TUB SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 24, 1922 :TY COBB MAY LEAD ALL BATTERS YET Steady Climb in Averages Is Shown by Veteran. ' SISLER IS OUT OF GAME Injured St. Louis Star 2 7 Points Ahead, bat May Not Be Able to Continue Hitting. CHICAGO, Sept. 23. (By the Associated Press.) Tyrus Raymond Cobb, batting champion of the American league for 12 out of 15 years, may realize his ambition to be crowned with that coveted honor this year. The Detroit veteran, in his flight to overtake George Sisler of the Browns, today is just 27 points be hind the St. Louis star, but with Sis ler Injured and it uncertain as to just how much mora baseball he can play ' this season. Cob has a chance to pass him provided he averages two hits or more for the remaining games of the season and Sisler is unable to continue his nor mal pace. Sisler's average, including games of Wednesday, is .418, compared with a mark of .421 a week ago, a falling off of six points. Cobb is collecting hits to the tune of .391 and is displaying no indication of slowing up as the club swings into the final stretch of the race. But Sisler's heart and soul is in baseball 'and it is almost an impossibility to keep him out of the game, de snite physician's orders. Ha Insists upon getting into his uniform, even though he does not get into the line- ' up, so that he may be ready to take a crack at the ball when caiiea as " a pinch hitter. His absence from the game may help the "Georgia reacn in his quest tor the batting honors. Sister Leads in Thefts. Cobb led the American league every year from 1907, with the ex ception of 1916, when Tris Speaker of the Indians took the honors, and in 1920, when Sisler was crowned king, and last season when Harry Heilmann of the Tigers crowded Cobb out of first place. Sisler's mark for stolen bases ap pears to be safely tucked away, as his 47 thefts is 13 better than his closest rival. Ken Williams, a team mate. Williams bagged a brace of home runs during the past week and is tied with Rogers Hornsby with 39 for the leadership of the major leagues. . Other leading batters for 100 or more games: Speaker, Cleveland, .376; Heilmann, Detroit, .357; Tobin, St. Louis, .331; Galloway, Philadel phia, .330; Pipp, New York, .329; Williams, St. Louis, .328; Ed Miller, Philadelphia, .323; Bassler, Detroit, .328; Severeid, St. Louis, .325; Veach, Detroit, .324; Schang, New York, J2i; Meusel. New York, .324. Rogers Hitting; .309 Now. Rogers Hornsby, the St. Louis star, who for the last two years has carried off premier batting honors of the National league, has launched a final drive to boost his 1922 aver age above the coveted .400 mark. The .St. Louis favorite is on the brink of his ambition, the figures showing him hitting .399. In 1920 he topped the league hitters with a mark of .370, and last season romped off with the honors with an average or .3M . Hornsby fell Into a slump early Jn AuguBt, but when Jimmy Tierney of the Pirates and Hack Miller of the Cubs began to threaten he re covered his batting eye and started to pull away. This drive was started about the middle of August, when he was hitting only .374. He has steadily increased and at the rate he is traveling he will easily reach nis goal the .400 mark. Tierney Suffer Slump, In his last seven games, Hornsby cracked out 13 hits, three of which pere doubles and four were home runs. Tierney, who has been tagging nurnsDys neeis, suriered a slump during the past week, but continues to De the runner-up, with an aver age of .372. Miller of the Cubs is in third place, with an average of .357. The averages Include games or Wednesday.

NEW YORK HAS NEW BOXER Dane, 19, Seeks Meeting With Jack Dempsey. NEW YORK, Sept. 23. Make way . brothers another likely-looking chap has thrown his "John Henry" into the select circle. Knute Han sen, a strapping young Dane of 19 summers, standing over six feet and possessing a perfect boarding house rea-ch, chanced -into the town of Gotham a few days back In search of action, caring little as to what kind, It was or from whence t came. The "unknown's" main ambition is to swap man-klllers with none other than Jack Dempsey. The gentleman in question is a native of Copenhagen, coming to this country with his parents when a wee child, landing with his par ents at Racine, Wis., and making his residence there ever since. He's a novice at the game in the true sense of the word, but, accord ing to reports from eastern boxing circles, he's a real prospect with a bright-looking future predicted for him. HARVARD NEEDS NEW MEN Buell's Kicking Big Feature In Grid Team. NEW YORK, Sept. 23. Of tho 24 Harvard men who earned their let ters against Yale last November only 11 will be available for the team this season. Of the 11 players who started against the Ells, Henry Clark at center and Charles Hub bard at right tackle are the only linemen available again, but the en tire backfield, consisting of Captain Charley Buell at quarter and George Owen, Phil Cobnrn and.Ros coe Fitts as his running mates, is down to try to hold its 1921 honors. Harvard is lucky to have a cap tain like Charley Buell. His drop kicking has' pulled the Crimson through several narrow plaoes 'the last two seasons and has brought his team much-needed points. WHITMAN COLLEGE. Walla Walla, Wash., Sept. 23. (Special.) With only two weeks to the Uni versity of Idaho game here on Octo ber 7 and four weeks to the Uni versity of Oregon game at Pendle ton, October 20, which he considers the toughest game on his schedule. Coach Borleske faces the task of turning out a Whitman eleven from a large squad of light and inexperi enced men. With 13 lettermen of last year's northwest conference championship team expected to return and three from previous years, as well as sev eral second-string men of 1921, Whitman counted on having the strongest team in its history this fall. But one blow after another has crippled the squad until now it does not present even a formid able appearance. Captain Ben Comrada, All-Northwest tackle and team captain, grad uated, as did Ralph Emigh, guard. Then came word that Harold Black man, end and punter, was- married and would not return. Next, Her man Leander, the other of Whit man's powerful ends, had to leave school because .of the death of his father. Harrison, a 