Although the Bengal virler was in frequent holes there- {ter, he managed to squirm out with- | ut allowing further scoring, and the Highlanders lost the final game of the ieries by a score of 4 to 2.

Ty partially htoned for his failure to hit in the wo previous games by banging out wo singles and a double. Bush, how- bver, was the batting star of the af- ernoon, getting two triples and a kingle in four attempts.

Miller, Peck pnd Baker featureq with the hickory for the Hignlanders, Miller’s first hit being responsible for his team’s only runs.

'PLAYERS DRAFTED Uses His First Curve Ball : BY MAJOR LEAGUES Connie Mack Draws Largest Num- ber—Yanks and Giants Claim Few | Cincinnati, Sept. 16.—Seventy-four | minor league players were drafted by the major leagues at the meeting of the national baseball commission and representativ of every major leaguc club here yesterday. Of this number the American league obtained for seven and the National twenty-seven. These latter fisures do not signify that the American league was proportion- ately more lucky in the draw than the National, bu that President John- son’s organization had in a large ma- | jority of the drafts, the Philadelphia Americans alone making an effort to obtain twenty-six youngsters through this method of procedure. Of the twenty-six that Connie Mack attempted to get twelve were forth- coming to him when the drawing of lots had been completed. He was sur- passed, however, by the Chicago Am- ericans, who obtained fourteen pla ers. Next in point of number came the Cleveland Americans and the Chi- cago Nationals with seven each, while the New York Americans five. Cincinnati, Brooklyn, and the St. Louis' Americans each obtained four, while Detroit, Boston Nationals, | and Pittsburgh came away with three each. The New York Nationals, St. ! Louis Nationals, Philadelphia Nation- als, and Washington each received two | while the Boston Americans retired | ! from the meeting room at the end | of the draw without a single player. That the minor league field has been picked over rather thorough for good material through the process of ! purchase, was indicated by the fact that in no individual case was there an exceptionally keen competition, | the majority of the players being | drafted by a single club. The Cleve- land club originally drafted Haas of | Wilkesbarre, but waived their draft on him, and he was obtained by the Chicago Americans. The same thing happened to McTigue of Toronto, who was originally drafted by the York Nationals, but went to the Chi- cago Nationals when New York can- celleq its draft. When the official list was compiled late yesterday it was discovered that the Philadelphia Americans had ob- tained Schauer from Louisville; that the Cleveland ciub obtained Dickerson from Dotham, and th Flannagan had gone to the Chic; Nationals from Muscatine, Tows The commission decided !Vht' world ser tickets proposition to | Chairman Herriman. If, on Sept. 21. Chairman Herriman believe t would be wise to have the tickets printed in order to save time, he was given the power to notify the management of the three teams who are then leading in the two races, the National and American leagues, that they were privileged to have the tickets printed.

Chase back in batting to the top adds { the general New | Among other hectic features con- nected with the national frenzy, it might be just as well not to overlook L. crest. At th no less than writing there are | seven sons of swat who have a chance to pick up where Larry Doyle left off yvear ago when the Giant slugger slipped by Luderus at the finish. After all, it is not so much the fact that seven are in the scramble as is the general mixture of the surviving lot. Concerning Some Tradition. First, there is Jake Daubert whaling away at the ball to recover the honors he held in 1913 and 1914. Even more important than Jacob’s rresence bac kat the top s the threat- ened rush of two of the game’s most noted entries— a Mr. H. Wagner of Pttsburgh and a Mr. H. Chase of ! Cincinnati. s counted out of the .300 ars ago when he finally a bit. Chase was Wagner class two 3 began to careen ! counted out of the big league a year ago when the Feds exploded with the To have Wagner and what any one might call lustre to the occasion, for if ether should arrive it would he one of the year’s sensations. Only sensations have come so thick this season that it takes a husky one to get more than two agate lines. The Rest of the Scramble. These are not the sole entries. In mixture there is a young Mr. Hornsby of St. Louis, struggling with his elders as if tradition meant nothing at all. Hornsby is a debutante. If he leads the league it will be the first time in history that a first year regular ever led a major league circuit. Joe Jack- son would have done it about five vears ago if Ty Cobb hadn’t batted 400. But as Mr. Cobb did bat .420, Joseph failed to upset precedent. | Perhaps Hornsby will. To these names the monicker of one Zacharfah Wheat should be added. Zach has never had any thought about ! leading the league since he broke into | haseball. He has never been even fairly | close to the N. L. top before, although always a good, consistent scholar in | the school of swat. The Difference. In the American league, due to the prevalence of Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker and Joe Jackson, it generally requires | ahout .375 or .380 to lead the big pa- rade. Outside of these three the others are about on a National league bast In the National any able son of slug who can bat over .325 is pretty sure to be number one. Larry Doyle led the circuit last year with .320. Daubert led the year before around .330. The last National leaguer to achieve any- thing approaching classic heights was Heinie Zimmerman, when he moved only a shade below .370 about four years ago. The Winning Average. In the National league this season a mark between .325 and .330 is sure to top the field. Seven regulars now have a good shot at these figures, with an outside chance that Dare Devil Dave Robertson may come with the rush he used the first two months and make additional trouble. As for picking the winner, when at least 5 men are practically even after pounding away for over five months, who can say which of the cluster will make the most of two weeks? Chase vs. Wagner. As much as we esteem the ability of Jake Daubert and others, our first sen- timental choice in this grapple is Honus Wagner. To lead the league at forty-two would be something so far beyond the average that it should be hung up as a classic of the game. For Honus be- gan to dribble away his once fine pe centage two years ago, and no one ever figured he would know the .300 coun- try again. A Wagnerian triumph would be the most popular achieve- ment of the vear If Wagner fails we wouldn't mind seeing Hal Chase arrive. Hal has had his share of what is often known as a spotty career. But he has come back this season to his best ways, and he has been great enough as a player to deserve some mark that will last. Censored Again.

New Haven, Sept. 16.—Battling through fifteen minutes of strenuous scrimmaging, the Yale 'Varsity and second eleven yesterday played their first practice game since the squad re- ported ten days ago. A light rain fell and the ground was soft, preventing long runs by eiher side. The regulars scored once, the veteran Harry Legore | having the honor of taking the ball over the scrub line for the first touch- down of the season on a five-yard straight line plunge. The 'Varsity reached the scrub ten- vard line a second time, but was held. A feature of the game was a clever | forward pass tossed by Bob Bingham from halfback, to Art Gates at left | end. This netted thirty yards and was the only pass used during the session. | No change from yesterday's lineup ordered by Heead Coach Tad Jones, except at fullback, where Rex | Hntchinson was given a day off; Emil Jacques, substitute halfback last year, replacing him. As Jacques is about pounds lighter than Hutchinson, the plunging plays of the 'Varsity were Jess effective than with Hutchinson, a 200-pound line boxer, carrying the ball. Ames again ran the eleven and showed dashing field generalship. He has already been gven the caill on sev- eral occasions instead of the veteran Howell Van Nostrand and Bill Robin- son, who seemed in the lead in the competition for quarterback when the squad reported. John Field was the only addition to the visiting coaching ff. Lonny Stagg. the University of Chicago coach, | and Henry Hobbs, the former Yale tackle, who has heen here all the | week, assisting the resident Yale | coaching staff, left town last night Stagg will immediately return to Chi- cago to organize the Maroon gridiron squad.
