Chicago, Dec. 17.—1n regaining his
batting crown, lost to Tris Speaker in
1316, Tyrus Raymond Cobb, of the
Tigers, had to hit .383 to annex the
1917 honor of tha American League.
The Georgian, however, did not have
much difficulty to come back after
his slight stumble from the primrose
path of 1916. George Slsler, of the
Browns, and Speaker were the only
opponents who worried Tyrus and he
left them so far behind in the closing
weeks of the American League dash
that 'it was a foregone' conclusion
tluir tha Peach was going" to repeat
his methodical method of adding an
other batting crown to his already
overstocked trophy room.
Ty was the only man in either
league to whack the old pill for 200
or more hits. In his 152 games he
maltreated the opposing (lingers for
225 safeties, a record other ballplay
ers would give a year of their base
ball life to attain. Sisler finished
with a .353 average, with 190 hits in
135 games, while Speaker had a .352
mark with 184 safe ones in 142
games.
Mnlli Championship
Tn coming into his own again, Cobb
wins his ninth batting championship,
a feat no other player has ever
achieved. John Henry Wagner, the
venerable star of the Pittsburgh Pi
rates, has e.ight National League
titles, but as he is now past the hey
day of his career and virtually on
the retired list, Cobb's mark of nine
championships will stand for many a
\ ear fov^other players to shoot at.
Three members of the World's Cham
pion White Sox landed in the .300
list, the men being Murphy, with .314;
Felsch, ,30S, and Jackson, .301. All
together nineteen players hit .300 or
better, but eight of these took part
In less than fifty-five sanies.
Study Mclnnis, the only one left
>f the old guard on the Athletics,
was tlie only Mack player to swing a
.300 stick, he hitting for .303, having
juadfc 172 hits in 150 games.
Star UiiNemtealer
Cobb led the league, not only in
the general averages, but also in
stolen bases, with a total of 55, and
in the total number of hits, he reg
istered 225 safe blows for a total
of 336 bases. His mark of forty-four
iwo-baggers and three triples was
the best in the league.
Pip, of New York, led the league
in circuit blows with nine, while
Veach, of Detroit, wr.s one behind
him.
Bush, a third DetroVt player, was
first in total runs scored, with 112.
Cobb was second with Ave less.
The Detroit team, fortified by these
performances,of its offensive stars,
led the league in club batting with
an average of .259. tail-end
Athletics were second with .254, and
the champiou Wox were third with
.253.

WRESTLERS THR
GOOD MATERIAS ON HAND
State College, Pa., Dec. 17.—With
the coach and seven regulars from
I last season's undefeated wrestling
team in the Army, Penn-State's
! grapplers are confronted with a
! gloomy outlook for their first ap
| pearance In the Intercollegiate
I Wrestling League. Only three mat
men with varsity experience are in
' college and available for the blue
and white's initial contest for inter
collegiate honors. They are Captain
Long, in the 145-pound lass:
Scliultz. the 158-pound man, and
Czarnecki, the undefeated heavy
weight.
At the head of the list of missing
men stands W. E. Lewis, the wrest
ling mentor who has put the mat
game on a high plane at State Col
lege, and who has instructed the
wrestlers here since the sport was
introduced, eight years ago. He has
been commissioned, a first lieutenant
n the Officers Reserve Corps, and is
on duty at Camp Lee, Va.
In Ordnance Department
Smoley, the 115-pound man, is en
listed in the ordnance department.
Ostermayer, the 125-pound grappler,
was graduated in June and is now
in service. Mills, the 135-pound
representatives, won a commission
as second lieutenant in the first of
ficers training camp, at Fort Niagara.
Higgins, Parrish, Nelan and Taven

