McGraw's men came the lOWly Bostonese. The team average of the Brides of Gotham was .279s while the men from the Hub collectively hit .267 If Tenny's charges had few first-class boxmen they would cer- tainly make trouble for their oppon- ents.
 The older major league had twenty two men who reached the coveted 300 mark Hans Wagner was the real leader. The Flying Dutchman batted 1884. This is the eighth time the great Pirate slugger has led his league. He made his record figures in 1900, when he hit 1880. a
 Miller of Boston was but one per centage point behind Wagner and Chief Meyers was a single point below Miller. When the amount of work the Chief was forced to do is taken into consideration he batted marvellously well. He was in but two less games than the Pittsburgh shortstop. Fetch CT, Doyle and Wilson were the other 300 batters on the New York team. Mike Donlin hit for an average of .316.
 Schulte led in home runs with 23; Doyle in three baggers with 25, Konet- chy in two-baggers with 38. and Miller of Boston made the most hits, beating the ball to first 192 times. Sheckard of. the Cubs crossed the plate on 121 occasions, scoring more runs than any other man. Bescher stole 30 bases to 61 for Josh Devore. Lobert sacrificed himself for the good of his team 38 times. Brooklyn made fewer runs and hits than any other club and finished last in the team batting

a great blue and red welt, which was gradually swelling as he left the ring But it did not stop the young German from smiling a big smile as a ringing cheer rang out as a fitting close to the last round. Reyes, groggy and tired. had scored some great blows and had stopped more. He was out pointed and he hurriedly left the ring as soon as the bell closed the final bout.
 ''The battle waged from the start was one of the most savage seen in realized the great significance of the battle on their championship aspira- tions, and fought hard for the much coveted knockout. It was the first time Brown had ever engaged in a bout of over 10 rounds, and he met a foe worthy of his steel Brown had to extend himself to the limit to win and it is still 8 question whether Brown can carry the battle farther along the route and get the decision. He won his battle last night, but Reyes was strong at the finish Reyes showing in the earlier part of the fight however, was not heavy enough to give him even honors.
 Before entering the ring last night Reyes had already engaged in seven fights that have gone over ten rounds, his longest battle being eighteen rounds, when he fought and knocked out Kid Sullivan, in Savannah, Ga. He evidently met a different proposi- tion as not once was the 'Kayo' in danger"
