LEAGUE AVERAGES.
President Young's Official List for the
Season Just Ended.
HAMILTON is THE BIG BATTER
Our Sluggers Do Not Show Up Very Well in
Their Various Positions for the Year.
A VERY POOR BATTING RECORD MADE

The official averages of the National
League are always interesting to baseball
cranks because they are the only recognized
averages of the League. 1t is because they
are the only correct averages that The DIS
PATCH publishes no other.
Hamilton has the very high honor Of
heading the list not only in batting, but in
stolen bases, two very important essentials.
Beckley is furthest up among the Pitts
burgers, being tied with Caruthers for six
teenth place in batting. We have not a
leader in any position, though Beckley is
second among first basemen. Following are
the averages for the season as compiled by
President Young, of the National League:

GOOD THINGS AT BALTIMORE.
The Prominent Trotters and PAGERS show
Up at the Monumental City.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 9.-More than 5000 people
to-day saw the bay stallion, Egthorne, in the
third and final heat of a race brake the rec
ord of Pimlico track. He took it down from
2;l914, the Pavonia mark, to 2:1s. The bay
mare Instant was a close second, and
pressed Egthorne so hard that the whip was
used freely upon the stallion. He took it
without a waver.
The big field in the 2:2S class and very
likely justifiable desire on the part Of the
management that the autumn meeting of
the Pimlico Club should be ended on Satur-
day may be acceptable excuses for miser-
able starts. But Hazel and Tom Farrell
were distanced as a consequence. Mr..
Carlos NJ. De Garmendia, of Doubs. Nd, won
handily with his brown stallion Kioto.
The fourth and deciding heat in the un-
finished 2:27 class race of yesterday was won
and a rousing cheer wilS given the victor.
His time was 2:26lI There seemed to be
much pleasure over the defeat Of the pro-
fessionaI drivers by Mr.. Garmendia- Two
heats were necessary to end the unfinished
ZIG class (pacing) of Thursday. Nitello won
the race. Three heats were paced in the 2:2O
class race on the card to-day and each was
well worth long journey to see.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-It is reported on good
authority that the American Association
will locate a club in this city next season.
1t is also said that the Association intends
to attack the League in most of the cities
where heretofore the League has had full
sway. New York and Brooklyn are to be
included in the new circuit. 1t is said many
prominent baseball magnates who have
been until now identified with the League.
and who have grown dissatisfied with the
new regime prevailing with the League,
will next year cast their fortunes with the

q. Reed Of Salem, N. H., gray-haired
man of nearly 10 years, was murdered
by an unknown assassin in his barn
early this morning. Reed was farmer
who ram a small milk route in this
city. The murder must have been
committed at some time between IL
O'Clock last night and 5 O'Clock this
morning.
Mrs. Reed, wife of the murdered
man, had charge of the cans, doing the
milking in the evening and rising early
in the morning TO get the milk ready
for delivery. Last night when she
started to go to the stable hlr. Reed
complained of being ill, and said he
would be down an hour later. Her
WORK ended, she returned, supposing
her husband to be in his room. Rising
this morning ats O'Clock, she stumbled
over the body of man, and ran to the
house TO call her husband. He did not
respond, and going To his room she
found the bed unoccupied.
Everything indicated that death had
come only after struggle, Reed was
known to have money in his possess
sion and was also supposed to have
that day collected money from his Gus
toners. Reed was of an irritable dis
position and is said to have had trou-
BILE with his wife. with whom he lived
alone. The Selectmen are reticent,
but intimate they are in possession of
facts which may give some clue to
clearing up the mystery.
