Sweetheart Helps Swimmer;
Her Presence Brings Victory
St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 15.—T0 the
fact that his sweetheart was a spec
tator of the big ten-mile swim on the
Mississippi river, Mike McDermott, of
Chicago, attributes his victory.
McDermott, it is whispered, is en
gaged to be married to Miss Minnie
Blossom, a Chioago girl. Miss Blos
som. with Mrs. McDermott. the water
king's mother, and McDermott's three
sisters, made the trip to St. Louis to
see "Prince Michael" swim.
Mike was spurred on to do his best
before his girl, and to her presence he
attributes his victory. "She was the
charm that brought me luck," said
Mike after the race.
The victory was the third one for
McDermott and wins for him perma
nent possession of the SI,OOO cup, the
finest athletic trophy in the United
States. The cup will henceforth be on
exhibition at the Illinois Athletic As
sociation in Chicago. Instead of at the
M. A. A. In St. Louis.

BILL KAY LEADS H
IN NEW YORK STATE LEAGUE
sFew Willow Wiel&ers Reach .300 Mark During Season; Harri-
Few hitters in the New York State
League reached the .300 mark. Har
risburg had one man. King, the boy
sent from the Athletics In 14 games
batted at .30 4. Downey was the best
hitter with .274.
The averages compiled by the sport
ing editor of the Scranton Republican
while not official are based on publica
tion of scores in morning papers, and
are not far wrong. The hitters above
the stftr mark, playing all season, are
as follows:
Leading Batsmen
Scranton —Strait, .329; McCabe, .309.
Binghamton—Kay, .36 7, and Col
ler, .350.
Utica McConnell. .351; Brown,
.301.
Wilkes-Barre Hoos, .301.
Reading's best man was Bobbough
with .297, and Elmira had Ward with
.295.
Bill Kay is the batting champion of
the New York State League again.
With an average of .367 he enjoys a
sixteen-point advantage on Amby Mc
connell of the Utes who is a good sec
ond. Lee Strait, of the Scranton club,
comes third, with an average of .3 29.
McConnell's average is .351, a splen
did showing for a second baseman who
had managerial troubles.

PIH TEAM BUSY;
NEED TWO ENDS
Coach Glenn "Warner Gives
Squad Gruelling Daily
Workouts
Pittsburgh, Sept. 15. —Pitt's football
training quarters at Camp Hamilton
are the scene of great activity at pres
ent. Scrimmage was instituted during
the past week and is the big feature
7 of the practices held twice . daily.
Coach War ner Is pitting the candidates
tor (he various positions against each
other in turn, endeavoring to deter
mine just which of his men are best
qualified to face the kind of opposition
which they will have to meet in Octo
ber and November. The big coach
never lose? sight of the fact that with
Navy, Syracuse and Pennsylvania to
be met on consecutive Saturdays he
must have at least two high-grade men
in readiness for each position on the
team to permit of alternation and sub
stitution without weakening the line
up.
5 Need Capable Ends
One of the chief tasks which Glenn
Warner must undertake is the develop
ment of a pair of capable ends. It is
hardly likely that either Herron or
Carlson will be supplanted on the first
string, but there must be substitutes
capable of relieving them, if necessary,
in even the oost important games.
Ammons and Harrington, members of
the 1915 squad, are showing added
class and may prove of great service,
and Eckert, the Rldgway boy who
played such a good game on last year's
freshman team, also looks promising.
' Easterday, the clever pole vaulter, may
. be me\ed to this position from half
back because of his speed and strength
as Well as his basketball training. Pitt
looks to one of these men to fill the
shoes of Pat Herron, who is starting
on his last season's play.
Difference Among Hitters
as Temple Figures Bingles
1 The differencse between a .25 0 and a
! .350 hitter is Just a trifle more than
I one hit Jn every three games. Sounds
I astonishing, but it is true. Just about
| one-third of a safety per game divides
the Cobbs and the Speakers and the
Jacksons from the hoi pollol among
swatsmiths.
| William Chase Temple, donor of the
Temple cup and one of the best record
s men on the national game in its entire
■ history, has figured it out. Ho
taken all the averages of both leagues
. to reach his conclusions.
Temple's statistics show that each
, player in the National League averages
' 3.64 times at bat per game, while the
American League average 3.6 times,
: making the grand average 3.62 times
at bat for every major leaguo player in
1 each Rame.
| "Having reached these figures, I
1 then found that to bat .350 in 100
games a player would have to make
12 7 hits." said Temple. "A .2 50 batter
; will make 91 hits in every 100 games
1 That shows a difference of 36 hits in
every 100 games between a .350 and
a .250 hitter.
"Therefore, it can be seen readily
that the .350 hitter, making thirty-six
more hits in each 100 games than does
, the .250 man, averages only about one
third hit more per game than the low
hitter, or 1.08 hits in every three
games."
Blue Ridge League Has
Some Expense Account
Chambersburg, Pa., Sept. 15.—1t Is
estimated that it cost approximately
$70,000 to operate the six teams of the
Blue Ridge League, including the two
weeks preliminary training. Salaries
for the season amounted to approxi
mately $28,000; traveling expenses and
hotel bills amounted to much more,
I while the upkeep of grounds, purchase
of equipment and incidentals caused
• an additional expenditure of probably
■ $15,000. It is believed that no team in
s the circuit got off for less than SIO,OOO,
1 while two or three are believed to have
i spent at least $12,000. The preltml
■ nary training season cost in the aggre
s gate probably $5,000. But, despite the
fact that no team showed any appre
ciable balance on the right side of the
ledger, the finances of the league are
in splendid shape, and every dollar of
indebtedness will be fully paid. Mar
tinsburg lost SI,OOO on the season,
while Gettysburg and Hanover were
helped out by the sales of Koehler and
Scherdel.

