An 11-year-old boy and yellow
mongrel dog are drifting to sea in
an oarless flat-bottom boat, or else
hole stove in its bow, or else have
persisted in the storm that is kicking
up high waves off the Coney Island
shore. The boy is Clinton Fox, who
lives in Coney Island. William Tay-
Tor, also of Coney Island, was found
unconscious on the beach yesterday
evening. When revived he said he
and Fox had found a rowboat in
Gravesends Bay and had rowed in it
around, Nortons Point. Just as they
were swinging out into the ocean a
big wave hit the boat and dashed it
against a bulwark throwing him OUT,
knocking a hole in the bow of the
craft, and washing away the oars.
The waves picked him up and cast
him ashore. The last he lsaw of the
boat, he said, it was drifting out to-
ward the open sea, with the Fox boy
and the dog in it.

Players Can Keep Up Batting
Star Hitters are Unable to Maintain Pace Set for Consec-
utive Season-Only Three Men in the American
League Repeat Good Work of 1911.

Have you eve stopped to think
how few players lead the batters in
their respective positions for two sea-
sons? Only three players who were
topnotchers in batting in their places
in the American league in 1911 again
led last season. They We're Tyrus Cobb,
who led the league in batting; Joe
jackson of the Maps. and Frank Bak-
er. the Athletics star third sacked.
These We're the only ones. who topped
their positions twice.
The uncertainty of baseball is shown
in these figures. Not that the players
who topped the batters in their posi-
tions are the best in the league, as
there are several players in the Amer
lean league, outside OF these. who are
better than the leading batters. But
his was the best batting team in the
league during the 1919 campaign. One
player who topped the swatters in his
position in 1911, was not even in the
league the last campaign.
ShOrtstOps are Weak.
Among the nine positions there il
only one in which the leader has failed
to hit 800. That was the shortstops'
place. Norman Elberfleld, who has
since departed to the minors. was the
leading hitter at short in 1911 with
.272, while Charley Wagner. the cap
tain mt star of the Red Sox topped
the hitters in That position last sea-

San Francisco. Cal.,. Dec. 9.-Willie

his opponents to make that poundage

rough work and mauling that Wolgast

a little tiger. To the thousands that
assembled at the ringside he proved
that he is a lightweight in every sense
of the word If weight standards, no
