SISLER STRIVES
FOR BAT RECORD

New York, Sept George Sis
Ter Of the st. Louis Browns mot
only has been throwing all Of his
energy into the fight to win the
championship for his team this
year, but he has been putting forth
every effort to lead his league in
batting and base Stealing and also
to surpass the batting record of
Ty Cobb.
Figuring his chances, beginning
with this week, he has the POSSIBLE
ity left to win out but 1t will take
top-notch Baseball from now until
the last game is played. He must
gain about seven or eight points in
batting, and to do that in the last
four weeks OF season is usually
accounted to be lot harder than
to gain something in the early part
of the year because the pitchers
are supposed to have improved with
the ripening of the schedule.
II Sisler could average two hits
to game in four times at bat he
would be likely to realize his ambi,
ton. The statement that he would
get there if he received large
number of bases on balls hardly
describes the situation right
Whenever he is given base or
balls he is exempt q time at bat
but if he were to be exempt all O
his times at bat from now unit
the end of the year and did no
make any more base hits he woult
simply stagnate. 1t is all RICH
enough to have few times at ba
, exempted, but there must be SOM
hits in order to produce a battin,
average.
The Cobb hero worshippers, o
| whom there are plenty, figure tina
I, Ty will get through the season il
the lead because he plays at hom
for the last three weeks. However
that is not much Of an argumen
when the same thing applies to Sis
Ter. Cobb, however, has done wei
enough to warrant the scattering o
a few sprigs of laurel over his ba
bag. He has kept up in the top Q
the fight despite all Of the years h
has put in at baseball, and SO ia

Ottumwa by losing to the Island

one-half games ahead Of Marshall

games in the lead when the first
half of the season ended, so no one
is disputing their right to cham

apart from the trend of contest in

Many have been watching this ex-
traordinary player with this ques-
ton in mind and think they have
found the answer in the manner in
which the champion conducts his
matches. He has become more
parsimonious of energy than he
used to be. The unceasing and
lavish expenditure of physical eff
fort which marked his play in past
years is now reserved for signifi-
cant moments.
This may be evidence of waning
stamina, but on the other hand is
just as likely to be newly devised

the master of more strokes than
any man playing, he can still in

Giues "A. E. Smith bf Rock Island
Second Arsenal Club Golf Title
Ri LES ZIFFREN.

In one OF the most thrilling
matches ever held on the Arsenal
course, Arthur E. Smith, Rock Isl
land, won the championship OF the
Rock Island Arsenal Golf club, for
the second time in three years, by
defeating Willard L. Velie, Jr., Mo-
line, l up 36 holes, Saturday.
Smith by his great nerve and abil-
ity to recover lost ground, won the
championship. At the beginning of
the 18th hole in the first round,
Smith was down to Velie, but by
steady playing. the champion low
cred the great handicap to one.
In the mornings play Velie was
playing wonderful golf. On the
second hole, which is a. par 5 and
DOGGY 6, the runner up made in
three for an eagle. The tenth hole,
which is Gil yards, Velie scored in
four. These are only a few exam
pies of his play. The afternoon
round kept the large gallery fol-
lowing the match, on their toes at
all times. Smith played superb
golf, making wonderful approaches
and sinking many long puts. Both
players we're great in the pinches,
the newly crown champion espe-
cially. Smith tied the first and won
the second hole. Then started the
best finals in the championship
fight ever played on the Arsenal
course. The match was anybody's
until the last hole had been played.
Velie lost his chance to send the
match to extra holes by missing
his putt on the seth hole, which
Smith tied after winning the 36th
hole. On the last hole Velie did
not get a good drive, driving just
in front of the road. His approach
went four feet past the pin. Smith,
after having "a fair drive dubbed
his approach, just getting on the
green. His first putt, he laid a few
feet past the hole. . Velie had his
chance to win the hole, but missed
his putt, making four. The
champion, measuring his distance
carefully, sent the ball rolling
straight for the hole. Velie lost
the championship on that eventful
putt.
