OHeiai Averages Of The Players or The De
fanet wnniaAslon.

The of1cial averages Of the players who took
part in the last season's work OF the American
Association have been Issued and some refer
ence to them will prove interesting because OF
tho fact that large proportion OF the players
in the defunct organization will next spring
be found In the ranks Of tho League clubs.
At the top OF the list stands the
name OF Dan Brouthers. and. as he will
play in Brooklyn next summer and be seen
quite frequently at the Polo grounds. his
achievements become OF general interest to
enthusiasts in this vicinity. Big Dan played
in 1923 games. was 458 times at bat, made III
runs. 100 bnse hits. 80 sacrifice hits. stole SO
bases, batted in 80 runs. and has batting
average OF $40.
Among first basemen Brouthers was tied
for first place with Comiskey. with 1899 put
outs, SO assists, "a errors. and a fielding aver
age OF 1881.
Hamilton. who led the League hitters last
season. was 500 times at bat. made ITO hits.
and had batting average OF 1888 The Asso-
citation champion leads the League hitter by
but IL points. and the League batters had
much more difficult pitching to face than did
their Association brethren. Brouthers. how
ever. has led the League In hitting as well as
tho Association. and 1t is fair to presume he
will not be found wanting next spring. SUIT
clifre OF Washington Is second IN batting with
.346. but he played In only 40 games. Third
on the list stands Hugh Duffy. captain Of
the Boston Reds and who will next
season be with the League team in tho
