HAL CHASE MAKES
A GOOD SHOWING
Joe Tinker Falls Way Behind
Average Attained When He
Managed the Reds.

The official batting averages Of the
Federal League, which were made pub
lie yesterday, show that Benny Kauff,
of Indianapolis and an ex-Yankee, did
not win the honor of leading the
league without sharp struggle.
Kauff's mark was 1866, but Steve Evans,
of the Tip Tops, was right behind him
with an average of .355.
Evans just succeeded in nosing out
Hal Chase, Of the Buffalo Feds, who hit
for 1854 in seyenty-five games. Rousch,
of Indianapolis, and Yerkes, the former
member Of the Red Sox who is now
with the rebels, finished fourth, at 1888.
On the whole, the men from the Ma
tional and American leagues found the
going somewhat softer than in the
older organizations. This was particu-
larly true in the case of Evans, who
was not regarded as much of hitter
when he played with the Cardinals. 1t
is not possible, however, to draw up a
general indictment Of the pitching in
the Federal League, for there are in
stances of good hitters from the ma
jors who did poorly in the new organi-
cation. Joe Tinker, who hit above 800
in the year he managed the Reds,
achieved only 259 last year.
The averages of all batters who hit
above 900 are as follows:

just two points away from George Me-

move which made the Braves cham

Exploding a Pet Theory
on Fielding Averages
Steady, Hard Working Play.
er Worth a Dozen of
the Type of
Hal Chase.

A favorite thesis Of baseball players
is that fielding averages do not prove
anything. A manager in selecting a re-
cruit from the minor leagues is rather
particular as to what the busher hits,
but he cares next to nothing as to his
fielding average.
The popular example of the futility
Of fielding averages is Hal Chase. AS
is nearly always the case, chase was
we'll down in the list of American
League first basemen last year. The
explanation is frequently given that
man like Chase covers so much more
ground than the other first basemen
that he has greater opportunity to err.
There seems to be no comfort for these
theorists in the figures OF this year.
Chase played in 50 games and made 40
assists, but as poor a first baseman as
Fourier, of the White Sox, made rs IN
81 games. and Charlie Mullen, OF the
Yankees, made 81 in So games, while
Chick Gandil, of the Senators, had the
extraordinary number Of l43 assists IN
las games. Yet the errors OF Chase
and of Gandil were exactly the same, IL
each. As a matter of fact. the super
excellence of Chase as heldlng hrst
baseman is a delusion, based upon the
occasional extraordinary plays which
he makes, and not upon his work day IN
and day out.
George Stallings knows, however, that
man of the type Of Schmidt, VINO
makes few snowy plays, but is absolute
ly certain of his catch, as Chase is not,
is worth all the brilliant one-hand grab
bers in the game. To get back 10 the
more general aspects OF the worth OF
fielding averages as criterion OF play,
we find that the real leader OF the
American League second basemen is
Steve Yerkes. This may seem bit OF
an upset, but Yerkes did not play a full
season. First of the regulars was Eddie
CoIlins. and right behind him came
Blackburne and Boone, all of them ad-
mittedly fine felders. Some little may
be made OF the fact that Derill Pratt,
who handled more chances than any
other second baseman, finished next to
last. but Collins, who handled the next
greatest number, was first OF the reg
ulars.
The official batting averages OF the
Federal League show that Benny Kauf
was not only a slugger. but a perfect
whirlwind on the bases. The star out
fielder of the indianapolis club stole
seyenty-five bases last season, which
is one better than the record set by
Fritz Maisel in the American League.
OF course, Kauff got to base much
more frequently than the weak hitting
Yankee, and Maisel also was dealing
for the most part with catchers a great
deal better than those Of the Federal
League last season. But no one will
DENY that Kauff is fast. Hitter and
waiter, too, was Benny, coupled with a
batting average of 1866, built on 2l0
hits. He was passed to first seventy
one times.
Old Doc Crandall, Of the st. Louis
Feds. is not so much Of pitcher, but
he fully lived up to the hitting repu-
tation which he made with the Giants.
His test was a more extended one than
he ever received here, for he got into
lis games and hit for .312. There is
