jrrraHO is the best bunter in the VY J American Association? Indianapolis baseball fans undoubtedly would answer “Sicking.'' That is probably correct. We never saw any one who could “lay ’em down” any better than Eddie. His record in sacrifice hits speaka for itself. In the last averages Sicking is credited with forty-three. The nearest one to him is Pittenger of Louisville with twenty-seven. It is interesting to note that the Colonels believe in the sacrifice, or else are very adept. J. Anderson has twenty-six. Shanks twenty-five and Guyon twenty-four. Boone, now with Louisville, is credited with twenty, but he made some of them with the K. C. Blues before transferlng to the Kentucky city. The records show that Kansas City, Louisville and Indianapolies, in the order named, are far aiiead of the other A. A. clubs In the number of sacrifice hits. But this does not tell the story it used to. ‘ Now, because of a change in the scoring rules, a batter is given a sacrifice any time he advances a runner by a b long fly. Formerly a sacrifice " on a fly was awarded only when the putout scored a man after the catch. Because of the new ruling some of the sluggers have aided their batting averages by long flies with men on the paths. Os course, the batter is not charged with a time at bat. A glance at the records will bear out this statement. Bunny Brief, veteran home run slugger, has twenty-three sacrifices to his credit. A good many of those were tremendous wallops, caught by outfielders, but which permitted baserunners to advance. The same story could be related of almost all or the “heavy” hitters. Russell of the Indians has eighteen sacrifices In his batting record and Veach of Toledo has sixteen. “Sacrifice” has taken on a broader meaning—and the broad shouldered gents have benefited. • • • mS anybody watching this Rlchbourg of Milwaukee this year? Glance at some of his achievements. He’a the lead-off -man for that tremendous Brewer hupch. He helps put the kick in the Near-Beers.. He's fast as that streak of lightning you've heard so much about. In the last averages he had made more hits, scored more runs, made more three-base hits and stolen more bases than anybody in the Association. Ha was second to Brief in total bases. Only Bruno Haas of St. Paul land Earl Smith of Minneapolis ' have made more doubler. Riehbourg was tied with.JSrirf for tr.ird honors. The only thing we ora think of that he hasn’t done is hit home runs. He doesn’t have to do that with Brief and Shulfe toDowing him. By the way, Mr. Rlchbourg doesn’t believe Ire sitting on the sidelines. Ho has played in every game this season. Where are you, big league scouts? Maybe that front handle stops 'em. Lancelot Riel.-bourg. But, surely not. There are Pe.-cy Jones of the Cubs am! Virgil Barnes of the Giants. • • • The largest stake ever offered to the harness horsemen of America, was scheduled today' on the opening program of tho' Grand Circuit racing at Syracuse, N. Y. The Hamablelnnia.u Is for three-year-old trotfer* over the mile route and the purse is $75,000. • • • |T SS DOROTHY PAGE. Western women’s golf v— champion, can not bo Interviewed very successfully as to advice for beginners. She Is only a beginner herself. The very young lady is 1" years old—Just through high school. According to a press report when asked how she won, Miss Page said, "I Just knock them toward the hole as hard as I can.” There is a lot of good sound adi vice there. A golf expert would 'have taken up a book to hand out that information.

3,000 AT DEMPSEY WORKOUT Champion Boxes Before Big Sunday Crowd at At- . lantic City. Bu United Press ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Aug. 30. —Sunday failed to halt the daily public workout of Jack Dempsey, grooming here for his battle with Tunney, and he was to continue conditioning a.s usual today. He mixed with five sparring partners in seven rounds of fast, but not altogether furious, boxing before a crowd of nearly 3,000, many! of whom were women. The crafty manner in which the champion has taken to analyzing his sparring partners’ moves, rather than lacing into them, hit or miss fashion, was noted by experts here. In the best workout of the day, a round with Jimmy Brown of Panama, he showed a desire to ward off rather than to send blows. His usual workout will take place today. It will consist of road work, shadow boxing, a round or two with the punching bag and from five to eight rounds with his partners. TO QUIT CAMP I Tunney Ready to Move to New Training Quarters. Bu United Press SPECULATOR, N. Y„ Aug. 30. Gene Tunney, after a comparatively light Sunday workout, was due to finish up his active training at this camp today with a rigorous schedule or road work and eight to nine rounds in the ring. The challenger of Dempsey will leave Tuesday afternoon for his new quarters at Stroudsburg, Pa. In the morning he probably will have a short workout to tide him over the Intervening period. Activities at Stroudsburg are not likely to get under way before Thursday. Tunney boxed four*rounds Sunday before a large crowd.
