Seems strange to look at the Na-
tional League batting averages and
not see the familiar name of Ilogers
liornsby heading the list.
With the season about one-third
lover. Hornsby. one of the greatest
' batters in the history of the game.
is No. 25 in the ranking.
However. Hornsby isn't so far
away from the top as the difference
between 1 and 25 would make it
seem. Measured in percentage fig-
ures. just 39 points separate Horns-
by from Cuylcr, the league leader. ’
“he only possible explanation that
can be offered for Horllsby's slump is
Ithat the added responsibilities of
managing the St. Louis Cardinals
have affected his batting average.
It is also possible that Hornsby
thus been hitting in hard luck. By
that I mean he has been meeting the
ball hard. but always straight at
somebody.
The element of luck plays its part
even with the greatest of batsmen.
l U 0
Hornsby's present batting average.
which is at least 50 points below
normal. is certain to be considerably
bcttered before the close of the sea-
son.
If he falls to lend the National
‘I.eaguo in batting this year. it will
eliminate the only big league player
with a chance to equal or better
Cobb's remarkable foul of leading a.

The Pastimes have a strong out-

At the close of the 1925 campaign
Hornsby had six consecutive baiting
championships of the N a t i on al
League to his credit.
In the south. during spring train-
ing. he expressed to me the belief
that he had an excellent chance to
equal if not better Cobb's mark.
With the seasdn one-third over.
his chances of capturing the 1926
crown are not so bright. but I am
still of the opinion that at the close

I am positive Horllsby is deeply
disappointed at the showing of ills

Not inclined to boast and always
reticent about offering predictions.
llornsby made this remark to me at
San Antonio this spring:
"There are only two ball clubs in
the National League I fear. .\cw
York and Pittsburgh.
“You can take that as a prediction
that I believe the Cardinals will tin-
ish third. And a team able to stick
in the first division is always with-
in striking distance of a pennant.

Away to a poor start. the St. Louis
Cardinals have failed to live up to
the Spring predictions of Manager
Ilornsby and the baseball experts in

looked mighty good to me in the
south.
Hornsby was fearful of his pitch-
ing and with the exception of Bhem
and Keen. he had ample grounds.

worry. I am sure the failure of his;
