Playground mines on the West Side
Fairgrounds yesterday afternoon.
Mccarthy held his opponents hitless
and runless, while his teammates

played six games, five of which have
resulted In victories. The team is
scheduled to play one more game,
with Glenfield.

by heavy hitting on the part of the

handed an overwhelming defeat. the
senior representatives OF the Down

poor form displayed by them early in
the season has practically put them

ROCHESTER HERE FOR FINAL
SERIES OF WANING SEASON
Tigers and HuStlerS Have Broken Even in Games
Played to Date--Ed Gagnier on the Sick
List May Not Play Today.
TEAMS OPEN FIGHT WITH A DOUBLE HEADER

John Cancels Rochester Hustlers
are entrenched here for the final
Hustler Tiger series of the sea-
son in Newark. The teams have
played fifteen games, one of these
battles resulting in a draw which will
be played off today in a double
header. Each club had won seven
games previous to the opening of this
series. John Cancels men made
their strongest squirt for the penant
in June, when they climbed from the
second d--Ision up to second place.
Since that time the Ganzellites have
failed to show any consistency in a
squirt that would make them danger
GUS. Their best record for the sea-
son is nine straight victories-the
same number of consecutive wins
credited to the Tigers recently.
Gagnier on Sick List.
Eddie Gagnler, star shortstop of the
Bengals, was confined to his bed yes

he would be unable to play for some

ANNAPOLIS, Aug. 12.-The failure
of the representatives of the athletic

prevent the playing of this football
classic this year, although November
20 has been agreed upon as the date

representatives of the navy believe,
however, that an agreement will be

regularly in New York or alternate
between West Point and Annapolis,
while the navy representatives hold
that New York is too far from An
napolis and that the crowds would
swamp Annapolis or West Point.

ROCHESTER CLUB TO BE FARM FOR
THE CUBS OR PHILLIES NEXT YEAR

The news leaked out here today
that the Rochester Club, which ar
rived for a series with the Tigers,
has severed it's connections with the
New York American League Club.
That means that Frank Chance will
no longer farm his best players to
the Rochester Club. The Hustlers

Quinn and Williams, from the
Yankees this year Messrs. Chaplin
and Camel have two chances to
hook up with other major league
clubs. One of them is the Philadel-

Chicago Nationals.
Johnny Evers is said to be de-
sirious of affiliating with John Camel
and Charley Doom would not be adj
verse to using the Hustler camp as
a developing ground for his green re-
cruits. The split between the New
York American League Club and
the Rochester management is said to
have come over the New York-Jer-

formed this season. Only yesterday.

Wagner led the National League in
batting in 1900, 1903, 1904, 1905, 1907,
1908, 1909 and 1911. Strange as it may
seem Wagner has only once led the
shortstops' fielding figures, and that
during last season, with 1862.
In extra base hitting Wagner was
king in 1902, with 80 two-base hit
credits in 1904, with A; in 1906, with
3S; 1907, 3S; 1908, 30; 1909, with 80.
For three-base drives he has led
twice. In 1908 with 10 and In 1903
with 49, Hans has never had the
pleasure of being a home-run king.
However, he has been a leader at
bases. During 1902 he got
away with AZ: 1904 he led with So;
1907, with 81 1908. with SO.
Wagner's grand batting average
for sixteen years is .344. His grand
fielding averages are: Outfielder, four
year, .95S; third baseman, four years,
.944; first baseman, two years, 1853;
shortstop, twelve years, 1888.

LARRY AND HANS
Al WAYS RIVALS
Their Records Show Two
Stars Rose to Fame at
Same Time.
LAJOIE SHINES AS FIELDER

A comparison of Napoleon LaJoie's
and Honus Wagner's records is more
interesting than other comparisons
because of their length of service;
that both were top-notch infielders,
and that their debut and exit from
the game, takes place, so to speak, at
the same time. Both were stars from
the outset; now both are slowing
up and it Is doubtful that they will
appear in the line up of their respec-
tive clubs next year.
Their records for continual leader
ship will stand for years to come.
Their averages may be eclipsed; but
for their steady plugging along and
their consistent batting and fielding,
they rank as kings of their positions.
wagner was born in 1874; Lajoie in
1875. Lajoie entered fast company
IN 1896, Wagner appearing a year
later

true worth of each player:
