The National League fielding averages
for the season of 1913 show a number of
changes in the standing of players as
compared with the records of the pre-
vious year. konetchy of st. Louis moved
from fourth to first place. his average as
first baseman being .935 while Jake Dau-
bert of Brooklyn, who led the league in
1912, dropped to second place, four points
below konetchy. Among the second base

.077, ousted Egan of Cincinnati, whose
record of .972 Was one point less than
that of a year ago.

among the third basemen in 1912, was
ranked first this season with .974 Joe
Tinker of Cincinnati wrested first place

Pittsburgh. his percentage being 1868
against Wagner's .962. Tommy Leach of

Many golfers express feelings of regret

Strict Game Laws.

Wild ducks are making their appear
ance on the river in large numbers. in
spite of the fact that the warm, pleasant
weather of the past two or three days
is supposed to have the effect of keep

Capt. Carney Worrell, master OF the

this city reported having seen more
ducks in the reach on the Virginia side
of the river from For, Hunt wharf to
Little Hunting creek than in the past
several years. The birds were so thick.

MIGHTY FITTERS OF LAST
YEAR HAVE TAKEN SLIDE
Daubert, Low in 1912 Records, Leads National League
in 1913 While Zimmerman and
Chief" Meyers Slump

There is hardly anything more startling
than the shift in the batting averages of
the stars of the National League. With
the official count issued "a few days ago a
comparison of the performance of 1913
with the 1872 leaders becomes possible.
The real hitting leader of the National
is Jake Daubert, despite the fact that his
name comes third in the list. He played
in enough championship games to give
him a fair rating. The same holds for
Cravath, Niox, Tinker, Becker, thinner
man. Magee Wheat and Lobert. who are
nominated with Daubert for the first
ten" though Lobert actually is twenty
first in the list.
This year the Brooklyn first sacker
sports d percentage of $50. Last season
his mark was sos. Daubert, accordingly,
has improved his standing as has Crav-
ath. who follows him. The Philadelphia
slugger, who hit .341 in 1913. was way
down the list last year with Isl Viox,
then newcomer, was worse off. as the
Pirate has boosted his batting mark from
.1St to 81.
The cares of managing the Reds must
have made Joe Tinker want to hit some
thing, and he took it out on the ball.
Where he bumped the pill for but %.
as Cub, he hit .3l1 as Cincinnati S

leader. Becker, the next man up, was
way down the line in 1912 He hit .2A
as a Giant. but hammered the ball for
316 as d Red and a Phille.
The first of the last years leaders
to shove his head into view is Henie
Zimmerman. The great Cub kicker
led the league with .372 in 1912. In
1913 he could do no better than .313
Coupled with him is Chief Meyers of New
York, who slid from second place with
.35S to lowly sixteenth and .312 av
erage.
Sherwood Magec was absolutely con-
Sistent. Both seasons he batted for an
average of .5O6. while Zack Wheat of
Brooklyn was almost as true to form.
Last year he hit .:O.J, this year .3O1. Hans
Lobert was another who took big drop.
From 327 in 1911. he glded gracefully to
.3CO in 1912.
Some of the leaders of yesterday have
slid entirely out Of the 800 class. John
ME Evers dropped from .341 to .2SJ. Bill
Sweeney of the Braves dropped badly
from .:44 to .257. while Roger Bresna-
han col apsed completely. He fell from
3:::::; to Dds.
One of the most spectacular tumbles
was that of Jay Kirke of the Braves.
After batting $40 in 1G, games i'm 1912,
he dropped to .237. and thence completely

TO PICK SCENES FOR
GOLF TITLE CONTESTS
Delegates of United States As.
S0Ciati0n Have a List of
Courses in Hand.

