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:

flLLY "WALKER grabbed 2S3 flics, ichich mnLcs him rligible to get
i
his name on the flu-paper poster
Risberg to E. 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

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

After Dempsey
Fulton has not given up hone of se
curing another meeting with Jack
.Dempsey. just a few days before
O'Bourke sailed from Livernool he
wrote to Harry Edwards, president of
tne uiympia, to get in communication
witn uempsey ana sign the pair for a
six-round bout in this cltv.
Dempsey refused to consider any kind
oi a bout at tins time, as he Is concen
trating upon the battle with Carpcn
tier. This is sure to be a profitable
venture, and it would be bad business
for the champion to take any chances
until niter tne (Jarpentier session.
Fulton never has appeared in this
city. His first bout in the East since
the Dempsey disaster probably will be
at the Olympia on January 21. Tom

Now Plan to Clean Out
Gambling at Boxing Club
Garry Herrmann, chairman of the
national baseball commission, was
the first man to take steps to clean
out the gambling clement at baseball
games.
A Garry Herrmann has arisen in
the boxing game. Harry Edwards,
of the Olympia, yesterday stated that
he had started n campaign to do
away with all betting nt his club.
The first step was to keep the gam
bling clement separated by watching
the tickets.
It has been tried out at the last
two shows and has been such nn
improvement that Mr. Edwards in
tends to go the limit to make it suc
ceed. President Edwards, and if n regular
opponent can be procured the match
will be staged.
It is rumored that Bill Brenunn or
Frank Murnn will supply the opposi
tion. Brcnnan is the man the Olym
pia is after, but will wait a few days
longer for the final word from Brcn
nan's manager.
Afllect a Fighter
0''Rourke did not return with only
one fighter. He was so much impressed
with the work of Billy Afficct, the Eng
lish featherweight, that he took a
chance on bringing him back. Afllect
is n very piomislng boy. According to
Joey Fox, the English star, Afllect is
oue of the best bo.s his weight on the
other side Atllect makes his debut
against Willie Ilannou nt the Olympia
on New Year's Day.
O'Rourke at one time handled Al
Falser. And it was in this city that he
separated from the late heavyweight
hope. Following a miserable showing
lu a fight here, Palzcr came into the
box office for his money.
O'Bourke, according to President
Edwards, turned to Palzer and said:
"You're a cheater. You failed to give
these people your best. I trusted and
believed that you hud been training
faithfully. You deceived me as well as
the fans who make the game possible.
Here's your money. From now on you
and I iwc through."
This is the same Tom O'Bourke who
will undertake the big job of piloting
Fulton into popular favor and into a
title.

result in a number of players following
Babe Ruth, the Boston American nltrli.
cr nnd outfielder, in demands for lu
crensed salaries.
Retrenchments effected for tho period,
after the war, when the owners expected
to be confronted with lessened interest
in baseball, led to many one-year con
tracts being made. Long-time con
tracts for a number of stars terminated
with tho past season. That tho inter
est next year in baseball is not expected
to be lethargic, some of the players who
wintered in Chicago say, is evidenced
by the owners' plans for extended train
tug seasons and tho adoption of the
tirual 151-gamc schedule instead of 140
games ns last year.
Some of the players nre said to hold
that with the owners obtaining greater
patronage, larger salaries can bo paid.
So far. few players of the Chicago clubs
have been signed. Alexander, Klllefer
and Robertson arc tho Nationnl League
club stars who lmo made 11)20 con
tracts. On'y a few youngsters hnv'c
