He ii s great fielder, but he cannot hit The above applies to almost all present-day shortstops, though why it should be true has not been aniwered. It ii not unusual to aee a first baseman, a sec ond baseman or a third baseman hit in the .300 class, but for some un known reason shortstops of today hardly rank as fair hitters. Most of them are so light on the attack that they are known aa weak batsmen. Hans Wagner, now closing his ca reer at short for the Pirates,' has been the one notable exception during the last few yeara, Hana went through seventeen consecutive aeasona in the National class, but in his last two seasons even Honus has fallen victim to the light hitting germ which has affected the shortstops. Hans fin iihed the 1914 and 1915 season! under .275. But this mark is high for short' stops. In the dave when most of the ores ent-day managers were getting their base ball schooling in the majors heavy hitting shortstops were not un common. Hugh Jennings, now with the Tigers, hit above .300 in seven sea sons between lnyl and 1899, and in later yean Hughey was rated as a heavy hitter, even though he failed to sain membership in the select cir cle. George Davia,' who did his best work with the Giants and the White Sox, was another hard hitter. Start ing in 1893, Davit batted above the .300 mark for nine successive seasons. In four of these campaign! Davit bat ted above .330. a mark which hai been unknown to latter-day shortstops, Wagner excepted. v Long Cricked Pill, Herman Long, once a star with the old Boston Nationals, who closed his major league career with the Detroit Tigers s few yeara ago, wai another ihortstop of the old school who tailed to show any great weakness with the stick. In four aeasona Long ranked close to .325 with the nick, and he wai alwavt regarded aa a dangerous hitter while he waa able to play regu larly. Bill uahlen batted his way into the .300 class in three campaigns, and in two of these he batted above ,360. lohn M. Ward was a .300 hitter in three campaign! and close to the mark in many more. f.d McKean ot tne old Cleveland Spiden wai in the le lect circle no leu than lix times. Tommv Corcoran, thouah not as suc cessful as those above mentioned in netting into the select circle, man aged to reach the coveted clan once and come close to it in other lea ions. All these playera were itari in the field and far more dangeroui with the itick than the ihortstops of to day. - Joe Tinker, while never a .300 bate- man in his Cub days, was more dan gerous than most present-day players. Fletcher la Beit,, J The best .hitting shortstop of the new school ii Art Fletcher of the Giants.it He has been McGraw'a regu lar in this position since 1911 and he hat batted .319, .282, .297 and .286. Last season Fletcher batted only .254 and this year he ii hitting about .270. Kotrer reckinpaugh ot the Yankees. gene, .'.ly rated aa the best defensive shortstop in base ball, is one of the light hitteri. Peck batted .268 in 1913, but in no other campaign in the ma jor league! hai he batted above ,235. Duck Weaver ot the White box. who hai been the regular for the past tour years, nai not gone Deyona xi ince he came to thdtSox, In two campaigns he batted under .250. Rabbit Maranville of the Braves, an other of the great shortstop! of the diy, has not closed a campaign with a mark above .250. In 1912, hii firat year with the Bravei, Maranville bat ted ..W for a few games in the closing days of the race. In the three inter vening campaigna ht has batted be tween .240 and .250. Donie Bush of the Tigen ii another who must be classed ai a weak bats man. Bush joined the Tigen in 1908 and batted .294 for twenty games. He batted ,273 in 1909, but never hai mached that mark aince. In three campaigna he has batted about .230. and twice he finiahed with a mark of about .250. . . Barry Is Weak. Jack Barry during hit davi in the great Athletic infield wai the weakeit hitter of that quartet. Once he batted .275, but in all other canmaia-na he hit below .265. In the last two cam paign! be hai batted .242 and .244, but now he is a iccond baieman. George McBride of the Senators ii anotnrr oi tne lame class. He is a great fielder, but in eight consecutive campaigns he has failed to bat above .235. Four times he batted between .230 and .235, and three times he has batted below .215. Ray Chapman of the Indians, who was shitted recently to third base, batted above the ordinary run of shortstops while he held down the position. He started with .312 for thirty-one games in 1913. but in the intervening campaigns he lias hit be tween ,J80 and S7. , . The latest crop of shortstop follow out the rule. Everett Scott of the Red Sox hit at a .201 clio last season. and Lavan of the Browns batted .218 for 157 games. Bancroft of the Phil lies, in hia Ant aeason as a major leaguer, hit at a .254 clip. O'Mara batted .244 for Brooklyn last season. Now cornea Wortman of the Cubs. They are saying the aame about him. He ii a great fielder, but he cannot hit If Miller Huggini would play Roger Horniby at shortstop regu larly the rule of weak hitting might be smashed, but Hornsby is being played everywhere, and there ii no telling where he will finiih up aa a regular.

GOTHAM HOPES JIM - COFFEY TOMES BACK Irishman Had Big Following i" New Tork and His Success Will Help Game. FIGHTS LIKE JACK DILLON Standing of Teams New York, Sept. 2. Will Jim Cof fey ever again become a Star? It is seldom that a boxer comes back after being knocked out when the dream wallop comes after he hai reached a point near the top. The shock and disappointment are too great, In almost his first bout Coffey waa knocked cold in due round by Soldier, Keams. That did not hand icap him in the least, and he went on as though nothing had happened, showing improvement in every, bout. But since the Morgan affair Coffey hat shown unmistakable evidence . of having become gunshy. Hia ; confi dencein himself hai been affected se riously, and though he atill ii in his prime physically, he may never again show good form, ? ' Coffey'a bout with Jack Dillon thii month will tell the tale. A victory over the giant killer would not only restore hit confidence in himself, but would bring back hia old . following and make him more popular than ever. Although Coffey proved a failure when put to the teat, he has been a big factor in local boxing. It it many yean lince a local heavyweight de veloped auch a following as Coffey naa wncn nc was winning nia ngnis last winter.' If it hadn't been for Coffey the recent Willard-Moran bout would not have been held, for it waa because of the enthusiasm over the heavyweight! that Coffey stirred up that enabled Tex Rickard to see hia way clear to put up auch a big purse. lo have a local idol ii a great thing tor boxing, ana as there leems to be no one else capable of filling the bill, it ia to be hoped that the big Irishman makes good when he start again. : CuUs From the Wire Effort! to Attttln piatr of th Buian B.

