TTAVE you ever stopped to
II think how few players lead
the batters in their respect
i've positions for two seasons? Only
three players who were op-notchers
in batting in their places in the
American league in 1911 again led
last season. They were Tyrus Cobb.
who led the league in batting: Joe
Jackson, Of the Maps. and Frank
Baker, the Athletics star third
sacker. These were 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 positions are the best in
the league, as there are several
players in the American league out
side of these who are better than
the leading batters. But this.was
the best batting team in the league
during the 1912 campaign. One
player who topped the swatters in
in the league the last season.
Scoops" Borton the star first
sacker of the White Sox, who is
picked by many to be one of the
leading first sackers in the national
pastime next season, was the star
hitter among the first sackers in
1912. He batted 81 in the latter
part Of the season. Jack McInnis
Of the Athletics. the smallest initial
station guardian in baseball. led in
1911 with .321.
Carl Cashion, the pitcher for the
Senators, whom Clark Griffith tried
to convert into an outiielder at the
start OF last season. led the hurlers
in 1911 with a great batting mark
of 1874 Joe Wood was the leader
last season with ,290. which is a
very creditable mark for pitcher
who takes part in about 40 games.
That the best players in the
league are not always the best in
the position is shown in the catch
ers, oscar Stanage of the Tigers
who is the best mask and pad man
in the Junior league, never came
close to hitting we'll Jack Lam
led in 1911, while Ted Easterly. who
PLAYED half the season with the
Maps and the other half with the
White SoX, topped the stickers in
1912. Both batted above the 800

Dixie Pitching Averages Are Stupidest in World

Gently proposed by a New York man
in Sporting News, as follows:
Taking up the subject Of sys-
TEN Of averages for pitchers that
will 90 the twirlers as near exact
Justice as is possible and give the
fans an idea OF their true worth,
Henry Harwich Of New York, Of
fers n suggestion and presents a
few figures to show how It works
out Harwichs idea is that the
percentage Of runs allowed by a
pitcher should be balanced with
team fielding average, the idea
being thus to reach basis Of runs
FOR which the pitcher is really re-
sponsible.
one fault that may be found with
this system at the outset Is that
Harwich uses the seasons field
ing average of the team 10 reach
his basis of run for which Il given
pitcher is responsible, It must
occur to him on second thought
that the team has not felded at
me same per cent hchind each
pitcher Therefore, if his work is
to be carried out to an exact
science Il would be necessary to
take the fielding done behind each
pitcher in each game, or even
part of a game in which a pitcher
worked
The Harwich letter:
Having read an article on pitch
ing averages, 1 thought over the
subject, and would like to sub
nit the following system OF grad
ing pitchers, according to their
rum preventing efficiency, which
would represent their true value to
the team. This system would take
into account the fielding average
Of the team behind that particular
pitcher.
Excluding errors. men get on
first base by safe hits, hit by
pitcher, and bases on balls, and a
certain percentage of them score.
Now. this percentage will be
greater or less. according TO the

Lavelle and Smith proved the
surprises-especially Smith, for La
velle has been preliminary card
here for months, and has always
made more than good.
No fighter coming to Atlanta has
improved as fast under the eyes Of
local fans as Lavelle. He sur
prised even his most ardent admir-
ers last night with his cool heady
milling and his lightning like
rights. He shaded Hanlon in every
round save the sixth. and in the
seventh and especially the eighth
he administered a lacing that would
have caved a smaller man.
Tommy showed a marked faculty
for opening up his opponent with a
straight left and for catching him
coming in with a hard right that
went either to the body or the
head. He fought best at long range,
outpointing Hanlon consistently. In
the in1ghting Hanlon's weight told,
but he did not shade Lavelle save
in the sixth round, when he rocked
Tommy's head with right and left
hooks.
Lavelle announced that he would