230-pound lad from Seattle, only a freshman, also failed to return. Bayes, a letterman In 1917, was back last spring, but has again dropped out. . So Borleske is forced to start the season minus five of the seven, vet erans who started in the Montana game last year. Captain Red Heritage, the giant right tackle. and Bill Lucht, fighting center, are all that remain. Lucht has been switched to guard and Ratchford, a letterman last year, placed at the other guard. Boyd of the 1919 team, a weak lineup, will take Comrada's place at left tackle. Art Walther, who broke his leg in the first three minutes he played In the opening game of the season last year, prob ably will draw. the center assign ment owing to his passing ability, although he is exceedingly light. Morlock, the Carr brothers, Conley and Woods are second-string line man, but all are sadly lacking in experience. At ends Borleske probably will use his two substitute wingmen of last reason. Holmes and Schroeder, both light men. Holmes will re place Blackman as punter. Since Ray Dean, end on the 1920 lineup, has turned in his suit because of an injured ankle, hurt in baseball last spring no HKeiy looking ena sud- stitutes are in sight. Lackey is a hard tackier, but small and inexperir enced. In the backfield much depends on whether Claude Norris, the negro fullback, returns as he has promised. Roe will be at quarter again. He weighs only 140 pounds, but makes up for that by shiftiness and speed. Earl Tilton, right half, is on the job again after once retiring, but Harold Shepherd, left halfback, has tailed to return. dlvlduals of the game. Ha is not only called upon to race down the field every few minutes at a ten second gait on kicks and forward passes, but during his afternoon du ties he is called upon often to have defensive relation with players much larger and heavier than him' self. During the last few seasons there has been euch a scarcity of good ends that backfield material has been taken to fill toe demand. As "the modern idea of play la worked out each season, the coaches find more and more work for the ends to do. GIANTS' TRIPLE PLAY ODD Call of Infield Fly Kesults. In Curious Diamond Mixup, A triple play oddly put together was turned out by the Giants in the second inning of a recent game against the Phillies. With Lee on first base and Leslie on second In that inning Jimmy Smith raised a fly over the edge of the diamond in right center. Frisch backed out for the ball and Umpire Klem properly called an Infield fly, which auto matically retired Smith. At this moment Frisch stepped aside to let Young, who had come charging In, make the catch. Instead of catch ing the ball Young trapped It. Les lie, possibly because he didn't know an Infield fly had been called, or possibly because he saw the ball hop on Leslie, was also retired. Lee, meanwhile, had started for second and Groh whipped the ball across the diamond to Kelly, who tagged Lee, as that young man, hav. lng changed his mind, tried to get back to first base. An infield fly having been called, Leslie and Lee could have held their bases regard less of what Young did with the ball, but, of course, they ran at their peril the moment the pellet touched the ground. - BADGER ELEVEN LIGHT PACIFIC UNIVERSITY SQUAD LACKS OREGON'S WEIGHT. 4 CLIMAX IS PREPARED FOR PORTLAND DAY AT FAIR.

Contest Develops Between Mac Brown and Wallie Dailey " for Quarterback. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, Seattle, Sept. 23. (Special.) Coach Bagshaw will give Jimmy Bryan, the 195-pouitd basketball captain, a chance behind the line. In the first week of practice Bryan was worki.ig with the linemen, but yesterday Baggy shifted him to the backfield and used him In scrim mage. Bryan played both back- field and line In 1920. but was forced out last year by illness. While the line seems pretty well fixed, with Captain Ingram, Walters, Kuhn, Petrie, Grimm and possibly McCreary to fill the holes, the back field still is a puzzle. It is almost certain to be much lighter than the line. The race for quarterback, In the absence of Hanley, who may go to Stanford, seems to have become a contest between Mac Brown and Wallie Dailey. Brown barked sig nals for Baggy some last year and Dailey, a brother of Crum Daily, former Washington halfback and trackman, played quarter on one of the freshmen teams last 'year. Dailey is short and stubby, but passes well and Is sure on tackles. In practice the other day, Leo Zill was kicking' to him an dhs was able to returns most of his punts yard for yard.. - For the other backfield Jobs Baggy has Wilson and Zeil, who can kick well. Harper is showing well for the plunging job. Last year'a freshmen backs, Sherman, Hay, Abel and Wilson, are not very heavy. End Rush Important. Early season attention to football candidates will be directed toward the ends. The end rush under the present style of football has be come one of the most important In-; PACIFIC UNIVERSITY, Forest Grove, Sept. 23. (Special.) With the University of Oregon game just a week away. Coach Frank of Pa cific university is losing his pre season cargo of confidence. On the field the Badger squad looks like a million 4ollars as it clicks smooth ly through signal practice on Mc Cready field night after night. But when interviewed, Coach Frank shakes his head doubtfully and mut ters, 'Not enough beef." -He is not able to plug tho holes left In the veterans' lineup by such men as Lane and Sheeley, who were gradu ated last cpring. ' Walker, the 200 pound guard, is not returning to Pacific this fall, and Long, another man of much breadth and thickness, is permanently out of the game be cause of Injuries received last year. The best he is -able to do for the squad is to guide the second atring. AU this doesn't mean for a min ute that Pacific university is not aspiring to victory over the Eugene outfit. The campus spirit is scarce ly shadowed by Coach Frank's deep gloom, and a host of the Oongre gationalists are going to trail down state with the idea of bringing back the Oregon scalp. The 'wise guys" about the place are well aware, however, that the Jolt which Pacific un'versity gave Oregon -last year is not going to be easily re peated, because the state varsity is not going to be caught off Its guard again.

