The final try-out 10 select the

ming August 20. was conducted at
the state Range below New Castle
yesterday afternoon. Quite a num-
her of candidates who have never
previously attended the national
matches presented themselves and
turned in very creditabie scores.
Several OF these men have Just re-
turned from the army training camp
az Plattsburg, New York, where they
had received instruction that was Of
material assistance 10 them In the
trials. and which is reflected in their
scores.
The trial was interrupted by the

Evening journal., 1921-07-30

Frank Frisch is scoring most OF
the runs that are helping the New
York Giants overtake the Pirates In
the drive for the pennant.
The fieet-footed inhelder has
scored over 20 runs and is leading
the league. Rogers Hornsby is his
closest rival.
He Is also running a neck ahead
Of Max Carey OF the Pirates for the
league base stealing honors.
While this Is a year Of batting
instead Of base stealing and pitching
the young Giants record stands out.
Frisch. who is a Fordham Uni
versity boy, Is a fine athlete. He
can do the 100 yards in 10 seconds.
Right now he Is one OF the most
valuable players in the National
League. McGraw took him fresh
from school a year ago.
In addition to his run-scoring and
base-stealing assests he is a great
fielder and hits around the $50
mark.
He is tho most valuable player to
his club In the league.
McGraw could get a small fortune
for him-but New York holds its
stars instead OF selling them.

Werden is now calling balls and

He isn't as s1ry as he once was,
but he runs the game like a car.
His record was almost forgotten
until Ruth made 20 home runs In
1919. Then the dope on Werden
was dug up for comparison.
The best day az bat Werdcn ever
had was on July %, 1895, when he
raped out four home runs and a
single In five times at bat. giving the
slugger a total Of II bases for one
game.
Werden stood at the plate with his
feet close together. lifted himself
back and met the bail with his whole
weight behind the bat.
He had a good eye and seldom
struck out. His grip was like Babes

Back In his time a team had 10 be

NOTE TO RARE

Babe Ruth Is a big guy. but he
has never hit four homers In one
game
Bobby Lowe. Perry Werden and
Ed Delehanty all have.
And Bambino. with all his terrific
slugging. has never bounced out
enough hits to total 4O7 bases foI
A season. Tip O'Neil. back In 1887,
accomplished this feat
George sisler, OF the Browns, came
the nearest TO o'Neil's mark in 1920,
when he hit for a total OF 399 bases.
There is no rest for a super. He
no sooner cracks one record than
all the high spots OF history are
trotted out for him to blaze away
at. And he's expected TO hurdle
them or fall a shadow short Of great
ness.
