This Speakers battle to reach the
800 heights is among the most inter-
esting of the side issue features of
the 1919 campaign.
Ever since his first full season IN
the majors Speaker has clouted the
horsehide for a mark we'll beyond the
charmed circle" His grand average,
exclusive of 1919, is one of the latest
ever owned by any swatsmith OF any
time. The final seal of batting great
ness was placed upon Spoke" in 1915,
when he whanged his way to the abb
solute crest of, the American league.
By hitting FOR 1915 in that, season
Speaker annexed the batting cham
pionship and stands forth as the only
man who ever displaced Ty Cobb in all
the years since the Southern Ty-
phoon" has been performing in big
time"
Speaker followed his 1916 perform
ance by hitting 1852 the next year. and
turned in .319 last season. But, for
some inexplicable reason, the mighty
Indian gardener has been unable to hit
this year within 80 points of his nor
NAL mark.
GETS POOR START
Speaker got away to poor start in
half the season ranged between .255
and $50. IT was impossible COR him
to climb to any greater heights and
stay there for any length of time. He
banged the ball as hard and as often
as in the other days, but few Of his
clouts landed safely.
Undoubtedly the unfortunate slump
of Speaker can be used as one of the
alibis for the Indians. failure to annex
the 1919 pennant. 1t is certainty
that if Speaker had hit for his norma.
average the% Indians would have won
at least five games that now appear
| in the lost" column. If the Indians
and transformed into victories 1t
would change the entire American
| league aspect.
The popularity CONCERNING Speakers
| hitting is the fact that as soon as he
was loaded down with managerial
chores he started to pick up--and then
| began the great fight that he is now
making to land 800 or better. IT
usually follows that when player is
made a manager the added chores dis
tract him somewhat from his work
afield. 1t was true in the cases of La
! joie, Evers, Tenny and many other
| truly greats of the baseball world.
UPSETS DOPE
| But, in Spaker's case, the opposite
seems true. Almost from the first day
| that he became the manager he perked
| up in his hitting. New ambition
stirred within him and Speakers aim
, was to lead his team to the top. He
! played with all the marvellous skill
| and power that he possesses and
| things began to break a little better
for him in batting way. The same
sort of drives that were trapped FOR
outs earlier in the season counted for
hits and Speakers average has been
moving upward at steady rate.
\ From around .275 the star performer
went along to $50. then, point by
point. moved to 1855. then to .290, and
gradually he crept upward toward his
/ aim-.300.
The season still has nearly two
weeks to go-and upon Speakers bat
ting feats during those two weeks de-
ponds the result, of his fight. The
chances are that he will cross the li,e
and stay beyond it. For. in tbs
closing weeks az a campaign. manag.
ers usually stick in locke pitchers fl

QUIGLEY BEST FIELD UMPIRE.

Chicago, July 14.-"Who is the best fielding umpire in the National league!" is a question which is often asked, and it might be said that tAi-s honor undoubtedly should go to Ern- est Quigly. As a general rule the average arbiter is prone to dodge 5hard hit fouls which come his way, but Quigly is not of this type. In several games this season at New York, Cincinnati and Chicago, Quig- ly has made some great stops of lin CTS on foul territory and been ap- pluaded by the fans.