SANTA CLARA, Sept. 23. Swim mine to reduce the waistline. That's the latest stunt being tried by Trainer Gus Peterson of the Santa Clara varsity in an attempt to keep the rolls of fat from parking around some of the Mission stal warts. There are several husky linemen and a few backs who had accumu lated so much excess weight that Coach. Buckingham started to worry about them. Finally he turned them over to Peterson, who has made quite a reputation as a trainer and also as a swimming Instructor. "Pete" thought of the swimming stunt ' and f orthwith ordered the heavies to take a dip In the varsity pool every day. Peterson won't divulge the names of the men, but he claims that the scheme Is working. Brief Still Hitting. Bunny Brief Is etill slamming home runs into the stands in the American association. There lire few harder hitters in the game. The names of some of the pitchers Bun ny has hit for circuit clouts are sun familiar to the fans of major-league cities.

Indefinitely, because of Car pentler'ei movie prospects. It Carpentier drops th 6lkl match it's a sure thing he won't risk having Dempsey knock him out of the pictures. I see that a Frank Moran-Jo Beckett match Is causing some ex citement in England, where Moran has won a lot of fights ia tha last ten years, and is stilt regarded one of the best American heavy weights. Moran was a rugge citizen for several years, althoug never anything more than a slug cer. but his star dropped Into th sink with a loud splash when Fred Fulton knocked him out four years ago. In his few succeeding ring battles ha never was anything bu a punching bag for his opponents If Beckett can't beat Moran it time for England to look up som new heavyweight. "When tha New York boxing corn mission ruled that Johnny Dunde would lose his New York boxing license If ha boxed Johnny Kllbana In New Jersey It performed an aero batlc stunt. Dundee was proclaimed featherweight champion in New Yorkbecause Kllbana Ignored hi challenge and posted forfeit. Kll bane's world title was annulled In New York state for the same rea son. Both Dundee and Kilbane are in good standing In New Jersey and to a mere outsider It seems absurd that the New York commlsslo should claim any right to contro or even Influence boxing outside Its own state. In any case It Is entirely Hloglea to punish Dundee for boxing Kll bane, after condemning Kllbana fo not boxing Dundee. Billy Mlske,- whose knockou string was broken by Bob Koper, who fought a 12-round draw with him at Oklahoma City, says ho sees no reason why- he shouldn't be Dempsey's next opponent. Miske has been fighting In the best form of his life. Ha might beat Brennan or any of tha other heavyweights boxing around the country and still not be a match for the champion Miske told ma after his first fight with DemDsey years ago that he didn't know what happened after the fourth round and that Dempsey "must have held h Ira up. "That fellow can knock me out In half a minute any tima ha wants to." vu Miske'a exact statement. Perhaps he changed his mind lat er, for ha fought Dempsey again and did his share of fighting until ha was knocked out. He was game enough to take It. For all that the only question to be settle in an other Mlske-Dempsey match would be lust how many rounds Mlska could stay orf his feet. And that doesn't make a very Interesting bout. Jess Wlllard Is still In training in -Hollywood, determined to get tns return match for the cnampionsnip that has often been promised him. Ha has- taken off a lot of weigni and looks very good, but as yet he has not shown any promise ot me speed he'd need to win back the title. Wlllard is absolutely confi dent that he can beat Dempsey any ti inH tha country would ie sld tn see him have his chance if he first proved to me puouc maw he can get back into fighting trim after bo many years out of the ring. There's only one way he couia ao ihai If Willard would beat a couple of men say Brennan and Miske and do it In chamnionsnip styie he'd have the public behind him and Dempsey would be forced to give him his return match. But no one who knows the good-natured big fellow wants to see him beaten a9 and knocked out again as he was at Toledo. Strength and bulk, even backed by such gameneas as Wlllard dis played, won't beat Dempsey. Demp seys" greatest ring asset Is his speed. When ha loses that or when he meets some fellow who can beat him to the punch he'll go down like anyone elBe. (CopyrlgM. lt-22. by Bell Syndicate. Inc.)
