WAGNER PREMIER BArsMAN.

Freeman and McGann the Only Ex-
Senator'S to Gain a Place of Honor.
The batting averages of the league play
ers during the season just closed show that
the batting was comparatively light and
there was an absence of sensational hap
penings. The pitchers did better work than
during the previous year and the twrlers
managed to score shutouts on numerous oc-
cssions.
During the campaign seven men were so
powerful as to make five hits in single
game. These men were Lajoie, Donlin
Beckley, Slagle. Bill Clarke, Flick and
O'Brien. Four hits were made quite fire.
quently, but not one batsman achieved the
honor of six.
The betting honors of the league belong
to Hans Wagner of Pittsburg with we'll
earned record of .395. Willie Keller of
Brooklyn stands second with 377, while
Elmer Flick Is third. with :,61 Flick led
the league for the greater part of the sea-
son, and but for his unfortunate lay off
caused through his trouble with Lajoie, it
is very likely that he would have held the
lead to the end. Lajoe participated in only
100 games and has an average of $50. while
Deehanty stands eleventh with only .32S.
Flick leads the home run hitters
Brooklyn has eight men with averages
better than 300, while Philadelphia has six
st. Louis five. Pittsburg three, Boston
three Cincinnati three, New York three,
chicago one.
Patsy Donovan shows up as the leading
base runner with forty-fve steals
Jack Warner. New Yorks disabled catch
er, leads the backstops in the field. Orth
leads the pitchers, and Dan McGann pre-
dominates at first base. Lajoie leads the
second basemen. Lave Cross tops the third
basemen, and Dahlen leads the shortstops.
Joe Kelley leads the right fielders, Thomas
the center gardeners and Stahl the right
suburbanites. Warner is the only New
Yorker to gain a place of honor while three
men from Brooklyn gain shining laurels.
Jesse Tannehill has the best percentage
record of victories among the pitchers,

has had the best control over the players.
Absolutely fearless. personal assaults have
no terrors for him. In the short epigram-
matte arguments that take place on the
field Hurst seldom fails to get the better of
kickers in these wordy encounters His
quick retorts and quaint remarks generally
turn the laugh on his assailants.
Clark Griffith, the Chicago pitcher. one of
the brightest men In base ball, said recent
ly: There is a great deal of sympathy
wasted on the umpires. AS a rule they are
very well able to take care of themselves,
and seldom get the worst of an argument.

several of them perpetrated this season:

George Davis has decided to make fight

team to Cuba this fall. He will insist on

This Is sure to bring otk his standing with

whole crowd Of Eew York players signed
the petition to keep Davis out of the party.
Nap Lajoie beiieves-that fate has him
tabled for marks Of disfavor. He has suf-
fered three misif3s irpItwo seasons. His
collision with Hatt] StAhfeldt left him with
a bad knee. Last spring he broke his own
wrist trying to land a swing on Elmer
Fhck's frontispiece. and now he must wear
his broken arm ie splhts for six weeks.
He is convinced that the story that Win
Mercer has no speed is a roorback.

gave a practical demonstration of the
value or bunting by putting in a pair OF
recruits from minor leagues in the last
home games. Dolan. though not hard
hitter. earned a high, average by his abil-
ity to get away with a bunt. Green. the
second on the list is one of the speediest
men in the game, and his sprinting has
earned him many base hits and extra
bases. not to mention the bases on errors
he gains by compelling opposing fielders to
work fast.

INDIANS DEFEATED VIRGINIANs.


RedsLfns' Heavy Rush Line Too Much
for University Boys.
The Carlisle Indians defeated the Uni
versity of Virginia eleven at National Park
Saturday afternoon by score of 16 to z.
A fair crowd. made up largely of excur-
sionists from Virginia, was present. The
ground was too muddy for good play. and
the handling of punts was made difficult by
the wet ball. The Indians were slightly
heavier than the Eirginians. and carried
the game with a rush. Virgnia's defensive
tactics improved as the game progressed,
and Walker, the university right tackle,
was tower Of strength, at times throwing
the entire Indian line The Indians made
a touchdown soon after the game began,
but the Virginians steadied and it was only
by the strength of the Indian rush line
that the goal was won. In the second half
the Indians scored touchdown, but failed
to kick goal, but soon after kicked goal
from the field The game was extremely
clean throughout. with only one accident,
Harris of Virginia slightly injuring his
arm. He was replaced by Milford.
The Virginians gained their two points on
a foolish play by Palmer of the Indians.
Walker had made long punt which john
son muffed. the ball rolling over the line.
Palmer grabbed the ball and started back
up the fed, but was tackled so fiercely by
one of the Virginians that the pigskin was
knocked from his arms and sent flying be-
hind the goal posts. Quick as lightning
an Indian was on top of 1t, and as a result
a safety touchdown was scored. This IN
looked-for. but lucky scoring, set the
friends of the Virginia boys wild. and the
cheering was kept up for a long time.

the Indian Territory tedecide is the
fruit question. Horticulture has not
been very interesting subject to
many people, and now they are at d
loss to know how to buy, or what to
buy, or who to buy from. II is of
vital Importance to buy good trees,
stock that is propogated to bear
fruit, and not merely to sell. 1t is
not possible to detect all the defects
In worthless trees until they either
bear fruit, or refuse to bear at all,
then it is costly experiment If a
failure. and it takes so long to cor
rect it. You can be morally GER
tain Of the quality of your fruit if
you buy them from mem who have
established a reputation in the hor-
tlcultural world, io- he must suffer
only in greater degree if you suffer
if he sells you worthless trees.
The time is past when scientific
horticulturist remain in obscurity
Obscure nursery men and tree deal
ers have imposed upon the credulity
of the people, and sold them worth
less stuff at exorbitant prices, until
many think there are no honest nur-
serymen or salesmen. The we'll in
formed do not think so and are bet.
ter prepared 20 protect themselves.
IL is not the fact that you have
bought your trees or paid high
prices for them. or what was told
you by the man who sold them to
you, nor how many times he prom
ised to replace them for you if they
did not prove the value Of the tree,
but it is the fruit they bear. Good
fruit can only be grown on good
trees. 1t is a laudable ambition ex-
pressed by every buyer of trees,
that he wants the best for his own
family use.
Now, If he wants the best he can
get the best. How? Buy from men
that you know to be reliable and
competent to select such varieties
as are adapted to your soil and cli-
mate and purposes. II you want a |
market orchard you need differ
ent variety of fruits from what you
would want for family use. If you
are huying from competent parties
who are honest and have reputation
for fair dealings, then ask them to
assist in the selection, or send your
order through the statesmen to the
nursery man who has grown the
trees you want, and state whether
you want 1t for family purposes or
for the market.
The scientific horticulturists de-
lights is nothing more than to have
opportunity to send his own ,selec-
tions TO buyers and protects the in
terest of both and advertises his
stock, and makes permanent custo
mer.
