tional with .273; New York is second

.267 The American league as whole
averages .2T5, while the National has
.264. The high perceptags ein the
American league is due 10 the efforts
of such men as Cobb, Schmidt Craw-
ford and Collins, while the mainstays
of the National are Wagner, Schultz,
Luderus and Doyle. Forty-seven men
are polling over 800 in the American
league, while only % players in the
National are in the 800 crowd

The 1911 football season promises to
be one Of the brightest in the history
of the gridiron game. Fully 1000 i'm
portant games are scheduled through
out the country, and the game played
under the new rules, which make for
open play, will enjoy its usual popu-
larity from early in September until
the time when the championships are
decided late in November. One Of the
features of the intercollegiate schedule
is the game between Harvard and
Dr;n 4 In CT
met IA years ago, and the Tigers low
cred the Crimson colors, but the Har-
yard team is already dubbed champ
Pittsburg passed through the past sea-
son without being scored upon, will
have a hard tussle with the Notre
Dame eleven, likewise Cornell when
she tangles with Chicago and Michi-
gan.
If you were to question a fan as to
who Cornelius McGillicuddy was, he
would probably drop the information
that some one was looney, but Connie
Mack says that's his real name all
right.
Jim Smith, before his battle with
Sam Langford, had several trainers
leave him because they could not stand
his punches Langford evidently had
heard about his speciality to the body,
SO he prepared few sleep hooks that
seemed to always take effect on
Smith.
It's hard to tell whether the White
Sox and the Internationals are tied
for third place or for the bottom
There is little doubt, however, that in
the Is games yet to be played, one
Of these two will claim the BOBBY prize
for the rest Of the season.
Ross, the first sacker of the White |
Sox, always plays a good steady game,
but his specially is reaching way up
after the balls with just his big toe
with the cushion.
II Bresnahan had crew Of chuckers
who had good control, there is little |
doubt that he and his Cardinals would !
walk off with the National league |
rag so quick that neither the Cubs |
nor the Pirates could have a chance /
TO wake up. Sa1lee is the only one /
with any claim to control and he |
averages two bases on, balls every nine |
innings. Harmon, as effective as he /
has been, averages over three, and the |
est pass the batters much easier. A
he Cardinal pitchers have the goods /
with them, but they cannot deliver |
always at the proper time.
O'Toole is going back on his rep.
