 New YORK, Jan. Many of the outposts of one of baseballs most important territories, the kingdom of swat fell before the on- slaughts of the enemy armies of the dead" ball, changed batting rules and powerful pitching during the 1881 major league baseball sea- son, but the ruler, Babe Ruth, and many of the old favorites held their places.
 New heroes arose in baseball as pitching and base running won favor with the fans.
 Lefty Bob Grove won the great est acclaim during the season with his record breaking mound per- formances that set the pace for the Athletics march to their third straight American league pennant. Grove won 31 games during the campaign, setting a new record for southpaws, and knocked off few other marks as he had only four defeats.
 Chapman best On Bases
 Ben Chapman of the New York Yankees led the base stealing re- vival, pilfering 61 sacks, and the audacious young Pepper Martin of the Cardinals stole most of the worlds series honors with his amazing hitting and base running
 Batting averages in general went down, especially in the National league, where the ball was a trifle slower than in the junior circuit, but Babe Ruth held his own in the clouting campaign. The Babe was among the batting leaders of the American league and tied with his teammate, Lou Gehrig, for first place in the annual home run race with 46 for the season.
 Much of the interest was re- moved from the pennant races when the Athletics and Cardinals established early leads and went on to win almost as they pleased.
 As In Quick Command
 The As just about settled things with an early IT game winning streak, Although Washington's Senators hung grimly on until mid-season. The Yankees came through strongly at the finish to take second place away from Wash ington. The Cardinals had closer pursuit during the early part of the campaign as the Cubs, Giants and Robbins took turns pressing them, but they easily outclassed all rivals
 The worlds series, however, re- vived the tagging interest as the Cards ended the four year reign of the American league and deprived the Athletics of chance to cap ture their third successive worlds championship in a bitter Seven- game battle.
 The amazing performances of Pepper Martin, who boasted that Grove and Earnshaw were just pitchers to him and then made

good his boasts and the gallant pitching of Burleigh Grimes fur nished the high spots of the se- rieS.
 Grimes proved himself a fine and courageous pitcher as he rallied from the defeats of 1880 and won two games and the other mound stars turned in some great per- formances. But to expert observers the outcome of the series was taken as a sign that tight" base ball was coming back and that base hits were becoming as i'm portant as home runs.

Touchdown Gift

To the collection of footballs queerest happenings of 1881, Don McGuire of our Des Moinss staff contributes this one:
 T think it was the shortest re- turn of punt for a touchdown during the seoson, a five-yard run by E. Ronzani, Marquette quarter back.
 Against Drake here Thanksgiy- ing day, Becker, Marquette end, punted, the ball being downed on Drake's five-yard line.
 'sLindstrom, Drake quarterback, bunting from behind his own goal line, got off a weak kick that went crazily to the left and fairly high.
 "Ronzani raced across the field and took the ball on the five yard line directly in front of the goal posts, running unmolested to the touchdown. Marquette won 32 to G."

AMERICAN BALL MARKS BROKEN
 DURING SEASON
f e equency with Which Records Were Shat
 tered Pointed Out
By WILLIAM HARRIDGE

President American Baseball League
 CHICAGO, H., Jan. 7-Just as as it was thought that the time had come when very few baseball records could be broken, American League players stepped out in 1881 and set new marks for the stars of the future to shoot at.
 Lou Gehrig broke his own record by driving in 1894 runs. Lefty Grove was the first left-handed American League pitcher to win more than thirty games in a season and the first pitcher in either major league to win thirty or more games since James Bagby, another American League pitcher, excelled the thirty mark in 1920.
 Two-Bagger Mark
 Earl Webb of Boston set a new two-base hit record by making 67 doubles, or three more than the old record formerly held by George H. Burns, a former American Leaguer.
 Wesley Terrell, Cleveland's sen- sational young pitcher, broke three records. Making nine home runs were new marks for American League pitchers, while Terrell also was the first major league pitcher ever to win twenty games or more in each of his three seasons as a big leaguer.
 l While we American 1eaguers had hoped the Philadelphia Athletics would win the world championship and thus set another world record by giving the American League five and the Athletics three titles in a row, we feel the victory of the Ma tional League champions was an excellent one for the game.
 The general public likes a con- test and the American League champions had been winning the world series too regularly. First the New York Yankees and then the Athletics had been regarded as super teams.
 Even clubs in ou rown league began to believe the Athletics were so strong they could not be beaten. Consequently, the Cardinals did our league a great favor when they vanquished Comic Mack5s pennant winners.
 The American League was well satisfied with the ball which it used in it's championship games in 1881. The only difference between it and the one in 1930 was that coarser thread was employed in the '31 ball, thus raising the seams. The batsmen were handicapped to "a certain extent, but not enough to revolutionize the game.
 More Base Running
 It is my sincere hope there will be more base running in 1892 than there was in 1881. We were very proud of Ben Chapman of the New Tory Yankees during the last sea- son, for the young man from Ala bama stole sixty-one bases, which was a record of recent years.
 Old-fashioned field days with prizes awarded for accurate and long distance throwing. fungo hit ting, circling the bases and hund- red-yard dashes were resumed in the American League in 1881 and proved most interesting to the spectators.
 Although the American League lost the worlds championship, we are proud of the fact that our eighth place White Sox defeated the third place Chicago Cubs in a city series. Under new manage ment and ownership, we expect even better things for the Sox in 1882.

Dissenting Opinion
 On the other hand, I have this ringside view of Dempsey the barn. stormer from the observing MT. George T. McConville of our St. Paul forces:
 T know you are one of the boosters of the old man and if you really like him, keep him away from the younger boys. In the ring here he was just an Old Man who knew how to take care of him. self.
 "Of course he was using 12- ounce gloves, but there didn't seem to be the zip on his punches he had the last time saw him, which was against Billy Miske here years ago. His legs are his legs and they have been toting him around too many years to stand the going.
 The strangest thing about him was he was down on his heels, and when he let a punch go it was just with his arms and shoulders, and none of the old spring back of it.
 ..I'd hate to see him get into the ring with some hard-hitting young fellow with brains enough to stay
