Based upon the above tables, the av-
erage runs scored per game by each
club is as follows: Philadelphia. 67S:
Boston, 5.95; Brooklyn, $40; New York,
571; Cincinnati, 5-63; st. Louis, $50;
Pittsburg, ass; and Chicago, ABS.
The average number of base hits to a
game by each club is: Philadelphia,
11.04; Boston, 1912; St. Louis, 1904;
Cincinnati, 900; Brooklyn, 9.77; New
York, 1852; Chicago, $50; Pittsburg, 8.S3
How much better or worse these rec
ords are than the average made by the
entire league IS easily seen when the
average runs for the league per game
is shown to be 5.58 and the average base
hits 9.S6
Another interesting record is shown
IT the percentage of runs scored by
first base hits made. Philadelphia led
with exactly 6. In other words, they
succeeded in scoring more runs in pro-
portion to hits made than any other
club, due doubtless to the fact that a
large proportion of their hits were for
extra bases. This was followed by New
York with 5.94; Brooklyn, 5.92; Boston,
SO; Pittsburg, 5.6S; Cincinnati, 5.6S; ST.
Louis. 5.48; Chicago, 4.97.
When it comes to keeping down their
opponents score, Brooklyn led, their op-
ponents only being able to score an aV-
erage of 4.4S runs to game, followed
by PittSburg, AIS; Chicago, SOP; st.
Louis. 5.52; Boston, 5.S1; Cincinnati,
6.07; Philadelphia, $40; New York 696.
In the matter of base hits made by
opponents the Bostons excelled, they
holding their enemies down to an av-
erage of $40 to a game, followed by
Pittsburg, $50: Chicago. 917; Brooklyn,
9.54; st. Louis, 9.91; Cincinnati, 1924;
New York, HOP; and Philadelphia, 1161.
AS regards percentage of runs scored
to first base hits made, the Brooklyns
held their opponents down to .474, Phila-
delphia to .534. Pittsburg to $40. Chi
cago to .547, st. Louis to .557, Cincinnati
to .594, New York to .637, and Boston to
.661.

Issues a Declaration of
Principles.

Charleston, S. c., July 14-The Ma
tional Educational association closed
it's convention here last night. During
the day two sessions of the general con-
vention were held at which several pa
perS were read
President Elect Green was introduced
and spoke briefly at the night session,
after which the committee on resolu-
lions made its report, as follows
I'm accordance with established Gus
tom and in order to enforce those be-
liefs and practices which tend most
powerfully to advance the cause of pop

on intelligent democracy, the National
Educational association, assembled in
it's thirty-ninth annual meeting, makes
this declaration of principles:
THE common school is the highest
hope of the nation. In developing char
acter, in training intelligence, in diff
fusing information, its influence is in
calculable. In last resort the common
school rests not upon statutory support
but upon the convictions and affections
of the American people. 1t seeks not to
cast the youth of the country in COM
mon mold, but rather to afford free play
for individuality and for local needs and
aims, while keeping steadily in view the
common purpose of all education. In
this respect it conforms to our political
ideas and to our political organization
which bind together self-governing
states in a nation, wherein each locally
must bear the responsibility for those
things which most concern it's welfare
and it's comfort. A safe motto for the
school. as for the state, is: In essen
tia1s, unity; in non essentials, liberty;
in all things, charity.
"A democracy provides for the edu-
ca ton of all its children To regard
the common schools as schools for the
unfortunate and the less well to do,
and to treat them as such, is to strike
a fatal blow at their efficiency al
democratic institutions; it is to build

LEAD IN RUNS SCORED.

In playing the game of baseball as it
should be played it is not only necessary
for a club to make runs, but it must
keep the other fellows from making
them, says a Philadelphia statistician in
the Press.
Philadelphia leads the league in runs
scored, as well as base hits made, but
when it comes to holding their oppon-
ents in check, they have the poorest
record of any club in the league. Brook
Ign has made considerably less runs
and hits to game than many of the
other clubs, but they have been able
to hold their opponents to less runs to
a game than any other club. While
Brooklyn has made nearly one run less
to a game than Philadelphia, the teams
opposed to Brooklyn made nearly two
runs less to a game than the teams
opposed to Philadelphia.
The appended table shows the number
of games. times at bat, runs and base
hits made by each club, ranked ac-

Old John Corkhfll never had an equal
as a throWer. He could throw a ball
from any position. and it was always to
the mark Corkhill. however, practiced
the trick. He would throw four or five
balls to the plate during the preliminary
practice to keep his arm right. Van
Haltren, of the New Yorks, is another
of the old school of players who is a
perfect thrower. He gets the ball away
quick.

MCGOWAN, w. T. Virgin and others,
all of whom for various reasons de-
clined the intended gold brick. 1t was
reserved for Sam Davis, and he took
it. This put out of the way another
editor, and also removed an antago-
mist for the Office of Secretary of State
from the path of Eugnee Howell. But
Wallace was not losing any sleep over
Davis getting the nomination. And
so "the pushn were not little startled
when Charley La Grave, after being
put in nomination for the Controller
ship, made his spectacular appearance
upon the platform and told the con-
vention that he didn't want to go up
against a "dead thing" If he had
stayed in the fight he would probably
have won out as Davis was a late
conner. !.
A. @. Pratt, who had made probably
the best Surveyor General Nevada
ever had, was another who had fallen
under the displeasure of Mr. Wallace,
and he did not take the risk of going
before the convention, wisely conclud-
ing that the cards had been stacked for
E. d. Kelley, another editor who had
to be ''looked after,p SO that Mr.. Stew
art might make his fight for senatorial
honors as cheaply as possible.
In all his manipulations of this con-
vention Wallace's strength was mainly
made up of the proxy vote. Lincoln
county had 16 votes in the convention,
and two men cast those 16. One Mead
of the Eiko-Tuscarora Mercantile Co.,
which is held to be an appanage of
Wallace voted proxies. And the
same might be said of any county in
Nevada east of Churchill. And this
proxy vote was cast solidly for Wal
lace's men and Waliace's measures,
for everything from the Endorsement
of Stewart and the refusal to fuse with
the Democrats down to the nomina-
tion of Sadler and Cutting and the
defeat of Cleveland and Bray. AT one
critical juncture, in the proceedings,
when his henchmen from Elko, follow
ing the lead of the honest delegates
from Tuscarora by mistake voted con-
