PORT Y The Baseball Reporter dropped in at Bill’'s Place with the general idea of putting away a couple of tall, dark ones. . His system had just absorbed & July double-header and he carried a_ thirst which batted .546. In ad- dition to whigh, just at that moment, he didn't mind talking baseball any more than a soldier after completing in the first line trenches minds re-entering the same after a twenty-minute rest. Fine Chance. In addition to-the two tall, ' dark ones, the weary B. R.'was highly de- sirous of finding a place to rest and mediate upon some light topic apart from baseball ,and double-headers-— such as the European War “or the Decline of Civilization. He had ‘a fine chance. One and one-quarter-minutes after he had ar- rived they had him in an argument up to his.neck. Few:arguments of any kind evér get much ‘higher. When they do, the argument ends abruptly in the knowledge that the best any bloke can ever get in &n ar- gument is a shade the worst of it, or possibly a tle. * But the. B. R. had to stick in the debate or leave his thirst.quencher. His feet were willing but his throat | was week. . Picking the N. L. King. The debaters had agreéd' that Ty Cobb was the best all around ball player in the 'American League— which was a_wonder, even under- standing just -how good Cobb is. But picking the star contender in the National League had been another matter. Among those nominated were Herzog, of the Reds; Cravath, of the Phillies;—Jake Daubert of the Dodgers; Doyle, Burns and Merkle, of the Giants; Evers and Maranville, of the .Braves; Jack Miller of the Cardinals; Hans ‘Wagner, of the Pirates, and some ten or twelve others But no one player had any two votes —which shows about how unanimous the award was. LIGHT Grantland Rice So they-put it up to the Baseball Reporter. Another Choice. “Well,” said the B. R., “what's the matter with Vie Saler?” He got what might be called the hoarse hoot right away. “Vic Sajer?” queried a heavy-set bloke with a crimson frontpiece-— “where doés this busher..come in against such people as Larry Doyle, Cactus Cavath, Jake Daubert or Honus Wagner? Cheese for him.” Enter V. Saler, “T'll tell you where he comes in,” answered the B. R. “Through the following doors—vis.: “1 Saler has scored more runs than any other man in the National Lea- gue. “3 The records show he has also driven in more than any other. “3. He is tied with Carey for the lead in stolén bases. “4. He has hit for a greater total of bases than Ty Cobb, with 157, against 151. “5. He hag batted for more extra bases than Sam Crawford, with seventy one, against sixty. “6. He leads his league in two-base ‘hits, in three-base hits and is second to Cravath in homeé runs, “7. In addition to this remarkable showing on offensive, he is a fine first baseman-—one of the best.” Almost a Draw. In the wake of these figures the B. R. almost obtained a draw—which is one under par in all baseball ar- guments, The point which made the argument close was that Saiér had pagsed Cobb in tothl bases secured by use of the bludgeon and had pas- sed Sam Crawford in extra bases se- cured with the séme, round, blunt in- strument. For Cobb, with his keen eve and rare speed, and Crawford, with his mighty Wallop, are generally far in front at their specialties and no one had figured the quiet, retiring Worker on the Cubs even close to thelr class. Another Entry, Vic Saler isn't the only first base- Man in the N. L. deserving of high indorsement. There is, for another Instance, Mr, F. Merkle, of the Giants. After a thorny start, which is now ancient history, Merkle fought his Way back and did star work in 1911, When he was a big factor in Glant Success. After 1912 his play began to wane a bit and by 1914 'he was tagged and labelled for the bench by about 23,000 grandstand managers Who figured the Toledo boy all in. After slipping in 1913 and slipping further in 1914, few had any ldeu that he had still another comeback Packed away in his willowy system. But Merkle has courage as well' as brains and ability. He not only Pounded his way back in 1915, but he has been one of the stars of the campaign—one of the mast valuable portions of McGraw's struggling ma- chine. His batting eye has ranged between .320 and .330 all year—he has been a timely hitter—and his play around first has been both con- sistént and brilliant. In place of being his last and worst—1916 so far has been his greatest year. Alantic-Pacific Lawn Tennis, The Eastern lawn tennis selection dispatched to the Pacific Coast is highly desirous of a change for re- venge—upon Eastern sod, While the showing made by the Eastern contingent was disappoint. ing—it followed expected lines. No matter where the intersectiondl match might be played nor what star men the East might enter—it is ‘highly improbably that any four in America —or anywhere else—could be found capable of beating McLoughlin, John- ston, Murray and Strachan—the star pick of the Western coast. Mc- Loughlin, as great as he is, is only a short stride beyond his California mates—and the four together, as a team, are about as invincible as in- vincibility, in sport, ever gets to be. The under-dogs of war are loose. Boston rose from the rut last season and now comes Brooklyn, another cellar habitue, with a flag spun drive from the basky dell. As related before anything can hap- pen in sport. Alexander has been beaten four times in only a little over three months. Cincinnati . . 82 427 Games Today. St. Louis at New York.
