Batting Records
Tumble in Majors
Many Games in Big Leagues
Won Last Season With More
Than Twenty Hits.
All modern records in the depart
ment of slugging weie broken in the
American and Niticia. leagues this
year by such a wide margin that it
would be necessary to go back into
the decade bciore tne Uth century
to find a parallel. ' y
Although the abolition of freak
pitching didhot .1 fleet a considerable
percentage of the slabmen. it, ap
parently cut into tht effectiveness of
a lot of tne steond raters, .there
is 110 oth'T expl.ina,;cn for the great
increase in the t, 1:111. 'ly of games in
which high lotals u ie registered in
both the run and hit columns.
In .proof thereof, ''here were 123
'names this year in the American
league and 91 in .he National in
which a team rolled up a total of
IS or more hits in one game. In 1919
there were only 68 such games ii
the American and 49 in the National
This is an increase of nearly 100
per cent in slugging.
In previous seasons the post-season
dope has been made up to in
clude all games in which a team
registered IS or more swats, but 15
became tio common to be notabl"
this year, consequently the append
ed record shows o:i!y games in
which one team rang up 18 or more
hits in nine innings durinft 1920.

Johnny Dennison Tells What
Amateur Base Ball Did for Him
Star of Local League Declares Experience on Sand
lots Made It Possible for Him-to Succeed
In Business.
Johnny Dennison, often called the
most successful manager of all Oma
ha's sandlot teams, has moie than
been repayed fpr the time he has
spent on the local diamonds, accord
ing to "Dynamo's" own statement.
Recently a fan asked the leader of
the city champion Bowens what
amateur base ball had done for him.
"Everything I am and everything I
have I owe to the Municipal Base
Ball association and its predecessor,
the Omaha Amateur Base Ball as
sociation," said Dennison.
"It is flirnncrh thp pxnerience I
hve gained in organized amateur base

problems of hotly contested ath

requires you to use your brain, and
if a miii line jnv intrlliffCQCe at all
it is bound to develop with the prac

of course, there is no. question as to
the benefitsof base ball. No other

Shelton. Neb.. Jan. 2. (Special.) In one
of the hardest-fought basket ball games
staged in this city for some time, the local
Billy McCabe, the coming demon
among , the back-stoppers in local
amateur base balr circles, will be
back in the game this season. Rumors
have it that he may be the boss of
the Bowen team.
"Click" Wagner is slated to be at
the head of the American league
again this season. "Click" had the
least trouble of any league president
last season. -
"Big Bill" Poesch, lanky first sacker
of the Paulson's Fords, will again
be heard from at the initial sack this
season.
City league magnates are thinking
of re-electing Frank Jacobs ,t? the
president's chair. Frank has been at
the head of the league for the past
six years.
Frank and Dode Hubatka, the
former right fielder and the later
manager of the Paulson's Fords, are
young business men in Onrha arc
graduated of the sandlots. and if you
ask any one of them, he will tell
you that he has used the experiences
and friendships of his base ball days
to help attain his present goal.
"One thing, I never have seen .-v
group of men so public-spirited and
so fair-minded as the board of di
rectors of the Muny Base Ball as
sociation. Most of them a.ie promi-
nent business men who should be
devoting their time to their own in
terests, and yet they are generous
enough to spend many day promot
ing the interests of the young ama
teurs. There is no gain for them,
only ihe satisfaction of good deeds
well done. ,
"In my mind there V nothing' so
contemptuous as the man who is not
interested in amateur base ball,
knows nothing of the manner in
which the association is conducted,
and does not know those on the
board, and yet he knocks the asso
ciation and advises the players to do
this and that and the other thing in
violation of the rules and principles
of the organization.
Booster for Fair Play.
"If ' the present day amateurs
would only stop to think, when one
of these knockers gets his hammer
out, of the many benefits that he is.
enjoying now that were unknown
before the association .was formed,
he would pay less attention to the:
knocker. My advice is to compare
what the knocker has done for base
ball against the work (hat the mem
bers of the association have done.
This comparison will end the argu
ment, as any fair-minded peison cart
readily see that the knocker ha
never lifted a finger for amateur
base ball, while the victims of his
attacks have given the players every
thing they now enjoy."
Dennison's years of experience in
professional and amateur Vase pall
have found him always in the leader
ship on the side of clean sport, ama
teur fans say. -
A few years ago, the board of the
Omaha Amateur Base Ball associa
tion prctically took away the city
championship from his Luxus team,
by making them play the Armoursjl
Saturday champions, after the Luxus
had already eliminated the packers
in the Greater Omaha league. Al
though Dennison's team lost the
title, he never squawked, quieting
his players with the statement that
"the directors are supreme; they may
make a mistake occasionally but
they are right nine-tenths of the
time. If they say play, we play."
