Airman's Death Plunge, Before
Movie Camera.

What hazards photoplay perform
ers take in their endeaver to furnish
realistic thrills for the film drama
is graphically illustrated in photo
graph reproduced in the May num-
Der of Popular Mechanics Magazine,
which shows an airman making a
fatal plunge to the earth before the
lens of a movie camera. Spectacu-
lar realism was wanted, and death
was the result. The scenario called
or the destruction of an acceptance
in mid-air, and for this a dummy
machine was used. The airman
was passing over the craft when
the explosion occurred and it is as
sumed that the force of the detona-
ton destroyed the equilibrium of
his machine. The photograph was
taken an instant after the dummy
plane was blown to pieces and shows
the other machine in the act of
fitting over at the beginning of its
300-foot dive to the earth which
ended in the death of the pilot.

Only One to Land Within
800 Class.

Turner Barber, the southpaw
rookie slugger from Winston-Salem,
has the honor of leading the Grif-
men with the bat for the season OF
1915, finishing thirteenth among the
leagues hitters and being the only
one Of his own team to land within
the charmed 300 list. Barber swat
ted for an averoge Of 1902 in twenty
games.
Chick Gandil, the big frstsacker,
was second to Barber and twenty
first in the league, with a mark OF
.291. Right on his heels, twenty-sec-
ond in the league list, comes Zeb
Milan, with a mark Of .28s. Kid
Jameson, the Buffalo recruit, TWEEN
ty-ninth on the list, was the fourth
best swatter for the Griffmen, hit
ting for .279, in seventeen games.
According to the official batting aver
ages, made public today. the Grhmen
finished NTH in team batting, with
mark Of .2u. Only seven Of them hit
for 80 or better and Of this number
Kopp and Jameson played in but few
games.
As q partial explanation for the fall
ure of the team to finish higher. 1t Is
noted that Dan Moeller hit for .2sS. Ray
Morgan for .233. Rippy williams for ~.
John Henry for 10, George Mcbrlde
for .2e4 and Eddie Ainsmith for 200.
Ty Cobb's official figures for 1915 are
$40 and he leads the base thieves with
finished with Cleveland, led in home
runs with seven. Bobby Veach, OF De-
troit. had the greatest number OF
doubles. no less than forty rippling of
his bat. Sam Crawford's nineteen
, triples gives him the leadership of that
| brigade.
Eddie Collins ll9 bases on balls IS the
best Of the year. though Ty Cobb, Bert
Shotton and DOME Bush each had lls
Johnny Lavan struck out eighty-thret
times, leading all the swingers.
Buck Weaver, the White Sox short

baseman, led the league with forty-twt
! sacrifice hits apiece.
| Eddie Foster. the Griffmen's midge
infelder. went to bat oftener than an!
