ward, With Strong Stellar
Group Starting Battle.

Two strong teams, both alike in
being composed Of former scholas-
tic stars, will clash in armory hall,
otherwise the Community Service
league hall at Sixteenth street and
Third avenue. when the Rock Is
land post of the American Legion
meets the Blackhawk Mattress
company employees Of Davenport in
a basketball game. The interstate
aspect Of the affair is expected to
produce high feeling at this meet
ing on the side lines. At the same
time, the Legion quintet, in its in
fancy, will try to get off with a
good start by downing Davenport.
The friends of the Legion, and in
Davenport those who know how
good the work of the Blackhawk
team is, have shown great inter-
est in the affair. A number OF
tickets have been sold and the gate
receipts proper are expected to be
equally large.
Last night in the Y NJ. c. A. the
legion squad conducted practice
basketball scrimmage. during which
they demonstrated that strength
and teamwork are combined in a
wonderful degree in their play.
As They Start.
Another outcome of that practice
was the announcement of the five
who will start the game tonight.
With Smith at center, AL Tabor and
Dempsey will hold down the for
ward positions and Morris and Val
entine the guards. Opposing them
will be Fabricius and Lundt at
guards on the Blackhawk factory
team, PAIL at center, and o. Vein
and Ditmer forwards.
The big mix begins at s o'clock
sharp. Both squads have trained
down tc an unusually fine degree
for this early In the season. and
the dope all points to a scrap OF
unusual interest. They are about
evenly matched in weight, although
the Legion is said to have the adj
vantage in speed.

measure was tabled until the next
meeting, late in January, inasmuch
as the attendance was unsatisfac-

once since that time has Cobb been
beaten out of the batting hOnors
in the league. In 1916, Iris Speak
er nosed him out. but even that sea-
son Cobb hit away above $50.
When a fellow can lead the
American league IL out of IL years
it is certain there is nothing flukey
about his hitting However. the
figures for last season indicate
that Cobb has lost a bit of his
speed regardless of the fact he still
leads. He stole only % bases. One
season he swiped over eighty. All
things considered. however. Tyrus
appears to be quite a desirable ball
player for any big league club to-
day, even if he has been up so
many years.
Base Running Slows Up.
The base running in the Ameri-
can league, dropped down consider
able last year for some unaccount-
able reason. Eddie Collins, captain
Of the White Sox, stole more bags
than any player in the league and
his mark was only SO for 14O
games. Cobb and George Sisler, the
speed demon of the Browns. were
tied for second honors with %
each.
Bob Veach of the Tigers. earned
second honors as a hitter. with an
average of 1855. but was closely fol-
lowed by Sisler with .S52. and by
Joe jackson of the Sox, with .351.
Next was the slugger, Babe Ruth
Of the Red Sox with 1922. but Ruth
gained distinction by breaking the
worlds record for home runs with
a total of 20.
SOx Team Mark at Top.
Eddie Collins. .319. and Memo
Liebold. .302. were the other Sox
players who swatted above the
coveted 800 mark, but Buck Weav-
er. Fred McMullin and Chick Gan.
dill. all hit better than 900. which
brought the team batting average
up to .2S7, the best in the league.
A noticeable feature was the rec
ord. for bases on balls made BY
Babe Ruth. He strolled to first 101
times during the season, LiebolG
being nxet to him with IS. I,
seems that many pitchers figured il
better to give Ruth four bad ones