NEW YORK, December 6.-When the
gather in annual session at the Waldorf
Astoria January they will have paced
! before them for their approval list OF
courses from which to select the scenes OF
action for the three cliampionships-ama-
teur. open and women's. An amendment To
section of the bylaws was decided upon
yesterday, when the necessary fifth vote
of the executive committee was received
by mail.
Robert c. Watson, president of the
United States Golf Association. stated
yesterday that this would simplify the
selection of the championship courses. 1t
was what practically happened last year.
when, as secretary of the association,
Watson wrote personal letters to a num-
ber of the active clubs. in which he took
them to task for not showing more 10y
atty to the national body by offering their
links.
AS the situation now stands, the eXecu-
tive committee will have to select three
courses for each championShip-nine il.
all. This list will be presented at the an
nual meeting. Doubtless the same keen
ness as last year to secure the plunls Will
mark the efforts of the delegates repre-
senting certain clubs. The chances are
that at Least one of the tournaments will
go west.
The Oakmont Country Club could have
had the amateur fixture for the asking
two years ago, but the Pittsburgh golf
ers said they preferred to wait until they
got their course up to championship
standard. There is little doubt that the
EkwanOk Country Club of Manchester,
VT, could have had this years anna
teur. II may be ready now. The amend
ed section q reads as follows:
THE amateur, open anu women's anna
teur championship tournaments shall
take place on the links of an active club,
in selecting which due consideration will
be given to accessibility, accommodations
and conditions of course. 1t shall be de-
termined at the annual meeting each
year over which links the championships
prizes shall be contended for that year
The executive committee shall, before the
time for the annual meeting. formulate a
list of at least three courses which it
considers suitable for holding each of the
three championships, namely, the anna
teur. open and women's events, and shall
secure from each club the name of which
appears on the list it's consent to hold
championship. provided same is award
ed It,
The list shall be presented at the
annual meeting, and the selection of
the courses over which the champion
ships for the year shall be contended

country from Cuba on the steamship
Esperanza yesterday afternoon.
Daubert led the Superbas on a barn
storming trip through the island and de-
clared that the Cubans were the most en-
thusiastic base ball fans he had ever met
The players went at the game as il the
fate of the nation depended on fielding
the ball sharply or pulling down a hard
hit fly. They gloated over a victory but
were good losers.
The fans in the bieachers rooted their
heads OFF at every game. and if beaten
would yell in Spanish. Wait until tomor-

The Superbas played fifteen games in
Cuba and lost five. Three of these We're
dropped to the Havana nine and two to

trip was a great success. and intimated
that the team would go south again next
winter.
He refused to discuss the selection "f

CONTINENTALS WOULD PUT
DAVIS CUP ON THE SHELF
Lively Times Promised When International Lawn
Tennis Federation Meets in
New York.

of the rules proposed by the 1nterna
tional Federation further complicated the
matter, 50 that the United States would
be left to play by itself.
Now that the Britons have become alive
to the situation, it is likely that at the
meeting in London it will repudiate the
effort of the federation to esta blisf
worlds championships.
Grounds of Objection.
AS is pointed out in the English official
bulletin, which reached this country Sun
day:
"A federation of governing bodies
should concern itself exclusively with the
revision and maintenance of uniform
laws. Our objection to the institution OF
worlds championship meetings, as we
endeavored to make clear last week, was
based on three grounds:
"First-Such a title is only adopted in
professionalism sport. and it's association
with championship meetings organized for
amateurs is derogatory
'Second-Without Americas S direct SYM
pathy with and approval of all the clauses
in the international agreement, fedora
tion established in Europe cannot claim
to act I'm this matter for the world.
Third-The rank and file of this coun-
try has not yet been consulted at gen.
eral meeting on the propriety of the new
principles approved by the councils dele
gates at Paris last March and since criti-
cised in many quarters
Those who are directing the affairs of
the International Federation have insinu-
ated that the flying trip which Robert D.
Wrenn, president of the American asSO-
citation. made to Wimbledon last July to
witness the finals of the Davis cup
matches. has had something to do with
the change in the English attitude. The
bold statement is made: LAS for Amer
lea, the reason for the great republic s
abstention from the International Fedora
tion is not that the amateur definition. in
Guiding the granting of expenses, is too
loose. but that it Is too rigid. In Amer
lea. provided man does not make a
profit from the playing or pursuit of the
game and obeys the other rules, he is an
