They have no wav of follow- ing it while Manager Tinker has the team on the road, and therefore the struggle is unknown to them. It is a battle between certain members for | the distinction of having driven in the | largest number of runs. This contest, takes place each year on the team, but ! it is keener this season than ever be-t fore, although there are not so many struggling for the honors as in the | preceding race. The players are engaged in this contest unconscious of the fact that: they are striving for glory in a cerrain | department. Yet they are on the field . daily with the thought in mind of driving home runs whenever the op- portunity presents itself There are times when a player is not allowed to hit, but must sacrifice, but, just the same. that plaver. when the chance comés. never overlooks an opportun- Ity to send a man to the plate Last season four players were in a close race for this glory. This season two of the men have dropped be- hind and only Heimie Zimmerman and Cy Williams are close in the race for the homor of driving home the most runs. Cy Wilhams, Heime Zimmerman. Vie Saier and Frank Schulte were the players on the club last summer who struggled for the distinction of driv- ing in the most runs. They never dis- cussed ths question among them- selves and most of the time never knew how manv runs they had sent to the plate. but in their minds they realized thev were about on a par in this respect and that there was little j difference in their totals. Thev re-! membered vaguely after each game | about how many men they had scored | with hits and the next day endeavor-f ed to add a few more. i When the season of 1915 finished there were three men tied in the aum ber of runs they had scored. They were Zimmerman, Sailer and Schulte Eack bad driven home 49. but this was not the high mark. The piarer- Williams - who is the sensavon of the National league this season led the Cub team with a total of 5°. and he is the one who is making a deter mined fight +n lead the team again. He is doing much better than at any time sigce Jowing the Cubs and will far exceed the total he acquired in last years campaign. But he bas a keen rival now in Zimmerman. who leads at present by three points. Last year Zimmerman did not bat as well as he is dning now and that is making a difference in his work. Williams will have to set a mighty fast pace if he desires to top Heinie again. To date Zimmerman has driven home 40 minners, which is only mine less than his reocrd all of last seasom. and as this vear's sched. mlie is only half over he is certain +s reach the TS mark. Last year up to July 5 he had sent only 23 men to the terminal. © (Yankee in action. NEW YORK, Aug. 11-The two base- ball finds uncovered this season are Roger Hornsby. the Cardinal infielder, and Al Walters. the Yankee catcher. Oddly enough, both are graduates from small Texas town clubs, and, at the outset of the season, neither was giv- en much consideration. \Walters is the best all-around catcher that has come up to the ma}- ors since Rav Schalk's time,\ is the concensus of opinion among baseball men who have been the peppery young And about the young Cardinal, it is said 'He is the most brilliant infielder. the best hitter and brainiest youth that has flashed into view since Eddie Collins cast anchor in the big leagues.\ Walters came from Waco, Texas, while Hornsby was secured from Deni- son,. Texas, a class D town. A Bit About Waiters. Walters, first of all, is a wonderful backstop. He pulls heaves out of the air or extracts them from the land- scape with as much ease as he snares the straight-overs. Secondly, he has a whip equalled by few men in the game. He is a snap thrower and pegs with a deadlv accuracy. He gets away with almo=t the same motion that he grabs it the trick that marks the dif- ference between ordinary catchers and wonderful catchers. Tv Cobb had heard much of Wal- tes's pegging power. He decided to test out the wing during the recent Yankee Tiger series. Ty took unto himself a twelve foot lead and then shot for second with the swing of the pitcher's arm. The whirlwind Georg- ian was touched out standing up- tagged even before he had a chance to slide. The next time Ty essayed a steal he didn't have such a long lead. And then the cocky young Walters showed in what conterpt he held Cobb by plaving a bit with the ball before he made the throw to second. And once again the play read> \Cobb out steal- ing, Walters to Gedeon.\ Waiters Can Hit, Too. What has happened to Cobb has be- fallen the majority of other baserun- ners who have tried to pilfer at Wal- ters' expense. Few catchers in the league are in Walters' class as batters. During the first three months of the campaign be whanged the horsehide for an average above .300. Since then he has sluffed out somewhat, yot he ranks today as one of the most timadly hitters in the game. \Walters as a hatter, is never so go0G as in a pinch. But what his made Valters a reign- ing favorite in New York is his spirit, his \pep\ and his enthusiasm. He is chattering all the time, steadies his pitcher. and puts new life into the whole team. No games lost, in Wal- ters' opinion, until the last man is out He's a cheerful, optimistic youngster --the kind that never admitis defeat until the final count has been made. Hornsby's Playing Electrifies, Hornsby has electrified the National league speétators by his brilliant work, Only three months a big league performer, yet he has executed some plays afield. at the bat and on the bases that have left an indelible mark on the memories of fandom-and up- on the basetall records. Hormsby his a marvelous wing and he makes stops and throws that are seemingly impossible The kid goes after everything that comes his way. He isn't afraid to risk making errors --but me doesn't make many, Afield he is as fast as forked lightning and he has killed so many \sure\ hits by the opposition batters that they have call- éd him. \Crook\ Hornsby. Horusby is a natural hitter. All sea- son long this youth, facing pitching four grades higher than ever was heavy- ed at him before, has belted the pellet for an average well beyond .800. Ear- lier in the vear when he took unto himself a mark around .320 and .32%5, it was regarded as \Flash-in-the-pan'\ stuf, But Homsby is using the mace with Just as deadly effect right now and it begins to look as if he will re- main in the battle for the champion- ship. The regrettable feature concegning Homsby's work is that he is doing it with the lowly Cards-with a club that gets little or no attention outside its own home town. But Hornsby's deeds bave been so remarkable that even though clouded by being performed on a trl-end clib he has taken rank as the greatest Infielder that has come into the majors in many, mam: years.

NORTHERN NEW | YORK FISH COVERED WITH WEEDS. OGDENSBURG.-Charles - McElien, a resident of Eagle, Col, who is spending the summer here at his for- mer home, came near achieving his heart's desire while on a fishing trip down the river this week. Mr. Mo- Elln's friends in the west have often told him they were \from Missouri\ when he described the big fish that abound in the St. Lawrence, and he made up his mind this time to show the \doubing Thomases\ the error of their ways. With an carsman, he started for the stamiping ground of the \muskies.\ He didn't hook any big fellows, but did land about ten pickerel. On the way back to Ogdensburg, Mr. McElien's troller caught into something in Red Fin Bay that pulled like a big fish. Mr. McEllen's heart jumped for he thought the time had come for him to baul in that long sought muscallonge. The oarsman, nearly as excited as himgelf, said he would go ashore in order to make the capture more certain. When the prize was hauled in at Sandy Beach, it proved to be a pickerel of quite modest proportions, but it was thick- ly matted with seaweed, giving It the appearance of a strange denizen of the deep. After being hooked, the fish tried to escape by darting into the reed beds that covered the bottom of the bay. and it was this that caus- ed the \bite\ to pull so hard. DRILLING FOR WELL, WATERTOWN.-Under the super vision of City Engineer E. W Sayles, wok will be started soon at drilling a well near Knapp's spring on Pine Plains. to determine whether or not there is a sufficient supply of suitable drinking water to furnish the people of Watertown.
