are handed to Harvard on an AYE

It's the selection of the holders of
second and third places that affords
work for the coroners.
Forgetting scores and early season
defects, and judging solely from the
work of the teams in their last games
when they were fully developed and.
therefore, at their best, Yale and Dart
mouth appear to be neck and neck in
the East for second place.
West Points attack and defense
against Navy gives the Army eleven
better than a fighting chance TO occu-
py the third berth ahead of Cornell.
Princeton, Washington, Jeffer-
son, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
and Penn State were about even up
for the positions after Cornell and
West Point have been settled. The
possibilities afforded the stovv
leaguers in acting these five places
offer subject for an argument that
ought to last until the National
Leaguers meet here on December s,
to give the sporting experts a COM

DAUBERT retains
HONORS AS BATSNAN
Brooklyn First BaSeman
Again Tops National
League in Hitting
ONLY IS 800
CLASS HITTERS

Jake Daubert, the Brooklyn first
baseman, retained his title as the
champion batsman of the National
League during the reason of 1914,
according to the official averages
which have just been released. Dau-
bert led the league in 1913 with an
average of $50 for 139 games, and
the past season he toiled in 126
games and finished with an average
of 1923. Beales Becker, of the Phil
lies, was a very close second, with
an average Of 1926.
The hitting of the National League
this year was not as good as in 1913.
according to the averages, for there
were only Is players to finish in the
300 class, while last year there were
%. Sherwood Magee, of the Phillies,
has the honor of making the most
hits, getting a total of Ill. Last
year this honor went to "Gabby'
Cravath, who gathered 179. In addi-
tion to leading in hits. Magee made
more doubles than any other player
in the leagne, 80. Carey, OF Pitts
burgh, led in triples with II, while
Cravath topped the home-run hitters
with 10. equaling his mark Of last
year. when he also led the league.
George Burns. of New York, scored
the most runs. 100, and also led the
I base-stealers with 81 to his credit.
Lee Magee. of st. Louis, led in sacri-
| fee hits with 35.
The record of runs scored by all
the teams in the league shows some
interesting facts. More runs were
scored against the Phillies last sea-
son than any other team, their op-
ponents tallying 6S7. and Brooklyn
scored more runs against them than
any other team. The work OF the
St. Louis and Pittsburgh pitchers is
shown to be most effective. for these
teams allowed the least number OF
runs, $40. The New York Giants
we're the best scoring team, with a
total of 672. while Brooklyn led in
team hitting. with an average OF
269. The Giants we're second with
265 and the Phillies third with .263
The Boston Braves, who won the
worlds championship, finished fourth
with .251.

Can SHUGRUE WIN
FROM CHAMPION?
Jersey Lad and Freddie
Welsh Will Meet in Madi-
son Square Garden
WEIGHTS AGREED ON
BY BOTH MANAGERS

Is Freddie Welsh, the lightweight
champion of the world afraid OF Joe
Shugrue, the idol Of New Jersey boxing
fansg
II looks very much as if such was
the case when Welsh, after agreeing TO
meet the lad from the State made fam
Gus by Hoboken and mosquitoes, asked
that he be allowed to come into the
ring at catohweights, while shugrue
must make one hundred and thirty
three pounds. shugrue agreed to do
this in order to get chance TO box
Welsh, but Jimmy Thompson, manager
of the Jersey lad, called a halt and
said that he would talk over the situa-
tion with Harry Pollok, who handles the
Welsh interests.
Both managers met Friday and the
result is that the lads will 60 into the
ring under an agreement calling for
each TO weight in at one hundred and
thirty-fve pounds at 3 p m. on the
day of the battle, which will be staged
/ in Madison Square Garden on next
Wednesday night. The weights give
| Shugrue a chance, and his recent vic
tories prove that he is in the best Of
shape after his return from an Aus
tralian trip that virtually was a tri.
wnph.
There probably is no boxer who is
! better deserving of success than shug
rue. lie has made reputation foi
being one of the cleanest boys in the
ring. and on his return from his foreign
trip a few weeks ago he was ban
quoted by his friends in Jersey City
The event was marked by the atten
dance of many of the city's dignitaries
who said that the career of the boxer
was one that would aid the youth oi
any big city if it was followed.
Shugrue is not only a teetotler, but
| he frowns upon the use Of liquor by thl
young men who are proud of his friend
ship. so the only beverages at tho re
cent banquet in his honor were waite
and coffee. Smoking is as foreign 4
him as The taste of liquor and his man
illness and retiring disposition have wol
him thousands of admirers and friends
The Jersey lad is doubly doservin
of his friends. for he has been the sol
support Of his parents and seven young'
J brothers, his male parent being in
4, health for several years. Shugrue HI
saved his earnings IN the ring, and
now negotiating for the purchase OF
| home for his family.
; Shugrue's parents are descendants
the Irish race, from which Joe inherit
his strength, tenacity and courage. II
has engaged in more than 100 battle
and has never been knocked out No
: even clean knockdown has been score
against him and so per cent. of his vi,
tories have been won with a knockout
He is the best man Welsh has bee
matched with since Freddie won IN
title from Willie Ritche and il is need
less TO say he viii have thousands q
admirers roofing for him.
