Billy Southworth, the 1929 selection, is carrying on with the help of Charley Gelbert, his own hand-picked | shortstop. ST. LOUIS, May 25.—The charm of changing managers every year and winning still clings to the St. Louis Cardinals. In 1928 when the Red Birds started out with their third pilot in three seasons and made a go of it, the fans were giving Bill Mc- Kechnie the credit. This year with McKechnie gone, a victim of the housecleaning that followed the Cardinals’ miserable world series showing, a new man is © mg with the club what all of his Jecessors did. Biiy Southworth, called by the men who play under him “Billy The Kid," is the leader. There's no mystery about that and also none about why he knows how to run a ball club. {ALL STARTERS SHARE SPEEDWAY REWARDS drivers in the seventeenth annual 500-mile automobile race May 30 at the Indianapolis motor speed- Fifty thousand dollars will be divided among the first 10 drivers to finish.

De ASSISTANT'S BODY | / | back over five seasons where he hit for better than an ! Sisler came withjn two points of doing the same thing but the best of By ALAN J. GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor) It doesn't take much browsing among the succulent statistics to dis- cover who's who in the batting annals of major league baseball. Like rock-bound beacons in a swirling sea of figures, the achieve- ments of the Big Three stand out—Ty Cobb, with his surpassing all-time records; Babe Ruth, with his long range accomplishments; and Rogers Hornsby, with his fine all-around performances. There are other names, of course, in the main list. Old Pop Anson, | Jesse Burkett and Willie Keeler still hold firm, here and there in the| record books. Hans Wagner’s great achievements, many of which have been eclipsed by Hornsby, still reflect glory upon the ancient Dutchman. The metcoric flash of George Sisler left its evidence in the record books. But Cobb, Ruth and Hornsby have set up the big bulk of targets left for the up and coming sharpshooters to fire at. Cobb's life-time marks, including his record of 23 consecutive years over .300 and his 24-year-average of .367, look about as immovable as Gibraltar. Hornsby, after 14 years of battering National league pitch- ing, has a figure of .361. Rogers is 10 years younger than Cobb, now in retirement at the age of 42. Granted the same powers of endurance as the great Georgian, Hornsby has the best chance of anyone to attack Cobb’s all-time mark. But 10 years more at close to a .370 clip is ask- ing a jugful of any performer in this rapid-fire era, even for one of the taciturn Texan's acknowledged powers. Hornsby, no matter how much longer he swings along the trail with the leaders, has a five-year mark that tops them all. | The Rajah is the only batter in big league history who can look erage of .400. At the height of his career with the St. Louis Cardinals, from 1921 | through 1925, Hornsby averaged approximately .402, stringing together | marks of .397, .401, .384, 424 and 403 as he outdistanced all clubbing | opposition. | The nearest Ty Cobb ever came to touching this spectacular pace | was from 1910 to 1913, inclusive, when the Georgia Peach shot along at an average clip of .401, but his best five-year mark, taking in his 1909 ayerage of .377, amounts to .396—six points below Hornsby. Burkett and Keeler, of the Old Guard, hitched together three con- secutive seasons for an average of better than .400. Ed Delehanty and them all, ancient and modern, failed to strike a five-year stride to com- paré with Hornsby's. Philadelphia 10; Washington 3.
