Importance of Hitting.

That great offensive strength is of less
Importance than well-balanced team
work and effective pitching Is clearly
shown by the once great Chicago Cubs,
four times winners in the National
league.
In none OF its championship years did
Chicago have team percentage above
.265
ChIcago's next biggest team mark was
in 1906. when the team failed for figure
OF 1852 That season the Cubs lost the
worlds series TO the White Sox. who
didn't boast 300 hitter and who had a
team average OF only -22s.
The Cubs won their two worlds cham
pionships when they were at the lowest
ebb In their stIckwork. In 1907 when
they beat Detroit the first time, they did
not have 800 hitter and had a team
mark of only 250. In 1908. when they
walloped the Tigers a second time. Evers
was the only player in the 300 class and
the team as a whole hit for .249.

HOW TEAMS COMPARE
IN HITTING ABILITY
Famous Offensive Strength
of Athletics May Have
Slumped Since 1911.

Much has been typewriter and twit-
tered regarding the offensive strength
Of the Philadelphia Athletics. but only
By comparison with the championship
teams OF the past can a full appreciation
Of their battling ability be reached. says
Harry Williams in the LOS Angeles
Times.
The 1911 Athletics, with a team per-
centage Of .2e7. comprised the hardest
hitting combination since the Pittsburg
Pirates Of 1902. who put on their maui
Ing monocles for d mark Of .29s. The
Brooklyn club of 1899 was a hard-hitting
bunch. and finished the season with
team average OF .297.
The nearest approach to this mark In
the past ten years was by the Boston
Americans. who hit for .2s2 in 1903.
The offensive strength OF the Athletics
today. however, is hardly equal to
that displayed In 1911 when the Mack
men beat the Giants. That year Mack
had seven men in the 300 class, while
today there are but fve In that charmed
circle. Collins is now hitting 1886 as
against .s65 In 1911. but Baker and
McInnis are now rapping the ball harder
than they were two years ago; or 1t may
be more correct to say. with greater fire.
