The Kanawhas found the going
rough during the first three quar-,

battle, but In the final stanza the
winners slowly pulled away to a
safe lead mainly through the
sparkling work of Goldblatt.

IN the National League during the
season OF 1926. according to official
figures released today. The veteran
Outfielder played in 107 games and
his total OF 191 bases gave him
smuggling average of 500. He batted
In SO runs. He collected 3S bases on

lies for DOde Paskert, and has
been with them ever since.
IN 1920 williams hit for 800 for
the first time. reaching 1925 in 148
games. For the last two years eff
forts have been made to displace
him with younger and faster men,
but his sterling stickwork has kept
him in the IimeIight. Last spring
he sat on the bench and watched
several youngsters fail before he
was called upon. Then, in LOT games
he splashed out 116 hits, including
~ two baggers, a triples and is home
runs, averaging .3452, and emitting
himself to fourth place among the
National League batsrnen. He is ex-
pected to be the regular center
fielder for Stuffy McInnis next sea-
son.
Only three batsmen in the old cir
cult drove in 100 or more runs. Jim
BOttomley, of the world champion
St. Louis Cardinals, topped them all
with 40 runs in 154 games. Hack
