Why the Richmond Fans
Think Ayers Will Make Good

Whit. meaning that Of all the batters
that faced him, 9.S per game have struck
out Figuring that an average Of thirty
batsmen faced him in each contest, one
out of three was retired on strikes.
Working on the same basis, thirty-siX
games. and thirty batsmen to the game,
l.OS0 have watched his slants, yet of thfs
vast number. only twenty-seven have
been given bases on balls, or .075 per
game. Figuring his control on the basis
Of total number of batsmen and total
number of bases on balls, his record
stands O26. In plain English, he gave
bases on balls to less than one man
game.
He has won twenty-eisht games out of
thirty-six, with a percentage of .0S. His
batting record is .2l1, and his fielding
81.
Looking over all of these facts, there
is little wonder that Richmond fans be-
lieve that he will make good in any COM
pany. Here is his record, unofficial, but
complied from official records:
Twenty-eight games won, eight games
lost, and two tied, a percentage of rs
He gave twenty-seven bases on balls
and has a total of 353 strike-outs. He
was at bat ninety-siX times during the

Dagger, and one three-hagger, and
crossed the rubber ten times He stole
two bases, made four sacrifice hits,
struck out twenty-ons times, and was
given five bases on balls, for an aver
age of nj.
In the field Ayres made fourteen put
outs seventy-eight assists, and made but
, three errors during the season. for a
fielding average Of -911.

SJeciaI 10 The Washington Herald
Richmomnd, Va. Sept. 1.-Richmond
has said goodbye" to Dr. Yancey
Wyatt Ayers. DR.. Ayres came to us
fiedging He leaves one of the most nm
ishsd products ever turned out of the
Virginia League, and this in spite OF
the fact that he has more to learn than
he has acquired. He has been two years
in professional baseball. His start was
a Joke: his exit is the cause for JOY
on the part of the opposing teams and
sorrow on the part of those who jour
neyed to the ball park only when DR..
Ayres' pitching was to be the attraction.
Or the 12:Ol train today DR.. Ayres will
journey to his new field of endeavor.
What he has accomplished here has gone
before him. They know his record in
the home of President Woodrow Wilson.
But some of the things they do not
know are the many times when this big
hulk of a man, Outwardly at least, but
a child at heart, was discouraged. when
he was ready to quit. but that a stout
heart and a spirit bred in the noun
tains and sustained by generations of
hardy mountaineer forbears kept him
at it.
He made good. In the final estimate
that's the test. He made good. and
those of us who admire pluck and cour-
age and willingness and a stout heart
will follow his career in the hig league
with the hope that his success has just
begun.
Ayres' record is unique. He has brok-
sn ali strike-out records for any league.
In thirty-six games pitched-not count
ing those in which he went in to help
out a comrade-he has caused 55S to

Silk 0'Loughlin And
His "Strike Tuh" Soon
To Leave the Diamond

Get your immortelles ready to decorate
the baseball grave Of that celebrated
''highwayman" Of the diamond, Francis
C"Silk'D o'Loughlin. This is the tip that
is going the rounds: That they are going
to bury him without obsequies at the
close of the current American League
season.
The Strike tub" Kid has played out
his string, they say. Opposition from
managers, players, club owners, and from
that final referee, the bleacherite, has
combined to dig a hole for the man who
was the biggest vaudeville hit of the
game.
When conservatives go on record
against o'Loughlin, the powers have to
sit up and take notice. Ban johnson
has been so besieged with complaints
against o'Loughlin that he is reported
weakening.
Players say that O'Loughlin is not only
astigmatic, but that he's stiff-necked, un-
fair, and lets the smart ones put things
over IN him.
OLoughlin broke into the big league
ten years ago, after a stormy career in
the minors. He was inexorable against
disputatious players. and ruled with an
iron hand. johnson was campaignin;
against rowdyism at the time and needed
just such lieutenant. So Silk was hired
more as a law and order official than
for his eyesight and judgment.

Joe Engel, with freshly won victories
over Boston and Philadelphia to his

/ in the final appearance this season of the
/ Yankees here. Opposed to Engel today
will more than likely be Ray Caldwell.
! Engel pitched a couple of innings Sat

at last and is taking baseball seriously.
| While the Nationals were in Boston
! two weeks ago, Jim McAleer, of the
Red SOx, handed out a boost for Grif-
/ nth. Said McAleer:
''Griff made good in Washington, where
fell down. He was able TO develop
| a good pitcher out of Bob Groom, some
/ thing l never could do, although I used
to lay awake nights trying TO figure out
( what was the matter with the tall fel-
| low.
When I left Washington l thought
| that the following season, 1872, would
see Groom in the minors. He could not
pitch winning ball for me, but 10 and
behold. Griff takes hold of MIN and BOP
develops into regular guy OHe "a lIi'i
mainstays OF the team. l don't know
how Grif did il, but he did"
| McAleer still has VAIN spot in his
heart for Washington. He follows the
destinies of the Nationals just about as
closely as he does the Red SoX, and has
never tired of telling Grih how glad he
| is that the Old Fox has been able to
| give the fans of the Capital a first
division ball club
While nothing definite has been set
| tied il is believed that the Nationals
will go to Cuba this fall for a series
of games against the best clubs on the
| island The matter is entirely up 10
| the Cuban promoters. Griff made GER
! tain demands, and il his terms are ac-
! cepted the club will make the trip.
| II is understood that the Old Fox
wants to carry fifteen men, and that
unless the money for this number is
| forthcoming he will not go.
The Athletics and Cleveland Maps
are idle today. so that the Griffmen
have a chance to cut down the lead
held by these clubs by one game, pro-
viding that the New Workers are made
to bite the dust.
On the other hand. we may lose-but
why talk of unpleasant things?

reputation for himself.
Ayers wears eyeglasses off the field
He is a big chap and said to have Won
derful control. plenty Of speed and good
curve. 1t is claimed for him that what
ever defect he may have in eyesight does
not bother him on the diamond, as he
can always locate the plate.
Hedgepeth is southpaw and Spen-
Ger an Outfielder, both of whom were
signed this year by Scout Mike Kahoe
and represent up to date all that Kahoe
has accomplished in his various trips
through the minors in search of talent

kahoe does not claim that either Hedge
peth or Spencer will set the American
League on fire. but he believes that they
stand a chance TO make good, and Grif-
nth will give them every opportunity TO
prove that they are classy enough to
stick around the big show
According to other American League
scouts who have looked over the various
Virginia League clubs, Hedgepeth is a
better pitcher than Ayers. Virginia
League records would seem to place
Hedgepeth and Ayers about on par.
Griffith intends to start them both in
championship games this fall in order to
get d correct line on their ability.
1t is possible that neither Ayers or
Hedgepeth will be able to do themselves
justice. for both have been worked to
death this summer by their respective
managers. and may be all in physi-
calIy.
At any rate. they Will he given a
