JAKE DAUBERT IS
LEADING BATSMAN
Brooklyn Player Tops National
League Players With
Mark of 500.

Chicago, Nov 3O.-Jake Daubert of
Brooklyn was champion batsman of
the National league this year, accord
ing to the official batting averages just
issued by Secretary John A. Heydler
of the veteran organization. Daubert's
swat average of .329 was excelled by
four players in that circuit, but none
of them took part in Is complete
games. consequently the Brooklyn first
baseman's record is easily best.
The Brooklyn team led the league in
composite batting with a team aver
age of .269, and that is explained by
the fact four Robins finished among
the first six regulars in swating. Be
sides Daubert they were Wheat, Dali
ton and Stengel, all of whom played in
more than 100 games.
Heine Zimmerman proved the best
sticker among the Cubs with mark
of .296 in 146 games. Bob Fisher show
ed up higher than the great Zim in
the list with a mark of 300 even, but
Bob played in only Is games. Manager
Bresnahan was second best of the
Cubs, who played the season through.
His average was .277 for 101 games.
Wilbur Good rung up .272 in 154
games. showing that he did not miss a
scrap all the year. Tom Leach pre-
scented an average of 1868 in 153
games.
The Cubs as a team batted only .243,
finishing sixth in the league in hitting,
and that is partially explained by the
low averages of Schultz and Saler,
usually swatsmen of greater prowess.
They batted only .242 and .240 respec-
lively. Sweeney was another former
slugger who slumped with the stick,
and his mark was only. 21S for the
season. While with Boston, Bill was
up close to the 300 mark usually.
The New York Giants were second !
in team batting and the worlds |
champion Braves ranked fourth in the |
matter of aggregate stick work. show
ing that pennants are not won by the |

Richie Directs Navy.

From a Rock Islanders point of
view the game had a special attrac-
ton. For three and one-half quarters
Swift Richie, a former high school star
directed the navy and did 1t in a fash
ion that brought praise. He played a
wonderful game. Entering the COM
bat in the middle of the period after
the cadets had scored IA he fought
valiantly to stave off defeat. His gen.
eralship was supreme. Too much can
not be said in praise of his work. He
was successor to Mitchell early in the
game.
The playing from a football point of
view was rather ragged at times, but
what was missing in skill and accu-
racy was more than balanced by the
vim and energy OF the fighting elev-
ems. In the early stages of the fray
fumbling was quite frequent, .especiai-
ly on the navy side. Twice in the
first quarter Quarterback Mitchell
dropped points on his own 30 yard
line which led to two army touch
downs. After the second offense he
was hurried to the side lines and a
substitute sent in.

two armored cars for transporting
troops. The rapid-fre guns are
mounted in such manner that they
can be swung and directed at any

the car behind the locomotive is a
coming tower, from which an officer
takes observations and directs the
