SWATTERS, 30 TODAY. 1f Mr. Charles Holiday Ebbets doesn’t pull.off a celebration today in the City of Churches and Rubber { Plants he will miss a one best bet, for this is the birthday of the Dodger magnate's ball team, John Daubert. True, there are a few other players masquerading in Brooklyn uniforms, but, taken by and large, Mr. Daubert comes pretty near to being the whole works, Jake, as all of us fellers call him, will be thirty today, as he was born in Llewellyn, Pa, May 14, 1886, There may be better first = basemen than Daubert, but you could never make a Brooklyn fan belleve it, and when it comes to pasting the pellet— well, Jake has led the National league regulars for two annums. Daubert's batting average last yéar was. .329, |hlu closest rival for the circuit’s swatting honors being Becker of the Phillies and his teammates, Wheat, Dalton and Stengel. Of the five leading batters in the old leaguelast year, four of them had Brooklyn blazoned on their buzzums. Spite o’ that, the Superbas finished fifth, and during a largé part of the season contested for the cellar champlonship. In 1913, among the players participat- ing in more than a hundred ‘games, Daubert led the league with an aver- age of .350. Some swatter is Jake, “1Comes“Torough With Viclory After j/1¥n won by a score of 3 to 2 in 1 hour flag is the Giants and against the day ‘that McGraw’s charges find them- selves He ls driving his team ahead. He wants to seét'a mark for the Giants ithat. will keep them hustling up to the) close of the campdign. Then it the Braves are not leading the way when the final curtain is rung he will have ho regretsiand can say unreser- vedly that he did his best and the best team won. George does not be- lieve in accident or luck. His opinion of a pennat winning team is one which plays the game for ' ‘all it is worth at all times and possesses suf- ficient ‘“pep” to fearry it through a long, grueling campaign. and if he was on a club that had the pennant; winning habit he would be : hailed as about the greatest ever, Daubert got his professional base- | ball start with Mekriden, in the Ohio and Pennsylvania league; inn 1907, when he was twenty-two. He had had & little previous experience in a fiy~ by-night circuit ‘which had 'disbanded after a month or two. The big six- foot-one busher looked good to the Cleveland management and the Naps | swapped Scotty Ingerton for him, but Jake was not given a chance to shine in fast company. In 1908 he was turned over to the Nashville ‘club of the Southern lJeague for further ripen- ing. He did so nicely in Dixie that he was recalled by Cleveland, but in 1909 he was sold to the Toledo Amer~ ican association club.. Jake didn’t endear himself to the Toledo manage- ment, and he was sent back to. the Southern circuit, and finished the 1909 season with Memphis. ‘While he batted only .186 with Toledo, Jake recovered ‘his swatting eye in the South and hung up an average of .814, Toledo soon had cause to re- gret the sale of Daubert to Memphis, [for in 1910 he was sold to Brooklyn, and leaped into almost instant popu- larity as one of the' great first sackers and star basemen of the National league. Daubert was given a regular berth at first from the beginning of his Brooklyn career, and spent little time raising the temperature of the benches. - He batted .264 his first year with the Ebbets aggregation, but ever since he has traveled in .300 company, batting .307 fn 1911, .308 In 1913 and .329 in 1914. In 1812 he led the National league first basemen in flielding, and he has always been among the top-notchers in that de- partment, There have been speedier sackers than Daubert, and men cap- able of more brilliant grand stand plays, but for steady, plugging, re: liable, dependable work Jake at his best has to take nobody's dust, He has been handicapped in his career by being with a club which, since he joined it. has never finished out of the second division. Jake doesn't let that bother him, but just keeps plug- ging away, doing. his best and turn- ing a deaf ear to counsels of' dis- couragement. WITHINGTON 18 THROUGH.
