The fielding averages of the National
League are also out but they are of an
unofficial character. Warner Of New York
led the catchers, while Jacklitz, who is
among the Washington possibilities. is
away down near the foot of the list, rank
ing seventeen. Dexter of Chicago led the
first basemen, and De1ehanty, who played
that position fifty-two times. ranks third.
Peitz of Cincinnati is the best second base
man. but as he played In but twenty
games. his figures are not convincing
DeMontrevile was in 119 games and ranks
third, but on the showing is entitled to the
games at third for the Phillies and his

ninety-six games and worked his way up
, to second place. George Davis continued

tackled the ST. John team of Annapolis, In

the friends of the blue and gray naturally
believed that the local players had a sure
victory before them, but the Marylanders
put up splendid game, and as a result
the final whistle blew with neither side
being credited with point. Reilly of
Georgetown made a thrilling run of forty
yards in the last few seconds of the game
but 1t was not allowed on account of in
