Jimmy Braid originally found the game

In eight of these seventeen years. 1900,
1909. 1904. 1906. 1867. 1905 1909 and 1911,
he led the league in batting. The one
big disappointment Of Honus' life is tina:
he never won an average over the magi-
cal 100 mark.
There is no ball player with chance
to equal Wagner's record. unless it be
Cobb and possibly Collins Cobb has eight
consecutive campaigns to his credit
where he batted over 300. and Collins
five. Cobb is now twentyseven. and If
he sticks in the game for nine more years
and continues at his phenomenal clip, he
can tie Wagner and possibly beat him.
Collins is twenty six. and he must bat
bettef than 800 for the next eleven years
to tie WAGNER

NEW YORK. December 3l.-Honus
Wagner, mighty slugger of the Pirates,
has reached the sunset of his career, but
what a glorious sunset! The tough old
Teutonc bird is making it very hard for
coming generations BY pummeling the
pill for a .324 mark in 1912 Honus
smashed Cap Ansons classic record of
fifteen straight 800 averages.
However, Wagner was not satisfied, and
ran his list of 800 averages up another
notch last season. 1t was a narrow
squeak for the Flying Dutchman. but BY
just crawling under the 800 ropes he ran
his record up to seventeen consecutive
years in the 300 class, or two better than
the best previous record.
Can the German go another lap around
the old 800 track? He will be forty
years old next February, and at forty a
base ball performer is no longer a spring
chicken. The difference of one hit would
have knocked the phenomenal German
out of the 300 class last season.
Got Best of Close Ones.
Nobody begrudges Honus his seventeen
3O0s average, but he was perhaps the
only player who could have received a
300 batting average from his 1913 output
of bingles. In other words, his average
received just a little artificial respiration.
This does not mean that there was any
Juggling with Wagner's figures, but when
there was any doubt as to whether to
give Honus hit or fielder an error
Wagner always Won-
However, there is sentiment in base
ball the same as in any other business.

you are convinced it was a hit, though

would have received an error.
