PIRATES CLAIM BAGBY
National League Club Save Jim From Descending to Minors. Claiming Him
 By the Waiver Rule.

New York, Dec. 4.-After seven years of service with the Cleveland club Jim Bagby, christened James Charles Jacob. has been waived out of the American league. His descent into the minors, however, has been barred Pittsburgh has claimed the big right handler, so Jim is back Tn the league in which he got his ilrst major trial. :,
 Bagby went South with Cincinnati in 1912, coming lip from Hattiesbnre of the Cotton State league. He won two and lost one for the Reds ana then moved down to Montgomery From there he went to New Orleans and then to Cleveland where he made his debut in 1916. Jim's best year was 1920, in which he won thirty one games and lost twelve and had an earned run average of 2.s9.
 Last season Bagby had some trouble with his arm. Later he de. veloned an attack of appendicitis and was operated on in New York

MAY PLAY WEsYERNERs
Yale Will Probably Seek An Oppo- nent to Take Place of Iowa-Dart- mouth Wants a Game.

New Haven, Dec. 4.-Iowa's refusal to come east and meet Yale again in football next fall will cause changes in the Eli schedule plans. The Hawk eyes had been looked upon to provide headline feature for Yale next October. Although they drew only 55,ooo spectators this fall, it was be- lieved that they would prove a suffi- cient attraction to fill the Bowl an- other season.
 Yales hope of securing another game with the Army rests with the War Department, the two-year agree ment having expired this season.
 Yales schedule for 1923 will be shortened. The football officials are statement, but the presence of Har- ward, Princeton and Brown in series which have continued seme 40 years is taken for granted. Friends of Dartmouth have approached Yale re- garding a game, but the Yale man. agement states that no official steps have been taken toward renewing the series which was discontinued nearly 30 years ago with the White Noun taineers.
 The refusal of Iowa to come east has left Yale with date open for a strong attraction, and a prominent Yale man has pointed out that, al- though the Yale Princeton Harvard triple agreement precluded Yale from going to the middle west for a game, there is no reason why the Ellis should not challenge another middle west university to come east.

|GEO. SISLER BATTED FOR AVE. 0F .4l9
Official Statistics of American
 League Are Announced

New York. Dec. 4.--~The leading batter of the year in the American league, according to the official rec- ords released for publication today. was George II. Sisler. star first base man of the St. Louis Browns. who hung up the remarkable average of .419, the second successive year in which this player has reached the 400 mark.
 However. the greatest surprise in the records was contained in the aver age credited to Ty Cobb of Detroit, whose mark has been changed by Ban Johnson from 1t original .S9S to .4ol. thereby entitling the veteran to join Jesse Burkett in the very select circle which can boast of three 100 marks or better in it's big league career. The records reveal for the first time that President Johnson officially overrode the decision of the scorer in New York on one play and changed an off, flcial error in an official hit.
 In the game with the Tanks here on May IS Cobb hit a grounder to Scott who fumbled and was credited with an error by. the official scorer. The unofficial box score gave Cobb a single, and it was this one play which made the difference between .39S and .401. At the end of the season, while reviewing the records to see if Cobb had been unjustly deprived of 400 average, Josnson came upon this dis crepancy and now he has ruled in fa- vor of the Detroit manager.
 Home Run Stars.
 Every team had its home run hero. Kenneth R. Williams of the Browns being the leader with 39, 20 less than the mark set by Ruth in 1921. c. w. Walker of Philadelphia was second with 37, while Babe Ruth in no, games cracked out 35 circuit smash es. Several other "f1y ball hitters" made home-run records that would have won them much attention in for mer years.
 The advance guard of a new army of extra-base sluggers appeared, and it was largely through the efforts of these new men that the greatly inn proved pitching made so little irl- press on the season averages. No less than sixteen men in their first or sec- ond year are found among the 300 hitters.
 Browns Dust Tigers.
 St. Louis busted Detroit from it's fa- vorite ~,sition as batting leaders. The Browns record is .S13, as compared with .3l6 for the Tigers in 1921, while Boston, low club this season with ,263, is II points below the Athletics mark of 274 last year.
 There was slight increase in the use of the sacrifice to advance run- ners, 1,5S2, as compared with 1,551 last year, but there were 12 fewer bases stolen, the figures being 6S1. against 693. Cleveland worked op- posing hurlers for 554 bases on balls. Detroit had 5S0, the champion New York team 497, Chicago 4s2 and St. Louis 47S passes

Freak plays were numerous in foot hal, this year, but it Is doubtful 1T any surpassed the feat Of Aspludh or Swarthnore who caught his own punt behind his own goal line and was thrown for safety in game in which hIs team defeated Haverford. 25 to 2.
 This play was made after Haver- ford had been held for downs on the edge of Swarthmores goal line.

Caught by stiff breeze sweeping down the field. the ball was carried back over the goal line, where Asplundh grabbed it just as several Haverford players tackled him.
