cured 147 Passes.
Previous Record Of 116 Was Held BY
Miller Husgins Of St. Louis-Pitch.
er Marquard Whitfield Largest
Number Of eatsmen. Il

Jimmy Sheckard of the Cubs was
the most patient waiter in the Ma.
tional league last season, according
to official statistics prepared and is.
sued by Secretary Heydler as a sort
of supplement to the conventional
averages. The Cub left fielder was
given 147 bases on balls in 156 games
last season., and that not only was
far ahead of any other player, but
outdid the previous walking record
of the league, held by Miller Higgins.
That was 116 passes in 151 games in
1910.
The generosity of National league
pitchers last season resulted in to.
tai of 4,279 bases on balls. st. Louis
pitchers were most liberal, issuing
592 free trips to first, but the Cub
hurlers were close behind them, with
a record of 5s5 passes issued. Gin.
cinnati was third with 578, and Brook
lyn was last with 425.
Besides Sheckard, who led the
Cubs, the best walters on each team
were Bates Of Cincinnati. 103; Hug.
gins Of st. Louis, SO; Knabe of Phil.
adelphia, "a; Devore of New York.
81; Sweeney Of Boston, u: Hummel
Of Brooklyn, Ct; Wagner and Byrne
of Pittsburgh, 67 each. Some OF
Wagner's passes were thrust upon
him.
National league pitchers struck out
total Of 4,79S batsmen during 1911.
Previously announced official dope
showed that Marquard of New York
whitfield the largest number of bats.

ers led the league in strike-outs with
total of 683 to their credit. St.
Louis pitchers came next with $50,
and Cub hurlers were third with 617.
The other totals were: Cincinnati,

583; Boston, 577: New York, SOC.
Marquard, therefore, came within six.

players who took part in 13O or more

hardest man to strike out. He was
set down on strikes only &c times.

played in 100 or more games.
Secretary Heydler introduced an.
other innovation in keeping records,
showing the number of times men
reached first base on errors. During
the season, 1,106 runners profited in
that way, according to his figures.
Boston was luckiest in that particu-
lar, having total of III men reach
lrst on errors by opponents. Phila-
delphia was second with 164, Pitts
burgh was next with 154, and Chicago
batsmen were unluckiest Of all. Only
129 Cubs were handed their lives at

American Girl Supreme.

The women seen in the German res
taurants, while better groomed and
better looking than the average Eng.
lish women, do not look anything like
as chic as they do in America. Their
clothes do not fit as we'll, and they
seem to not possess the air of conf.
dence or the vivacity and merriment
of the American women-they appear
to not be sure of themselves, not
wholly accustomed to the new life.
This contrast is very noticeable in
Berlin, and much more so in other
German cities. This is why pretty
up-to-date New York or Chicago girl
never fails to become the center Of
attraction in Germany, and Immediate
ly she enters restaurant she is the
cynosure of all eyes-National Food
