Ahead at Short.

New York. June 6.-Records Of the
National League players, compiled up
to last Thursday, show that Hans
Wagner the mighty Pittsburg slugger
stiil heads the batsmen. Hans has
raped out 81 hits in IS games, and has
a percentage Of .469. Muggsy MeGraw,
who is going warm clip for St. Louis
comes second, with .444 and three Phil
adelphia sluggers of renown-Lajoie,
Flick and Delehanty, follow in success
sion. Jake Beckley stands sixth in
the list, with g percentage Of .416. Seven
men are batting over 400 and Al
over the 300 mark of good society. OF
this number Cincinnati furnishes seven
the individual and team work Of the
Reds with the stick being far superior
to the usual gait of the team and in
fact, being sufficiently noticeable to
make the cranks wall as they glance at
the percentage table.
Slagle, the diminutive Philadelphia,
has made. more runs than any other
player, while Demont and Doyle have
each stolen IA bases.
The fielding records-restricted to
players who have taken part in 10
games or more-shOW- Bill Kennedy as
the leader of the pitchers. Lou Criger
heads the catchers, Woods and Peitz
holding modest places near the rear.
Dick Cooley tops the first basemen,
Beclxley ranking sixth. DemOnt out
ranks the other second basemen.
Charlie Irwin heads the third base
men, and deserves to on the game he
has played Dahlen leads the short
stops, COrcOran figuring ninth. Dono-
van and Kelley have yet to make any
Outfield errors.
Philadelphia leads in club batting,
with .344 The Reds are fourth with
.304. Brooklyn leads in club fielding,
with 944, while Cincinnati, usually
weak at the bat and great in the field
continues its reversal form by coming
in seventh with only .917. Cincin-
natl and Philadelphia have each made
30 double plays, leading the league in
this particular, while Philadelphia cas-
lily outclasses all the clubs in long-dis-
lance extra base batting.
Hans Wagner is not only champion
percentage batsman Of the league, but
champion long-range slugger, with a
total of 81 extra bases. IA more than
even the terrible Lajoie can show.
Jack Doyle has stolen the largest per-
centage Of bases to the game.
Bernhard and McGinnity appear to
be the seasons most effective pitchers,
each having won eight games out of
nine pitched. None of the Cincinnati
pitchers stand high on the roll of fame.
1t is still bad going for the eft-handers,
and this years crop of young pitchers
have not prospered

JEAN BERAUD AHEAD.
Whitney's Colt Defeats Imp in an Elk
citing Race.

New York, June 6.-Jean Beraud and
Imp measured strides in the Brookdale
handicap at Gravesend and Jean Ber-
aud won after a stirring struggle from
flag fall to finish. The race was at one
mile and a furlong and only four horses
paraded, Chadentus and Prince McClurg
with the others making up the field.
They were sent off on the first break to
a good start Jean Beraud was on
the rail with Imp next, and they came
down past the stand like a team run
ming head and head. Going up the
back stretch Jean Beraud showed in
front by half a length. Rounding the
FAR turn Imp moved up on even terms
and they came into the stretch head
and head. Then for a few strides the
black mares head showed in front At
the sixteenth pole Beraud got his head
In front, and OConnOr drew his whip
on the black mare. She responded game
~, but at the weights Jean Beraud
proved the better and he rushed across
the line neck in front while the crowd
cheered them both to the echo. At no
time during the entire journey were
they more than a half length apart.

Determined to Show the Public He is
a Much Better Man Than Rubin.

New York, June 6.-Fitzsimmons de-
elares he is going to do a nice job with
Rubin, take all the time necessary and
show the public just HON much better he
is than the man who fought Jeffries
tWenty-round draw, and to whom the de-
cision of a draw gave none the best of
it Fitzsimmons IS not running away with
the idea that Rubin is "a mark" He
states no number of rounds, but just de-
ciares he viii win and show Corbett and
the rest of the people who think Rubin
will put him out of the business that he is
still in line for the championship.
Rubin has had little to say beyond the
fact that when he gets through with Fitz
the public will begin to wonder how that
Sharkey thing happened. Madden, how
ever, is betting some of Ruhlin's money.
His experience with Corbett, man who
has fought Fitz when the kangaroo was
at his best, has given Gus a lot of ideas
which he is working ont steadily.
