BEST HITTING TEAMS
Championship Remnants Won by
 Good, Hard SIugging.
Batting Counts More in Long Run Than Team Work. Base Running or Inside Play-Some Few Ex-
 captions to the Rule.

Batting Is what wins pennants in spite of the fact that now and then some fan or baseball expert will argue that team work or base running or in- side play is the factor that counts more than base hits in the winning of games. The claim is frequently made that the best batting team often fin ishes behind teams in the pennant race that are not noted for their prow- ess with the bat
 Their argument has been good few times, but in the majority of cases the club that leads the league in bat ting also wins the blue ribbon. It can't be denied that the team that makes the most hits gets the chances to steal the most bases and otherwise takes chances that the weak batting teams cannot
 There are. of course, exceptions to the role The Athletics, winners of the American League pennant last season led all the other teams with a club batting average of .294 per cent The Giants, prospective win ners of the National League race led the league with an average of 271 per cent.
 In 1910 the Giants batted some seven points better than Chicago, yet the Cubs won the pennant On the other hand, the Athletics won out and led in batting also. In 1909 the bat ting leaders in the big leagues were nafrn3t npd I1ft4uh,,rN. bo n, pions. In 1908 Detroit had the best batting outfit in the America and won the bunting. but New York led the Chicago pennant winners at the bat.
 Detroit led both ways in 1907, but the champion Cubs were third by four points in the National League batting list. Back in 1'06 the Maps carried off the batting honors by a big margin, while the White Sox, who took off the championship, were absolutely last as hitters. the Maps finishing third The Cubs, however. led in victories and batting that season, only to lose the worlds series to the hitless wonders
 In 1905 the Athletics. second to the Maps in batting won the pennant and then lost the series to the Giants, who had led the National League batters
 This resume shows that in the last six years four American League pen nant winners have also led the league in batting, while in the National League three pennat winners have al- so been batting leaders, the cham pions twice being the runners.up in hitting.
