ONLY ?. PLAYERS a
 REPEATED AS 300
 MEN IN NATIONAL

There were only two players in the National League who hit in the 300 class last season and repeated this year. They were Jake Daubert of the Dodgers and Bill Hinchman of the Pi- rates, and both improved their marks. Last season Daubert hit for 1901 and this year his average is .323. Hinch- man batted for 1907 year ago and this season boosted his mark to .315.
 Larry Doyle and Fred Luderus, who fought 1t out for the batting honors last season, both fell down in their hittine this year. The former Giant captain walloped the ball for .274 this season as compared with 1920 last year, while Luderus, who hit for .316 in helping the Phillies to win the pennant, went down to -2s4 this sea son. Griffith of Cincinnati, whose average ssa .ss; last @ fon was .so7' hit for
 The new men in the select class this season include Hal Chase with 7 1885. Holkei of New York with 1855, and McCarty of New York with .343, both of whom played in less than 100 games; Wheat of Brooklyn with -312. Robertson of the Giants with 1908, and Hornsby of the Cardinals with the same figures as Robertson.
 The unofficial figures of the Amer ican League find practically the same leaders. as in previous years. Cobb, Speaker. Jackson and Eddie Collins are the players in the 300 class this { season who have been in the selact circle ever since they became regu- lars in the American League. Of this quartet Speaker and Jackson are the only ones who have improved over their marks of year/ /ago. Speaker hit for .S22 last year, while this sea- son he l@ads the American. League with an average of between 1885 and .39O. Cobb with 1885 this season is five points below last years figures, while Joe Jackson, who hit it for .3O8 last year. Is upto .341 this season. Ed die Collins came through a year ago with a mark of .332, while this season he dropped to .314. Men who climb ed into the 300 class this season are Strunk of the Athletics, Gardner of the Red Sox, Felsch of the White { Sox and veach of the Tigers Rice of the Senators in 59 games hit for .315. :. One of the disappointments of the usual 300 hieters in the American was Stuffy McInHes of the Athletics For six consecutive seasons McInnes was in the 300 class, and being ma tura1 hitter. it was thought he was the best man in the b<g show to SC after Hans Wagner's mark of 17 straight seasons because McInnes is the youngest player in the major leagues with six seasons of 300 hit ting. But Stuffy apparently did not feel the same this season with all his old teammates gone, and for a good portion of the season was hitting close to ,the 200 mark. During the latter part of the campaign he picked up and boosted his average to .2S5.

Philadelphia, Oct. ,2S-The loss of Howard Berry, star halfback, to the Pennsylvania for the University of Pittsburgh game today was made known here yesterday. Berry will not be able to play owing to injuries re- ceived in practice, though every effort has been made to keep the fact a se- cret.
 The loss of Berry materially dimin- ished Penn's chances against Coach Glenn Warmers eleven. Berry is the most reliable punter, and drop kicker on the squad, as well as star at running with the ball.

BIG LEAGUES WON'T FIGHT

After all that talk in the papers it war between the National and Amer ican leagues. The magnates lost enough aoney fighting the Federals to take the scrappy spirit out of them. Ban Johnson and President Tener of the National league did swap a few compliments through the newspapers but Johnson made a graceful exit for himself by saying he never Said any such thing.
 Tener though he pulled knockout when he asked Johnson why he didn't investigate the Lannin case in his own league. There wasn't much of a com- parison between McGraw's charges and Lannins remarks. Lannin's statement that the umpires were against his club was simply the vail of a disgruntled magnate whose club happened to be losing at the time. Managers are always declaring the umpires give them the worst of it. McGraw's claim that the Giants did notp lay their real game against Brooklyn in a critical part of the race was a mores erious matter.
 Les Darcy is making a lot of fare well tours before he joins the army in Australia. He has been stalling the recruiting officers and has promised he will enlist after two more fights.

Darcy, Ring Idol of M Australia, Has His
 21st Birthday Today

Les Darcy, the Australian black smith who now looms up as the real goods in the middleweight division, will reach manhood's estate today, as he was born in West Maitland, New South Wales, Oct. 2S, 1895. The birthday of Darcy is of special inter- est to the pugilistic world, as it has been repeatedly reported that Les ter was anxious to enlist, but that his mother would not let him. Now that he is twenty-one and his own. boss, that alibi loses it's effectiveness. Even if he does don a uniform, 1t is unlike ly that Les will be sent to the firing line, for he could do more as re- cruiting officer at home. At this dis tance, and considering his long string of victories over the best middle weights that America can offer, Darcy looks like a real fighter, and not a mere snowman. He has tackled ev cry middleweight who offered himself. and has now beaten every man of any reputation except Mike Gibbons. His list of victims includes Clabby, Chip, McGoorty, Brown, Grouse, Jeff Smith, Billy Murray and other Americans, as we'll as all the Australians of his weight. He has crowded more long bouts into his br1e1 career than any other fighter living. Some of the greatest boxers of the past were Aus tralian products, and it looks like the Antipodes has scored again with Darcy.
 Gershon Mendeloff, England's dash ing, clashing, slashing entry in the welterweight stakes, is native of that dear fold London, and will be twenty-two years old today. Gershon is somewhat better known as Ted Kid Lewis. For time he looked like the man who would revive the ancient glories of the welter division, but he struck a snag when he met the vet eran Jack Britton. Ted-Kid is very clever boxer, and he has broken all records in weight making by fighting in the lightweight, welter and middle weight divisions within a few months. When he landed in New York he had hard time to gain any recognition, but by fighting steadily and persistent ly and never lodging a foe he forced the bugs to sit up and observe him. Lewis was one of the boxers inveigled into the Argentine expedition. last summer

STOPPING ON THE WAY

Some of the big things that are go
ing to be accomplished in this country
during the next forty years are going
to be identified with the names of the
young men graduated from the Ameri-
can colleges and universities during
the present month. From among the
thousands there will be few who will
make national and perhaps world rec
ords. Many more will find places of
usefulness and still a larger number,
when the best years of their lives have
passed, will realize that they have
been merely travelling with instead Of
helping to push the great machine.
Success has more meanings than
some words in the dictionary. A
definition that will not be found in the
big book but one that might bene-
ficially be given permanent lodgings in
the memories of the young men whose
names are being inscribed on the dirlo
mas these days would be Making the
Most Of Ones Ability" There is no
more pitiful waste in the world than
the waste of talent and talent is moth
ing more than ability raised to the
lsuperlative degree. Men fall short of
achievement not so frequently be-
cause they have come into the world
with inadequate equipment but be-
cause they lack the determination to
fully utilize the equipment which ma
ture provided them
Not long ago the head Of one of the
| biggest Industrial enterprises in Yer
mont made the statement that he had
been able to develope a large number
of the technically trained young men in
! his employ to a certain point. In the
majority of cases the young men who
were selected by the company quickly
| adjusted themselves to the require
ments of the business. They worked
industriously and willingly. In the
beginning all evidenced a disposition
| to climb, but as the grade stiffened
their pace slackened. Instead of add
ing a little more effort as the going
became little harder the most OF
them showed a disposition to "slow
| up" to be content with whatever rank
| ing they had acquired and the rewards
that went with it.
Frequently, the president of the com
| pany said, he had observed young nier
who in the beginning appeared to have
in them the markings OF department
heads and branch Office managers and
who went on up the scale of promotion
almost to the pitch Of the divide be
yond which were the positions of larg
er rewards and influence, only to ap
parently lose their driving power at 6
point where it was most needed. They
had the ability to achieve something
worth while but they failed to make
the most of it.