Return Bout With the Title-Holder. WOULD ALSO MEET BURNS New York, Aug. 26. Out on his farm in Delano, Minn., a few miles from St. Paul, Johnny Ertle, claimant of the bantamweight title since he gained a decision over Kid Williams, is working out daily in preparation for his fall campaign. Ertle has writ ten relatives here that he expects to leave for the east late this month or early in September and will be ready for a very busy season in the ring. Ertle has been resting ince his re cent victory over Johnny Ritchie of Chicago during the democratic con vention week at St. Louis. - . A bout with Kid Williams, to Drove that he can defeat the Baltimore boy without any assistance in the form of a foul, is the aim of the little west erner. Ertle charges that Williams has been none too anxious for a re turn bout and cites as an instance the falling through of the proposed match last April after Mike McNulty, his manager, had accepted terms. Harry towards. promoter, offered Ertle a guarantee of $2,500 for a bout with Williams. Mcrtulty lost no time in accepting it. "Go, get the Kid and the match is on, is the remark made to Edwards by the manager of the Minnesota bantam. It was quite a disappoint ment ' to Ertle that the match fell through, and he plans to keep after the Baltimore boy until he satisfies fistic followers that he is Williams' master ia the ring. brtle writes that he would be very pleased to meet Williams in a New York ring, but will not let this point interfere with a match. He is also anxious to meet Frankie Burns, the Jersey City bantamweight, who has been a leading contender tor the title for some years. It is possible that a bout with Burns will be the first of Ernie's coming bouts in the east. Napoleon Direct . Wins It Straight Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Sept. 2. Napoleon Direct, driven by E. F.

Government Fosters Egg Industry . n Ireland "Gee, we sure are full up on tour luments just now," said a Small bdy as he gazed at the score board at the Umaha ricld club. But the boy was wrona. The sheets now on the board, which record the progress of the city tournament for women, the kids' tournament and the Field club junior tournament, will have to be shifted around and space found for anothei), which starts today. The new tournament, which was proposed and got under way yester day abernoon, will be the first tour nament of mixed doubles ever played in Omaha. And it is going to be a very "mixed" tournament. The nams of the young ladies who yesterday afternoon promised to play and the names of those attending the dance last evening and willing to enter are to be placed in a hat and drawn to pair with the men entered. Then the "mixed pairs" will draw again for place on the score sheet. In the women's tournament Miss 'Catherine Krug has already won three games and has qualified for the semi-finals of the tournament which will decide who is to meet Miss Addie Fogg, the 1915 champion. In the three matches Hiss Krug has played her opponents have made a' total of four james against her thirty-six. Her vriends are pulling for her and expect her to win the tournament and give Miss Fogg a hard game for the cham pionship.. In the junior singles most of the -Cames in the third round have, been iilayed with the following scores: C. Mullen beat W. Best, 6-2, 6-2; Buck ingham bat J. Knox, 6-2, 7-5; H. Rathsack beat Hugh Brainerd, 4-6, 6-3, 6-1; Al Mayer, beat Dillon Mc Adams, 6-4, 6-3; v H. Green beat Nicholson, 6-4, 6-1; J. Jordan beat R. Jefferson, 6-2J 6-2. Ege and Kyser and Wilson and Adams" still have games to play in the third round. Dopesters on the game think that Green has an excellent chance to run through the lower half of the drawing and meet Wilson, Buckingham, or Ege in the finals. There is no chal lenge round. ; Kids Start Play. The "kid tournament, in which boys from 1 to 14 years old, are eligi ble, is complete in the first round, as follows: Otto Nelson won by de fault; Berckle beat J, Peters, 6-0, 6-2; A. B. Jeffries beat Osmond Perry, 6-2, 6-3; Calvert beat H. Moser, 6-3, 6- 3; C. Puis beat I. Ingwersen, 6-1, 7- 5, and W. Preston beat D. Mc Adams, 4-6, 6-2, 6-4. t ,: -." The only game of the second round played by 6 o'clock last evening, was the one in which Berekle beat Otto Nelson, 6-3, 6-0, and thus qualified for the semi-finals. It ia hoped that most of the games will be played off by-Monday evening in order to give the kids and the juniors a clear field for a good score in the school tourna ment, which opens in the class rooms Tuesday morning. Gibbons Doesn't Hanker ' To Tackle Jack Dillon New York, Sept 2. Mike Gibbons evidently wants none of Jack Dillon. This has been proved through an at tempt to match the St. Paul phantom and the Indianapolis boxer for a bout ! at St. Paul on Labor day. A St. Paul promoter got Dillon's consent to a the Philadelphia Xjnatch with Gibbons, and Mike's first cunuiuuii was 11111 union mane iuv pounds. Jack agreed to do this. When. Gibbons had been cornered by the promoter in order that terms might be signed, Mike demanded a guaran tee of $15,000 and a percentage of the receipts. This was out of the ques tion. Dillon wanted only $5,000. The failure to make the match caused Dil lon to come out with a challenge to Gibbons, in which he offered to make 160 pounds at 3 o'clock and post a forfeit of $2,500, for weight and ap pearance.
