What is the biggest score recorded

Spalding's record gives the greatest
number of runs in a National Leasue
game as So to Z, that being the score
In a Chicago-Louisville game IN 1897.
That would mean forty-three runs IN
the game. and probably is a record IN
modern major league ball.

Crayath a Marked Man.


the world series, Cravath is a most
DANGEROUS batsman. He entered the
event under q great handicap; he was
a. marked man. The Boston pitchers
were given to understand that if the
series was to be won Cravath vas one
of the men who had to be stopped.
Every time Cravath stepped to the
plate the Boston pitchers worked
with the greatest deliberation. Every
ball pitched to Cravath had every Dill
of stuff on it that Foster. Shore and
leonard had at their command. No
! cripples were served the demon swat
ter of the National League.
With the short right field fence
and the nearby bleachers in center
field. it was absolutely necessary that
Cravath be kept from getting his
healthy swing. In order to prevent
such a happening it was absolutely
necessary that the Boston pitchers
keep the a low on the inside or out
side. doubt if Cravath will ever be
called upon to face better pitching
and more perfect control. Not a ball
was pitched to Cravath in the three
games at Philadelphia that was six
inches higher than the knee. He man
aged to hit a low one on the inside
for two bases.
At Boston. where the outfelders had
all Kind of room. the pitchers kept
the ball a little higher and took a
nance. Only great work by. the Bos-
ton outfeld kept several drives from
going safe. At least two OF the drives
that were converted into outs at bos-
ton would have been easy home runs
at Philly. -
Cravath failed to hit in the big
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-01-09

while they expected Cravath and Lude
rus to do enough swatting to turn the
tide in their favor. Luderous lived up
to all expectations: of the regulars on
both teams he finished second, with an
average of .43S. Duffy Lewis, with a
mark six points better. was the only
PLAYER to top the Philly first baseman.
Alexander came through with a fifty
fifty performance. but the mighty Cra-
vath failed. Unlike Casey, he didn't
fan, but at the critical moment. with
the bases filed. he hit into a double
play.
I don't believe there was a thing the
matter with Cravath. He took his
healthy swings just as he did during
the season. but he couldn't get the ball
safe. The fact that V failed IN
the pig<series is no indication that he
is not a mighty %slugger. Other great
players have not been at their best in
the biz event. Take Ty Cobb. for in
stance. The wonderful Georgian never
ram. quite true to form in the Tigers
big events.
Base ball fans who ave seen Cobb
in action in a world series MY have
no idea of the greatness of that player.
The fans expected Crsvath to whale
the ball over the right field fence or
into the bleschers any time Philadel-
phia needed &. couple of runs to go into
the lead. Often during the season he
had turned the trick. They figured he
would surely repeat in the big series
The fates were against him. Instead OF
being the slugger hero he had to see
hat honor go to some other player
never figured in the running as a long
distance hitter. ] have reference to
Harry Hooper of the Boston Red Sox.
Cravath's hitting had been a feature

work had been a disappointment. The
Californian had been in a slump the
greater part of the year. Following the
custom, he came through in the pinch.

playing ball for W. seasons, yet he
has managed to connect with two pen

Nationals don't win the American
League flag in, 1916 his record will be
broken. A queer thing o the
luckine.s Of Charity in being asso-

notes about to be offered in the

The general feeling among business

that Great Britains finanial standing
remains so high that all classes OF

There has been a certain amount OF
criticism both in parliament and by

the criticism was based on the argu-

That women already enjoy the com

Their possession or the communal

The fact that Of all Scandinavian

cue to a variety Of causes. The Fin

| Buffalo, ~ Y, Nov. 29.-Through
Edward Stengel, sheriff of Erie coun-
ty, the prosecution today continued its
circumstanual case against John Ed
ward Teiper, charged with the mur-
der of his mother. Mrs. Agnes Teiper.
These points were brought out by
Sheriff stengel:
That Teiper's car. which he said
he had left broken down in the or
chard park road on the afternoon pre-
ccdinR the tragedy last January, was
started without any trouble the next
morning by mechanic, who merely
inserted a magnetic brush
That Teiper, when questioned by the
then district attorney, W. c, Dudley.
at first denied ownership Of the re-
volyer found near the scene of the
murder but later after the district
attorney had telephoned in Teiper's S
hearing, to the man who sold the re
volver. Teiper admitted that the pistol
was his.
That Teiper, guarded by the sheriff
at the funeral of his mother ana
brother Frederick, had manifested not
the slightest grief or emotion through
out the service or burial. Sheriff
Stengel also testified that the tool box
on Teipers roadster in which Teipor
told him he kept the revolver. was
tightly closed when the sheriff exam
ined the car after his arrival at the
murder scene. The box was between
two seats Of the roadster ana had a
cushion covering it. The cushion was
iammed tightly into place, the sheriff
said
The Jurors examined closely cuts in
the coat and shirt that Telper wore
on the night of the tragedy Sheriff
Stengel said that Teiper had called
his attention to these on the day after
the murder THAT fellow must have
had a knife pointing to the cuts
There was no scratch on Telper's arm
on the morning after the murder the
sheriff testified. The sheriff SAID the
district attorney showed Teiper the
revolver which had been found in a
field near the murder scene, Teiper
said that it was not his Mr. Dudley
