THE Dodo is extinct. The Mammoth
i no longer frolics through rugged wales.
The Dinosaurs has long since ceased his
pilgrmages across Montana's plains.
Only their bare. bleak bones, dug up
from age-old quarries, remain to tell us OF
prmordial life that will never be again.
Which reminds us-shouldn't the skele-
ton of the next 300 hitter that dies be
packed away in some natural history
museum. to sleep through the centuries
with the mummy of Rameses?
For the 300 hitter, the noblest specimen
OF the tribe, Is fast fading into twilight.
Within few years, at the present rate,
he will soon be tottering through the
grav-red dusk at the border of No Mans
Land.
No Pime
"Pifnc," YOU remark. land likewise
tut-tut The 300 hitter is far from being
extinct. He Is as plentiful as ever"
You, Fren2led Fanatic, are offering an
opinion Against this we counter with n
broadsde of facts. You have your fancy.
We have the figures. And since entirely
a matter of percentage figures. figures in
this case cannot lie.
Hence this Call to Arms before 1t Is too

had "a 800 men and the American League

of 1912
BY GRANTLAND RICE

In 1914 the National League had 400
hltters and the American League II. To
tai, 20.
In 1915 the National League had drop
ped to 300 hitters and the American
League to 8. Total, 49,
Foreboding Slump
Following the depth of the big drop
among those batting 800 or better:
1912 1914.........2o
1913..........26 1915....13
From "a 300 men in 1912 the n. L.
fell to in 1915.
From 20 in 1912 the A. L. dropped to
in the same four years
The preciptate decline in batting eyes
has been 70 per cent. in the last four
campaigns
At this rate, within the next few years
there will be no Batting Eye left capable
of focusing 800 target. Not a one.
Can you blame us for demanding the
Conservation of Our Natural Basehits?
Who will be the Clifford Pinchot of Swat?
The Great What-Is-It7
Cobb, you rise to remark. Is batting as
well as ever. But Cobb has come from
.42O in -Sl1 and 40 in 1912 to a trifie over
1850 in 1916 a slump of 90 points.
If Tyrus Raymond can lose so points,
how about the everyday normal mortal?
The answer? You are at liberty to frisk
US. We haven't a guess. The pitching
doesn't look any better. The balls, bats
and grounds are supposed to be the same.
The umpres are still calling 'em as
they see 'em. But month by month for
four years the 300 hitter has been gradu-
ally fading out as the batting eye wears a
blur.
