FIELDING FIGURES
FALLACIOUS IN
THE EXTREME
American Pennant Winners Could
Not Boast a Single Leader in
Any One of the Game’s
Positions.
Deep Delve Into Statistics Discloses
Some Interesting Facts in Inside
Ball, Nevertheless.
BY PAUL H. BRUSKE.
Pul not your trust In fielding aver
ages. Os all tbe deceitful Hiu s
baseball dope, they are the mo«t mis
lending Aside froiu the index whi< .»
the number of put-outs and a>s!M*
ut times give on the activity of a
player they are practically valueless.
Such must be the conclusion to be
derived from the statistics as g'\ei:
out by the ottielal custodian of tin*
records. Robert C. .Mcßoy, who is B.ui
Johnson's hired man and draws salurj
for the pleasure of figurine up the
dope each vear and of playing the
part of a ncar-czat at world s serif
while his Ikism is attending to J h*
duties of conviviality, attendant on
hci h occasions.
K very body knows that the Detnii
hi .-eball club won tin* Ameth an league
jfc nnaut last year People ar»*nei
jrlly recognized the Ttjrers as a bun*-'!
ol good hatters, superb base-run t*« t>
and fairly accurate fielders. Barring
n little sear* toward Ul® end of th*
Mason, Jennings’ tueu won their pen
iiutii without extending themselves to
tin* limit. They were obviously tie
cijiss of th<* league.
\nd yti
There wasn’t a single Tiger who led
the league in his department in the
l*i Id.
Not Even Near the Top.
Furthermore, there wasn’t one wh .
dlt the ham? of percentages canu- any
where near it
All tin world knows that “LVu.ie
Bi sh hud the greatest year of short
Mopping that ever fell to the lot -d
mortal man. The fielding averages ad
mit that h** nut out a total of 3bß men
and thro* out no less than ’>*s7—a ,
n* rfonnance never before attained in
the annuls of league ball. 3e' the
M lappy D**troit midget stood tenth in
the averages Turner of Cleveland

Washington tnust be considered t\«

Leave out. i f you pleas**, the batting
kiul base-running in xvhcih ibis marvel
has seepred his greatest prominence.
Where Is the man who turns off such
sensational catches and marvelous
throws? Where is there an out
felder thai save more games for hi
term, by virtue of Ids defensive play'*
And echo answers “nowhere.”
If Ty Cobh doesn’t lead the out
fielders. where is he? Laborious
counting brings our the interesting
faei that, puding on the basis of
fielding averages, there were no less
than 23 outfielders in Ban’s neat lit
tle organization, who were superior |
to Tyrus.
Schaefer Beat Delehanty.
And it’s ihe same w ay right down the >
line. Toni Jones is sixth and Claud
Rossmali twelfth among the first )
seekers. Schaefer in practically third
and Delehanty seventh among the
second-basemen, yet the latt«*r was
secured in place of the former in a
trade and some boot went with th*
deal, too Moriarty was fiftii among
the third-sacker*. and O’ioeary.
tweftb. Stunag** stood fourteentn.
Beckeudui f seventeenth and Schmidt!
eighteenth, among the catchers Kil
lian was eighth, Donovan thirt *fnt'h
Mullln fifteenth. Summers seven]
I tenth and Willett fortieth among the
pitchers. Help’ Poll***?!
(If course, there ar«- several depart
in* nts in which the Tiger players r* il
ly show to advantage, when one dies
a bis below the surface Aside fp in !
th** flnnes showing the astounding {
agility of Bush, there is the far* that.,
while charged with plenty of errors
Hmnage and Schmidt allowed 1q entn-j
lunation only six passed balls, evenly
divided--a respect in w-lib h the. !►**! ,
rival stafTs by a mile. Coho's M
assists from iho outfield were r\
reeded only by lllnchmau of Clove
land, and Demmitt and Kngle of \r v
York. Stovall was the only throwing
first baseman whose assists totalled
anywhere near that of Tom Jones.
Considering the number of games h**
played. Morlarty's whip mowed down
more men than nny of hfs rivals at
third, thofieh Bak' r and Lord excelled
Mm on their season’s total. FUm
Crawford (aught more fiv hal's than)
