Kelly Outhitting Pipp.

At first base Kelly has the advantage
over Pipp, but the margin is not so
big as to make IL important. Kelly has
been hitting for .332, while his Yankee
rival shows an average of 1892. Kelly
is the longer and harder hitter. Long
George of late has shown fair ability
to sock the ball right on the nose with
men straining on the paths. but SO has
Pipp.
Kelly is a streaky hitter and IL he
should happen TO get into one of those
hitting fits OF his during the series he
VIII prove one of the most dangerous
men on the field. His potentalities for
the Giants are second only to those of
Irish Meusel. a phlegmatic slugger, who
Is undisturbed by the stakes and the
importance cf winning and can sock
about any kind OF pitching.
At second base Fritsch. hitting for .325,
has the advantage over Ward, whose
batting has gone down few pegs this
season. to the 269 mark. F'risch must
be conceded to be the better all around
ball player. He Is longer and timelier
hitter than Ward and has tremendous
asset In his great speed. lie will be by
far the fastest man on the lot.
Bancroft over scott.
At shortstop the hitting situation IA
NDfS IDdHtiOlA over oGOLt, ny .o5U TO Z 10.
Bannie's advantage there may be cut
down on par with the Scott average
by the highly temperamental makeup of
the captain of the Giants. Against the.
Yankees last year Bancroft got away
TO poor start and the worry thereof
kept his average down below the 200
mark If Davy can start strong he will
be right there with his little old .300--a
dangerous man.
In the utility role Rawlings seems to
have something on Mike McNally OF the
Yankees, for Johnny shows an average
OF .2S0 and a faculty for hitting In
pinches, while McNally has hit for .262.
A summary of the hitting Of the four
regulars Of both clubs gives the advan-
tage to the Giants by a margin of "a
points--.3i7 to .293. That's quite a mar
gin, but IL is a question how much II will
count for when they fight for four out OF
seven. That average OF .293 is close
enough to the 300 mark to make the
four stand pretty high In hitting.
Questions concerning defense are not
50 easily settled by figures. Fielding
averages for whole season may be
knocked into cooked hat In just one
game of the world series. A first base
man who has not made an error since
Hector was pup. may spill the beans
then and there.
And fielding averages arc worthless.
anyway The figures behind the aver
esss are more interesting. As for field
re averages, Rath OF the Reds showed
the best figures among second basemen
Of the National League when he was
released to San Francisco In the Win
ter Of 1920-1921. The bird who says
"howdy" to the hard ones will get few
errors The man with the errors Is the
one who goes after anything.
vmDks Have Advantage Here.
IN fielding, the Yankee inner works
has the advantage over the Giants. by

Barnes stops Donohue.

Pete Donohue of the Reds concluded
q winning streak of seven victories by
taking the losers end of his tilt with
Jesse Barnes of the Giants on Septem-
ber 16.
The Phillies were the first National
League Club to garner 100 home runs
this year. The Quakers secured their
century homer on September 16.
Ivy Olson of the Dodgers ended q
hitting streak of ten straight games by
going hitless September 16 to Percy
Jones and Vic Aldridge. During his
hitting period Ivy punched out fourteen
hits in forty-nine tries for a mark OF
2S6.
Arnold Statz OF the Cubs was stopped
September 16 by Harry Shriver after
hitting safely his last ten games. While
hitting them Statz smote sixteen hits In
forty-four tries for a percentage of 1864

sisIer stiII Going strong.

