ONLY ONE HIGHLANDER IN THE "SELECT SET"

MILLER HITTING .318 FOR GILBERT'S HORDE

Highlander Outfielder OuJy Member of Clan In "Charmed Circle"— Spencer Topi Field.

By Ralph H. While.

Of the eleven Central batsmen hittins .300 or better who have played in tor. or more games, but one i.s a member of the Highlander outfit. Said one is none other than Tom Miller, who, incidently, has secured the big majority of Ms blows on the road. The big right iield(:r Is touting at a .31S clip and ranks ninth :n the'field ol',.300 stickei's. Up 17 times, Miller has exploded 34 hits, including five doubles, one triple and one circuit clout. "Deerfoct" Spencer, Dayton swatter, is topping the league with a mark of .361. The Vet outfielder has slapped o'u 51 hits in 137 times at bat. He has 10 doubles, .two triples and S homers to his credit. Donnelly, South Bend backstop, is second with .255, with Wbelan, Evansville inflelder, third, with .336.

The other .300 batsmen and their averages follow Ivoehler, South Bend, .332 Knoll, Evansville, .331 Duncan, Grand Rapids. .327 Hauler, Evansville, .326 Wisher, Muskegon, .319 Bashang, South B»?nd, .317, and Altenberg, Wheeling, .300.

One glance at the official averages as Kiven out by Pres. E. W Dickerson will convince any one why the clan isn't winning The gang isn't hitting. Here are a few figures

Mitchell, .244 Wagner, .235 La Ross, .222 Schettler, .217 Gygli, .208 Gray, .2')D Evers, .1S9 Cramer, .160 Gilbert, .133.

New Sinn Hits .420.

Joe Mathes, the new outfielder, has been up seven times and has poked out three hits, an average of -429. Charlie French, the second baseman who was prevented from breaking in until the last Dayton Series bocausc of a busted thumb or finger, we forget which, is also hitting well. In 19 times at bat, Charlie has secured eight bingles, an average of .421.

But with nine of the Highlanders b«-lrw the .250 mark, including outfielders who should be good hitters, it is easy to surmise why the clan is now resling in the second division. Be that as it may, the Highlander management is after an outfielder or two, it is understood, and ere long the clan should climb high in the race. The pitching strength is there ar.d in Bill Wagner the team has the best backstop in the leacue. Mitchell is recognized as the leading shortstop, while Charlie French is an equal of any second sacker in the circuit. Give that outlay some hitting anil the club is sure to go.

Normal Held To 44 Draw By Normal

By Edgar L. Morphet.

The State Normal baseball team battled the Central Normal nine to a 4 to 4 tie. at Parsons field, yesterday afternoon, the game being called in the seventh inning on account rain. The weather was threatening from the start and the players worked in a drizzle during most of the game. In the last half of the fifth, with the score standing 4 to 1, In favor of the visitors, play had to be stopped for Beveral minutes. The rain slacked, however, and the players mudded it out for another inning and a half, with a result of three more runs ttf the credit of the Teachers in their half.

The game was the last of the season for the Teachers and the last game in which several of the men will participate. A feature of the game was the presentation of a box of flowers to the State Normal players by Misses Emma Barnes and Lelia Stevens, representing a delegation of Normal girls.

Neither team was able to score in the first frame, but in the second a single, followed by an error by Wilson, and an overthrow, followed by a second single, netted two runs for the visitors. Again, in the fourth, a single, followed by an error and Schaeffer's double, sent two more runs across for the visitors.

The Teachers tallied first, In the fifth, when Brown was safe on an error, advanced to third on a wild pitch and a sacrifice, and scored on Clodfelter's drive past short. In the sixth, Flint started the fireworks with a single, took second on an error and scored when Lankford sent one to center field. Boston was hit by a pitched ball, .pushing Crim, running for Lanxford, to sccond. Both advanced on Clark's sacrifice and came in on Brown's timely single, tying the score. Shortly after this the game had to be stopped.

Braugher started for the Teachers and was in good form, but was given poor support. Four hits were obtained oft his delivery, and he fanned four batsmen. Brown, who went to the mound in the fourth, was in good form, permitting, but two hits and fanning four.

The contest scheduled for this afternoon between the seniors and faculty was expected to prove the feature contest of the season, providing the weather man did not again interfere". Some old-time stars were expected to show up in the ranks of the faculty, while new ones were expected to show up for the seniors.

CLAN GENEROUS TO FINALE

Hands Wheeling Four of Five Tallies, and Gets But Two. Both Earned.

By Ralph H. White.

Any times a ball club is donated a aqj uo qSnoj s.^j.sajn'Bl JO ij-bj other fellows. An example of this was worked out at the yard yesterday afternoon in the final setto of the series, and, as luck would have it, the Highlanders were the other fellows.

The score was 5 to 2. Just four of the five Stogie credits were gifts that is, kicks were largely instrumental in their making, and, as might be surmised, tho few faithful fans present were in a dangerous frame of mind as they "beat it" for town. True, a downpour at the end didn't set well, but it was the sloppy playing, not the sloppy weather that caused the disgust.

The victim of this generosity was none other than our old side-kick, R. Wellington Gilbert, clan chieftain. Yes, we'll admit the foe secured a total of nine bingles, but, with proper support, the southpaw leader would have grabbed off the nomination, 2 to 1.

But what's the use? The bobbles did it, and that's all there is to it. Let us cite one other example of a break that walloped Boss Rufus in the "kisser." It came in the second Inning, when a clout or two wou'd have perhaps altered the entire affair. Mathes was on first, when Gilbert weighed in with a murderous ihreebagger to right. Said knock naturally scored the new outfielder, but Gilbert wasn't afforded the least bit of assistance, and he wis forced to stick around the far sack and witness the death of the next three Highlanders to face Seibold, the Stogie slabbist. Can you beat it?

