RED WINGO, FIRST AT BAT, LAST IN OFFICIAL FIELDING A VERAGES r" Mack's Young Outfielder Leads League in Reverse English With Mark of .815 His .305 Percentage Led Mack Athletes in Hitting tly R011ERT W. MAXWELL Sports I'xlltor Ermine l'ulillc I.nler Copurioht, 1019, Iru 1'uMlo Mffcr Co. RED WINGO, the ficrr-halrctl outfielder grabbed by C. Marts from the Atlanta club last summer, was n happy young gentleman tho other morn ing when he glanced at the official batting averages and saw that he was ac credited with a stouter percentage than ntiy other athlcto'on the Shibe pay roll. He won't be so happy when ho takes a look at the official fielding averages, Wingo led Mack's fold in hitting with a mark of .1105. Of course, he waun't present In many games last summer, but (-till it's no soft assignment to come up from the sticks and slum tho npple good enough to get into tho select net even in a few pastimes, lied is.willingto make out nn affidavit that it's tougher to field flashily under tho big tent. Red was the only Mnckman who finished Niuetecn-ninctern above .300, and ho is the only member of the Shibe tribe to field below .000. lie was in fifteen games and managed to trap Uvcnty-onc flics nud gain ono assist. lie was charged with five errors. In the span of fifteen games he showed he was there when It came to snatching baseballs out of the unsuspecting air, but he also proved that he has considerable trouble preventing ground balls from trotting to tho left-field bleachers. His average amounted to .SIC, the lowest la the league, which is nothing to brag about. The Aggers show that our A's didn't have many enjoyable afternoons in the field. Griffin, the Atlanta first baseman, who wns imported with the rest of the Crackers late in tho seaou, showed the best mark with .OSi). Dick Burrus was ncjt with .0SC, and George Hums, as a first-sackcr, was right on his heels with .082. Tioga Gangc didn't do as well in the outfield, booting enough around to lower his average to .034. Tho fielding averages of all the athletes t1io toiled for the Shibe and Mack families last season follow: G. r.o. A. 15. P.C. Griffin, first base 17 10 SI 2 .!)8! Burrus, first base ".

Collins to Gondii TIVING for a few seconds into the well-known dope reveals the fact that "' the White Sox completed more double plays than any other club in the circuit. The old Risberg to D. Collins to Gondii combination worked overtime and got more than time and talf time by taking in their shure of the world's ,6erUs coin. The Chicago pastimers lost the series athletically, but who will say they lost financially? One hundred and twenty-two double plays wcro accredited to Kid Glcason's charges, which is not 'nlf bad, ns they say in Beckettown. Tho Red Sox nre overburdened with the news that they led the league in fielding. This probably will cause them to fall in with Ilabc Ruth and nsk for a raifec. They went tbrough the campaign for an average of .075. ThU )s really remarkable or something like that, because C055 chances were offered them and only 143 errors committed. The Boston club was not far behind the White Sox in double plays. They completed 110 and contributed one triple play to the season's achievements. Gleason's proteges also had one of those things. The Red Sox topped the circuit in passed balls, but Wally Scbang won't brag nbout that. We would be surprised if he mentioued it. IJostou catchers let twenty pitches get away from them. Ed Barrows's athletes played in 1JJS games, fewpr than any other gang, which gives Harry Frazee a chance to claim tomething else against Ban Johnson. It wouldn't take a citizen of our fair town long to guess which ciub ended at the bottom in fielding. Mack is consistent if anything. lie grabbed the cellar championship in every department. His hired men averaged only .05G for the season. They committed 250 errors, which is twenty-eight more than the Senators, and any club that can make tnenty-cight more errors than the Griffmen Is really entitled to some sort of reward, for it's a hard thing to beat the Senators at their qwn game. Here's the official club fielding records. Have a look : Games D.P. T.P. I'.B. P.O. A. E. P.C. Boston 138 110 1 20 3000 1843 143 .075 Chicago 140 122 1 0 3702 1752 1T7 .000 New York 141 11.1 0 13 380.1 1052 103 .008 Cleveland 130 100 1 0 .1738 1812 100 .005 Detroit 140 88 1 11 3771 1758 201 .001 St. Louis 140 01 2 10 3702 1810 210 .003 Washington ... 142 OS 0 15 3S1K 1(30,1 220 .000 Athletics 140 01 0 0 .1712 100C 250 .05G JW CONSIDERING Mack' record it must be remembered that Connie did a lot of experimenting, lie changed his infield as often as he changed his collar. An All-American Fielding Team IV XOU took the trouble of going through the official averages and picked out nine of the best fielders jou could gather n ball club that would have not only fielding strength but hitting power as well. Can you imagine a manager getting a ball club like this for a Christmas present: Infielders, Chick Gondii, Eddie Collins, Everett Scott and Vitt; outfielders, Bab!' Ruth, Duffy Lewis and Tris Speaker; catcher, Severeid, and pitcher, Wulter Johnson? He'd claim the pennant as toon as he opened the package. In the matter of fielding the Red Sox have the edge on the other clubs. Three of the members of Beantown's aggregation would gain places on the one All-American team that is NOT selected by Walter Camp. Two positions would go to the champions of the league and one each to Washington and St. Xooic. JJo one of Mr. Mack's athletes is in danger of being picked for the team, but Galloway, the Atlanta shortstop, appears second in the list of short fielders. He had ninety -seven chances in seventeen games and booted bnly three of them. His name stands opposite the .000 mark. Following are the figgers on tho All-American fielding team: G. P.O. A. K. I'.c. Gandil, Chicago, first base lift 1 1 l(i (10 3 .007 E. Collins, Chicago, second base 140 317 401 20 .974 VItt, Boston, third base 133 129 254 13 .907 Scott, Boston, shortstop 138 270 123 17 .076 Ruth, Boston, outfielder Ill 230 20 3 .002 Lewis, New York, outfielder 141 254 13 4 .985 Speaker, Cleveland, outfielder 134 375 25 7 .983 Severeid, St. Louis, catcher. ... , 103 401 . 100 .083 Johnson, Washington, pitcher 39 16 09 j .088 T MAY teem foolish to leave Tyrut Cobb off any All-American nine, but T. R.i according to the figgers, is the seventh best fielding out fielder tit the league. Another Boost for Babe BABE RUTH says he won't play with the Sox this summer unless his contract calls for 520,000 a year. As soon as he discovers he leads the league in fielding as well as the world and all-time players in home runs, he is likely to ask for a mortgage on Boston before"' be consents to leave the taovles fiat and come Fast to don a.basebn'l uniform. Although he Is rated only third in, fielding, Tris Speaker really Is the ly. chasing champ. The Cleveland veteran snared 375 lifts during the season, which Is SOME snaring. Happy Felsh comes Becond to Tris with SCO fly captures. In lhc matter of the great number of chances accepted, Walter Plpp ii hvyay with the honors. The New York first-sarlier fielded 1582 opportuni ties, cleanly, but slipped up on fifteen. Stuffy Mclnnls is not far behind. He accepted 1,118 chances. fERBER, of St. Louis, tales the great pri:a of the season, He lei at the park.
