HOOPER, HOMERS
PUT OLD DOPE ON
HOSPITAL SQUAD
Makes as Many Home Runs in
Two Games as He Made All
SeaSon-Cravath'S a
Different Story.
BY Frank &. Menke.

NEW YORK. oct 2O.-What do
pre-series statistics amount 10 any
way in doping out a world series con-
hict?
Harry Hooper made only two home
runs during the entire 1915 playing
season-an average OF about one
home run in every rs games. And
there in that fifth game OF the Phillle-
Red Sox battling. Hooper banged out
two circuit swats.
Cactus" Cravath was figured as
one OF the greatest offensive factors
in the Phillie play. Hadn't CraVath
whanged out "a homes; hadn't he
averaged one hit in every four times
at bat throughout the season? Sure,
he had
Well the smuggling" Cravath made
exactly two hits in the entire hVe
games, finishing with an average or
.125.
The Great Alex Failed.
Alexander was looked upon as the
bulwark OF the Phillies defense. Every
bit of dope" was to the effect that
he would stem the Red SoX onslaught.
But Alex failed. Those Red Sox
dubbed him with much gusto in the
first game, and beat him in the third.
Alexander got his chance to become
a hero-and Alex failed.
Many explanations have been Of
fered for the downfall of the Phillies,
but what better one is there than is
shown in these figures:
Games ABB II. AVE.
Cravath .......5 Is .125
Whitted ....5 Is .O67
Niehof 5 Is .067
The batting record Of that trio Of
regulars was the biggest surprise of
the series. Those three men were
counted upon as among the timeliest
hitters on the Phillies' rooster-as the
men who would deliver in a pinch.
Yet the grand batting average of that
trio was 0S6.
Dope. after all. is nothing but dope.
And it's very unsafe stuff TO use
as a foundation for world series pre-
dictions.
Baker is Unhappy.
One of the unhappiest men in all
these United States is William +. Ba-
ker, owner of the Phillies. He's un-
happy. of course, because the Phillies
lost. but his cup Of sorrow is filled to
over-fowing every time he thinks OF
those bleacher seats that he built in
his park-the seats that enabled the
Red Sox to win that fifth game. thus
preventing a sixth battle in Boston.
that would have meant at least S40.-
600 for Baker and an equal amount
for Joe Lannin, owner Of the Red
SoX.