class, are with the colors. Higgins,

AN ALL-TIME ALL-STAR TEAM
NO. 3—FIIIST BASE
Here comes the one doubtful position of the team —the one position
where there was greater difference of opinion.
From Charley Comiskey to George Sisler is a long gap—and in that gap
it seems that no one man has ever risen to undisputed heights.
Among the first basemen there has been no Buck Ewing, no Christy
Mathewson.
Comiskey was the first of the great first basemen, the qrlginal entry to
range away from the bag and cover his share of territory.
After that came a long list of renowned first basemen, who were mainly
renowned for their batting. This list included such eminent .veterans as
Pop Anson, Roger Connor, Danu Brouthers, etc.
But none of these could range with modern first basemen, such men as
Hal Chase, Stuffy Mclnnis or George Sisler.
They could lean against the ball with an undeniable crash—they car
ried the wallop—but they were not as active as the modern schools.
THE TWO LEADERS
Extending over a ten-year period, we found the greater number of votes
were divided between two men —Fred Tenney, of Boston, and Hal Chase,
of New York and Cincinnati.
For sheer brilliancy and grace Hal Chase had no equal. He was the
most spectacular of them all.
But Hal drew too many lapses at various portions of his career to hold
as much adulation as he would otherwise have drawn.
If Chase, from the start, had worked aa earnestly and as steadily as he
has in Redland the last two years, ther# is no question but that to-day he
would top top peak.
As It stands, the majority of votes were given to Fred Tenney, a bril
liant, smart fielder, who batted above .200 for eight years—a fine defen
sive player and a strong man on attack.
Chase should have outranked Tenney, but there were lean years where
Hal's play fell off badly and where he was of no great value to his clan.
Another good star who belongs with these is Frank Chance, hard hit
ter, good fielder and aggressive leader.
OF THE PRESENT DAY
Of the present array, George Sisler is the one who has the best chance
of displacing Tenney from the top. If Sisler can maintain his present pace
for a few more years, he will undoubtedly be the pick for future historians
to consider.
As it is, the Brown star hasn't played long enough to be figured in.
Among the others, Mclnnis has the better record, a trifle above Jake
Daubert.
But for all-around value, field, batting, head work, aggressiveness,
speed, agility, stamina, steadiness and brilliancy, Fred Tenney has the call.
As a member of the old Boston quartet, he contributed a big share toward
Boston's baseball fame. And, while not as great a star above other rivals
as Ewlng and Mathewson were, Tenney is far from being of merely normal
caliber. *

BIG CAGE GAME
jßookwood Off in Field Toss
ing; Spectators Kick on
Referee's Decisions
The Rookwood team of Philadel
j phia, was defeated by the Harris
burg Independents on the Chestnut
street floor in a loosely played game,
Saturday evening by a score of 28
to 23.
Spectators were unanimous in
criticising the referee on some of the
decisions which without a doubt
gave the home club an advantage
over the visitors. This disapproval
was emphasized by "the hooting and
hissing," that followed several of the
decisions.
Poor Itofcrcoing
It was thought that the refereeing
would be improved upon instead of
becoming worse. The game was
loosely played by both teams and
this added to poor olficiating, made
the game the most uninteresting con
test on the local tloor this season.
The visitors displayed a skill in
passing that eclipsed the teamwork
of any visiting team on the local floor
this season. Inability to shoot foul
and field goals was the cause of the
visitors' poor showing.
McCord played sensational ball)
for the local quintet making several
sensational field goals and shooting
24 out of 26 goals. The lineup and

