THE CHAMPION BATTER
It Will Be Delahanty of Phila-

O. P. CAYLOR'S BASEBALL CHAT.

Some Comment rs to the Unre1iability OF
Midseason Individual Averages-"King"
Kelly's Sensational Allentown NIaneuver.
A Close Race.
Jacob Stencil of the Pittsburg team
jumped into prominence at the end OF
last season by earning the honor of lead
ing batsman Of the National league for
1893. The distinction was the more nota-
BILE from the fact that he was young
blood who came among the veteran bats
men in the midst of the season from a
minor organization and was comparative
ly new to notable pitchers of the various
League teams. l believe it is the first
instance in the 10 years of the National
leagues record where a newly imported
star carried off the batting honors from
the older players.
But Stencil was not a slayer. He has
shown no ability this year to maintain his
position at the head of the batting list.
While no official data is obtainable to DEM
onstrate exactly where he does stand in
the list at this late day in the season,
enough unofficial information can be had
to make it certain that he will not be
among the first 10 this year. He will prob

batsmen for single season and not aspire
to go down in baseball history beside An

Who will win first place in batting this
year? 1t is a question impossible to an
swer, though the unofficial figures indicate
that the contest is narrowing down be-
tween Duffy of Boston and Delahanty of
Philadelphia The tables of averages
which are occasionally published during
the playing season are always unreliable
and mostly misleading from the fact that
there is absolutely no opportunity afforded
any ono to get at the official figures cx-

Terrible Accident to Rock Island Pas
senger-Eisht Persons Killed Outright
and Many Injured-Five of the Victims
Burned to Death. WOuld-Be Rescuers
Driven Back by the Flames.
LINCOLN. Neb.. Aug. 1O.-The north
bound Rock Island passenger train was
wrecked on high bridge between four
and five miles south of here shortly
after 10 o'clock last night.
Eight persons are known to have
been killed. five of of them being
burned to death. Particulars, ow-
ing to the distance of the scene of the
wreck are hard to obtain. 1t is feared
that the death list may be largely
increased. The train, which is local.
comprised the engine and tender, COM
bination baggage and smoking car and
coach. The engine and the combination
car went over the bridge, the coach be-
ing suspended on the trestle.
Only two passengers and the brake
man, who were in the end coach, were
uninjured. and they set about to res
cue the luckless trainmen and passen-
gers imprisoned in the wreck below.
They managed to release two who were
injured. but, as if to balk their efforts,
the wreck took fire and the woa1ld-be
rescuers were driven back by the in
tense heat. 1t is known that five who
were in the wreck were burned to
death.
A relief train started from the city
shortly before midnight and until its
return full particulars will be lacking.
The list of killed is as follows:
Conductor c. d. Stannard, burned to
death.
Engineer Depew, buried under en-
gine.
Fireman. name unknown, buried un-
der engine.
Three travelling men, names un-
known. burned to death in the wreck.
Two farmers, names unknown,
