From the Angle of the Bug Bj REUBEN A. LEWIS MiailttftClB U1 LUC OUUVUOIU league are almost unanimous in favor of abolishing the donation of medals for the leader in respective departments. While the league moguls accepted the trophies In view of the fact that one was of fered for pitching, hitting and fielding. However, it is certain that no medals will be given next season. In an effort to gain one of the cherished medals, players have dis regarded team work, cast reflec tions upon fellow players and in sinuated that the scorers are play ing favorites. Such a distasteful display of bitterness should be eliminated. * * * Manager Molesworth is In favor of abolishing the trophies. "The offering of medals for sensational playing," said the Baron boss, "lias injured the team work of the clubs. In an effort to better his individual average, players have sacrificed the standing of the clubs. The medals cause bitterness among the players and do not tend to promote harmony. "I do not believe that the medals will be continued next season, and sincerely hope that the practice will be discontinued. If the Beason closes without a squabble It will be a wonder.” • • « Bill Schwartz is firm In his be lief that the medals Bhould be abol ished. "These medals are radically wrong," said the Nashville pilot. "These medals are all wrong any how. What good do they do? and I can show you a whole lot of harm they cause. They stir up bitter ness among ball players in general; they break up team work, for fel lows will get to working for a fielding or batting record and won’t risk chances on a tot of plays, for they will hurt their fielding or bat ting record. "Look at that Cobb-Lajoie scan utii over in me American league ail on account of the Chalmers trophy, and just as long as some fellow, who thinks he is causing a stimulus in hitting, running or pitching, keeps on offering prizes, just so long as you are going to see bad feeling cropping out; ugly charges like tills Covaleskl-Prough affair, and l had as soon expect to see a soda fountain in -- as team work under such conditions as these. But Birmingham is peculiarly fortu nate in possessing two of the three medals offered. Bill Prough han cinch ed the medal offered the leading twirl er while Bob Messenger lias copped the trophy for leading the base steal ers. Both have deserved to capture the trophies by their conscientious and consistent, playing. Dave Robertson will cop the third prize and is believed to be the best hitter in the Southern league. Official announcement of the winners will be made some time during the week when the official figures are received by Secretary Jacobson. * * * After a hard fight Ty Cobb has over taken Joe Jackson and Is leading by a scant margin. Jackson is undoubtedly the heavier hitter of the two as the records demonstrated, while Cobb is the more clever. Jackson scores few infield hits, while the Peach has regis tered a number. Should Jackson lead the American and Daubert the National, the South ern league will furnish the two first batters in -the circuits. Al Demaree. another Southern leaguer, is first pitcher in the National while Boehling is closely behind Johnson for tlie first rank in the American. • • • Johnny Dobbs resorted to every prac tice known to dispell the jinx yester day afternoon. After his Billikens had dropped the first, he switched the position of every batsman. Wares was dropped from second to last, while Manning was elevated to six place. Sloan was elevated from fourth to first piace. “I can’t understand why we are un able to score.’’ quoth the Montgomery pilot, “but it is one of the great mys teries. The slump struck the club at the wrong time and proved disastrous to our hopes. The Mobile club suffered a like setback, but had a great lead to p them. But we hope to fin'sh third this season."