The other local counter was chalked up in the ninth, after the enemy had been slipped a couple in the first half of the final stanza. Gray's blow did it.

If you care to go any further, slant the fiings. Going down with a slugging outfielder needed, and bidly.'

Paris to Since Shoot June 29. PARIS, 111., Jv.ne 10.—June 29. is tho date set by the Paris Gun club for the first annual registered shoot. Cash prizes will be offered! and craok shoot^er? from all over this section of the country are expected to participate. Among the professionals who will be present are A. H. Ammann, Murray Ballou, Jr„ H. W. Oadwallader, Art Killur.i and Bart Le,wis.

At Wheeling today.

The clan will also visit Dayton ere returning home.

Both teams went down in one. two, three order in the first inning. Altenberg and Evers, rival lead-off men, both fanned to start the respective halves.

Scheeren hit to Gilbert to start the second and, in throwing to 'flr*t, the boss wrenched his leg and fell to the ground. Gygli missed the pes, and the batsman was safe. Lear forced his pal at second, took second on King's crash to right and connted when French's wide chnck to sccond escaped Mitchell. Reilly tapped to Mitchell, who nailed Kins at third, and Reilly was heaved out, trying to steal second.

Wagner walked with two gone, in the clan's half, but Gray fouled ou^.

Blackwell, first up in the third, poled n Texas leaguer to right, advanced on Seiboid's sacrifice, went to third on Altenberg's out, and registered when Cleveland hopped one over Gilbert's dome. Cleveland went out, trying to steal.

Mathes poked one to left in the flan's half and raced around on Gilbert's triple to right. Kvers couldn't bring his boss in, going out, Callahan to I-ear, and neither could Mitchell, who popped out. Gygll, however, wnlked and took second on a muff of a thrown ball by Lear. Miller also drew

xfree

transportation, filling the bases. French ended the opening by fouling out to Cleveland. What wouldn't a blow hnve accomplished

With Callahan gone in the fourth, Gilbert hit Scheeren on the leg: with a wild pitch. "I didn't know he had so much," said Fritz, after rubbing the injured member. The slip proved costly, as Douglass, running for Scheeren, scored on Reilly's hit and Miller's error, after Lear had fouled out and King had walked, the first pass issued by Rufus. lllackwell ended It by lifting out to Mathes.

The .first half of the sixth was uneventful, but three Stogies performing Gray threw out two of the three and GilUe got the other. There was

nothing startling in the last half, either. Gygli, Miller and French were the consecutive victims.

One, two, three for the clan all three perishing via the airline route.

But three batsmen faced Gillie in the first of the fifth. The same held good in the clan's half, three Highlanders lifting out.

Reilly put an end to the monotony in the seventh, singling to center with one down, lllackwell, however, popped out to Gilbert, and Seibold forced Reilly at second.

Mathes tore off a single in the last half, with two down, tho third off Seibold, but was forced at second bv

Altenberg's speed enabled him to beat out a roller to French to start the eighth, but Cleveland forced him at second, Gilbert to Mitchell. Caliahan shot one to left, Cleveland stooping at second. Scheeren hit one down the left foul line, which Gray grabbed with his gloved mitt and stepped on third forcing Cleveland. It was a great catch. Many thanks, Dolly' Lear walked, filling the bases,' but Kinslined out to Miller, retiring the side.

Evers, first up in the last half popped out. Mitchell skied out Altenberg making one of his sensational catches. It was pure robber*v. Gve-H also skied out.

Reilly opened the ninth with a crash too hot for Mitchell, and moved down on Blnckwell's sacrifice. Seibold ,vas safe on Gygll's error and Altcnlicrs got a life on Mitchell's boot, lteilly scoring. Cleveland smote aafel-r to center, Seibold going over. Cleveland stole, and Callahnn walked, loading- the bases. Scheeren forced Altenberg at home, Mitchell to Wagner.

Walter Johnson, usually a good hitter, didn't get a blow in four times up.

Washington afforded Johnson giltedge support.

'Ruth, Boston hurler, tore off three hits, one a homer, in as many times at bat. Who said a heaver couldn't hit?

Tv Cobb's two blows helped the Tigers in their closing rallies, which guvo Lhem a win over the Red Sox.

Be Held In St. Louis

ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 10.—The St. Louis boxing commission has given its sanction for twelve-round bouts instead of eight. This action was not taken until after conferring with the local authorities and indicates the confidence which the latter have in the personnel of the commission.

This will be a great boon *o boxing here. Twelve rounds is a reasonable distance in which to determine a winner without entailing too great a strain upon the contestants. It is a distance, however, which will require training, and this should insure the good condition of those boxers who are engaged for these bouts.

The commission announced that if the fights are clean, the limit may be extended beyond twelve rounds later. Meanwhile, the new rule will go into effect after the Wolgast-Russell bout, Tuesday.

Oiants' Star Outfielder

Started As a Hurler

Dave Robertson, the wonderful young player of the Giants, was a pitcher in a North Carolina league when John McGraw first signed him. Robertson broke his pitching shoulder while playing football during the succeeding autumn. Doctors said he never could pitch a gain. McGraw sent him to Mike Finn, at Mobile, to be developed into a first baseman. Finn found out that Robertson could still throw, and put him in the outfield, to the great offense of McGraw. it is said. Now Robertson is one of the best men in baseball.
