W have little difficulty in figuring qut which clyb has the better \ batters, the better fielders, the hetter hase ruppers, the hetter pitchers, and all that. But no man can say which team will have ths better luck. And that is preciscly why nohody pesitively knows in ad: vance where the world championship flag will fiy. All the ohtginahle figures proved the Cubs of 19& to be better than the White Sox, hut the Sox won four games of six.

Fqr the sixth consecutive season Rogers Hornsby, St. Louis mana- 4 ger, led the National League in batting, finishing 1925 with a ptrccntiqe of 403. This is the third time that Hornsb) has hit over .40, tying the records of Ty Cobb, with Detmn, in 1911, 1912 apd 1922, and Jesse Burkett, with Cleveland Nationals, in 1895 and 1896, and St. Louis Na- tionals in 1901. If Hornsby leads the Icague the next three years running he will tie the record of Ty Cobb, who led the American League nine consecutive years, from 1907 to 1915. Hornsby's ayerage for the six years is 397, compared to .396 for Ty Cobb during the latter’s best six years. Rogers also led the league in home-run hitting, with 39 circuit clouts, falling 3 short of his own Nationa] League record of 42. Ingi- dentally, this raised Hornsby’s lifetime homer mark to 180, 6 less than Cy Williams, who has made 186 since his National Lugue drbm Lead- ership in total bases on hits went to Hornshy also. ¢ St. Lauis slug- ger amassed a total of 389 bases. Hazen Cuyler, fast Pirate outficlder, talfied the most runs, 144, 3pd also showed the way in making three-haggers, with 26. Jim Bottomley, St. Louis, rapped out the most hits, 227, being yun- ner-up_to his teammate, Hornsby, in batting. Wheat's Double Lead. former on the mound during the cur- home toward the plate and the Glants’ bench. But luck sald no. Young walked, Kelly fanned and Meusel grounded out. In the last of the twelfth, with the score still tied and one out, Rugl, weakest batter of the series, liffed a foul to Gowdy. That should have made the second out. But Hank step- ved into his own mask and dropped the ball. Ruel then doubled. John- son reached first on Jackson's error. McNeely, next at bat, hit toward third, Just es Harris had done in the eighth, and again when Lindstrom reached for the ball it hopped gleefullv over his head, and Ruel came home with Washington's first championship of the world, A dropped foul fly and two hops by batted balls discounted all the forecasts of all the wise men. Collapse of Nehf. Or go back to 1923. The Yankees had won three games and the Glants two. The Glants were headed toward victory in the sixth game, leading 4 to 1 at the end of the seventh.
