The publication Of the New York teams hat
| ting averages In The Sun yesterday created
an unusual amount Of comment among the
cranks Very few Of the enthusiasts had any
idea that Wards men were such heavy hitters.
and the general Impression seemed to be that
pitching phenomenons would be pretty thor
ouRhly exploded when pittsd against the local
team. When Manager Barnis OF the Louis
villes visited headquarters he said
Il can Scarcely believe the figures are corr
rect. They must have been doctorei a bit Just
to jolly the game along But when blond
William looked over q cory of Nick Ioung's

to saY. and some pitchers will look sick. But.
nevertheless. New York will tumble down
somewhere else. either in fielding or base rum

gang will be in IL. Why. for that matter, Louis
vile may take one or two falls out Of his team.
and know OF several other clubs that will do

and you should do even better than this, But
to play ball, or even allow any Of your players
to get drunk, you break your contract, and |
to stand by you as long as you do right. but I |
will insist that there shall be no monkey bus |

II Kelly heeds Johnson's advice. It is evident |
that he has a chance to make more money |
than the average League player. Baseball |
m len say he has good thing in the Allentown |
deal and will be foolish not to appreciate It. |
Nike will try to secure several prominent |
players. notably Mark Baldwin. Cliff Carroll. |
