1t has long been contended that
players offensive value can more accu-
rately be judged by taking into ac-
count the number of runs he drives in
over the span of a season than by sirsr
ply perusing the batting average he
complies, as one wallop that produces
runs Is worth many safeties coming
with no one within counting distance.
By this line of reasoning Bobby Veach
of the Tigers must be rated at the
peak. for his total Of lis runs driven
in was the best mark established in the
circuit, topping by seven runs his team
mate. the Incompatible Ty Cobb. who
amassed the healthiest batting average
for the American League. Detroit is

sluggers. for in addition to Veach and
Cobb, who finished one-two. Heilman

who placed were Roth of Cleveland,
Lewis Of Boston and Bodie of the Ath-

Although Rice's mark of sixty-eight
runs failed by one to land him in the

ness of the Nationals flychaser can be
gauged by the fact that he had bet

notable hitters as Eddie Collins. iris

1918 TO Be BAKERS LAST
Home-Run Hitter to Retire From
Base Ball at End of Next
Season.

That the campaign Of 1918 will be
Frank Bakers last season on the dia-
mond is the belief of Roger Peckin-
paugh. the star shortstop of the New
York Yankees. According to Peck.
Baker has lost his love for the national
pastime and will retire to run his farm
in Maryland when his present contract
is up at the end of next season.
Il don't think we will win the pennant
ly to finish considerably higher than we
did this ear If we can keep our fell
lows out of the hospital. If Huggins
succeeds in adding Derrill Pratt to our
infield we will be sure to run not lower
than third.
IT know New York wants a pennant
winner in our league and Col. Rupert
would give a lot of money to have one.
but facts are facts, and Huggins will
have to strengthen more than one spot
before he can win a championship.
IF we get Pratt We will be stronger
at second than we were. We have
picked up another good catcher in Ruel
of Memphis. while some of the outfield-
ers tried out the last few weeks of last
season may come through. We were
handicapped last year by our outfeld-
ers failing to throw runners out at the
plate, and from what I have heard 1
think Higgins will try to land some
gardeners who can throw.
I'VE have some good pitchers-yery

though golf involves NO physical

Exodus of Star Players.

Never in any previous season has
there been such a great exodus of star
players from collegiate ranks. Not an
Institution in any section that did not
lose one or two or several OF ITS best
players. At some colleges whole
teams were swept away and coaches
were confronted with the problem OF
building up entire new machines. 1t
was a lopsided season for the colleges
in many ways. One week team would
look strong enough to win cham
pionship and the next Saturday some
apparently much weaker combination
would come along and sweep the sup
posedly more powerful eleven of the
boards with an overwhelming victory.
Most teams had so few good players
that when they were caught on any
Saturday when three or four OF their
men were hors de combat they could
put up only a mediocre game. That
explains the in-and-out nature of the
schedules of many colleges.
Foot ball because of the reasons
mentioned in the colleges has hardly
been up to It's standard. In several
institutions splendid elevens were de-
veIoped, elevens which apparently were
the gridiron, but these hardly would
have made the brilliant showings they
did in the usual season. nor would they
have attained such prominence under
average conditions. However. while
foot ball in the colleges hardly was
what it has been in the last three years
in the schools and in military organi-
cations, it's growth and prominence was
greatly increased. Particularly was
this true of the latter Some of the
contests between Army teams repre-
senting cantonments took on the as
pect of big struggles between colleges,
and many of the games drew great
crowds.