George Sisler OF the Browns con-
tinues leading the hitters in the Amer
lean League with the splendid percent
age OF .416. Sisler secured the most
hits, 234. and shows the way along the
base paths with Al stolen bases and Is
in tie with Lu Blue OF the Tigers with
126 runs each. Kenneth Williams OF the
Browns heads the sluggers with 80 home
runs and Joe Bush of the Yankees oc-
cupies hurting honors with 25 victories
and defeats for a pitching percentage
OF SOC.
Sisler created new American League
record for hitting In consecutive games
by getting one or more hits in Al sue
cessive contests. Sisler began his hit
ting streak July 81 when he faced Joe
Bush of the Yankees and by an odd
twist OF fate II was Joe Bush who ap-
piled the brakes and stopped Sislor
nearly eight weeks later. Sisler In four
batting tries September rs got nary n
hit off Bush thus ending the longest
hitting streak during the 23 years ex-
istence OF the American League Sisler
came within three games OF euualing
the Major League record Of "A games,
established 1897 by Willie Keeler of the
Baltimore Nationals.

Cooper Even with Giants.

Wilbur Cooper of the Pirates turned
in his sixth straight victory by besting
the Giants on September 20. Cooper $
success over the Giants this year evenec
the count existing between the hurler
and club, for Cooper has won twenty
games from the Giants and lost like
number during his pitching career
against the Giants.
Cliff Lee of the Phillies, went on a
batting rampage that had endured for
15 games in row. until September 10,
when Charley Glazner applied the
brakes and halted Lee. While hitting
them, Cliff smote 80 hits in 63 trials for
batting mark Of .476 and scored 10
runs.
Walter Henline Of the Phillies, created
modern National League history by pol
ing three home runs in the game of
September Is. Not since September 26,
1897, when Jake Beckley of Cincinnati,
clouted trio of homers off Billy Sud
hoff of st. Louis. as National
Lacquer, garnered three home runs in
one contest The same day Rogers
Hornsby of the Cardinals, poled two
homers in game-one Of the round
trippers being with the bases full.
Jim Bottomly Of the Cardinals, after
scoring IL runs in straight games was
stopped September 15 by the Phillies.

Excellent Boats
For Patrol Work

The necessity for small boats, so
staunch in construction as to make
cruising in the open gulf safe, induced
Commissioner Alexander of the Louis
lana Department of Conservation a
short time ago to purchase from the
federal government several hulls built
foE tenders for battleships at small
cost. These boats, as may be i'm.
agined from the use for which they
were built, are of the most substantial
construction and copper fastened
throughout. and are "a feet long, 8 feet
beam and draft Of 2S inches, fully
equipped. Only the hulls were bought
from the government, the cabin con-
struction and engine installation being
done by Emile R. Senac, inspector OF
property Of the department.
The engines develop sufficient horse
power to give a speed Of nine miles an
hour, and the boats have a cruising
radius Of 319 miles On on The oil carried

vided for two persons, with all the
necessary, considering

Prosperous Season
Ia Sea Food Trade

The fish business of Louisiana has
Just passed through prosperous sea
son and is about to enter upon one
of still greater promise. The supply
Of sea food in local markets has been
abundant, in some cases exceeding the
demand. This is particularly SO of
crabs, the New orleans market being
50 oyerstosked that an effort will
be made to get the Conservation De-
partment to pass regulations in re-
spect Of the sizs of crabs marketed.
Spackled and white trout have been
In the markets in great quantities, but
the demand for this particular fish has
been so great that the supply was not
sufficiently great to meet 1t. The pre-
Ealing price has been $3.50 for a
hand OF thirty pounds. The catch of
fresh water catfish has been large, and
the price of ten cents a pound has
been satisfactory to the fishermen.
Reddish, sheephead and croakers-in
tact, all sorts of fish-have been
abundant.
The oyster season closed May l,
except for local markets, in which the
bivalves are consumed throughout the
year. The crop was the greatest ever
known, -~rrz & sasf'--- - ~
IT, IT, shrimp season =, closed until
August Is, but local markets are still
supplied from the deeper waters of the
gulf, for, as In oysters, the season for
shrimp in Louisiana never closes. The
law prohibits the catching of shrimp
for export outside the limits OF the
state. The outlook for the coming
season Is so prosperous that Gamers
and others expect the enormous
product Of S4,Oo0,oo0 pounds in 1921 to
be exceeded. Prospects for commercial
fresh water fishing were never bet.
