Baseball Stars
Once Considered
Now No More Good

One of the many peculiarities OF
baseball crops up in Daubert being
considered by the automobile trophy
commissioners the player most valu-
able to his team in the National league
this year, for In 1907 the Brooklyn
captain was declared not sufficiently
competent to hold his berth with
Cleveland. This year he won the
prize. That same season Larry Doyle,
who won the prize last year. was
looked over by a scout for an Ameri-
can league club while he was playing
with Springfield. of the Three Eye
league and the scout advised against
his purchase
Doyle cost the Giants $4,000, which
was a record price for a minor league
!nfielder in 1907. Daubert was ac-
CURED by Brooklyn via the draft pro-
cess in 1910 for the cum of 1000, the
Giants also putting in a draft for him
and losing out in the draw. Sir Jacob
never was in danger of being sent
back to the minors after ne reached
by June, 1910. had been dubbed the
Hall Chase of the National league.
He failed to obtain membership in
the society OF the Three Hundred the
first year he was in the National
league, but in 1911 he hit at 3eT
clip. and in 1912 his record was sos.
THIS year Daubert has boosted his
stick credit TO $50, and there In a
possibility that he may be the batting
king in the organization in which he
plays.
In his first 1913 games this wear
Daubert procured 1875 safeties, eolhg
hitiess only in twenty-six controversies.
In each of fifty-six games he made
one hit; in each OF thirty-one. two:
In each OF thirteen, three: and In each
OF two. four. His largest afternoons
with the willow were on July 14th and
10th. On the first-named date he &C.
cured four hits in four times at the
bat off Pierce, Overall and Reulbach,
date he located Jimmy Lavender. of
the Bruins, for four smashes. batting
against him five times.
Daubert hit at .42S clip against
the Cardinals and az a .403 pace

Daubert has made only a dozen
errors this season and only once has
he committed two misplays In the
same contest. His hieAest days work
at the first corner was on April2sth,
when he carnd for twenty out of the
twenty-one chances that came his way.
On April 14th he obtained four as

Disastrous Wreck Occurs Near
Hinton, v. Va.

Hinton, w. Va, May 21.-Six Pc
sons are believed to have been killed
and number injured when Chesa
pedke e. Ohio train was swept down a
steep mountainside by landslide last
night. The train, composed of an
engine, three freight cars and a ca
boose, the latter carrying passen
gers, had been stopped between Sewell
and Landisburg so that debris deposit
ed by a cloudburst early in the day
might be cleared away. While this
work was in progress another slide
occurred and the train was thrown
from the tracks down 300 feet of the
mountain side.
Among the dead are James Walker,
of Hinton, travelling salesman, and
Mrs. Amick, of Landisburg. A young
girl is known to have been killed.
Three other passengers, all men,
known to have been aboard the ca
boose, have not been seen since the
accident and are believed to be deal
under the wreckage.
The train after leaving Sewell, en-
countered a number of small land
slides along the right-of-way Several
times it was necessary to clear away
debris before proceeding.
The slide that engulfed the train
and sent it rolling down the noun
tainside, in a tumbling mass of rock
earth, steel and timber, came without
warning. While the crew was work
ing to clear the track there was a ter
rife roar and before any one could
save themselves the crash came.
