DISPUTE OVER PLAYER
Giants Leader Claims Hoyt Is Prop
 crty of His Club-COmmissiOn Will
 Hear Case.

erty of His Club-Commission Will
 Hear Case.
 New York, Dec. 13.-A case re- sembling in many ways that of George Sisler will come before the national commission at an early date. John J. McGraw, of the Giants, will be the complainant, and the player involved is Waite Hoyt, the boy pitcher, who has been practising with the Giants for two years Hoyt is seventeen years old, and when McGraw first discovered him an agreement was made with the boys father by which Hoyt would sign With McGraw when he became of age.
 It appears that several years ago owner Clarkln, of the Hartford club, asked McGraw, as a favor, to draft Hugh High, now with the Yankees, in order to cover the latter up. Me Graw returned High to Clarkin later on and the latter then sold the noted outf1elder to the Detroit club Last summer Clarkin went to New York and asked McGraw to let him have a pitcher. Owing to the enforcement of the tWenty-one player rule, the Giants leader had no extra man, but he agreed to turn over Hoyt, with the understanding that he would be sent back.
 Clarkin then proceeded to sign Hoyt to a contract and at the end of the season he reserved the boy, sub- sequently selling his release to the Lynn cluh McGraw, when he takes the case to the commission, will argue that Hoyt had no right to sign a con- tract without his fathers consent, and that he rightfully belongs to the New York club. McGraw strongly con- demns Clarkin's action, and he prob- ably will be sustained.

MEETING IS POSTPONED.

Hartford, Dec 13.-The meeting of the Eastern baseball league called for next Friday afternoon at Worcester. Mass. has been postponed until Tues day, Dec. 1s, it was announced here last night. President Dan O'Neil, who is attending the baseball gather ing in New York, has been appointed on a committee to go to Chicago, and he will not be able to return here until after Friday, this being the reason for the postponement.

this list are Cobb and Jackson. Cobb, from II campaigns, has passed the 200-hlt mark no less than times, While Jackson has slipped by this gay and g1ddy total three years out of six
 Cobb has gotten his 200 hits as often as Wagner, Speaker, Baker and Crawford put together, and even the year where he was forced into second place found him with POI safe blows to his credit.
 Not Yet for Collins.
 Eddie Collins has knocked at the 2OO-hlt door, but the great second baseman hasn't quite slipped by. In 1909, his first year as a regular, Col lins expunged 19S hits, falling two blows shy when the campaign ended
 That is the closest Eddie ever came to the classic borderland that no one but remarkable hitter can reach and pass.
 But for Consistency
 Collins may be shy the historic honor listed above, but he has one batting record that surpasses anything we have seen in the way of almost miraculous consistency. Kindly direct your wandering gaze to these figures:
 1910-1SS hits
 1911-1SO hits.
 1912-1S9 hits.
 1913-184 hits.
 1914-181 hits.
 Here for five successive campaigns Collins followed a trail of amazing consistency, ranging each year be- tween 180 and 189 drives. To change less than ten hits a season for five seasons is about as steady march along the highway as any one has ever shown. Cobb, Jackson, Wagner, Speaker-none of these has ever ap- preached the Collins figures in the way of consistent effort.
 American League Sluggers.
 Of the eight ball players who have gathered in their harvest of 200 hits, six are from the American league and only two from the National. The trick has been turned twenty times by mem bers of the fiscal crop-seventeen

New Britain herald., 1916-12-13

When you begin to figure on batting greatness there is only one way to aim, and this is over the ten-year route The one-or-two year uprisings are not to be considered too seriously. It is the average over the long and dusty highroad that tells the complete story
New Britain herald., 1916-12-13

Gossip along slugging lines brings back the case of John Franklin Baker. John Franklin didn't have one of his best seasons last year by quite a bit. He was hurt in July, but even up to this spot his batting had been fairly good. but we'll below Bakerian marks of other years. It will be interesting to see whether John Franklin missed the training of that one year spent upon the farm, and just what improve ment he can show with an active cam paign directly behind him.

ROGUE TO COACH YALE SEVEN.

New Haven, Dec: 13.-Fred Rocque, former Dartmouth hockey coach. has been appointed head coach of the Yale hockey team, it was announced last night. - ~~.
New Britain herald., 1916-12-13

As between the two leagues at pres ent there is this detail to observe Cobb, in the American, got POI hits and finished second Chase in the National got 1S4 hits and led the league.
New Britain herald., 1916-12-13

So far as records go, that mark of Cobb's in 1911-24S hits and 147 runs is still left as the target for future generations to fire at. It is the great est one years show of attacking power ever rung up.

III new Book
Devotional Readings
FROM LUTHER's WORKS
For Every Day Of the Year
By Rev. John Sander, L. II. ID.
Cloth, 800; Hall Morocco, gilt top, $500.
Cloth, 800; Half Morocco, gilt top, $500.

These selections have been made chiefly from Luthers
sermons and devotional writings. The aim has been to in.
troduce Luther to a larger circle of English readers. 'Luth-
er and his work are not known in this country as they
should be. America does not realize what an inheritance
she has received from Luther and the Lutheran Reforma-
ton. The best way to understand Luther is to have Luther
himself speak"
The chief aim of the book, however, has been to give the
reader . better understanding of the Holy Scriptures, to
bring him to Christ, and to furnish him comfort and con
ISOLATION in his Christian faith. Luthers words occasionally
appear vag.r and enigmatica, but in reading farther his
meaning becomes clear and is found TO be forcible and even
beautiful.
The readings are we'll chosen, the necessary changes well
made, 30 as to make the reading for each day appear as one
continuous whole, and throughout the whole book the sea
sons Of the church year have been observed.

ENGLAND MAY ADOPT
IRISH LAND PURCHASE
Big Holdings Will Be Needed After
War to Furnish Employment
for Soldiers.

LONDON, February 7-One of the
results of the war. according to relia
BILE information. will be the adoption
by the government of a big scheme of
land purchase for Englanl, such as
has been so successful in Ireland.
Confronted with the two-fold prob
lem of providing employment for dis
