WJji'thc Wake of the Babe's Prestige as Champion Cloutcr
' and Best Fielder Now Come Figures Proving
.i. Him Leader in Knocking Home Runs
?.; ' Ity KOI.ERT XV. JIAXWEU.
.;- a Nvorts I-dllor III mini I'tiblfc l.cder
, Lcvvriehi, 1020, hv the Public Ledger to,
,7X)L' "can't keep a good man down. No matter how modest the Rood man
may he. his sterling qualities arise lo the surface and are exposed to the
world. Take Habc Ituth. f'rinstanee. Kverybody knew the champion clouter
.smashed the homo-run record Inst year when he rocketed twenty-nine over
'cfioiiS fences on the Johnson circuit, nnd there was no secrecy about the deal
TfhJch shunted' him to New Tork for tliut trivial sum of $125,000. However.
there was much surprise wheu the brutal statistic were published a mouth ago
nnd It was discovered that Until wa the champion fielding fielder or somc
. thing like that. In other words, he starred on the defense as well as on the
'offensive.
B!V '"And now comes another startling
Ernie. I.annigaii. chairman of the Haseball Kesearch Jlurenti, which is a way
ot saying he is a statistical dopestcr. it has been learned on good authority
again refening to Mr. I.annigan that Mr. Ituth was the timeliest thumper
on the pa roll last season and drove homeward more perfectly good tallies
than any other athlete. Mr. I.annigan, who, by the way, is wintering in Haver
ford, Pa., says the I'.abc knocked in 112 runs in 1011'. his base hits accounting
for J04. and eight coming in on outs. If anybody disputes this, let him figure
It out for himself.
No one knows- what would have happened had the pitchers beeji lets liberal
Vrlfb. their jiusses with loiterers on the bases, hut it's a cinch the most recent
N'Yawfc recruit wo-Jd hac ruined the major league record, which is 141, made
.' ljr.a.Mr. Cobb, of Detroit, in 1011. The Babe received many intentional walks
during the season because lie could not reach the ball with his long bat. At that
ho walloped many pitchouts, which was not according to Iloylc.
Thus Mr. Until qualified as the leading home-ruu slugger, the leading
fielder and the timeliest clouter for last year, showing he is a very important
person in baseball circles.
At the start of the year, llabe wanted to knock the pellet out of the
orchard every time lie stepped up. As a result, he suffered a slump in batting
aTCrnge. Near the end. however, he was satisfied with base hits and used
more science while al tiie plate. He showed a wonderful improvement in li i
batting and should give Ty Cobb a close race this year.
J A lSTEHYIEV: out on the coast a couple of days urjo, Bahe
said he intended to choke his hat this year and try to specialize in
.. tine and two-banc hits. If lit docs this, and gets aicay with it, ice are
- likely to hare a new battinn kivg in the league.
Walker Led Mackmen in Driving Home Rutin
THERE were other gents who drove in many runs for their clubs, but Kuth
was the only century plant. Bobby Veach. of Detroit, was second with
ninety-eight to his credit, and Joe Jackson was next with ninety-seven.
Dufiy Lewis excelled for New York, with S"; Larry Gardner, for Cleve
land, with SO; George Sisler. for St. Louis, with S3: Sam Bice, for Washing
ton, with "2, and Clarence Walker, for the A's, with OS. The Amciicau
League's most powerful batting team would have had Buth, Veach and
.Tackson in the meadows: Ilcilman. Eddie Collins. Weaver and Gardner iu the
infield, and Dauss and Sehang in the points. These nine men drove in COS
markers. That, was 100 more than Chicago's total, the White Sox hitting home
the greatest number of runs and the Athletics the smallest number.
George Burns, who was tied for league leadership with Veach iu 101$.. was
responsible for fifty-three runs knocked home and Joe Dugan was next
on the list wiili thirty-six. High and lhompson are tied for last placn with
vnc each
Last year it took twenty-nine men to drive, in U)S rims for the A's.
which proves the homcfolks were reluctant-to dent the plate without outside i;
assistance. It was a hard job. but they did it just the same. Here's hoping
they get it couple of hundred more this season.
Ty Cobb has been the most consistent champion, leading the league four
times. Pam Crawford was out in front three times and Frank Baker twice.
-Veach led in 1017 and was tied with George Burns iu 101S. Wnlly Pipji
was the lender in 1016. In thirteen years, a Detroit player has led the league