burg's Star Swatsmen
August, when he displaced McConnell.
Up until then, the latter had been in

player held the batting leadership dur
ing the 1916 season.
There are only four players found
in the .300 class, according to the un
official averages. They are Strait,
Kay, Haas and McConriell. Almeida, of
the Miners, was batting .300 a week
ago, but during the closing week suf

O'Rourke, of the Utes, is leading the

Madden, of the Stars, enjoys a big lead

National Commission Starts
Drawings; Discuss World
. Scries Plans
Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 15.—Baseball
men from all parts of the country
were present when the meeting of the
national baseball commission held for
the purpose of opening the major
league drafts began here to-day.
The old drafting system of openly
picking the names of clubs and players
from a hat -was again resorted to. Ow
ing to the war with the Federal League,
this system had been discarded dur
ing the last two years and Uys drafting
had been made secretly.
World's Series Plans
It war, expected that the national
commission also would discuss infor
mally plans for the world's series. It
was announced, however, that no defi
nite plans can be arranged for the
series at this time because of the close
races in the National and American
leagues.
Before the commission went Into
session August Herrmann, chairman of
the body, stated that he had figured
schedules for each possible com
bination and that he did not anticipate
any trouble in arranging the playing
dates even though one or both races
remained unsettled until the last day
of the regular season. Mr. Herrmann
said he expected to see the first game
of the world's series played not later
than Saturday, October 7.

a game and a half in the rear of the
leaders. The Boston Braves also' lost
ground when they succumbed to Chi
cago and are now two and a half
games behind Brooklyn. One game
still separates the Phils and Boston.

TOUCHTX' OX "RED" CALHOUN"
"Bill" MjCCollum, of the Wilkes-
Barre Record, says:
Calhoun and Owner Johnson have
reached the parting of the ways.
Same old story. Like other rich men
who tire of a toy, the Bingo owner has
tired of digging for the coin.
Baseball will never pay at Johnson
City. The grounds are too far away
from Binghamton.
It is also said that Mike O'Neill is
playing his last season at Syracuse.
There are fine "inside" stories in
both the Syracuse and Binghamton
situations that are not quite ripe for
the telling.
Calhoun was a hero so long as the
quarters rolled in at the Bingo gate.
Calhoun's record at Elmira and at
Binghamton stamps him as one of the
best managers in the minor leagues.
He not only knows the playing end,
but the business end as well, and saves
money and trouble as well as giving
good baseball to the public.
Unless Lewis is to be retained at the
head of the Wllkes-Barre team in 1917
why not grab Calhoun? —Elmira Star-
Gazette.
