12 NEWS OF THE SPORTING WORLD .300 HITTERS DECREASE: NUMBER OF BATTERS CROW Taking Fifty Games as a Basis, Four teen Sluggers Qualified iu Select Class Last Year to Nine in Cam paign Just Closed New ork, Dec. 12.—A comparison oi the official batting averages of the National League for the s»asons of 11'1 .i and 1914 developes some inter esting and puzzling features. Includ ing all those [ layers who ; art icipatid, iii any wanner, in fit'toon or more each sea-son. the roster for this vear shows ISS unities, .igains" IS3 twelve months ago. Notwithstanding this in crease ill the total number of oattera en rolled iu the records, but fifteen of the 1914 hitters hammered their way into the .300 or better ranks, while in ±9i3 the select list included twenty-three games. When these lists are again reduced by eliminating all those players who did not participate in at least titty games or approximately one-third of the season, the record shows (hat fourteen 'batters qualified in 1913 io nine i hi-; season. Of this number, but four. Dau bert, Becker, Wheat and Mag.<e appear in both lists. (Whether the pitching which the batters faced during 1914 was betier than n year ago or"a sort dt sympathetic slump existed in the National League it is impossible to state, but the fact remains that a nrni ber of those who batted their wav into the .300 class in lUI3 could not ill pli cate the feat during the past summer. Oravaith, of the Philadelphia tilth, hit 41 in 1913 and .298 in 1911. Viox, of Pittsburgh, dropped from .31J to .265, Zimmerman, of Chicago, from .313 to .296, Chief Meyers, of New ork, from .312 to .286, Loibert, of i hiladolphia, front .300 to .275 and Wagner, of 'Pittsburgh, from .300 to ._'s2. This was the first time since 1 597 that Wagner dropped below .300, l ilt this was not surprising in the case o' Homis, for. like other batting heroes of the pa-t, Wagner was at last fore\l to bow to the all-powerful arm of Fa ther Tine. For the period from 1897 to 1913, ine! isive. Wagner had a grand ::vcrnge of .341. His highest mark was .380, made in 1900, and his lowest .TOO, made in 191 3. Anothe- peculiar feature is that three of the four players who figure in the . 100 or better class for both seasons increased tiieir averages, while all mound theiu the heavy hitters were dropping below their last year's per formances. .lake Dau'bert, the cliain lion batter of the league for 1913 and 1914, fell from to .329, but he v as the exception to tnc general rule of the quartet. Beals Becker raised his 1913 aver age of .316 to .325. Zach Wheat gained eighteen points bv batting .319 in place of .311 rmd Sherwood Magee moved up from .306 to .314. Speaking of records and averages brings to mind the fact that Charles Edward Bricklev, the captain of the Harvard I'niversity team of 1914, will leave quite some figures behind him when he is graduated next spring. Bricklev since lie entered Harvard as a Freshman in 1911 has piled up 259 pointi for the Crimson, i>s of which were made on the Fieshman eleven and the balance as a varsity player. During the three years that Brickley played r Non-greasy Toilet Cream—Keeps the £kln Soft and Velvety In Rough Weather. An Exquisite Toilet Prep aration. -5 c. GORGAS DRIT. STORE?" 10 X.

Baseball as a panacea for militarism | ridden Burope is put forth bv a Har vard alumnus, who has spent some , years abroad. In a letter to the Har- I vard alumni weekly, he writes: "My idea, of the best cure for this 'war condition would be 'more base , ball.' 1 believe that if they had had I a regular baseball league in Kurope, with Berlin, Paris, London, Vienna, Ant j wenp, etc., participating, as well as a minor league taking in Belgrade, Brns i sels and it few other such places, the : fans would never have tolerated the | breaking out of this war during the baseball season, and if they had post ; pohed it until the world's series was | over it would have given tliein all time to cool off, and they probably would S not have had any war. They say that | basdball has done more to civilize the I Philippines than the American army, J constabularies and missionaries put to gether." j The stadium fever continues to | spread throughout the land. Philadel-1 I pliia anil Chicago civic associations are j now discussing the feasibility of erect ing immensive structures capable of seating 1(10,000 spectators. It is the idea of those fostering the plans that | stadiums of this size can lie used for i many purposes, such as big football ; : games, track meets, pageants, choral I ! festivities and military displays. The [ estimated cost ranges from one to two million dollars and the receipts, on pa- 1 per at least, are expected to equal all j , disbursements in the course of a few 1 years.

EVERS' CONDITION IMPROVES Physicians Declare Braves' Captain in No Immediate Danger New York, Dec. 12.—The condition of J aim n v Evers, captain of the Boston National League baseball flu'b, who is confined in a local hotel suffering from pneumonia, was reported as unchanged yesterday.

According to this statement, Evers, while not entire ly out of danger, is resting comfortably and tlhere is no occasion for alarm re garding his condition. His wife, who arrived from Trov Thursday night, is at his bedside, and several friends and officials of the Bow ton Club are at the hotel.

Baker, president of the Phillies, WE is not in Philadelphia yesterday, and the interview with Hans Lobert regarding a contract for next season did not take place. Baker is in New York with Pat 'Moran trying to fix up a deal for Charley Dooin and will not be here be fore Monday. Lobert called at the Phillies' office yesterday afternoon, hut did not talk 'baseball to any one. It is not thought there will he any trouble in getting the third baseman to put his name to a contract, providing the salary offer ed is somewhere near what Lobert ex pects to get from the Federals if lie jumlps.
