ords were tied by Cobb.
BY batting better than 800 Cobb
equaled the record of Hans Wagner,
who for II seasons, topped that
figure.
In making more than 200 base
hits, he equaled the record of Will
lie Keeler, who for eight seasons,
beat that mark.
BY batting better than 400 Cobb
equaled the feat Of Jesse Burkett.
who, for three seasons, recorded a
400 or better average.
Cobb's record, in a way, is more
remarkable than Burkett's, since
the foul strike rule was not in eff
feet when Burkett was in the game.
However, the ball today is much
livelier than the one Burkett hit at.
Rogers Hornsby, by getting three
hits in five times at bat in the last
game, finished the season a trife
better than 400.
Not since 1899 has eny National
League player batted over 400. In
that year Ed Delehanty with the
[ Philadelphia Nationals had a mark
Of .408. +
Only eight National League play
ers since the inception of that organ
ization have batted better than 400
The showing Of the Boston Red
Sox against the New York Yankees
during 1922 Is proof positive of the
uncertainties of the National pas
time.s
New York won the pennant in the
American League. Boston finished
last, yet the Red Sox team was the
only club to win the series from the
American League pennant winners,
Boston taking IS of the % games.
Joe Bush. who by his great pitch
ing, materially assisted New York
in winning the American League
pennant, also has a grievance
against the Red Sox.
Bush won rs games and lost only
z, yet five of the seven games that
he lost were won by Boston.
Another unusual series was the
one staged between the Detroit
Tigers and the Chicago White Sox.
Inability to beat Chicago was one
Of the big reasons why the Detroit
club had to be content with third
place. Chicago won IT out of the %
games player with the Tigers.
Another incident decidedly out of
the ordinary was the feat of the
young college pitcher, Pruett, of the
ST. Louis Browns, who struck out
Babe Ruth nine times during the
season.
The game in which the Chicago
Cubs beat the Phillies 26 to 23 will
live long in the records of baseball
as one of the greatest of suggests.

A CLOTHING TRUST.

The American Woolcn co. Is an ex-
tended trust or combination OF wool
en- mills The Consolidated Textile co.
is an extended combination Of cotton
mills. The power or influence Of each
over the trade In either field has been
great. but such competition as had eX-
isted between the two Industries re-
manned unimpaired. Now the chief
officials Of the Woolen Trust have be-
come the chief directing officials Of
the cotton combination and the power
or influence which either had over its
own field in abating the forces Of
competition will now extend over
practically the whole textile industry
OF the country.
This combination Of cloth and cloth
Ing trusts follows hard upon the en-
actment of the Fordney- -McCumber
tariff as the WOolen Trust followed
the Dingley tariff. They largely die
tated the extortionate wooden and
cotton schedules Of the new tariff
They can profit more certainly and
fully from those schedules by Joint
effort than by individual effort. and Il
is fair To infer that this is the reason
Z for combining.
