L. BATTING HONORS Tigers Outficlder Noses Out Ty Cobb For Honor—Hornsby An Easy Winner. New York, Oct. mann, won in the American league by .0003 of a point, according to unofficial figures made public today. Heilmann's boss, Manager Ty Cobb, gave him a merry chase for the title when the season closed ves- terday with 390 each but the figures when carried out to four percentage points gave Heilmann .3904 and Cooo .3901. Ruth, New York was third with .377; Sisler, 9t. Louis, last year’s champion, fourth, .371 and Speaker, Cleveland, fifth, .357. Heilmann pagticipated in 149 games, was at bat 602 times, scored 113 runs and made 235 hits. A vear ago he ranked 23rd in the batting list with .309. Cobb, who last year was the ninth ranking American heague batsman with an average of .334, was in 21 less games than his rival outfielder this season. He batted 505 times crossing the - plake 122 times and hit safely 197 times. Rogers Hornsby, the St. Louis Cardinals’ star second baseman, top- ped the National league batters with 398, the unofficial averages showed. This figure is an increase of 28points over his total last year when he also was the senior organization’s cham- pion hitter. Roush, Cincinnati, was second this year with .352; Cruise, Boston, third .349; McHenry, St Louis, fourth, .348 and Meusel, New York, fifth, .343 ANOTHER TIE BATTLE Nutmegs With Few of the Regular 3.—Harry Players in Lineup, Hold Mohawks Scoreless—Local Fans Displeased. The Mohawks of Meriden and the Nutmegs of this city, battled to a scoreless tie yesterday afternoon at Vibberts’ lot. It was a good sized crowd that witnessed the contest, and the greater part of the fans were surprised at the lineup the locals pre- sented, there being a number of strange faces in the Nutmegs' outfit. Some criticism is being hurled at the management, for advertising men who do not appear in uniform, and from these remarks, it looks as though the Nutmegs’ management are confronted with the task of getting back in good sraces. Of the regular Nutmegs, Barn- kow, Koplowitz, O’Neill and Connelly were the only ones in uniform. The Meriden team was never dangerous, ly once getting the ball in local ter- ritory. Twice the home team threaten- =d the Silver City line. Vic. Larson was n uniform for the first time in several seasons. O'Neil, Barnikow, Connelly and Dill played well for the locals. Greco, F. Kroper and Callahan played <he game for the Mohawks. The summary: Nutmegs Connelly Mohawks g S .. Callahan Right End Welsch . ...

TEAM WINS ON STORRS FIELD “Aggies” Freshmen Beaten in Last-Minute of Play Saturday Completing the very last play of the zame, “Dixie” Griffin crossed the goal iine of the Storrs Freshman team Sat- urday afternoon on the Connecticut Agricultural college grounds, scoring the only six points of the game and bringing victory to the Red and Gold The local High school squad turned in a fine day’s work with the excep- tion of a few fumbles in the back- leld, Fullback Martin being responsible for the greater number of the mis- piays. Although the locals were lined up against a considerably heavier team, the line held back practically every plunge and cut away openings for the plunges of the red and gold backfield, Several of Coach George Cassidy's trick formations were put in- to play with a pleasing degree of suc- cess, and a number of shifts were worked on the Aggies for sizeable gains. Armand Landino, who was unable to play in the first game of the sea- son on account of an injury to his eve, was back in the uniform, holding down an end position. He knocked off sev- eral plays with snappy tackles and in addition to his defensive work grabbed a forward carrying it for a 25 yard zain. The locals reached the Aggies 10 vard line several times, but on every occasion fumbled. The High school squad was on the 10 yard line with five seconds to play when Quarterback “Dixie” swung out the signal that put the ball into play. The referee's whistle tooted the end of the game, but since the pigskin had gone into play it was required that the glay be completed before the game was offi- cially a* an end. Griffin rounded right ¢nd anad crossed the line for the game's cnly score. The school team will stack up cgainst the Meriden High team next Szturday in the Silver City. The Mer- iden school has been turning out un- usually fas¢ elevens of late and this vear’s squad is no exception to that vule. A big delegation of local ad- mirers will accompany the team. One week from Saturday, Holvoke will present the opposition, the game being played on the local field. Hol- voke teams in the past have given the local High school a day of real hard work, and reports coming from the Day State indicate that this year's squad is more than anxious to stretch a point by putting over a win. On the followiag Saturday,.the team wil be seen in action on St. Mary's srounds on Allen street, when the Tristol High school team will be ta- ken on. The Bell City High school ally places a rather light but crappy team in the field, so an in- teresting contest may be counted upon. TO ATTEND SERIES William W. Hanna, George Hoffman and Ike Hills, will attend the series between the New York Yankees and New York Giants. When a “Feller” Needs a Friend By Briggs
