Zim Leads in Batting = Safer and
Schultz Down in List


ting averages of the National league
explains in a measure the failure of
the Cubs to be pennant contenders
through the season Of 1914.
As team the West Siders swatted
for .245, thereby getting sixth posi-
ton, just back of st. Louis and just
ahead of the Reds. Brooklyn topped
the flight with 1853, and the worlds
champion Braves were fourth, push
ing out enough hits to compile a.
mark of PSI.
II. Zimmerman was top gun
among the regulars, registering. 1886.
Bob Fisher hit an even 300, but
ager Bresnahan fell in behind Tim
with .278 for 101 games and stole IA
bases.
There is bit of consolation in the
averages for the West Side fan who
looks ahead. Frank Schultz finished
the season with puny mark of .242
and Vic Safer tumbled woefully,
knocking only enough safeties to
give him percentage of .240.
NlSWHIS Lie past SOoSOtiS VI DOln
Safer and Schultz it is not unreason-
able to believe they will fall so low
during the 1915 campaign. Safer
never reached such poor station be-
fore and is a natural batter, capable
of boosting his mark at least 40
points 1t was Vic's failure to come
through in pinch which cost a few
games to the West Siders in the sea-.
son past.
With peppery, fighting manager
to spur him on in the future, Vic is
certain to boost his standing up
among the leaders, where he right
fully belongs. He hits a ball as hard
as any man in the old league and
combines this swatting power with
fieetness of foot that enables him to
beat out infeld Founders. Certainly

BASEBALL SPORTS OF ALL SORTS BOXING,
Beecher FaVorite In Go Tonight With
Tommy Gary

l.
No championship match is carded
for Milwaukee tonight, but Willie
Beecher, the sturdy New York light
weight, and Tommy Gary are certain
to put up a hot battle, full of real
fighting and free from some of the
stuff that characterizes the work of
champions in short matches.
Beecher is a favorite with New
York fight fans. By his gameness
and willingness to fight when called
on he has gained a following. New
York, however, is not a lucrative field
for Beecher right now. His good rec
ord is more of handicap than an
asset.
Welsh will not give him any of his
game and aspirants to the top rung
of the lightweight ladder do not care
to trade wallops with John Reisler's
boy. Beecher has busted more than
one dream of championship,
though he has never stood in the
spotlight of the crown himself.
Should Beecher decisiVely thrash
Gary tonight he will find plenty of
employment in western rings. The
lightweight crop in this vicinity is not
fiourishing and there is always room
for a good man. Beecher would make
a great practice man for Charlie
White to work on while waiting
around for Freddie Welsh to listen to
his flock of challenges.
Beecher, on the strength of his |
long string of eastern victories |
against good men, is the favorite to-
night.
Freddie Gilmore is having a hard
time breaking back into active fight |
ing. His match with Young Denny,
billed for tonight in Memphis, has
been cancelled because of an injury
to Denny's hand. A new date will |
he announced as soon as Denny re-
