BATTING AVERAGES

The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-09-01

Justified In throwing the bat at th' pitcher and breaking his arm to proven him pitching There is just as much jus tice in that as there is in the pitchei trying to intimdate, and even worse, il hurting the batter.
 The Mays case affords an Illustration At times I feel the American league players who are denouncing Mays arr Justified and I am inclined to thinl Mays will be barred from the league You know his reputation is against him It is no secret that Ty Cobb for two year wore long spikes the days Mays pitched for he wanted to cut him down, Cobl always bunted, hoping Mays would hav, to cover first base. A fellow like Mayt should be kept out of the sport"

WHITTED METHOD OF
 STOPPING BEAN BALL

George Whitteu says the most effec- tive method of stopping the practice of pitchers hurling the bean ball is for the batter to rush out with the bat and ad- minister punishment. They can't tell me that pitchers do not throw at your head" says the hustling Pirate. There
 is no rule to prevent it, and the pitcher always has, the alibi that he did not try to get the ball close to the head. but they do it. I guess if a batter strikes out five times in a game he would be

DELTA LEAGUE ENDS SEASON;
 WILL CEASE TO BE OUTLAW

Jumping baseball players will be de- prived of one haven. according to latest reports from the Delta league. It is said that the Delta organization, which has just closed, will enlarge to a six-club circuit next season, but that it's club owners are tired of conducting outlaw sport and will apply for admission into organized baseball.
 It is stated that the organization did not intend to harbor contract jumpers when 1t first started, but to appeal main ly to college boys who lose their college status if they play in the organized sport. When competition grew keen, however, the jumpers were employed and some of the magnates lost money as a result of the high salaries they paid to enlist the disaffecteds from the Southern League.
 The Delta has closed it's season some what prematurely and Monte Trieste. Hugh Canavan. Big Tim Murchison. Ava Halt and several other Southern leaguers find themselves out of jobs for the year and forced to nose about to get any jobs in the coming years. It will have been a brief experience in high finance for these

fighter. He held off Dempsey for six of the westerner to slip over the fin ishing punch. In both battles he dis played amazing ring generalship. abil- | ity to take punishment and marvellous endurance. There Is nothing to indi- cate thaN Miske isn't still possessed of those assets.
 Having met Dempsey twice Is dis tinct advantage for Miske if he plans to fight a defensive battle and that is undoubtedly what he will do. He knows fairly we'll the Dempsey tactics knows all the Dempsey rushes, the famous Dempsey shift and a lot of other things Having such knowledge | he will find it possible to use it to ex | treme advantage in the Labor Day | fight.
 | Dempsey Is almost a sure winner of
 that contest. But Dempsey may find a | lot of trouble in accomplishing his aim
 to knock out Mske in the first few rounds, For Miske is a fighter-and
 Miske knows how to fight. He will be | further favored in that fight with | Dempsey by the fact that it has been
 more than year since Dempsey mingled Tn ring battle. A year of lay-off helps no man. It will take a
 few fights to tune" up Dempsey The l champion certainly won't be tuned"
 when he mixes it with Miske. And so,
 on the surface of things, it looks as
 if this fight-unless Dempsey gets in
 an early punch of terrible power-will be an affair worth travelling to see.
