New York, Dec. IA comparison
of the official batting averages of the
National League for the esasons of
1913 and 1914 develops some interest
ing and puzzling features. Including
all those players who participated. in
any manner, in fifteen or more games
each season, the roster for this year
shows lSS names against 1S3 twelve
months ago. Notwithstanding this in
crease in the total number of batters
enrolled in the records, but fifteen of
the 1914 hitters hammered their way
into the 800 or better ranks, while in
1913 the select list included twenty
three names.
When these lists are again reduced
by eliminating all those players who
did not participate in at least fifty
games or approximately on-third of
the season, the record shows that four
teen batters qualified in 1913 to nine
this season. OF this number but four,
Daubert, Becker, Wheat and Magee
appear in both lists. Whether the

DECREASE IN PAY
FOR STAR PLAYERS
Minor Leagues Can Have New Ma
terial at Small Cost Next
Season

Wedding out plans in all baseball
leagues, it is believed, will result in
throwing on the market next season
an army of players. This, according
to minor league hackers, will bring
about higher class games in the
smaller towns. What will become of
some of the players is a question.
Minor leagues, too, including the Tri-
State, have come out for a reduction
of salaries.
Players thrown out of jobs by rea-
son of limitations put on each club as
to numbers will have to take smaller
pay or get another sort of job. Re-
ferring to the surplus of players, the
Buffalo News says:
with this condition prevailing,
what will be the effect on salaries? :?
Like every other commodity, the law
of supply and demand will govern. An
overplus of players means reduction
in salaries. Very few players have
signed 1915 contracts. Aside from the
big league stars few have been ten
dered contracts and everything points
to a reason for this failure of the man
ayers of the clubs to urge their reserve
men to attach their signatures to
agreements for next season.
THAT almost every contract will be
made out at a less figure than it con-
tanned in 1914 seems almost assured
There is bound to be q lot of grum-
bling, but the baseball lmagnates really
will have the upper hand. Players
will be compelled to sign on the terms
submitted in most cases or lay idle for
the season. 1t is a notorious fact that
a large majority of the clubs lost
money last year and owners will be
none too willing to take long chances
again this year by paying big salaries.
So after all the competition which
seems to be prevalent at this time does
not auger so we'll for the workmen of
the game as one would be led to be-
lieve.'

Puzzling Batting Averages;
National Hitters on Decline
Men Famous at the Bat Last Year Failed to Repeat Their
Good Work W ith the Majors

ing 1914, was better than a year ago
or sort of sympathetic slump exist
ed in the National League it is impos-
sibie to state, but the fact remains
that a number of those who batted
their way into the 800 class in 1913
could not duplicate the feat during
the past summer.
Cravath, of the Philadelphia club,
hit .341 in 1918 and .29S in 1914. VioX,
of Pittsburgh, dropped from .317 10
.265; Zimmerman, of Chicago. from
.31S to .296; Chief Meyers, of New
York, from .312 to .2S6; Lobert, of
Philadelphia, from 900 to .275, and
Wagner, of Pittsburgh, from 800 to
.252. This was the first time since
1897 that Wagner dropped below 800.
but this was not surprising In the
case of Honus, for. like other batting
heroes of the past, Wagner was at last
forced to bow to the all powerful arm
of Father Time. For the period from
1897 to 1918, inclusive, Wagner had a
grand average of .S41. His highest
mark for $50, made in 1900, and his
loweres 800 made in 1913.

Dozen Significant Features in the
Performance of the unicc Entries

Performance of the Paige Entries.
The Seventh Annual Cactus Derby,
run recently from Los Angeles, Califor-
MIA, to Phoenix, Arizona. is still a
fruitful topic of conversation in the
automobile industry because of the ter
rife nature of the grind and the sem
sational events which accompanied it.
When dozen powerful and high priced
cars strew their wreckage along the
route of a road race it is apparent that
the event is far from being a joy ride.
Officials of the Paige Mtor Cor Com
pany are not only jubilant over the
fact that their two entries finished sec
ond and third respectively. but they
believe that the performance of these
cars demonstrates their merits in the
most convincing and spectacular man
ner imaginable.
Several features in connection with
the Paige cars stand out and can be
briefly summarized.
The Paige entries had seen consider
able service before the great race. One
had been a demonstrator in Los Ange-
les and the other had been used as a
route for this years Cactus Derby. on
the other hand, the Stutz car that won
nrst place in the race BY only thirty
-FOUR minutes was one that had been
especially manufactured for the In
dianapolis 50O-mile speed race. Twenty
cars started, only eight finished
But the most significant fact of all
was the performance of the Paige en-
tries on the last day OF the race. This
was the worst day-worse by far in
the vile nature of the roads covered
and in the character of the weather en-

countered Yet the Paige cars. in spite
of these conditions and the severity of
the work already done. made their best
showing on this day-better than THAT
of any other entries-and made the
fastest time OF all contestants between
Prescott and Phoenix. The third days
showing, therefore. is regarded as an
especially convincing demonstration of
the cars stamina, staunchness and re-
liability.
In view of the facts Just related
and that the event was not a one day
flash but a grind of 20 miles over the
most difficult and dangerous of noun
tain roads, IL Is apparent that second
and third positions in this race was an
achievement OF which any manufacture
er has license to feel proud.

the most powerful and impressive
talks on this subject that has been
heard in Anderson county in many a
day. Agriculture he stated, Ia one Of
the two g..at columns supporting the
structure Of the State, the other col
umn being education. BY means Of a
chart, the speaker splendidly illus
trated his talk and drove home the
truth OF every point In most con-
yincing manner. The columns "edu-
cation" and "agriculture." he stated,
are composed Of seven stones each,
the former being composed of the fol-
lowing stages: home education, reli-
gious education, public school, high
school, college. university and person
al experience. Corresponding with
these seven stones, he stated, the COL
umn designated agriculture" is conf
posed OF the following processes:
Drainage including proper terracing,
deep fall plowing. we'll prepared seed
bed. frequent shallow cultivation, seed
selection and seed breeding. winter
and summer legumes in crop rota-
ton and animal industry and mar
&eting. The first five of these process
es the speaker characterized as "soil
robbing" and the last two as "soil
building" In convincing manner he
showed how the farmers of this coun-
try have been soil robbers of the worst
type in their methods Of agriculture,
and then. he showed how by the last
tVo processes the soil could be built
up again and the farmers saved o
large proportion Of the cost of com
mercial fertilizers. Supported by the
two columns, education" and "agri-
culture" the. speaker stated, are the
following results in the order named !:
labor, manufacturing and mercantile
prosperity; commercial prosperity:
professional support; civic prosper
ity, which represents the State.