1000 per cent fielding behind him.
Taking Walter Johnson for an
example, we would compute his
efficiency thus, based on his rec
ord:
Number Of men reaching first
base while johnson is in box:
Hits 259 Hit batsmen 16. Bases
on balls IS, Total 351, reaching
first base through Johnson's
agency Divide this by number Of
runs scored on him. SO, and we
have .254, which would be the
percentage OF runs to men reach
ing first scored against Johnson.
Now, let us assume that every
cam fields l009. then all pitchers
would be equal in the matter of
fielding support behind them. If
this were the case we would mere
ly subtract 1854 from 1000, but
would have 954 less .254, or 700.
which would represent Johnsons
run preventing efficiency and true
value to his team According TO
this basis We have this grading:

FOOTBALL STARS
ON VANDERBILT
QUINTET

TIME Atlanta Athletic club win

season Saturday night, and
their opponents will be the Wander
bilt boys. who come highly touted.
All there is to say about the game
is that it will be a bearcat strug-
gle and some classy. speedy and
unheard Of stunts are sure to be
pulled off by both squads.
The Vanderbilt boys are out for
revenge, for the local lads put one
across on them in the game last
season. Atlanta won, but they will
clearly remember that they had to
go some to do ii.
Vardy is made up OF & bunch Of
celebrities, who have won for them
selves u name on the football grid

men to compose the team: Nelson,
captain; Enoch Brown, star end
and captain of 1913 team; Buddy
Morgan, the hefty center; Swafford.
the big guard, and Tom Brown, the
all-Southern tackle.
Vanderbilt has always been a
big drawing card in this neck OF
the woods, and victory over the
locals would mean heap to them.
The A. A. c. team has a record
Of three straight wins, and they
are going to work their blooming
necks Off to annex the fourth one.

By Sam Bell.

~ ERHAPS Walter Little, the
Chicago lightweight, who has
haunted local fight clubs for
nine months for an opportunity to
free himself from the odium of his
one time hasco with Terry Nelson,
deserves another try. after his start
at the Dixie Athletic club last night.
And again perhaps he doesn't.
But let It be SAID for Little, If he
displayed no especial brilliancy or
powerful punches he really didn't
have a chance. Frank McMahon.
his opponent, came to Atlanta with
bunch of newspaper clippings and
some flghting toys. If he had any
thing else it was not in evidence
last night. However, he had a crop
Of long hair, carefully parted in the
middle, which he seemed to cherish
a great deal.
Mcmahon was a whipped man
when he stepped out of his corner
in the first round. If he knew what
to do with his hands his heart
beats were too faint to awake re-
Spouse. Little sent him crashing to
the floor for the count of nine after
about two minutes of the first SEES
sion had gone, with a left to the
head that would have made a kid
like Spider Britt laugh. After that
McMahon hung on for dear life,
rarely taking a chance with Titles
rather wild but vicious haymakers.
Little Was No Marvel.
The best that can be said of the
mill is that it was an exemplary
stalling match. The worst that
can be said for Little is that he
failed to show any real disposition
to stow the Kansas City pug away
until the sixth round. Even in the
sixth McMahon's tell tale heart
helped Walter nightly with his
finishing touches, although Little
had sent in plenty of steam in the
fourth and fifth rounds, succeeding
in humping McMahon's right eye
badly, with a full-blue closing eff
feet.
McMahon's best tactic was the
good old hug. Of strategy he dis
played none. After the first round
he braced a little and in the third
showed his best He dared here to
exchange body punches close In
and surprised himself with coming
out of the clinches with an edge.
Perhaps this fact heartened Nc
Mahon a bit. for he took a fairly
large lacing in the fourth and fifth
and went down for the count after
a volley of right and left swings
which landed promiscuously in the
sixth. The blow he took his final
brodie on was a right that Little
banged on his ear. If he wasn't out
physically he was mentally, so he
was justified in staying down.
IF Little can forget 4 penchant
fer fancy stuff. and acquire q keen
er sense of direction for his rights
he viii doubtless come back to the
heart OF Atlanta fans.
