A. A. j. JUNIOR
RECORDS BROKEN
On Opening Day of Meet at St.
Louis--More Events Today
Red Cross Benefit. =,

Four new junior records were
broken yesterday at the opening day
of the twenty-ninth annual champion
ship meet of the Amateur Athletic
Union being held at St. Louis The
first Junior record to fall was the pole
vault, e. Knourek, of the Illinois Ath-
letic Club of Chicago, in trying for
the old mark Of ~ feet 5.64 inches,
set new one Of IL feet 5.75 inches.
The next record to go down was that
of the 120-yard high hurdles Harold
Barron. of the Meadowbrook Ath-
letic Club. made the 440 yard dash In
fifty seconds, also setting a new jun
ior record, and the final new mark
was set by Charles Siebert, of the Chi
cago Tungemeiner, who made a rum
ming high jump of feet inch. The
old record of 10 seconds In the hun
dred yard dash was equalled.
The Illinois Athletic Club won the
point honors yesterday with a total
of forty-four. The Meadowbrook
Athletic Club, of Philadelphia, was
second with a score OF thirty. The
championships were held at Francis
Field, the athletic ground OF Wash
ington University.
For the first time In the history of
the Amateur Athletic Union, negro
won an event, he being B. F. Jones, of
the Alpha P G. c., of New York.
Jones took first In the running broad
jump with distance Of twenty-five
feet, four inches.

BASEBALL NEEDS
NEW SYSTEM
To Figure Averages so That
They ShW Real Value Of
Player, Say Experts.

1t is only a question OF time until
baseball fans and critics viii demand
a change In baseball statistics which
will give better line ON a players
actual value than the system now In
use.
For several years critics have now
and then pointed out the fallacies
and shortcomings Of the present sys-
TENS of rating ballplayers, but the
national commission, most reaction
airy of reactionary bodies, has faAled
to take notice.
The most revolutionary cflange In
the history of baseball ratings was
''''ss'. league ~ ratings nitchars
according to earned runs MADE o
their delivery instead Of onI games
won and lost.
The earned run system is, of
course, the fairest.
Changes in batting and fielding
averages could be made to be of great
benefit to the game and show with
more fairness the value of the play
Several theories have been ad-
vanced suggesting means by which
this could be accomplished.
Perhaps the most remarkable Ia
one which would consider the num-
ber OF bases secured on nHs ana tne
number Of runs scored as the result
of hits.
For instance-last year Wahie
Pipp, according to the present system
of averages, batted .262 and ranked
fiftieth In the list of batsmen. The
average was based on 143 hits in b4S
times at bat
No account was taken OF the fact
that Pipp had to his credit 20 doubles,
IA triples and IL home runs for q
total OF 227 extra bases, record ex-
ceeded by only eight men In the
league.
Jack Graney stood seventy-second
In the list with an average of .242
But Graney had to his credit Al
doubles, IA triples and five home
runs, totaling 226 bases.
Isn't It natural to believe thai
either Of these players are of more
value to their team than the player
standing near the top Of the list
who bats around .280 and get about
$50 bases out of 225 hits2
1t is evident that more scoring will
be done on the longer hits. Rum
win ball games and the man wht
manufacturers them, not he wht
builds up his own batting averages, II
of the most value to his club.
