 ET0xEN. ......
The Batting Average of the Team Has Fallen oF--Average of Players Compiled by
 Squire Brown.

The Selma baseball team seems to have run up against a snas of some kind. and after it's phenomenal record of winning eleven out of twelve straight games, it started down hill and lost the next five straight.
 Cribbens won the first Chattanooga game last Monday in Selma, Lew Whistler's gang being able to get but five scattering hits off him. while ne gave but two bases on balls and struck out three men. The score was to l in favor of Selma, the one run for Chattanooga being made on an error and hit in the ninth inning. Tuesday the game in which Baker had such poor control was played. He gave eight bases on balls. Chattanooga only win ming by one run.
 The third Chattanooga game was the one Wednesday, when Dolan made monkeys out of the Selmians. three hits being all they could make off the Chattanooga pitcher. Then began the holocaust on the road. the Selma pitch CTS being badly punished by Dischers s Nashville gang, who revenged them selves for the three straights that Sel- ma took at home.
 Fort McAfee pitched the first game Thursday and seventeen hits were made off him, although Selma got seventeen off Hill, the game ending IS to IS in favor of Nashville. Friday they hit Cribbens twelve times, the hits again being even. as Selma got twelve off Sanders, but Nashville managed to rally at the bat in the eighth inning and the score was 8 to I in favor of Nashville.
 Then Saturday there was fearful fusilade, twenty hits being made on Bailey and Baker together, the game heinz 1S to i in favor of Nashville.
 The team has dropped from bat ting average of .26s last week to .25O this morning. Valdois leads them in hitting. with 62 hits in 47 games, hay ing II hits in the 76 games last week. The batting of Tom Fender has been something great. He has made b1 hits in AS games, 12 of them being made last week and i've of them in the first Nashville game in Nashville.
 There Is a slight improvement In the team fielding average--.96 .96s this week against .as6 fast week. Fender still leads the fielding with eight errors out of S45 chances.
 The averages, including Saturdays s Rame in Nashville. are as follows:
