On August ~ Larry Laioie was
hitting 80 and was fourteenth
among the regulars in the American
League.
This morning Larry Is clouting
1852 and Is fourth in the list and all
because since August IL he has made
40 hits in 109 times at bat for an
average Of .450.
Larry Is certainly a baseball wond-
er. Since he has entered big league
baseball. which was in 1896, he has
failed 10 hit over 800 but once. his
second year as manager at Cleveland
He started the present season bad
ly. But he surely has made up for
il in the last month.
In the last 20 games played by his
club Larry has failed to hit safely
Just four times. Cashion, Collins,
Powell and White were the twirlers
who kept him from safeties.
Laioie is the greatest free swing
ing hitter that ever played the game
He has hit over 400 twice in his
career.
Pitching is rs per cent Of base
ball" says Frank ]. Navin, presi-
dent of the Detroit Baseball Club
That means that In looking up
material for next year Navins scouts
have been given especially emphatic
instructions, II they needed them, TO
watch out for the hurlers.
That means. too. that among the
men already purchased from minor
league clubs those who are doing the
hurling are being watched the most
closely. .t
And tho result of this watching
discloses the fact that it is a hard
proposition, indeed. TO buy a pitcher
and get him delivered from the min
ors to the major league club in good
shape Buy a pitcher from a small
club, the complaint Is. and he will
be worked to death before he is de-
livered.

Fargo apparently realizes the fact
that they will have to travel every

with Grand Forks. Reports from that
city tell of the Midgets working ove
time. The Fargo backfeld is touted
as being very fast. but it can hardly

should be a little tougher than the

the plan in Fargo. where live young

Duluth, Oct. 1O.-That the coming

test: Joe Carr of Minneapolis. whom
Walter Miller defeated q year agO last

of the bout.
Tom Scanlon of Cleveland, who has
Henry Gehring under his managerial

a meeting between the winner Of the
match and Gehring.
Scanlon also looks after the business
interests of the Cuban Wonder. who
still insists that he can make the mid

to be given the privilege of hooking up
with the mar who comes out the best.
Walter Willoughby of Mellen. Wis.
who Is considered an idol by the bust

and who is back by the Commercial
club of that village. and who has met
and defeated some Of the very best
wrestlers' in the world. Is another of
the really great wrestlers who wants
to secure Il contest with the winner of
the long awaited meeting between
Adamson and Miller.
In the ase of Adamson it is really

prove to the Duluth people hat he is
tho master of Miller. Should Miller
prove what he has declared in the past
that he Is the master OF Adamson.
there is n mar above all others in
the world that he wants to meet. This
man is Mike Yokel Of Salt Lake City.
The winner of the coming match
