Frank Baker made pace for homers in the American League during 1911, 1912 and 1913, and tied with Sam Crawford in 1914, but the most the Trappc terror ever got in one season was a dozen round-trip swats. Last year Walllc Pipp, of the Yankees, was on top with twelve. Perhaps some new slugger of the demon type will spring up this year. Who knows? And then again, it is more than likely that the home-run swatters who have stood out in front for the last few seasons will continue to hold their places. , , ( Gavvy Cravath, no doubt, will be one of the birds near the top in the National League, ar.,nrraniy,u. v.Vrf ,i,,'.v W ivwvm ,J ' ".w,.".

And to think that the finish of the 1916 campaign found Cravath about to be relegated to the tall grass! (iavvj, at his best, is a rip-snorter. Like all players, he finds himself in a slump every now and then, and when his eye is bad Cravath can't hit the side of a barn. But when he's wielding the old willow with good aim, the opposing hurlers serve 'cm up and close their eyes. Last year Cravath had eleven homers, and was second to Davy Itoberlson, of the (Hants, and Cy Williams, of the Cubs, each of whom was credited with a dozen. This year Cravath was ex pected to be out of the running en tirely, but it is not so. He has :t great start and is far from being unrecognized, and is tied with Itoger Ilornsby, of the Cards, who has three homers to his credit so far. For three straight seasons Cravath hammered out four-base blows with 'regularity that astounded the fans and busted the hearts of pitchers. In 1913 Gavvy poled out nineteen homers and the next year he came right back with nlnteeen more to show that his performance of the previous season was not u flash in the pan.
