RUN MAKING FELL
OFF PAST SEASON.
Only One Team Able to Equal Its 1912
Record.

Major league ball clubs did not have
as much success making runs during
the 1918 campaign as they did in 1912.
Only one club increased its un-getting
powers over the season before.
The worlds champion Athletics were
the only ones able to turn the trick.
All the others fell short of the 1912
mark by gOodly margin.
In the National league the Cardinals
were last in the league pennant race
and also in run making. Miller Hug
gins crew counted 52S tallies in 153
battles, an average of 3.5 per contest.
Thanks to the White SoX, the Browns
did not land last in the American
league. The Sox had the weakest scor-
ing machine of any club, but just the
same they finished in fifth place. AL
though they counted 40 less talhes
than the Browns, The Browns aver
aged 33 per game, while the Sox had
80.
Both st. Louis teams fell below their
1912 marks with the Cardinals being
the worst sufferers. In 1912 the Ma
tionaI league club counted an average
of 4.3 tallies per battle, while last year
it was only So. The Browns dropped
from 3.5 the year before to So
The sluggers OF Connie Mack made

ing the 1913 campaign. and when the
season wound up they had counted 161
more TALES than the Maps. their near

Connie MackS men stood out head and
shoulders above all the other clubs
when the final battle of the campaign
was played, Maek's men counted an
average of az tallies per game, while
the year before it was 81. Their total
of runs was 794.

HUNTING CASUALTIES
DURING 1918 SEASON.
Fifty Seven Deaths in Michigan and
Wisconsin-Totai Deaths 1876.

The Chicago Tribune has sompiled
and published a list of casualties in
the woods which happened during the
hunting season this fall in all states
SO far as they were obtainable. Alaska
and Ontario are also included. The re-
suit is death toll of 1876, with 125 in
juries, which includes minor wounds.
Thirty seven lost their lives by care
less handling of their guns, and the
deadly companion" was as usual re-
sponsible for the loss Of many lives.
Massachusetts does not figure with
any fatalities and has only eight in
juries listed, but Michigan and Wis
consin have most startling records
with % deaths and 16 injuries in the
former state and 20 deaths and 27 in
juries in the latter, Maine Is charged
with l. deaths and so injuries, which
is nearly half of the total injured list
for all the states, with double figures
in fatalities, the total reaching 10.
How far legislation can minimize the
casualties of the woods is a problem,
for it is said that not a state in the
union has more stringent laws in re-
gard to the use of firearms than Michi-
gan. Then, too, the percentage of
