MAXWELL ' Sporti Editor Uirnlnc I'nbltc Lodger Coiiurtcht 1130, bu Public Leilocr Co. 'A LMUNliO l'LIAS, whose hair-fipgor braiu liops through iigscrs like the JtJ'flyiDg pnrsou hops through the air, presents f-ome startling things thut arc ftcts in the world of ''Might Have Bcou." If Uair-figger Al hail his own way, young Mr lloush, of the Cincinnati Exhibition Co., would be able to clutch ten digits around one of the most excellent records of our national pastime. In Al's figger drea.ni Mr. Itoush has led the National League in bat ting three scabons, and all ho has to do to equal Hans Wagner's record is to top the circuit during the coming campaign. Mr. Wagner is the only one since the beginning of the National League in 1876 to lead iti batting for four con stcutlve seasons. The" dope is this, according to the hair-figgcr brain: TCoush blazed the trail, to use a highly original expression, for the sluggers in the parent circuit for 1017. He also copped the 1010 batting championship, and the official 101 S averages give him second place to Zach Wheat, whose percentage was .S.T.'!0(. Itoush's figgers during that Fcason were .ri.S.'S33. which is about ns cloe to Wheat's aveiage as close can be. Now here is the dream stuff: Rouh would have led in 101S had it not been for a protested game. Part of Mr. Elias's editorial on the situation follows : "Itoush would have led the National League batters in IMS and hold the batting chnmpiouhip the last three years but for a protested game. During the game played at Ucdland I-'icld, Cincinnati, on April L'0, IMS, Polish jug gled a fly, then caught it and completed n double play at the plate which the umps allowed In this contest Itoush poled a single and triple in three batting trjps, while afield Eddie caught seven flies and assisted in killing two runners, the Kcda finally wiuning out in the ninth by a score of 4 to 3. "Upon the Cardinals' protect. President Heydler granted their protest. With this official edict the complete revoids pf the game went into the discard. and with them went Rough's single and triple and the batting championship of -the National League for the season of 101S. "Roush, if allowed the.se two hits, would possess the following for the 1018 season: At bat, -I.'IS; hits. 1-17; percentage, .o3oG'J, or almost two points ahead of Zach Wheat, the champion." V T'S tough at that to have a chance for a record taken au.au ichen work has been actually done to dcscivc a ctack at the mark. Favors Keeping All Records IN KEEPING with fairness in sport. Mr. Elias is willing to rap on the table for attention at any bat-eball meeting and make n plea to let all records made on the field stand, regardless of raiu. protests. National Commission n'everything. This sounds reasonable at that. If a ball player raps out a couple of hits in a few innings and then the game is called off on account of rain, why shouldn't those hits couutjn the official averages? It's not his fault that it rains. He has done his part of the job. He has made his hits, and why shouldn't he get credit for it? The same goes for a protested game. The protested games that are thrown out by the league president should be similar to tie games. In a tie game the batters get credit or discredit, as the case may be, for their conduct in that game : but the battle doesn't affect the win-and-losc columns, cither of the clubs or the pitcher. As it now btands, a protest that is upheld has the same effect as if no game is played at nil. Elias points out that Eddie Uoush is not the only athlete who has a just kick to register against the present system. Here is what he s.ays : "Two other players. Hank Gowdy, of the Braves, and Marty Kavanaugh, of the Cardinals, suffered deeply through losing their batting records in games where protests were allowed in iccent years. "Few players during their career in the majors succeed in turning iu five base hits iu one game Kavanaugh belted out three singles, a double and a triple in seven tries on June .", 101S. against Burleigh Grimes, .Tack Coombs, Dan Griner and Larry Ch.ney. greatly aiding the Cards in trimming the Robins 15 to 1U in twelve innings. "After the gome the Robins protested the Cardinals' victory on the grounds that Doug Baird, in recrossing the diamond, cut third base on his return to second. President Tener upheld Ebbets's protest. Imagine Kavnnaugh's feel ings when the powers that be granted the Brooklyns' protest and threw out his flock of base hits from the records. "Hank Gowdy hammered out four hits off Jimmy Lavender and Erskine Mayer, of the Phillies, on April 17. 1017. a short time before he enlisted iu the army. Id this game the Braes trimmed the Phillies G to .". Bransfield, the r iimpiic. ruled Jimmy Lavender out when Jimmy, in the third inuing, ran out of the base line between second and third base. This ruliug was protested and wqn by Moran. The granting of the protest, of course, caused Gowd.v's four hits to be strieken from the records. CtlT WOILD greatly help statisticians and other t carders if the 1 records of all championship contests be kept intact once n game is played." Penn Committee Marking Time ' TjlEBRUART is about to break iu on us auy of tllese days and the Penn -1 football coach has not been selected. Nobody is losin sleep over this fact. but it's about time the newlv appointed football commit ee grit together and named the 100 tutor. The delay is a handicap to Penn and a double handicap to the candidates for the post. It hurts the Red and Blue in that it retards all fcotball plans in the way of spring training and other things. But that is insignificant as compared to the injury to those in line for the position. Some men, particularly Folnell. have held off from accepting n position with some other college in the hope of landing at Franklin Field The meeting with the alumni lecentlv seemed to dn little good. There were twrutj -one old grads present besides the members of the committee. Sev eral men were suggested, including Bob Folwell. Bill Unllrubaek, John Heis man, Boy Mercer and By Dickson. The alumni did a lot of talking, but no definite action was taken and there seemed to be no consensus of opinion. Sev eral old grads believed the meeting did mole to confuse the committee than any , thing else. The idea behind the session with the alumni. luiweer, was a good one, for the committee believed it wise and rightly, too that it should dis cover first who was wanted. Folwell has two stanch supporters in Bud Hopper, the captain of nevt year's team, and Ed Vare. the manager. Thete men have come out openly in favor of retaining the Mullica Hill farmer, but it is not known who will get the votes of the other three members. It is said that Wharton Sinkler, the chairman, and Earl Van Vliet. the other undergraduate on the body, are uncer tain. Nothing is known of Sidney Hutchinson's mind. He ii iu Florida. ' i CTIOXts what is icantcd at Penn. Why their it all this delay no- body knoics, but it is an annual affair at the University. SCRAPS ABOUT SCRAPPERS JOB WELSH is Koing to b a busv gent.

