KEELER'S DEATH
REMOVES GREAT
HITTER OF PAST
Wee Willie Was Small, but
Mighty-Brought Place
Hitting Into Game.
By United Ne1s

By United Netos =,
NEW YORK, Jan. @.-"Wee Willie
Keller, the famous old-time outf1elder
Of the Baltimore Orioles. Brooklyn
Superbas and New York Hlghlanders,
lied at his home in Brooklyn on New
Years. Day at the age Of so. Heart
allure and pulmonary trouble caused
MS death.
Keller was the man who first
adopted a system OF "hittin EN- where
hey amt" and It waNhe who coined
that picturesque phra& to account for
his pro igious feat OF hitting safely IN
forty-one consecutive games while
with Baltimore Keeler's greatest
batting average for a season was .432.
Wee Willie was a member OF the
orioles in the time of John McGraw
who played third base; Hughey Jen-
nings. who was the shortstop, and
Wilbert Robinson, then a catcher. Joe
Kelly and Brodie were the wee ones
fellow laborers in the outfeld and Ned
Hanlon was skipper Of the club.
When Hanlon became manager of
the Superbas, he took Keller with
him to Brooklyn, where Willie had
first felt the feel Of a ball in his hands
on the sand lots of Flatbush. Later
Keller jumped to the Highlanders
when the American League was or
gained. being lured to the right side
Of the stream by Clarke Griffith.
1t was Keelers tiny physique which
compelled him to invent the art of
placement hitting which has since be
come one OF the very rudiments of
batting.

VINCENNES. Ind. Jan. Can
Vincennes High School repeat the
great basket )an record which it hung
up in Indiana State athletic annals
last season.
COACHES and fans last season de
clared il was a record never 70 be
beaten. So far as the number Of
games Is concerned, IL will not, for
the Vincennes team this season has
Topped of one-third Of last seasons
schedule, which probably accounted
for the defeat Of the Green and White
aggregation IN the State tourney last
year.
Under the tutelage OF Coach John
Adams. the team has gone through
ffty-one games in the two seasons
and has dropped Just one game-that
to Bloomington in the State tourney
last March.
The Alices won thirty-eight games
that season and lost the thirty-ninth
This year saw Adams lose what was
generally considered the backbone OF
his offense. Red" Wampler. the 1875
pound forward who last year alone
came within four points OF registering
as many points as was scored on Vim
cennes in the thirty-nine games. was
lost Hoffman, the running guard,
and Theobald, the star center. were
graduated
Around Jones. the Gimbelist winner
OF last year, and this years captain,
and Johnny Wolfe. the fast forward,
Adams has built team which so far
this season appears TO be equally as
fast and well balanced as last years
five.
Jones is Mainstay
Jones has developed wonderfully. A
giant in stature. he is making whirl-
wind floor man and lends absolute con-
fidence to the youngsters whom
Adams has to use as the balance Of
\ the team. A tower Of strength on the
defense. Jones is also an offensive
player. His dribbles have won games
and he can be depended upon to make
goals when defeat looms
Critics Of Vincennes complained last
year that Vincennes' schedule did not
list the strongest teams in the State.
This criticism would not hold water
for Vincennes twice defeated Bloom
ington, Martinsville. Bedford, Column
aus and Garfield Of the strongest State
coatenders.
This year It was easier for Adams
20 schedule strong teams. To date
tae Alices have faced Anderson. Leb-
anon, Bedford. Martinsville, Franklin,
Columbus and jefferson of Lafayette.
All these teams have been taken into
camp. All victories have been on the
Vincennes floor with the exception Of
e double defeat registered against Co
fzmbus. January and February viii
zee the A1ices on the road, with return
games with each Of the above save
Jefferson, two games with Blooming
ten and a game with Technical Of In
dianapoHs, two with Evansville and
one with Wiley Of Terre Haute.
"The best thing that could happen
10 vincennes would be several defeats
on her home f1oor-that was the rea-
son she was defeated last year" This
is the statement being made by out
side coaches, referees, and sport
writer's.
Adams does not believe this Over
confidence never seized a Vincennes
team during any stage of the strenu-
Gus season last year-never has it
this.
