It will be found, on comparing the above
table with the one based on times at bat, u
that the order of merit is nearly the same in
both, Hall being about the only person who
drops very much, and hc only goes down from
second to fifth.
On comparing this table with one of the same
kind made at tue close OF last season, it appears
that Anson, Hines, and Peters have improved
their batting wonderfully, while many ulaycrs
then away up hare fallen down below the half.
Crarcr,' Tor instance, has gone from eighth
down to thirty-seyenth; Force, frum niuth to
twenty eighth; Sutton; from sixth to eight
ecnth; Leonard, from fifth to sixteenth; and
others In the same way.
MERITS OF PITCHERS.
The question as to who has been the best
pitcher for the past year depends, Of course.
upon the runs earned of the pitching, as well rs
upon the fielding and batting abilities Of the
men occupying the position. Primarily, the
best pitcher Is the man who allows the smallest
proportion OIL runs to be earned off his delivery
To ascertain this point in the record TEE
TRIBUNE has caused the scores of the year to
be gone over, anu the result to be tahuiatel
1t Is sorry to say that the result varies from ab-
soi1lte correctness in Al ininltesima2 degree as
to several Of the naen, Tor Ii: reason that tele-