Hans Broke in With Louisville as an Out fielder in 1897 tVrnilE Louisville Club has purchased -L third baseman Ilans Wagner off Pntcrson for a price not stated, and Pitcher Pete Dowliug from Paducnh, in exchange for $000 and Pitcher Jones. It is to be hoped that Louisville didn't throw awav verv much mone on the Wagner deal, as times are hard, and Wanner won't set the leacuc-world afire as a third baseman. He is a bet ter outfielder than infielder." This precious cem was extracted from i n baseball weekly of the vintase of 1S97. I "ash liarney Dreyfuss: To throw away monev like that : And it waa all Harry Pulliam's do ings, too! Harrv then was seeretarv and business manager of Dreyfuss's Louisville Xntional League club, and he asked Ed Barrow, manager of the Pat eron learn, what he would take for the big Dutchman. Barrow's price was a little high, but Pulliam had seen Wag ner knock out a flock of doubles and triples and he had to outbid the Pitts burgh club. So that night Pulliara sent a wire to Dreyfuss from New York: "Have closed with Pateisou for Wngncr for S2100." And so it came to pass that on July 10. 1807, the name of Hans Wagnei nppearcd for the first time in a major league boxscore. In Louisville, they paid heed to the criticism that Wagner was n better outfielder than an infielder, so the big fellow was introduced to fan- dom as a center fielder. Yes, Wagner's playing was good. He started out his bis leajue career with n batting a erase of .."00. In four time lip he hit a single, lapped n sacrifice and drew a base on balls He also con tributed the first steal to ono of the greatest assortment or stolen bases ever acquired bv any big league collector of stolen joods. When the National League cut down from a twelve to an eight club league in the winter of 1S90-1000, Barney Drey fuss bought the Pittsburgh club and took with him the pick of his Louisille Colonels Clark, Wagner, Tommy I. each, "ieacon l'nillipe, Hube ' Waddcll, T.lt Tlaherty and several others. The bitteiest disappointment of Wag ner's baseball life was his failure to earner 5000 total baes on hits. Honus by virtue of poling out 24,"?1? singles, 641 doubles, "31 triples and 100 homers, piled up the enormous sum of 4873 total bases on hits, failing by just IL'7 oases to ring me ben at OUUU total bases on hits.

Porky Flynn, the bean-fed Boston heavy weight, and Al Reich, New York, the diving Adonis, have been barred from tho state of New Jersey for a period of one year and six months, respec tively. Tho two mastadonic bipeds arc accused of crowding into the same ring on Christmas Day and "shamming" a fight. Reich did not take the well-known" divo or anything aud an investigation was ordered. Tho two boxers did everything but box. The contest, which has since been under the cruel glare of the spotlight, made, a large hit with every one ex cept the spectators. Flynn, the hand gome hero, was the "fall" guy. His cue was to take the flop when Reich hit him. Reich did not hit him, but there was nothing in the plot about not being hit, so Flynn pulled a sweet jack-knife dive to the mat. As he lay on the mat chewing the rosin content edly and blinking at Reich, the villain in the plot, who was Reich, got his cue and swung the blow which was to have caused Flynn to nop. Hut it was too late. It was nlso too palpable, as they bay. It ruined the plot and did not get over the footlights. Tho two ham actors then waddled out of the ring, amidst the cries of the mob. The money the ponderous pcrcherons were to huve received was donated to charity The two ficht actors will now have to do their barnstorming elsewhere in the future. GRAND OPENING COLUMBIA A. C.