CHAMPION WRESTLER
TOLEOWING SON
MADE FORTUNE
FRANK GOTCII
Late Champion Heavyweight Wrest-'
ler of United States
Des Moines, la., Dec. 17.—Frank
A. Gotcli, retired champion heavy- •
weight wrestler of the world, died at
noon yesterday at his home, Hum-!
boldt, la., of uremic poisoning. He
had been in failing health for two
years.
Gotcli was 41 years old. The rec- 1
ord books, detailing the events of his
life give his age as 39 years, but,
these are inaccurate. He was born
on April 27, 1876, on a farm three
miles south of Humboldt. He Is sur- \
vived by his widow, a 4-year-okL
son, Robert Gotcli; a brother, Frsd j
Gotch; a sister, Mrs. Charlie Kurth, j
of Humboldt, and his mother, Mrs. i
Amelia Gotch, also a resident ofi
Humboldt.
His wife and son were at his bed- |
side when death came. It is said!
that the famous athlete was con-i
scious almost up to the time of his'
death, despite the rumors that have!
been in circulation during the past j
two months that he was irrational'
part of the time. •
Quits Circus Business
Gotch had been with the circus, -
wrestling with Bob Managoft, Carl;
Caddock and others, only a short!
time when he was compelled to re
turn to his home because'of stomach
trouble. He never regained his
health fully, although he later re
joined the circus, being compelled to
leave it again when lie injured his (
ankle.
Discoveries the champion made re
garding his condition that summer I
caused him to abandon all plans
of a match with Stecher.
* The following winter Gotch be
came no better and went to Hot
Springs, Ark. He returned home last
spring but gradually lost strength.
Early in October he went to Chicago
on his way to a Southern resort, but
became seriously ill in a Chicago
Hotel. He was removed to a hospi
tal, where he was kept until early in
| November, when he was brought
back to his home.
Builds Up Fortune
Since that time he had been able
j to leave his home % only two or three
I times, and then for only short strolls.
I Ten days ago he began gradually to
! grow worse.
Gotch built up a fortune in wrest
ling and by investing his earnings in
lowa farm lands. His estate is var
iously estimated at between $200,000
and $400,000, all of which represents
money made through his ability as a
wrestler.
Gotch won the American cham
pionship January 27, 1904, from
Tom Jenkins, after one of the tough
est matches ever seen in this coun
try. The bout was staged at'Bel
ingham, Wash. Gotch won the first
fall and was awarded the second af
ter Jenkins had fouled him repeated
ly by applying the strangle hold and
by striking him.
Four years later the Humboldt
man won the. undisputed champion
ship of the world by defeating
George Ilackenschmidt, "The Rus
sian lion," at the Dexter Park Pa
vilion, Chicago, in a forfeited match
after two of gruelling wrest
ling. There was no fall in the
match, but the invader quit, exhaust
ed, after the two hours of effort
against a man who plainly showed
that he was superior in every re
spect.
Wins Championship
Frank Gotch, who won the heavy
weight wrestling championship of
the world in 1908 in Chicago, by
throwing George Ilackenschmidt, the
Russian lion forfeiting the match af
ter two hours and eight minutes.
Wrestling enthusiasts called it the
greatest mat spectacle of history.
Gotch lost nine pounds before his
opponent was floored, and his ton
gue was so badly swollen that it was
a week before he could speak plain
ly. He wrestled with Ilackenschmidt
in the White Sox ball park here
again in 1911, winning tn short or
der. After the match it was made
known that Gotch's opponent had
entered the contest with a badly
sprained knee and although he had
concealed it at first, it prevented bis
exerting more than a feeble resist
ance to the champion. The gate
receipts at that match were ?87,-
000, the most money ever taken in a
wrestling show in the present days.
It was in his match with Ilacken
schmidt that Gotch introduced and
perfected the toe hold against which
no man was ever able to stand. The
hold caused great anguish to the
opponent and soon mado the strong
est of them weak.
The only man who ever publicly
threw the champion was Fred Beell,
of Marshfield,. Wis., who in 1905 in
New Orleans, took the first fall to
Gotch's second and third in a three
fall match. Gotch later won from
Beell with little effort.
The champion's wrestling weight
was 215 pounds, but in the last year
he had lost weight until he tipped
the scales at less than 180 pounds.
He entered a hospital here a month
ago and was treated for stomach
trouble, but gained rapidly imd was
soon discharged as cured.
Gotch and James Jeffries, former
heavyweight boxing champion, were
intimate friends and before Jeffries
lost his belt to Jack Johnson the
two champions toured the country,
meeting with great receptions every
where.

J W CORNER-
Notwithstandine the loss of many
scholastic stars who are in the Army,
the Pennsylvania interschoiastic
League will start next Saturday with
bright prospects. The younger athle
tes, anxious to become stars, will
bo in evidence. Seven teams have
entered the race and old-time rivalry
is promised.
Since 1915, Manager Connie Mack
lias sold thirteen of his stars, the
total price received is $181,500. Who
says baseball is not a paying sport?
The highest price paid for a single
player to Connie Mack was $50,000
for Eddie Collins, second baseman,
who was sold to the White Sox.
To make basketball a profitable
sport, the games should be made
attractive. Referees are a big fac
tor in increasing the popularity of
the cage game. While Harrisburg
fans are loyal to home teams, they
also like to see fair play.
