CHICAGO, Sept. 19.—(By The Associated Press.)— | The ba se on balls, stolen bases, sacrifice hits and squeeze play, a formula that catapulted the Chicago White Sox into lasting fame as the “hitless wonders of 1906,” no longer wins many bafM games. In these days of the lively ball, it takes a hitting club to flirt with a pennant. <2 2 Se PANEL [SES GRIDIRON STARS are on their last legs. Washington, winner of the American league flag, Team To Suffer From Scholastic Failures and the Pirates, in the National league are topping the league In club batting, The world’s champion Senators ate trayeeing at a .305 clip with the ‘Athletics, runners up, second with 104 and St. Louis, fighting to hold place in the race, third with ,303.

Little is said about this but the melancholy fact remains and the only bright aspect of the situation is that it goes to prove what many critics of col- lege sport are inclined to overlook, or ignore, that after all the educa- tional institutfons of the lIand—in large part at least—are chiefly tn- terested in education. ! Among the basestealers. Johnny Mos- 1 of the White Sox continues to show the way with thirty-eight. Other leading batters: H. Rice, St. Louis, 363; Wingo, Detroit, 368; Sis- lor, St. Loufs, 361; Lamar, Philadel- phia .349; J. Sewell, Cleveland, 347; Collins, Chicago, 347; Comb, New York, 345; Hale Philadelphia .345. Rogers Hornsby of the Cardinals, National leagug champion hitter is due to repeat for 1925, Hé lacks only eight points of reaching the 400 mark. Along with the St, Louls star, comes his first baseman, Jimmy Bot- tomley, who is runner-up with .373, 2. position he likely will retain, Most of the regulars in the league failed to show any improvement in their avergre: but “Stuffy’ Mor Innis of the Pirates and Schultz and Bressler of C incinnati, did well, the trio hitting for .370, .360 and .351, respectively. However, they have participated in less than 100 games. Jack Fournier of the Dodgers is in third place in hitting with .355, one point in front of the veteran Zack Wheat, a teammate. Hazen Cuyler and Max Carey, the speedy Pirate pair, are engaged in a fféree tussle for the base stealing : ading with 87, two in front of his teammate. Hornsby smashed out his thirty- seventh homer, and appears to be ready to be crowned the 1925 home run king of sluggers- now seems Borah says La Follette won his fight fairly and is entitled to elec- tion, He is likely to have seven op- ponents.

As a result the hitters have felt the effects of a better class of pitching. Payne of Wichita took a nite point set back, but is heading the procession with .372. Bliss of St Jospeh dropped five notches, but con- tinues as the runnerup with .366, Osborn of Omaha is ‘still holding third place with .363. Hock of Oklahoma City with 51 thefts is trailing Gorman of Denver, who is showing the way to the base stealers with 52. The triple tie for home run hon- ors was shot to pieces when McNally of Oklahoma City smashed out three | cireult blows, for a total of 30 Payne of Wichita has 29, and Griggs of Omaha 28.

For this city, Bost the town that produced the greatest world’s series*teamg in the history of the American league and th. prising team of the halt ex the National league, wallows about In the baseball basement. And little light comes in through the cellar windows. Boston fans cannot see the justice in this. Time was when the Red Sox reigned supreme. Five times, over a span of 15 years did a Boston team land on top in the American league race, And not once was the cham- Pionship team beaten in the world’s series that followed. This record has never been threatened. Connie Mack has emerged victor three times from the fall classic but twice has he suf- fered defeat, John McGraw has led his team in- to nine world’s series and six times has come out on the little end of the score. Four times has Chicago had a Natidnal league entry in the ser- ies but only twice did the team win. And now this city of Boston sees the Red Sox once more floundering about, still headed for nowhere, due to lack of playing material more than lack of leadership.
