NEW ENGLAND AVERAGES.
How the Players Of Fastest Minor League II
Country arc Sized Up.
(Boston Globe.)

The close of the season of 1896 in the
New England league brings to the
front new list of readers in batting
and fielding. The interest shown in the
players and records of the league i:
manifest the country over, and a cor
rect statement of the batters and field.
ers for the season is of value. The
Globe herewith presentsa table of those
figures of most interest. They can be
depended on for accuracy.
This league being essentially one of
young men, it is natural that the new
leaders should be of not many wears
experience in leagues. New England
has the honor of producing the leading
batsman in the league this season. 10
of the first 20 batsmen being New Eng
land boys.
Napoleon Lajoie of Woonsocket. r..
L., leads with the grand average of .429
in batting something remarkable, aside
from the fact that the average itself is
tremendous one for any league. as it
is what is termed Lajoie's first sea-
son out" 1t only goes to prove that
the game today is not too fast in the
New England league for any youngstel
WITH SoOu eye, anu Drains TO use ms
ability. Lajoie is considered a wonder
at the bat. and certainly his work in
the big league is not far behind that in
this league.
Perhaps the cleanest hitting was done
by John Smith of the Pawtucket team.
His work is noted for hard, safe line
batting
breckenridge of Brockton. is third.
He went above the heavy batting limit.

Jimmy Hannvan, whom Boston is
after. ranks fifth with $50 Yeager of
Pawtucket, now with Boston, is 18th
with .351. Waldron. a Southbridge.
Mass. boy wanted by several league
clubs, is seventh with .373 Waldron
leads in run getting. with 1876 in 101
games. KlobedanZ of Boston, is tied
for ninth place. with Weddige. the
clever New Bedford third baseman, the
average being .357. Walters. the fleet
New Bedford fielder. loses four points
from last years record but this is off
set by his playing in several more
games this season.
Twelve of the Il batters at the end
of the list are pitchers and good ones
al that, so too much is not expected OF
them.
The averages in batting and fielding
are given only of those who played in
at least 20 games.
