Kindly give the batting and fielding
averages of Merkle, of the New York
Giants, and McInnes, of the Athletics,
for 1912
also wish to express my appre-
cha ton of the general intelligence and
"class' of your daily column, par
ticularly in reference to the cycle
racing game, and it is all the more
valuable at the present time, due to-
the fact that IL seems to be the only
one of its kind prompted by good
common sense, rather than by bias
and prejudice.
From my observations, ] should say
| that the Evening Star owes much to
the ~. P. NJ" column. HORACE.
Merkle batted 1903 for 129 games,
and in the same number of contests
| fielded for an average of $3.50. ranking
tenth among the National League
| first basemen. McInnis hit at a 1927
clip In 1853 games and fielded 1854 in
the same number of contests. He was
eleventh ON the list as a fielding first
sacker Thanks for your compliments.

| Why was Joe Peplowski farmed out
| by Hughey Jennings, and will he be
recalled by Detroit? A. G. B., JR.
! Jennings decided that Peplowski
needed more seasoning, and that the
best way for him to get it would be
with a minor league team, where he
could work regularly. instead of
warming the Detroit bench. Jennings
has a string attached to him and may
take the former Seton Hall star South
next spring. He was farmed to the
Lincoln (Neb) Club.
