" the real ail-star team of the
league But the best players. ac-
cording to the averages, are there.
McAlHster. of Montgomery gets
the position of leading catcher be
cause OF his good batting and de
spite the fact that in fielding he
stands seventh among the regulars.
Seabough is second among the
catchers in batting and third in
fielding, so he Is entitled to the
other position, digger, really
good fielding catcher. is out on the
strength Cor rather weal>ness) Of a
ia batting average The once
highly touted Elliott is down to
.255 in batting and stands third
from last in fielding Haight, of
New Orleans. has pretty decent
marks. with a batting average of
.255 and a fielding Of .97S, which
puts him second in fielding.
7 OOKINCi over the infeld. It is a
Il pretty easy matter to pick
those entitled To positions. McGn-
vrsys good batting average gives
him first place among the first

fact that he is next to the worst
fielding first haseman in the league.

You can't figure anybody. else in,
however, for Sykes, who is leading
the regulars in fielding. is batting
only .235, and Agler, who is second
in fielding, is batting nowhere.
Wares Is out by himself among
the second basemen He leads the
second saCkers in both batting and
fielding Alperman is a good sec
ond, with a batting mark around
the two seventies and a fielding
record of .959
Almeida gets his position the
same as McGilvray does because
OF good batting and despite poor
fielding His smuggling mark is 800.

among the regulars. spencer of
New Orleans, has much more con-
sistent marks -.275 i'm batting and
$50 in fielding
Among the shortstops it is toss
up. HARRISON is leading the short
fielders In batting, with a heftv
mark but he Is next to the worst
fielding shortstop in the league
Balenti who is batting just behind
HARRISON, is fielding Just one posi-
tion better. Elberfeld is no star
al either batting or fielding. but
gets the position for lack of a bet

of Montgomery, is batting .S54 and
fielding "a thousand" But he has
been in only 80 games Welchonce

position. Stenele kicks in, despite
the fact that he stands fifteenth
among the regular felders of the
league, The only man who presses
him even close for a position is

WATTERSON AND WILSON TIC
GETHER ON THE TARIFF

In a recent issue of the Courier
Journal it's we'll informed editor on
the tariff and all its co-relating sub
ects, says:
IF we concede the principle of
protection we are lost Whether we
stop to argue it's constitutionality or
not, we shall never be able to sus-
tain ourselves against the claims and
tactics of protection without challeng-
ing its monstrous effrontery. No man
can be democrat and admit the
right of the government to levy and
collect taxes except for its own sup
port
No one familiar with the subject
will contradict Mr.. Watterson's state
ment.
1t is pleasant to know that he and
Governor Wilson are in perfect agree
ment along this essential feature OF
the democratic platform.
Governor Wilson, in his letter OF
acceptance, hits the nail on the head
when he says:
Our own clear conviction as dem
ocrats is, that in the last analysis the
only safe and legitimate object of tar
if duties, as of taxes of every other
kind, is to raise revenue for the sup
mort of tho crOvorur11ant
In his letter of acceptance he made
a stronger and more philosophical
presentation of the tariff than he had
ever done before.
He said that it was the dispenser
OF favors. 1t is no longer legal; that
it is not even business; it is politics
pure and simple. Ii is framed for the
purpose of keeping the rich and infu
entail manufacturers in good humor
1t is an endless chain system of IA
yors. 1t is not partnership with
the people and the government, but
with small groups OF manufacturers
1t is not sanctioned by law, and
shows that partnership with the gov
eminent is bad thing
In word, Woodrow Wilson, in his
letter of acceptance has done the
very thing the World said he would
not do. He laid the high cost of liv.
ing unequiyocally at the door of the
high tariff. He said, not in so many
words, but plainly and unequiyocally
that the only legitimate object of a
tariff law is for the purpose Of fur
nishing revenue for the support OF
government
Watterson and Wilson are hand-in,
glove on the tariff.
We rejoice,
