25 HOME RUNS TOP
NOTCH FOR BATTERS

~ VI two players in organized
- baseball succeeded in pound
ing out 20 home runs last sea-
son and both were minor leaguers.
Durham, of the Bay City club Of
the southern Michigan league was
the real leader, pounding out 20 cir
cult wallops in 102 games, while
Lejeune, of the Grand Rapids Cen
trail league club, secured the same
number of four sackers in 126
games.
A Chicago player, but not Frank
Schultz, topped the National league
in betting out the clouts that were
good for the circuit He was Heine
Zimmerman, who topped the bat
tiers in the senior body. Zim rap
ped out fourteen hits that were
good for the 300-foot circle.
Frank Schultz. the smuggling out
fielder of the Cubs, took an awful
drop in the home run hitting line
The season before Frank topped
the league with a record number
of four base knocks, but last year
ii was altogether different May
be the pitchers did not serve
Schultz the same kind of pitches,
or maybe Franks punch was not
there the same as it was in the
season foregoing.
Frank Baker, Athletic third
sacker who gained much fame for
himself in the 1911 worlds series
when he banged out two home runs
that won games for the Athletics,
topped the American league with
ten, which is not an overly great
amount
The International league was
topped by q former major league

By Senator j. J. Frawlev.

BY Senator j. j. Frawley
NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-The
~ public appears to have been
convinced that boxing as
conducted under the present law, is
a legitimate form of vigorous sport
and worthy the consideration of all
interested in the physical develop
ment of the race. My observation
of the conditions now prevailing in
boxing is that patrons of bouts,
and also those who do not patron
ize the contests, have reached the
conclusion that the sport is on a
solid basis and that under the ad-
ministration of the law by the state
athletic commission of New York
the public has become convinced
that boxing is not the brutal sport
that the so-called reformers would
have people think 1t is. The brutal
features that marred the game
hitherto have been eliminated and
boxing as whole now is less OBJ
jectionable on the score Of unnec-
sary roughness than any other form
of vigorous sport.
Having boxed for exercise and
recreation all my life, and having
an excellent idea as to the physical
demands of the game, | declare that
any man who is in good condition
can engage in a hard round

1909.
The year 1909 was notable for
two facts: /. Only one change was
made in managers; George Reed
succeeded Tom Fisher at Mobile.
,, Every manager lasted through
out the entire season something
that had not happened up to that
time.
1910.
The year 1910 was notable for
the reappointment of Otto Jordan
as Atlanta's manager. for the res
direction of Dobbs from the Sally
league to look out for the Chatta-
nooga team. which smashed back
into the league. Otherwise there
were no changes and all the man
ayers stuck out the season.
1911.
This year saw some shifts. John
Dobbs went over to Montgomery,
Bill Bernhard was shifted to Mem
phis and Bill Schwartz succeeded
him, While Bill Smith was brought
down from Buffalo to handle the
Chattanooga club. and Duckey
Holmes was given the Mobile billet.
Harry Swacina succeeded Holmes
when that worthy was canned. This
year was also the one when Atlanta
contracted the tail-end habit.

made in the league managers.

for the struggle for existence II
has come under my observation
that a man who is proficient in
boxing seldom uses natures weap-
ons in dispute until he. has first
tried to settle the matter in an
amicable manner.
l believe the time is at hand
when patrons of boxing bouts will
flock to see clever men perform
with the gloves and will shun the
sluggers. Personally, l will not 60

merely a contest of strength and
endurance. Let me know that cley-
er men like Britton, Mcfarland. At
tell, Driscoll. Gibbons and Others
are to appear and no one takes
keener delight than | do. All boy
ers can not, of course, be clever. but
the tendency is toward scientific
boxing all over the country, and in
time the man who can do nothing
except swing at an opponent and is
unable to defend himself from at
tack by side-stepping, duclling and
slipping will not be in demand,
Boxing Honorable Sport.
The boxer employs his physical
vigor. skill and courage to enable
him to make a living. which also is
true of the jockey, the ball player
the golfer and the instructor Box
ing is Just as honorable and repu-
table as any other branch of sport,
and the honest boxers and promo
tiers are entitled to just as much
public confidence and financial re-
ward as the honest ball players and
club owners.
L am sorry to see so many box
ing clubs. There are too many
small clubs The idea of the pro-
motors seems to be that the boxing
game is a Golconda of riches fog
them, but they have found that the
opposite is true.

be able to furnish all the boxing re-
quired by residents of any city. and
