pHAHLUS CLIFI'DUO CRAVATH. our blUKKlns oillfleldei. who will do
some right flcUlns for Jack Coombs thli ear, stood out like u corn
on tlio car In the ofliclal flcldltiR averages Issued b.v the National League
today. The veteran did unio great work In the short Held nnd procd tils
throwing arm still was in good &hano by amassing a total of nineteen
assists for tho abbreviated season. Max Carey led with twenty (Ho and
Max I'lack, of the Cubs', was hccond with twenty. Thus Cr.ivnth still
ranlcs with the top-notehcr..
U Is a treat to see Cavvj when he s vvuihniff on all c) Under. He
Is a ery fo.y pet-ton and puts over sonic (duff that even fools tho wise one.
A'imo and again he has converted a blngle Into u force-out by inakliiK.n
ibluff as If to catch the ball, hold tin- runner cm llrst and then tos him
out after getting the bphcre on the llrsi bounce, lie also knew every iinglc
on tho right-field fence, and teldom vvcro e-.tra bises made on long clouts
in th.it direction.
Oawy'.s most famous pl.iy was made In ISI7 when lie bamboolid the
Cubs out of a pcrfectl) good b.ill game. Three men were mi bise, two out
and tho batter soaked a line drive to tight Held. There w .isn't a chance
in a million to make the catch, but Cravalh tore In and heron- tin- hall
dropped stopped suddenly with both hands out, apparently f-ct to grab
tho Hjlng pellet. I.arr Dojle, who wns on third, ran buck to thr bae
and Uavvy forced him at the plate utter getting the ball on tho viuml
bound.
Tho California cloutcr is quite u gate attraction bec'iuso of his health
wallops, which are likely to bust up a gamo ut aiiy time, and the long
distance hitting record he has made. In Ills big bague c.iiocr he has
whacked 10i home runs, mid.) to IS lilts for a tot.il or 17- bates and bus
a grand average of "SI. Thai's prctt good for a guj supposed to be on
tho skids.
Claw J, however, bus a better one than that to his credit, lb) has
mado two home runs in games more often than any other placer In tho
Natloni.I League. Ho mode the brace of circuits In sK giimc-,, off lfes
nnd Dickson, of Uoston, and Itarger, of llrouktjn, In 19111: Drown, of Cin

-' departed for the armj or bhlpjarJs. It was necessary to make manj
changes, bo it Is not at all surprising to bee Heinle Zimmerman heading tho
list as the best first bjteninn. Heinle plajed in nineteen games ut the
initial sack and mude but one error, getting an uveiago of .MJ. 1M
Konetchy, of Uoston, however, was the rial loader, appearing In 113 games
and flnlbhlng with ,W2. Uaubert was tecond, Merklo third and l.uderus

Tlie leal itll-aioiind athlete, however, was 1'aulette, of thu Cardinal1'
This perbon was canned by l'ielder Jones onco becaubo the manager of
the Browns tald ho didn't know enough bate-ball. Ho was picked up by
the Cards and bhowed such a knowledgo of the gamo that he made good
in any position. His 1SLS record should bland for some time, for he plajed
ninety-seven games at first base, seven at beeondiba.se. twelve ut t-hort-stop,
two at 'third base, five In the outfield and pitched one game. In
addition to that, I'aulette was ready to take his place behind the bat when
needed. Mlko Gonzales, of the Caids, plajed live games in the outlleld
when relieved as a tatcher.
Fred Luderus led the first basemen with a.s-asts, gathering timet -eight.
Merkle had the most put-outs, I3SS, and accepted tho greatest number of
chances, 3470. l'lslier, of St. T.ouK
Fletcher, of the (.Hants, topped tho
best third baseman. Bancroft, of the 1'hlK led the league at makln
piling up st.ty-four without tho least trouble. However, ho acce

!AS WAS stated v tins column it.t Muiidaj, Uio major leagues will open
xLthe 1S19 baseoab stabou on Apiil J", and close on Heptemucr SO. This
was officially announced jster.lu lij l'reulent Ittjdlei. of tlio National
League. Thu only tuing letl to be dot c Is tl.e ratification uy both leugues
Bt the Joint meeting on Januai-) Iti, und i o truuu.o is e.pe. ted fioni that
Hource. Nothing waa said ubout tl.e 1 lu-anie sclied j e but It looks us If
that would be tl e number of panics on tae docket.
Now comes the big ciuestlon about spt.ng tiaiuaig tnu. Can b.s
league ball placis get into condition on the homo grounds, when the
weather is raw und cold und rain or biiovv is llkel to interfere with thu
practice any da'.' Is it worth the money which can bo tUved to take a
chance on inclement weather and btaithig tho heaion ugaititt ivell trained
clubs fresh from the bouth? To us it looks like a sucker play on tho part
of the home trainers, unles they wlin to suaranieo tho 'ana that their
teams will finish as close to the bottom of the league as pomible. It will
be a costly experiment, und we will have a t-hanco to tco lion It works In
our own cltj .
Baseball lb due for a bis boom this jcar. and the magnates shuu.d
stop, look and loosen, it will bo another caso of penny wise and pound
foolish, for the fans uie not going to spend real money to look at a Uill
team that can go at top speed for only three or four Innings. Tho home
town bojs will not have u Chln-unan's chance against the other clubs
until they get thawed out around July -i.
Clail: Grlfllth learned his lesson, and jou probabl noticed ho is bound
for the Sunny South this ear. lie once trained at Charlottesville, u,
which Is only a ehort distance from Washington, and alwajs managed to
get off to a bum start. When he went further South his club began to
play better basebcll.
r WOULD not le at all suipitatnu to ice the (nauts in St. J'eteia
