4! few are formulted in the etiquette
Of Golf, but it is impossible to publish
a complete code of good conduct for
tfc course.
A player recently lost close COM
petitiye match through his attention
being distracted from short APP
proach by the clatter made by his OPP
ponent in picking up his clubs. 1T had
not been done with that purpose, of
course, and the loser fcouR make no
claim, but his unimaginatise compan.
ior would have been surprised to
learn that he owed his victory main
ly to his own .carelessness. = ~
Some such reminders as the follow
ing might be added to the etiquette of
the game for the education of thick
skinned, self-centered players who are
occasionally encountered on the link:
Don't advertise a good drive by
striking attitudes on the tee. Your
match play opponent is not the least
lit Interested to hear that you are
two above fours' at the turn, OF

appeal to the generosity of your OPP
ponent by plaintively enquiring:

If your man is off his game, don't
ask What did you say is your handi-
cap?" :. 49,. .. .5.....:.
Many such maxims will occur to
thoughtful and considerate golfers.
Each man plays for himself, it is
true, but he must constantly care for
the interests of others or he viii he

course is an admirable finishing

WAGNER SETSNEW
RECORD At
BAT

Tyrus Cobb, who this year leads
the American League batsmen for the
sixth year in succession, has an ex-
eellent chance of eqnalling the great
record made by Hans Wagner, who
has led the National League batters
eight times since he Joined the
Louisville Club. in 1897. In 1911 Wag-
ner finished behind Kirke and Jack
son, who took part in 20 and 80
games respectively. but was given
the credit of being the real batting
leader
But Wagner has established an
other record that many baseball men
think will stand forever. He has just
finished his sixteenth consecutive
season as a 800 per cent batter In the
major leagues. Unofficial averages
tor 1912 give Wagner .326 per cent.
The official figures will not vary
many points. Pop Arson of the old
Chicago White Sox batted 800 per
cent for fifteen consecutive years and
held the record Wagner has just
smashed.
Only seven players besides Wagner
have batted 800 or better for ten or
more years in succession in the last
thirty years. Hundreds have played
the game in that time Arson bat
ted 300 fifteen consecutive years;
Dan Brouthers. fourteen; Willie Keel
er, thirteen; Ed. Delahanty and Joe
Kelly, eleven each; Hugh Duffy, Jesse
Burkett and Napoleon Lajole ten
years each
Before Wagner entered the Ma
tiOnal League he led the Atlantic
League. batting .379 with the Pater-
son IN. J.) club in 1896. Counting
his first season, played outside the
majors, he has batted over 800 sew
enteen consecutive years.
Wagner's smallest average was
.305. in 1898, with Louisville. His
best average was $50 in 1900, the
first year he played at Pittsburgh.
Wagner has played in 2.169 major
league games. He has been at bat
S.23$ times, made 2,S49 hits, scored
1902 runs and stolen 63S bases.
The Flying Dutchman has averaged
.342 for each of his sixteen years in
the majors.

THROWS CORK LEG
OVER HOME PLATE
FOR WINNING RUN

When Albert Billings kicked his

Then the last baseball game Of the
season broke up in a row. However.
Umpire Jerry Carter consulted the
rule book. declared that there was no
precedent. and held to his decision
When the teams lined up for play
1t was found that one team was shy

anteered and the first thing he did
was to knock two-bagger. He stole
third and started home when one OF
his teammates hit to shortstop. The

er. ten feet ahead OF the runner, the
cork leg flew off and crossed the
plate, while the owner of the leg
dropped TO the ground
The catcher stepped out and tagged
the prone figure. but the umpire was
watching closely and ruled that the
foot at the end of the cork leg touched
the base. The opposition team claim
ed that Billings was out because the
catcher tagged him before he crossed
the plate.

players, who, under the rules, s6are

games, which this year included the
eleven-inning tie score game, think
since tie score contests do not count
as victory or defeat for either team
they should not count as one of the
four games in which the payers share
ii the gate. 1t is an added revenue
for the club owners and national COM
mission and should be. they say, an
added revenue FOR the ball players.
On the other hand Chairman August
Hermann, OF tie national commission
thinks the ball players are getting en-
tirely too much out of the champion
ship series as it is. and has formulated
q plan to cut down their revenue to a
fat sum-S750 each for the members

the losers, dividing the balance of sle

ments goes to the contending players
