SHERWOOD MAGEE
TIMELY WITH HITS

Sherwood Aragee. of the Philliee the
latest addition to the ranks of the
worlds champion Boston team was
the timeliest hitter in the National
League last season, although he did
not lead the Tener organizations fn
batting. He drove in more runs than
any other player-1O1-and was the
only two in the century class. The
other man with three figure mark
was C;avvy 'Gravatl1. once Il member
Of the White Sox. Cravath Just reach
ed the hundred notch.
Travath led the National league in
lamnering home tallies In 1913. Zim-
lnerman in 1912, Schultz in 1911. Ma
gee in 1910 and Wagner in 1909, 1908,
and 1907. The highest water mark
tor batting in runs was set by Cravath
last year. 1t was 129.
The timeliest hitting team In the
National last season according to the
runs-batted-in statistics would have
Magee. Cravath and Wheat in the
outfield. Zimmerman, Miller Smith
and Schmidt in the infiedr and Cooper
and Meyers at battery.
Leader Magee started to make him
self unpopular with the pitchers as
soon AZ the season opened. He drove
in SIX runs on opening day against the
Giants. locating Rube Marqusrd for a
brace of homers. Zimmerman batted
in SIX runs in the passage at arms

NEW ONE ON EvERs.
,'ohnny's Pcnt-up Electricity Affects
Umpires' Watches.

Many baseball fans have noticed
that when an umpire pulls his watch
on johnny Evcrs the little second
baseman does not quit kicking, but
goes along just as if no time limit
had been put on his protests.
Many have laid this seeming te-
merity to the bravery Of Evers. but
there is apparently another reason.
If the following story from a. middle
western newspaper may be believed.
This is it:
Johnny Evers cannot keep a
watch going because his body is so
full of electricity. Evers has been
presented with several fine watches
and they will not keep time when he
carries them because of something in
his physical makeup which prevents
the timepiece from doing its job prop
erly."
Now, in kicking Evers gets az close
as possible to the umpire and being
more electrical in his moods of protest
than at any other time, he naturally
throws the watch of the official out of
kilter. In consequence the umpire
does not know whether he is fast or
slow. and cannot go by his watch even
when he takes H. out.

PACKEY never
MET CHAMPION
Touted as Peer of Them all
But Never Proved He
Was.

New York, Dec. 27.--The efforts
"Packey" Mcfarland and "Freddie"
Welsh for a ten-round bout to be held
at Madison Square Garden recall that
never has a boxer attained the height
for a championahipthat the Chicagoan
without at least havinga a chance to
fight for a champ onship. Rated as the
greatest boxer oEa1l time, Mcfarland
has met nearly all Of the best light,
weights, but not once has title been
the stake for which he has battled.,
Possibly this is true because In the
ten years he has been boxing. but one
against him. That was in his first
year in the game, hack in 1901. when
Dusty" Miller defeated him i'll five
rounds. But four times when decisions
have been given in bouts in which he
has been principal have the verdicts
been drawn. In making this statement
the many no DECISION bouts In which
he has taken part are not considered.
His record. however. Is not the. ex-
cuse champions have advanced for
steering clear Of his left jabs and right
crosses. His weight has been the chief
drawback. "Packey' has not been a
33 FOUNDER ringside for several yeras
1t is impossible for him to make that
weight ringside. And for several years
Packey' has not been able to make
13o pounds ringside and be strong
enough. to do himself justice. He is
and has been what might be called a
three o'clock lightweight"
"Packey'' is one Of those "inbe-
tweeners" He Is a few pounds over
the lightweight limit. and therefore
must necessarily be classified as
welterweight. Ever since Mike" Glib
bons developed into star the fans
have clamored for a meeting between
these two great boxers. II they. could
be brought together the. result should
be a nashy boxing exhibition.
However. just at present all cfforst
are being centered in a meeting be-
tween Mcfarland and Welsh, the light
weight champion. AS was the case
some days ago, one pound stands be-
tween these two luminaries, McFar-
| land is willing to make 1856 pounds at
3 O'Clock, but Welsh insists upon 1876
