Great is Jack Dunn, and the oificia) batting Average* of the Inter
national League for 1919, released today, prove it.
As a ball clutf the Baltimore Orioles, owned and managed by J?ck
Dunn amassed an average of 299 with the flail. In 149 ball games they
?lMnmed out 1,524 hits, or more than 10 liita per conteat. They got 231,
doubles, 83 triples and 87 home runs. The second team, Reading, had
an average of .276, wh c'i indicates just how far ahead of the league
were the Orio'es with the bat last season.
The real leader of the Intemat onal League at bat was Otis La wry
of Baltimore, with a mark of .364 in 133 games. ?Merwin Jacobson, of
Baltimore, ranked fourth, Vrith an average of .351. Ben Egan, the
Orioles' veteran catcher, hit for .341 in 71 games. Frits'Maiael, the
Baltimore third baseman, hit for .336 in 145 games. Jack Bentley the
Baltimore first baseman, crocked out hits averaging .324 in 92 games.
Jo' n Honig of Ba'timore, h!t for .320 in 133 games. Jdhn Boley, of
B?lt'more, hit for .301 in 137 games. In other words, six of Jaek
Dunn's regulars were in the .300 class, which is going some for any
lea rue.

Babe Adams was the on'y pitcher
who warmed up for I' ttsburgh And
oddly enough. the Tiger players wel

who already had besten them twice.
They knew th y-d got him this time;
they'd knock him right . ff the mound.

Outside of the It. si game Detroit
was scoring big, getting seven runa In
the i coid game, six In the third five
In the fourth, four In the fifth and
five In the s'xth. Jennings frequently
haa been severely criticized for start
Ing Donovan In tbla game, yet under
the conditions hs reasoning was not
bad. Detroit had been scoring ao
heavily that he figured that even on
he pitched by far the heat game of
hta nerve, experience and hitting
strategy.
Failed ?o Dope Oat ItnHe.
However, where Hughle figured
wrong was In thf pitching to be ex
pected from Adams. Instead of th<
"'?Igera "getting him" on this last da*
a cold day Donovan could get by on
h' aeries, holding the slugging l><*
trolters to aix scattered hits, and add
ed a fltt'ng climax to his wonderfu'
pitching throughout the series with n
shut out. It put Babe in the same
class as Mathewson In 100.1. who won
three gam< s of a world's series with
out suffering defeat.
Donovan understood his condition
better than Jennings. Me absolutely

Sad Day far Dftrvlt
It was a sad day for Detroit and
the Tiger fans. While the sensa
tlonal recruit Adams was making
monkeys out of the Tiger sluggers
Donovan and Mullln, the crack Tiger
boxmen were as Ineffective as a pa r
of back-lotters. Between them they
'valked ten men and hit another In
the matter of hits Pittsburgh only
mude one more than Detroit The

hits.
It also Is sad to relate that on the

Once Wai Enough For

Jess Willard, who cm<e saved
the pu|ilistic reputation of the
whita race by defeating Jack
Johnson, is ready to appear In
the role of hero once more Wil

America if Demp?ev allows ("?r

says he will return to the rinfc if
Carpentier wins, but will con
tinue to devote all h:? Pttent'on
to farming if Dempsey proves to
be the victor. Aft' r that experi

NEW YORK. Jan if.?Judge Kene
?aw M l.andln. of Chicago, will be of
fered the chairmanship of the na
tlonal baseball commission prior to
the Joint meeting of the majo
leagues February 11.
This was the belief expressed In
local bas' hall clrc'es today followlnr
the announcement of Col T. L? Hub
ton, of the Tankees. that the Nev
Tork club will back Judge l-ancltn un
less some big New York man la fav
ored by the Joint committee appoint
ed to select a candidate.
Judge l^ndls Is the crnly man whos.
candidacy has befcn espoused by any
member of the lnter-'eague commit
tee. William Veeck. of the Chicago
Cubs, having come out strongly In hln
favor.
Moreover, the Chicago Jurist has re -
ceived consistent boosting from many
directions and his attitude in the
famous Federal I>ague suit In Chi
cago when he declined to render t
decision, won him many Arm friends
In organised haseba'l.
"Baseball has come to be a pretty
big business." said Colonel Huston
today, "and we need a big man as
chairman of the commission In my
opinion Judge T^indls nils all quallfi
cations. Should the Joint commlttec
name a big New York man we might
feel Inclined to back him for the civic
pride If for nothing else, but oth"r
wlse we are In favor of Judge Landls
If he la nominated."
Whether the Chicago Jurist would
consider the chairmanship of the com
mission Is still a question, but he is
known to be an ardent fol'ower of
baaebaJl. and if assured the united
?upport of the two big leagu- s It Is
believed he would acceptxthe nom
ination.
