HORNSBY HAS '
GREAT RECORD
Leads National League
at Bat for Fourth
Consecu‘tive
-Season—-,Equal‘s
Record of Wagner
In passing the fall crop of laurel
from brow to brow. one of the most
worthy candidates seems to have
been overlooked in the mild furore
over the world's series and the gen-
eral stampede to acclaim our Mr.
Ruth. .L’nof‘ticlal averages for the
season of 1923 had Rogers Hornsby.
ot the St. Louis Cardinals. leading
the National League in hitting. It
was his fourth successive year at
the top. equalling a record that has
stood these twelve years. but the
boys who daily the statistics were
counting their fingers or something.
They gave Hornsby‘s efforts scant at-
tention if any.
Yet it represented an achievement.
almost monumental in its import-
ance. Only one other National Lea-
guer, “'agner the Great. over top-
ped tho 1 ational League in hitting
for four couscoutive seasons and
Han's averages suffer by comparison.
provided a comparison can be deem-
ed of any particular value. For our
part it can not.
In the years that “’agnermrcvnll-
bd namely 1906 to 1000 inclusive the
great German faced such pitchers as
Mathewson“. Mordlcai Brown. Md-
Ginnlty, Phlllippl. Overall and Ruc—
kcr. immortals all. Ilc had few me-
diocrities against him such as Horns-
by trillcs with today. Neither was he
granted the boon of. seeking the mod-
ern “Jackrabbit" ball. In view of
these considerations the following
records are almost parallel. if they
.J i not actually favor the departed
:21an
“'agner—lotls. .339: 1907,
1918, .354. and 1009. .339.
Ilornsby—1920. .370: 1021. .897;
1922. 401. and 19:3. 385 (unofficial.)
There is much to be said on both
sides of the question. Hornsby
hasn‘t led the league in eight out. of
twelve years. as TVngner did between
1900 and 1011. He hasn't had the
chance. And on the other hand.
Hornsby is the 'only National Lea-
guer. to hit over .400. W'agner in-
cluded. since the days of Ed Dela-
hanty. '
American League men of course
may decline to become exercised over
either man in view of the fact. Ty
Cobb topped that organization for
nine years between 1907 and 1015,
resumed again in 1917, 1918 and
1010. and three times ranged beyond
the .400. However. Cobb is Cobb.
'In addition. he swings from the
left side of the plate. as have all
great American League hitters of
the modern era. with the exception
of Harry Hellmann. The left swing
stakes the hitter to more than a. step
going down to first. The National
League has not had a. really great
left-hand hitter during the present
century. This may account for the
fact that only Hornsby and Wagner
have dominated its hitting for any
protracted period.
But lest we forget. Hornsby is still
playing baseball, according to' the
best of advices. His career is be-
fore him.

Stamford scored twice in the sec-

over by the speedy quarterback who
skirted right end on the play. Stam-
ford scored late in the third quarter
when Bella took the ball through the
line for five yards and a touchdown.
The Stamford line proved a. bar-
rier for any line bucking on the part
of the Academy boys who were
forced to resort to kicking and aerial
tactics throughout the entire stage
of the game. The Webb Academy
team tried time and time. again to
break through the Stamford line in
the second half but without avail
except for the interference of Gio-
vanouccl's punt. .
In the last quarter. Stamford went

The news of the defeat of Zev in

caused much disappointment to the

that the details of the race could
have been settled to the satisfaction
of Harry Sinclair. owner of Zev.
The proposed international match
race idea however. has not yet been
abandoned altogether. and it is
thought probable overtures would be
made to the ovvner of the winn'r in
today’s race. although it is felt here
that if the event is held and the
French horse wins. it would not be
as conclusive in proving the superior-
ity» of the French bred horses as
would have been the case had Zev
defeated all opposing. and own
himself America's best beyond oubt.
