The Batting Averages.

The Indianapolis players suffered more
or less the past week in their batting, for
1t seemed while they were in Chicago and
Minneapolis that everything was against
the Hoosiers. Magoon still leads the club
in batting and Hartsel jumped from third
to second place, while Geier dropped be-
low to third place. The greatest drop was
taken by Hogriever. In the coming series
at home the players will have chance 10
get back their batting eyes. Following is
the statement for the past week: Magoon,
$685. Hartsel, .346; Geier, 1888; Seybold, .322;
Madison. .29l; Powers, 1853; Heydon, PAT;
Barnes, .243; Gardner, 40; Hogriever, .209;
