ty-six men in seven games. An average
Of eleven strike-outs to a game Is some
tanning, and Harry is likely to upse
many A. A. records IL he maintains his
present clip.
| Lear, of Villanova. and Carroll. Of
Fordham. both of whom are infielders
will report to Manager Mack. OF the Ath-
Ietics. tomorrow. More collegians are
coming, and one Of Comics problems is

| wambsganns, who played an indiffer-
ent fielding game Friday. played beau
/ tiful game yesterday. He had six chances
to his credit. every one Of which was
difficult.
In the absence of Joe jackson on first,
Wood covered the bag nicely. He had
| thirteen putouts to his credit, several of
which he had to dig out of the dirt.
Ray Chapman had eight chances, max
ing an error on one. but he redeemed
himself in the fifth inning. Foster, first
grabbed it with his gloved hand while
running sideways toward left.
! Joe Jackson is popular in Washington.
In the ninth inning, with a man on third
he was sent in to hit for Harstat, and
was given the glad hand by the crowd.
Since 1885, when Bill LANCE, Of Anson's
Chicago club. stole an even 100 bases, no
| major league ball player has trampled
on the heels of that record. The nearest
any major Lacquer has come has been IS
bases. which were shared in 1872 by Clyde
Milan, Of the Washington club.
Ty Cobb's best se.stealing record is
So, made in 1911. He has led his league in
this department only three times-in 1907
with 49, in 1903 with Is. and in 1911.
This year he seems faster than ever be-
fore. In A games he has grabbed g
sacks. for an average Of So bases per
game. II he keeps on at that rate he will
end the eason's schedule Of 1a games
with IS stolen bases-just four short Of
Lange's mark, made 10 years ago, and
the best record since the installation of
the sacrifice hit in 1893.
In A games this year Cobb has stolen
only seven bases less than he stole in all
of the 81 games he played last year.
Through friends Dutch" Leonard is
urging Joseph ]. Lannin, president of the
Boston Red Sox. to trade him to some
other American League club. as he feels
that his recent differences with his en-
ployer make it practically impossible for
him to pitch his best ball at the Hub"
Sid Keener. of the St Louis Times. is
becoming a baseball optiruist. The Car
dinals and Cincinnati drew 1900 fans to
the double-header at st. Louis last Mon
day, and the size OF the crowd and the
enthusiasm displayed have caused Sid to
believe that interest is quickening In the
national pastime. 1t does begin to look
as though the worst was over for the
club owners. especially if the weather will
give the fans chance to thaw out and
the races for the pennants keep close.
But with signs of the fans coming
back to the Browns and the Cardinals,
Keener fails to see any encouragement
for the st. Louis Federals OF the lat
ter. Sid writes:
THE Federals? Well. there remains a
mystery with the third leaguers in our
locality. 1t just seems as II the fans will
not warm up to Fielder Jones' club. And !
why? The Feds have a clug that is 60
ing to cause some trouble in the thira |
league Fielder Jones has some dandy |
pitchers. and he is on the 800 mark
Barring their openig day. we believe
the Federals have been outdrawn in every
conflict with their organized baseball |
rivals here. On Saturday the Browns
were counted with some 5000 at SPORTS
mans Park. while it was 800 for the Feds.
and Sunday it was some 12,0O0 for Hedges
again and some 1000 for the Feds Then
Monday it was 1000 against some 1000
in favor Of the Cardinals"
For tomorrow's game Joe Boehling will
probably be on the mound for the Ma
tionals and Guy Morton is slated to OPP
pose the blonde southpaw.
