HOSE who held the

can find substantial
evidence in the way
Western league bat
ters rapped out extra
base hits during' thr
clianiionliip race of 1921.
Until last year no Western
league player ever had been able to
cross the 400 mark for total bases.
As a matter of fact those, who went
above JOU were few and far between
while it looked as if the maximum
limit had been reached when Everett
Yaryan of Wichita established a
league record in IQJO by smashing
out 376 bases. But this year 300 base
hitters have become as common as
.300 percentage hitters used to be,
while Carl East of Wichita rammed
the league record up to the towering
total of 418. Jack I.elivelt of Oma
ha a1o crossed the 400 goal by four,
and Washburn of Wichita was the
tl'ird to break the former record with
377.
Whanged 152 Singles.
To establish his league record.
East hammered out 152 singles, 69
doubles, eight triples and 26 home
runs. .
In the early days, minor league
records were not kept as fully as they
are now. Consequently extra base
hitting records for five of the first
nine years never were compiled. But
here are the leaders for each year in
which these figures were kept:

The greatest gain during; the year
was that in two-baggers. Frank
Metx of Sioux City had established a
league record in 1920 with 53 doub
les, two more than Dan Moeller's
record set the year before.
Metz Broke Own Record.
During 1921 no less than seven of
Al Tierney's athletes shattered
Metz's mark. Metz, himself, was one
of them, delivering 62 of the two-ply
swats; but the real race was between
Jack Lelivclt of Omaha and Carl
East of Wichita, the Buffalo chief
tain finally winning, 70 to 69. Next
came Metz with 62, Joe Berger of
Wichita with 61. Griffith of Omaha
with 60 and Joe Robinson and. Ed
die Marr of Sioux City with 59.
Sioux City batters have a decided
advantage over all others because
of a short rightfield and a ground
rule that any hit over this wall is a
two-baser. , '

THE raoney-mad ball players are on the rampage for true

demanded $25,000 a year from the St. Louis Cardinals for
the next three years, but he is still unsigned and the rumor i

Lincoln, Neb., Jan.lS. (Special.)
The Cornhusker basketeers won
from the Grinnell quintet at the
state fair grounds coliseum Saturday
by a 27 to 17 score. The Nebras
kans, in spite of having : gone
through a hard game Friday night
against ' the speedy Missouri five,
were going fairly well against the
Grinnell team. Nebraska showed
considerable more aggressiveness
than did the visitors, and pushed
through the feeble defense which
Grinnell placed before the goal with
out any great amount of difficulty.
As usual, Captain Smith was the
highest point getter for ths Scarlet
and Cream, the flusker leader run
ning up 7 points for Nebraska.
Russell and Warren were close
behind with 6 points . each, while
Hunger and Kohl at guard counted
with 4 and 2 points, respectively.
Carman, substitute center rolled in
one field goal while he was on the
floor.
Benze, center on the Grinnell
quintet, spotted 13 points for the
visitors. Nine of these were from
free throws. -The game was marked
with personal fouls, Nebraska mak
ing 10 and Grinnell 7.
Russell, Warren and Munger
were star players for the Huskers,
Captain Smith doing his usual high
class work. The Husker captain is
regarded as a large portion of the
machine which Coach Frank is
building this winter, and as a main
cog is doing excellent work at for

Bush won 16 games and lost nine

and he declares that he wilt win be

Has Kick Coming.
There is one player transferred to
Boston, a tail-ender, from Cleveland,
a prospective pennant winner, who,
perhaps, has a kick coming, and that
is Elmer Smith.
Elmer, once upon a time, won a
world's championship, for Cleveland,
and the loyal fans of that city have
not forgotten him for it.
It was on a Sundav, October 19,
1920, that Elmer Smith, the famous
outfielder and left-harided batsman
of the Cleveland 'team,, was called on
at a vital moment, called in at a time
when Cleveland was to settle Brook
lyn's fate for all time or to fall down
and perhaps be trampled on before
the day's proceedings were at an
end. .....
It was the first inning of the fifth
game of the world series of that year.
The series up to that moment was a
tie and the crest of the struggle for ! ,
leaning Honors appeared to have been
reached. .. ' .
The Cleveland crowd was on fire
with excitement and enthusiasm at
the time, and three pairs of Cleveland
blue stockings occupied the bases.
A hit of any sort would put the
Cleveland team in the lead and that
meant the nest thing to victory, for
the pitching up to this period had
been wonderfully effective, and the
hits and runs scarce.
Smith Wins Game.
There w-erc tremendous cheers as
Elmer Smith came forward to face
the pitching of Grimes, the Brook
fyn ace. i ,
But they were like the sound of a
penny whistle in a great gale com
pared to the tremendous sound that
came from the multitude when
Smith landed on the ball with all his
might and sent it high and clear
away over the right-field fence.
It was a home-run hit that brought
in four runs and clinchedthat game
for Cleveland.
But more than that, it took all the
heart out of the Brooklyn players,
and they never rallied afterward.
The wonderful pitching of Stanley
Coveleskie and Walter Mails in that
series did much for Cleveland, but
the hit of Smith at that one crucial
time was the best thing of all on their
side, and for that reason I put him
down, at the time, as the real hero
of the 1920 world series.
- It is too bad, therefore, that that
hero should be transferred from a
great team like Cleveland to an al
most certain tailender. f
