As much as we esteem the ability OF Jake
Daubert and others. our first sentimental
choice In this grapple Is Honus Wagner
To lead the league at forty-two would be
something SO far beyond the average that
II should be hung up as a classic Of the
game For Honus began TO dribble away
his once fine percentage two years ago. and
no one ever figured he would know the
800 country again. A Wagnerlan triumph
would be the most popular achievement Of
the year
IL Wagner fails we wouldn't mind seeing
Hal Chase arrive, Hal has had his share
But ho has come back this season TO his
best ways, and he has been great enough

Wagner, Chase and Dau-
bert Among Contest
ants for Honors

AMONG other hectic features connected
"A with the National Frenzy, 1t might be
just as well not to overlook the batting
battle for the top of the N. L. crest At
this writing there are no less than Seven
Sons Of Swat who have a chance to pick
up where Larry Doyle left Off year ago.
when the Giant slugger slipped by Luderus
at the finish.
After ALL It is not so much of the fact
that seven are still in the scramble as II Is
the general mixture of the surviving lot.
Concerning Some Tradition
First. there is Jake Daubert whaling
away at the ball to recover the honors he
held in 1913 and 1914.
Even more important than Jacobs pres
ence back at the top is the threatened rush
Of two Of the games most noted entries
Mr.. H. Wagner, Of Pittsburgh, and a
Mr.. Fl. Chase, Of Cincinnati.
Wagner was counted out of the 800 class
two years ago, when he finally began to
careen bit. Chase was counted out of
the big league year ago, when the Feds
exploded with the usual accent To have
Wagner and Chase back in batting for the
top adds what any one might call lustre
to the occasion, for IL either should arrive
It would be one OF the years sensations,
Only sensations have come so thick this sea-
son that II takes husky one to get more
than two agate lines.
The Rest of the Scramble
These are not the sole entries In the
general mixture there is a young Mr.
Hornsby OF st. Louis, struggling with his
elders as IL tradition meant nothing at all.
Hornsby is a debutante. IL he leads the
league IL will be the first time I'm history
that a frst-year regular ever led a major
circuit. Joe Jackson would have done II
about five years ago If Ty Cobb hadn't
batted 420. But as Mr. Cobb did bat
.420. Joseph failed TO upset precedent
Perhaps Hornsby~ will.
To these names the nonlcker OF Zacharias
Wheat should be added. Zach never has
had any thought about leading a league
since ne broke into baseball He never has
been even fairly close to the N. L. top be-
fore, although always good, consistent
scholar in the School Of Swat.
The Difference
In the American League, due to the prev
alence of Ty Cobb, Iris Speaker and Joe
Jackson, It generally requires about 1916 or
$50 20 lead the Big Parade. Outside Of
these three the others are about on a Ma
tfonal League basis.
In the National any able Son of Slug
who can bat over 325 is pretty sure to be
Number One. Larry Doyle led the circuit
last year with 800. Daubert led the year
before around $40. The last National
Lacquer TO achieve anything approaching
classic heights was Heinie Zimmerman,
when he moved only shade below $40
about four years ago
