This Is the way the Jackson po'riot
sizes up the State League. "Thc sag
naws are the best felders. and arc strong
IN the box, but weak batteTs. Grand
Rapids has a fair hating team, some
good pitchers and only a far field.
Jaxon has, with the possible exception
of Greenvlle, the heaviest hfters. A
very good lot of fieldcrs. hut is, and
has been from the start, weak IN the
box. Kalamazoo las probably tao
strongest all around team in The leaEif.
They are good batters. good ficlder.,
and their pitchers viii compare favor
ably with any Of the teams Tho
Lansings are weak bstters. poor feldefs
and have weak hatteucs. and bold
their present position only through
luck Of the beginning OF the season.
Greenvlllc has a heavy batting team.
but weak field, and not a first elas.
pitcher m the lot They are away of,
unless II be in Their estimate of tho
KazO0s. There is u0 team IN the league
with better field ihan Grand Rapids.
Tho trouble has been principally
weakness behind the bat and general
lack of energy among the players.
