: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. .

more games: Speaker, Cleveland,

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.
Max Carey of the Pirates has the
base-stealing honors easily sewed
up for tho season, with -44 thefts,
his closest rivals being Burns of
Cincinnati and Frisch of New York,
who are tied with 28.

NEW YORK HAS NEW BOXER
Dane, 19, Seeks Meeting With

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. -

Contest Develops Between Mac

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.

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.

and la now on for the and of Sep

again. 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.

It surely Is true that the college

be flareups, but there ara only nat

"In the old days It was customary
to look down on tha professional
baseball player. He was not con
sidered a proper person In certain
quarters. Conditions that surrounded
the game were far different from
what they ara at present. Tha

place during the last 20 years, and
the influx of college players In
great numbers has been responsible
for this to a great degree. Fur
