 Chicago, June 13 - GU. Po - Charles J. Hafey. be-spectacled out fielder of the St Louis Card inals, nosed out William H. Terry, New York Giants first baseman, for the batting championship of the National League last year, by margin as slender as the silhouette of an adolescent eel.
 When the final re .ognings were complete. Hafey was declared the winner with an average of .34S9 ns against Terry's .23486. This tender difference was very costly to Terry, robbing him as 1t did of the glory of leading his league in hitting and what is more important, a strong talking point when tho little mat ter of salaries for 1882 was broach- cd.
 But did Terry ask for a recount? Did he take leaf from the politi- clans handbook and demand a thorough going g-over of the facts and figures? He did not. He took one look at the final standings and let it go at that. For ball players, as well as the hundreds of thou sands of customers who follow the game, have come to accept the statistics as the last word in &C., curacy and fairness. and you sell dom, if ever, hear them question ed.
 Allof which is q roundabout way of approaching our subject for to- day-Mister Al Munro Elias. As the official statistician for the National, International, Eastern and a dozen or more lesser leagues, Mister Elias and his gang will deal with more figures in month than Ziegfeld, Carroll and White, do in lifetime. And to Mister Elias his dry and dusty figures are just as interesting and appealing as are their very sweet numbers to the showmen.
 And basel ebalPs figures are just as important to the game us the little figures who run up and down the runway and prance across the stage, are to the musical comedy business. For those row after row | of figures you see in the newspa- pers 4orm the skehon framework which supports baseball and gives | 1t life.
 Of course, Mister Elias does not do all the work alone, but 1t is he. and he alone, who checks and re- | checks, counts and re-counts. all the statistics put together by his | staff.
 For Brother Elias is a trihe daffy on the subject of accuracy. When he says left handed pitcher in the Northeast Mississippi Kerosene Circuit by the name of Gus Gutten- heimer. is hitting .1432, you may wager your last sou that Gutten- heimer is knocking the old apple at just that figure.
 There are just two kinds ol statistics. Al will tell you. "Accu- rate statistics and worthless statis- tics. There is no middle groove You might go even further than than and [. say that inaccurate fig ures are worse than worthless. for thousands of folks depend on them for information, believe them. and are misled. If couldn't get my hg- ures right--so right would stake my life on 'em-~Pd rather drive a laundry truck. which. understand, is very tirlng work"
 II is probably just as well that AT Is snch a fanatic on accuracy.