Kith siity-ninc runs io his credit. Tris Speaker, who once wrested
the hattinq championship from him, had the same number.
' Bodie Responsible for Seven Runs in One Game
PING BODIE. who centerfielded for the Yanks last year, had the distinction
of batting iu the mo--t runs in an American League game last year, ac
cording to statistic furnished by Mr. I.anniguu. He was responsible for
seven of ten runs scored, all of which should make Ping feel good, as lie
always likes to be remembered. Huth's single game limit was sir and tliut
lo "was the highwater mark for Ilcilman. of Detroit, and Burns, of the A's.
Babe accomplished his feat against Cleveland on July IS in that memorable
game when he soaked u homer with the bases full in the tenth inning, luci-dt-ntally.
that wallop knocked Lee Fohl out of a job.
Ilcilman made his good showing against New York on August 2, and
George Bums rubbed it in on his old teammates on June 21.
The Johnsonites who batted in live ruus in games were George Sisler
(twicet. Chic Gnndil. Ileilman. Itogcr Peckinpaugh. Boh Both, Clarence
Walker nnd Buck Wenver 'j
There were many instances of men batting iu four runs in contests.
Ituth acting in this mauier no es-i than seven times. Eddie Collins turned the
trie1: twice and so did Del Gainer. Joe Harris. Bill Jaeohson, Ralph Perkins.
Gexirgc Sisler. Joe Wood and Trunk Ellerbe.
Ellerbe. in whom the Washington club seems to have picked a future star,
Jia'd a field day with the bat on September IS in the double-header with the
Browns, hitting iu four runs iu each battle. Bert Gallia passed Sam Bice once
to get at Ellerbe. filling the bases, and Frank promptly tripled all three men
home.
The long hits that emptied the three bases in the American last ,iear
numbered thirty-four (eight homers, fifteen triples and eleven doubles) and
there was besides, a single that ncnt three men to the Bureau of Registration.
George Dnvis Weaver, of the Westf-n Sox, made it on July 13 off George
Henry DnMoin, of the Eastern Sox.

'CAN-TAKE-IT' MITTMRN

Can Hand It Out, Too
Hy GUANXLAND KICK J
Covurtjiht, 19t0. All
ttTTOW is this lsld?" wo ask on old
xl timer ns some prelim, kid sat
down in ltia corner.
"Good." was the laconic answer.
"Can He hit or is ho clever?"
"Neither," hu replied, "but he can
taknlt."
The kid was chopped to pink ribbons
the next eight rounds, but ho finished
on his feet still swinging away. Ho
could take it.
Nolablo Examples
FRANK MOHAN proved In his bat
tle against Fred Fulton last week
(lint he must be listed ns on2 of the
most notable "Cnn-Tnkc-Its" o the
game.
The big blonde, who has the heart of
a steel-made ox, took a carload without
quitting.
He took it for'thc better part of eight
rounds all that n giant stnndlng six
feet sir und weighing UCO pounds could
pump into his face and stomach.
And ho was still taking it with n red
grin that bubbled gore when the bell
rnng.
Mornn may not be blessed with all
the skill and speed iu the universe, but
ho carries two essentials of. his game
ho can give it nnd he can take it ho
can hit and ho can stand beiug hit.
If he could only ndd to this a fnir display
of ring skill nud cleverness wbnt a star
lie would be, or would hnvo been.
Worth a Hit
THIS "Cau-Take-It" quality is
worth something more than you
might nt first think.
We'll take two examples :
First Bombardier AVclls, the British
heavyweight. Wells is as big and a's
tall as Moran. He is much faster. He
is blessed with more thnn usual skill.
He has both speed and cleverness. And
he can hit.
But the Bombardier has been one of
the great ring jokes. He can't take it.
Any normal wallop to chin or Jaw or
abdomen and Bombardier fades out into
poppylund to complete his dream.
Against him tnke Frank Moran.
Moran hasn't Wells's speed or clev
erness and no greater size. But he hns
lasted twenty rounds with .Tack John
sonthe limit with .TesR Willnrd, and
then after n long lay-off in fairly poor
lighting condition he returns and lasts
the limit ngainst Fred Fulton. .
"Can-Take-It" without much else
can go further than the "Can't-Take-
1 it. wnn a xancy repertoire. (
! The- Star Entry
THE greatest "Can-Take-It" th"at
the game (ivcr turned out was "Bat"
Nelson.
There was no one else close, unless
.Too Grim is mentioned, and Grim was
nothing else.
NelEon in his battle against Hcrrern.
the slugging Mexican, was knocked
down nud dazed through a spell that,
lasted ten rounds. But he could take it.
When he "met Young Corhett that
worthy had a wallop stout enough to
crush rock,
Tfp lind nailed Tcrrv McGovcrn' with
it. on two Occasions. Facing Nelson, J.
