STATE LEAGUE.
SOME BASE BALL RECORDS.
Standing of Clubs and Individuals In
National League Race.

A study of base ball records accord
ing to percentages will reveal as many
surprises as a comparative review OF
statistics on the tariff, population,
commerce or any other matter OF busi-
ness. Here ara some figures and COM
parisons: Philadelphia leads the league
in batting as ub.percentage, .3l7.
Baltimore Is second with very close
mark of .3l6, then follows Cincinnati,
New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Pitts
burg, Boston, Brooklyn, st. Louis,
Washington and Louisville.
A glance at the fielding averages Of
teams shows considerable variation
from the order given In the above list
Of batting averages. Baltimore is first
in fielding. Brooklyn second, with Bos-
ton, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Cincinna-
IT, Pittsburg. St Louis. New York Chi
cago, Washington and Louisville fol-
lowing in the order given. Louisville
has the unenviable distinction Of being
last in batting. fielding and club stand
ing.
A combination Of batting and fielding
averages will probably indicate the po-
sitions of the clubs in the league race.

OF all players who have participated
In twenty games or more shows the
following individuals to be leaders in

END OF Fleetwood MEET
Captain White Won the Postponed
Race 10 the 2.27 Class.
TROrTERS GO WEST AND SOUTH
ArOtc Sent to Galesburs. fii.. Where This
Week he May Mako IN Effort to
Heat tho Worlds Record Meeting
Proved . Very Successful One.

Fleetwood Park, Sept LA handful
Of horsemen and members Of the Driv-
Ing club witnessed the wind-up of the
grand circuit trotting meeting at Fleet
wood park Saturday. The postponed
2.27 class, four heats Of which were
trotted on Friday, was the only contest
remaining unfinished. and most Of the
spectators who had seen Lake Erie out
act Captain White and outlast Belle
Truxton on the previous day believed
that the race was pretty sure thing
for the son Of Cadmus Hambletonian.
Captain White had shown more speed
than any other horse In the party, trot-
ting long mile around the entire field
In the second heat and finishing In 2.l5
Captain White won the race in 2.17h.
Most of the horses that took part In
the grand circuit meetings were shipped
yesterday to Galesburg and Philadel-
phia, where two notable trotting meet
ings are to be held this week. The
Salisbury stable with the peerless trot-
ter Azote returned to the west. 1t Is
not unlikely that the big horse will
start to beat the worlds record at
Galesburg this week. and everybody
who witnessed his two splendid per-
formances here IL Of the opinion that
Alix will no longer by the champion II
Azote starts under favorable conditions.
iiamlin Stable Goes TO Louisville.
The Hamlin stable will be shipped to
Louisville today. where Robert j.,
Nightingale and the others will enjoy
weeks letup, preparatory to starting
there next week. Robert J. il entered
In the 5000 free-for-all at the Ken
tucky town with his old rivals. John r.
Gentry and Joe Patchen, as the other
starters. After the Louisville meeting
the champion PAGER will be taken to
Fort Wayne. and then to Terre Haute
and Lexington. Geers says the little
fellow Is fast regaining his best form,
and the Village Farm trainer hopes
to drive him a mile In two minutes yet
this season.
Joe Patchen and John r. Gentry are
to pace a series of exhibition races. be-
ginning next Wednesday at Belmont
Park, Philadelphia, and continuing
after the Louisville meeting at Du-
buque and Sioux City. Iowa. Robert ].
will not start In these exhibition con-
tests, but the trio will probably come
together again at Lexington in OctO-
ber in the free-for-all class.
The Driving club. Of New York,
cleared something like $4,000 on the
best Grand Circuit trotting meeting
that has ever been held In New York,
showing pretty conclusfvely that har-
ness racing can be successfully carried
on under the new anti-gambllng laws
In this state. The sport was for the
most part clean and brilliant. and the
speed average was simply dazzling for
Fleetwood, far surprising all records
made in the past
All told, fifty-four heats were trotted
and paced In an average Of 2.31A, while
the track record was twice lowered,
and a new champion among trotters
was uncovered.

Getting tho Defenders Hull In shape for
the Contest.

New York, Sept 1.-The Defender at
tracted thousands Of people to Erie
basin, where she was dry-docked this
morning to have her bronze hull put
in shape for the coming contest with
Valkyrie III for the blue ribbon of the
sea. The Manganese bronze under her
body was In very good condition, but
men worked at 1t all day polishing the
metal with sand paper and filing down
bolt heads until 1t presented per-
fectly smooth surface and shone In the
sunlight like Furnished gold.
The boom does not look to be half
as heavy as the lighter one Of the two
which Dunraven's boat has used. As
hollow steel bOoms were first used in
England, and the fact that Valkyrie
was to have one. was kept secret until
almost the last moment, the Yankee
ingenuity which has taken up the Eng
lish idea and vastly improved upon 1t
in time to fit Defender with boom and
gan far superior to valkyrie's is to be
commended.
There were absolutely no signs Of In
jury to the hull from the various
grOundings the Defender had at Hog
Island and Newport. The Defender
will leave the dock early tomorrow
morning and go to Sandy Hook for a
SPIN.
