Esky Clarke, who finished up

ball as q Harvard center last
fall, was q remarkable young
man. He had to work his way
through college and, in addi-
ton to having time for foot
ball, had the responsibility Of
q husband and father from the
freshman year on. His daugh-

HITTING BETTER
THANFOURTEEN
YEARS AGO
BY FREDERICK G. LIEB.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2B.-The writ
or had occasion the other day to
look over a Baseball Guide for 1910.
and we were startled at the batting
averages Of 1909. There were only
sixteen men in the two major
leagues hitting better than 800, and
Of these sixteen, four played in less
than thirty games. Only one Ma
tional Lacquer hit better than 800
and that was Hans Wagner.
In view Of all the discussion today
about too much hitting, 1t Is In

How many are planning to 20

Or to Charleston, w. Va?
How many will 60 to Column

In other words, Of what value

Ecity in these columns?
Were Washington and Lees

! be said at greater length when
ever Coach De Hart yanked one
lad out Of hte line and substituted
another. We might later see how
the substitute performed.
But, inasmuch as few of my
readers are going to see the

likely to care for columns about
