Father Kellar is forty-eight years

entered the st. Louis University of
Medicine. After a year Father Kel.

Youngster Will Probably
Land in One of the
Big Leagues.

DETROIT. Mich, Jan 1.-Raymond
c'scotty'D Cameron. the Detroit boy.
who played with the champion Berlin
club, of the Canadian League. this sea-
son, fairly earned the title OF the Ty
Cobb, of that circuit. After viewing the
averages, one ceases to wonder why
''Scotty" was grabbed by the Athletics.
There is little doubt that Connie Mack
intends to watch the youngsters career
with the Baltimore orioles, to whom
he has been sold. II is not beyond the
range of possibilities that Cameron will
hold down a job in the big show before
many seasons. -
"Scotty" led the league in three de-
misunderstanding. baserunning, and
sacrifice hitting. He scored 50 runs,
stole IS bases, and advanced 80 men by
means of the sacrifice hit His batting
average was .3i1 for Io3 games, this be-
ing the highest percentage attained by
any player who participated IN a "cen-
tury" of contests. Ten doubles. three
triples, and tour home runs are found
among his hits. In total bases he was
second in the league, having lS1, while
Barry. Of Brantford. was at the top,
with Isl. 90.

Murray Says Barry Is
To Develop Into Best

NEW YORK. Jan. billy Murray.
Pittsburgh scout, predicts Jack Barry
will develop into the best shortstop
ever known.
Give Barry two more years and ne
will reach his top FORM" says Murray.
In my opinion Barry is the key to the
Athletics infield. That may seem funny
to some people, but that's the way
lock at it. Barry is always doing some
thing. He is always IN front Of the ball
and does the right thing at the right
time.
There's nothing fiashy about Barry's
style OF play. He covers all the ground
in sight without much fuss. The fans
fall for the acrobatic stun. but the
men on the inside knows which player
| is doing the best work. That is why
admire Barry and predict he will be the
leading shortstop. q"
Barry may not hit over .2h0 In a sea-
son, but that $50 average gets his ball
club more than half the, 800 hitters. In
tight game. with Barry up in a pinch,
the fans feel pretty sure Jack will de-

"rhe kind OF work they have done to

But Merkle had nothing on Kelly.

CONNIE MAY FIND
HIS MOUND STARS
WEAKER NEXT YEAR
Campaign Will Then Be
Fiereest in League
History. ..

While 1t seems to be generally con-
ceded that the Athletics will again win
the American League pennant next
year, attention Is called to the fate of
the Chicago Cubs, and, going still fur
ther back, to that Of the Boston Red
Sox. each of whom had prospects just
as bright as those Of the Athletics to-
day.
Back in 1904 the Red Sox had won
their second championship and accom-
plished the feat so easily that 1t did
not look possible for anything else in
the league to even come close to them.
But the grand old team that Jimmy
Collins had at the Hub simply went to
pieces and finished fifth, 1OS points be-
hind the Athletics, who had been in
fifth position the previous year.
In Bostons case, however, II was
a case Of the in and outfeld disintegrat-
ing. The pitchers held up fairly well,
but the players behind the hurlers faileu
to deliver the goods, most Of them be-
ing veterans who had seen their best
days.
Cubs More Recent.
A more recent example is that of
the Cubs. After winning the National
League pennant in 1906, on and 'Os, and
the worlds championship for the last
two years, 1t did not look as IL there
| was anything In the country that could
