did nothing in the scoring business.
In the opening inning the dusky play
ers attempted TO get gay. The first
man up hit safely, took two bases on
a sacrifice and then tried to steal
home. Bosk pegged him out at the
plate and the play took some of the
conceit out of the darkies. The only
Giant who got within striking dis
lance of third base during the re-
mainder of the game was Miller, who
was thrown out by McCrehan in the
sixth. The score:

SCHULTZ SHY
ON H0MERuNs
Claims Official Scorers Were
Not Able to Hold Their
Jobs

New York. Dec. 1s.-The p~ardonable
e%xultatiOn of Frank Schultz of the
Cubs, whose dynamic propulsion OF
the cork center spheroid enabled him
to run 3OS bases during the season Of
1911. is slightly tempered by his sus-
picion Of a plot to handicap him in his
attempt to equal or excel the heavy
clouting record Of Buck Freeman,
who. when n member Of h WASH
ington club in 1899, poled twenty-five
hits calling for four sacks each.
Schultz is credited in the official
one home runs, but he asserts it is
shy by eight bases Of his real achieve
ments. One of the missing homcrs
was made in Chicago. and. as several
thousand persons saw 1t at the time
the ball sailed ovcr the fence. Schultz
has reached tho conclusion that the
strayed or stolen four-sacker may
have been picked up by some ono.
In the case of the other four-base
blow. which was at the Polo grounds
last July. Schultz insists it vas kid
mapped by the official scorer of the
New York club. The drive wa to
right field and Schultz had no trouble
vance Of the bail. All the unofficial
scorers put the drive down as for four
bases. but they forgot to ask h off,
cial scorer how it appealed to him.
Judge Of their chagrin. therefore.
when on inspecting the Official score
they found that the hit on which the
Chicago clouter had made the circuit
was good for only n sack. Accord
ing to the official scorer. the Giant
right fielder got the ball mixed up
with the parallax OF the rising moon,
and thought he cav a parhelion In
stead Of an ordinary Spalding nine
and one-Quarter inches in circumfer-
ence and Weighing i've and one-quar-
tor ounces.
Schultz violently disagrees with the
diagnosis Of the New York official
scorer. and declares that the fielder
couldn't have got the ball with the
assistance Of o net, and hat it was
one Of the cleanest drives he ever
made.
Schultz adds that just because he
Is = member Of the Chicago team is
no q why he should be deprived
by tho New York official score Of a
home run that he needs in his bust
ness.
Schultz made q remarkable record
last season in the matter Of long hits.
having thirty doubles twenty-one
triples and twenty-one horners CON-
cially incorrectly AS a matter Of fact
he should have twentv-three homers.
and his total bases should be BIG, in
stead Of sos. He was therefore just
two home runs shy Of the Freeman
record.

Baseball Critics Say WASH

Among baseball men George Nc
Bride of the Washington club has the
reputation of being the best inficlder
In the country when it comes to touch
ing base runners with the ball.
This is n failing which most Soc
ond basemen and shortstops have. and
there could be no greater weakness.
for 1t not only makes base running
easier. but 1t has Il detrimental effect
on the catchers.
Infielders who lack the ability to
touch rune often lose base ~stealers
on perfect throws from the catchers,
and 1t is hard to figure how great a
handicap it is to a team when this
happens.
70 Perfection.
Mcbride. however. has the play
down to perfection. No matter where
the ball is thrown. he always gets it
markahle. is the fact that he has
never been seriously injured in his
four years in Washington. Mcbride,
barring one season when he missed
the first two games because Of illness,
hcs played in every schedule game for
the Nationals.
In this respect he leads all infcld-
ers IN The country. for with base rum

With a man on first and third, the
