FIRST BAsEMEN FIELDING RECORDS
FIRST BAsEMEN BATTING RECORDS

In 1916. he made all three OF his
hits in one game and went hitless in
the remainder of the series. In 1919.
he failed to hit in five games out OF
the eight, his seven hits being
punched in three games.
JOHNSTON A COMEBACK
Doc Johnston OF Cleveland Is 300
hitter this season. and really has
made a remarkable comeback since
he was called back to the Indians.
Johnston Is noted for being a great
spring and early season players, one
who shows the wear and tear or hot
campaign in August and September,
Among many experts. he Is not re-
garded as a high h-grade first baseman.
but what he lacks in ability as
player he more than makes up IN
grit and fighting spirit.
Though John Collins played first
base in his early days in the Ameri-
can League, the best that can be said
for his is that he Is an outhelder
stationed at first base. lie has done
better with the position than might
have been expected, but IL the White
Sox again get into the series Shane
Collins will be their weak spot on the
defense.
While, Collins hit fairly I'm previous
worlds series-.2S6 in 1917 and $50 in
1919, he never arose to the big oc-
casion. In 1917. he made three dam
aging errors in eight fielding chances.
George Kelly of the Giants still Is
more or less OF an enigma. lie can
hit like a fool for a week and then
fall down completely. But he has
long-distance wallop. and II the
series is played on the Polo Grounds,
New York. that left field bleacher Will
always be a source Of danger to the
opposing team. He covers ground
and has one OF the greatest arms In
baseball
Wally Pipp of the Yanks is a hitter
Of the hit or miss type. He always
swings with all he has, and twenty
nine doubles. thirteen triples and nine
homers are evidence that he often
connects. He is the best run-getter
among the first basemen, due to the
fact that he proceeds Babe Ruth in the
New York batting order.

PRESIDENT LOOKS
AT G. v. U.PRACT|CE
Bx BRYAN MORSE

II is good many years since
Wesleyan University, OF Middletown,
Conn. had a strategy coach named
Woodrow Wilson. Not many persons
are aware the President Woodrow
Wilson was coach OF a grid eleven In
his days as a professor In the New
England institution.
Unless our guess goes far aneld. the
Chief Executive had an opportunity
yesterday TO hearken back to the
days when he was closely connected
with football. 1t was along after five
o'clock when the presidential car roll
ed into Potomac Park.
The President spied the George
Washington University football candi-
dates at work on the field. The car
slowed down. The President looked
long and intently at the gridiron
candidates and for a stretch OF a
quarter OF a mile observed closely the
players trotting up and down the
field.
George Washington players, there
fore, count among those interested In
their progress, the President OF the
United 'CItes. one time coach OF
Wesleyan University.
Years ago when the late Theodore
Roosevelt was president he was much
interested in the Western High
cltNtn. ALMOST every uay In tne Idil
President Roosevelt rode out New Cut
Road In Georgetown with several
members OF his cabinet
Almost daily the young Westerners
would come to the edge OF their field
and give the President a cheer. He
would always say a word or two. ask
how the game was going or raise his
well known sombrero.
Ii was at the corner OF Thirty-fifth
and X streets one day that President
Roosevelt gave an extemporary
speech to the high school lads from
which was often quoted the famous
saying Buck the line hard. boys"
Yesterday the Hatchetites were re-
warded by President Wilson's keen
attention. He has been int crested
many times on his rides through
Potomac Park at the bathing beach.
the tennis players and golfers and IL
IL hoped that he will follow the
Hatchetites during the remainder OF
the season.
No new candidates reported yester-
day for George Washington. The
squad for the most part Is made up
OF green players and former high
school athletes. They are showing
plenty OF pep and aside from the
usual stiffness after first days
practice showed plenty OF drive yester-
day

BY FREDERICK G.. LIEB.

The first basemen of the 1920 con-
tenders, two of whom will oppose
each other in the fall baseball classic
Of next month, are an odd lot. Jake
Daubert of the Reds, and Wally
Pipp, of the Yankees, a pair of
agile lefthanders, are, of course,
stars at their position. Ed Konetchy,
Brooklyn's heavyweight first base
man, is the veteran player of the Ma
tional League in point Of service,
and is having one of his biggest
years. Doc Johnston, of the In
The Washington times., 1920-09-17

dams, was resurrected by Cleve-
land during the war, and George
Kelly, of the Giants, is a youngster
whom it took six years to arrive.
John Collins, Of the Chicago White
Sox, is a transplanted outfelder,
though he played first base a decade
ago when he first Joined the Comis-
key clan in 1910.
Worlds series excitement would be
a new thrill to four members OF the
sextet-Pipp, Konetchy, Kelly and
Johnston, while Shane Collins never
has played first base in balloons blue
ribbon event, the Chicagoan divided
the right field post with little Memo
l.eibold in the series Of 1917 and 1919.
and got into the games only when
eft-handed pitchers opposed the
White Sox.
Jake Daubert. therefore, is the only
first baseman among those of the six
contending clubs who has had actual
worlds series experience at first base.
He played with the Brooklyn Dodgers
when they were routed by the Rel
Sox in 1915. and was one of the big
cogs in Pat Moran's Cincinnati
worlds champions OF last year.
The 1920 batting averages, com
piled by AL Munro Elias, show that all
six first basemen have done some
lively clouting this season. Only 30
points separate the six men in bat
ting, and while Pipp has the lowest
average he more than Offsets II by
his ability as a long distance slugger.
The lean Yankee first baseman has
tidy margin in total bases. and leads
his five rivals in doubles, triples and
homers.
LITTLE TO CHOOSE HERE.
There Is little to choose between
the six men in fielding. Kelly and
Pipp, the two New Workers, are tied
with averages Of .994: the other four
are deadlocked at .99l. Kelly, how
ever, has by far the greatest number
of total chances-l ,59S, of which he
accepted all but 10.
Konetchy, 35 years old on the third
of this month, has had an old career.
Two years ago when the Braves let
him out he had fallen to .236 in bat
ting and apparently was at the end
of his big league rope. Brooklyn
saved the player from a drop into
the minors, and he has more than re-
paid Ebbets.
This season it has been Konetchy's
hard and timely hitting that has en-
abled Brooklyn to stick up with the
contenders. The big Bohemian is
slow Of foot. but can hold his own
in covering first base with the aver
age. If Brooklyn gets into the series.
Big Eds cleanup hitting should be
one of the features.
Daubert, Konetchy's predecessor In
Brooklyn, is the same age or the 30
hemian-35. Though no longer the
batting champion of his league the
Cincinnati first baseman still can
sting 'em.
A nervous temperament has pre-
yelled Jake from utilizing his batting
skill in former Worlds Series. lie
hit only .176 in 1915 and PA in the
games with the White Sox last fall.
