Batting Record Of Majors
Is .492, Held by Jimmy
O'Neill, But Made When
Base on Balls and Hit
Batsmen Were Counted as
Base-hits.
BY the Associated Press.

New York, Oct. 25.-Analysis OF
the batting performances of Babs
Ruth this season discloses that the big
slugger compiled one of the most re-
markable records, perhaps the greatest.
in major league history, despite the
fact that he failed to lead the Amerl-
can League hitters and was only able
to tie Cy Williams of the Phiilles,
for the home-run leadership, with ii
circuit blows, Is behind TIN, world rec
ord he set in 1921.
The complete record of the Babe,
however, and the story of his versa
tile greatness-the work that earned
him the crown of the most valuable
American League player-show him
as the big star of the year. And to
prove the real merit of his perform
ance, it. is necessary only to compare
his work with that Of men IN other
haIcyon days of the diamond.
The best hitting mark now recorded
in the baseball books is 1872, made by
James L. O'Neill, while playing with
the st. Louis team of the old Ameri-
can Association, back in 1887. In at
tanning that high mark, ONeill was
aided by the rules Of that year, which
provided that. bases on balls should
be figured as base hits; also that when
q batter was hit by pitched ball he
was charged with time at bat and
credited with base hit. Even with
those advantages, O'Neill must have
been a great hitter. Yet it is certain
that many bases on balls figured in
the compilation of O'Neill's .492 mark.
Unofficial records for the 1923 sea-
son show that Babe Ruth participated
in the entire schedule of the Yam
KEGS, 152 games, record in itself
for Ruth. These figures also show
that he was at bat $40 officials
times; that he scored 151 runs and
made 205 hits. giving him a batting
average of 1874.
In addition to this remarkable bat
ting average, Ruth was passed by
American League pitchers Ill times.
If these were figured as base hits
was the case with O'Neill's record.
they would give Ruth total of gu
times at bat and 376 hits for batting
average of IA, or 80 points better
than the record of the old st. Louis
slugger.
Another phase of Ruth's work as
batsman which undoubtedly created
new major league record was the
number of times he reached first base
during the 1923 season. In addition
to his 205 hits and III passes there
were other times when he got on
either by forcing runner, a fi'lderS
choice. by being hit by pitched ball
or through an error. Their total shows
that Ruth reached first base an aver
age of three times in each of the 152
games during tn, season.

ENGLISH ARE STIRRED
Opposed to Plan to Initiate British
Currency.
By HAL O'FLAHERTY.
Special Cable TO The San Antonio Light
and the Chicago Daily News.
Copyright, 1898.


London, Oct. 24.-Complete details
of a plan to initiate British currency
were published in the Daily Mail to-
day, together with a fervent appeal
for action to prevent its adoption.
London bankers, however, defend
ing their position, declared that while
some economists believed the process
of deflation should be stopped. neither
the Bank Of England nor any private
concern entertain any idea of debas-
ing the pound sterling.
According TO the Mail story an
economic committee has recommended
that the treasury abandon its idea OF
debating the currency to 1914 ba-
sis; that il Immediately increase the
stock of legal tender by f25,0O0O0O
and that it later issue another flJ.-
100000 using the funds to supply in
dustrialists with capital for develop
ment work.
The principal reason for initiation
lies in the demand for relief by the
unemployed, but many experts argue
that a policy of initiation would ruin
British credit. no matt.r how eau
