TANNEHILL NOW LEADS
Little Keller is Slowly Climbing
Toward the Top.
Willis Holds the Strike Out
Record For Pitchers.

New York, July 15.-The latest out
put of the National league averages
look as though Kansas cyclone mad
struck the percentage OF al the ieaaing
batsmen The power of the batting
average smasher can be readily under
stood when it is rem embered that PETIT
was leading the league two weeks ago
with .429. and now stands 1854. Tanne-
hill was second with .419, but now leads
the league with 1854. Nichols of ST.
Louis ranked third with 1888, but has
dropped to fourteenth place with the
measly figures of .314. Beckley, Beau

resentative sluggers.
In addition to Peitz and Beckley the
Reds have Crawford, Phillips and Beck
Bransfield and Leach are the other pi-
rates besides Beaumont in the same
division. St. Louis as usual has the
most batsmen among the leaders. Lit
surely climbing to the top. Keller who
is probably the most scientific batter in
the country, will likely be the first play
err in America to make 100 hits. At the
last accounting the great ball tosser had
92 to his credit, with his list being
swelled at every game. New York is
the only team in the league without a
player in the society of the 800. Bower
man is the nearest to it, with 27S, while
the rest are in the dumps.
The deplorable accident to Lefty
Davis of the Pittsburgs takes from the
league the greatest base-stealer and
run-getter of the organization. His loss
will be kel lly felt by the chan pions,
who will now be compelled to depend
on Fred Clarke as their leading base
runner.
The pitchers records are interesting.
Wild Bill Donovan Of Brooklyn is up
holding his reputation as the non-plate
locator, having given 20 bases on balls
since the season opened. Willis holds
the strike-out record with Ill. In II
games 1872 hits have been made off Yer
kes of ST. Louis. The most runs have
been secured off of Pittsburg, of Bos-
ton 70 in Il games. Evans of New York
enjoys the distinction of hitting the
most batsmen.
Pittsburg still leads in club batting,
fielding and long hits by clubs. The
Reds rank third in batting and seventh
champions in long hits. Cincinnati still
leads in double plays, with So; Chicago
second, with So; ST. Louis, As; New
York As; Brooklyn, AZ; Philadelphia 81,
and Pittsburg, "a. Two triple plays
have been made since the season open
ed. one at New York June in a game
with Pittsburg by Ritchey and Wagner

at Philadelphia June Is, being made by
Bean, Smith, OHagen and Yeager.
Seven double errorless games have been
played, Pittsburg and Cincinnati May

An Au-Day Food
Wheat and Pure Fruit Combined

Perfection is a strong word to apply
to food product 1t Is not recklessly
used, however, when applied to CERO-
FRUTO because this IS perfect human
food, possessing, 1t does, one hundred
per cent nutrition. In other words, all of
its solids are soluble in the juices of the
stomach and therefore capable of being
assimilated by old and young. weak and
strong.
The name indicates its character. 1t is
a carefully balanced combination of the
choicest wheat berries and the purest
fresh fruit. The elaborate and complete
processes to which both the wheat and the
fruit are subjected eliminate the undesfra-
BILE waste of each. CERO-FRUTO is sus-
tanning, satisfying, delicious, healthful. It
is not alone breakfast food-it is adapted
to any meal. Being predigested it is an
ideal dish to be eaten for late supper. Il
maj! also be eaten with any diEestible
combination of foods without unpleasant
effects
CERO-FRUTO is garnished by nature
1t contains more nutrition for the brain
worker, the growing child and the work
ing man than any other cereal product
Physicians universally recommend the lib
eral of fruits to assure a perfect sterile
condition of the stomach, as they are es-
pecially rich In the choicest of all sugars
Levulose, fruit sugar, which represents
starch in state of complete digestion.

Wheat in Lincoln County Is Al
most q Failure.
Not in 25 Years Has There Been
Such q Poor Crop.
TOO MUCH RAINFALL.
The Corn Crop, However, Is in
Excellent Condition.
Largest Acreage Ever Plant ed
in the County.

Lincoln, Kan, July 15.-Harvest is
about over in Lincoln county, much OF
the wheat which the farmers were ex-
pecting to cut having been left stand
ing because the weeds took possession
of the fields. A great deal of that put
up in stacks is now spelling from the
effect of the rains and there being SO
little ripe wheat in proportion to the
weeds and green wheat which started
to grow when the rains set in, it not
being yet matured. Although there are
some fields of excellent wheat in the
county it is considered the worst failure
here in the last 25 years.
The corn crop is expected to more
than compensate for the failure in
wheat. There is the largest acreage by
far ever put out in the county, and 1t
is in splendid condition, although some
is quite small yet on account of late
planting and cool weather. Hay and all
forage crops are of rank growth and
promise rough feed enough to support
more stock than has ever been wintered
here. Farmers are searching for more
stock to pasture, the range being cap
able of supporting several times the
amount of stock there is in the county.
About ten inches of rain fell here dur
ing June, and several inches already
have fallen in this month. A number of
bridges have been washed away, one
stone arch bridge over the Spilman
having been destroyed twice while in
process of erection.
Politics will be lively this fall and a
close contest is expected. Several candi-
dates are up for almost every Office on
both tickets. L. J. Rees, owner of the
Lincoln roller mills, and J. D. Miller.
formerly representative from this coun-
ty, are the Republican candidates for
nomination for representative. David
Swank, ex-county commissioner,
and D. E. Books, ex-county clerk, are
mentioned for the Populist nomination
for the same office.
There are five Republican and three
Democratic candidates for sheriff.
DR.. P1ckerel, now of Plainville but
formerly in practice at Salina, will prob
ably move here in the near future to
practice his profession.
There are several fine residences now
in process of construction.
The Kansas Christian college will in
crease its faculty. and revise its course
this year so as to bring it up to the
standard of the State university. A
large attendance is expected.

Connie Mack Says the Athletics Have

Philadelphia, July 14.-Connie Mack.
manager of the Athletic Baseball team,
refutes in uncertain terms the state
ment of John J. McGraw that the Ameri-
Benjamin J. Shibe, of the Athletics, has
losing club on his hands, and would be
glad to be relieved of the burden. Mr..
Mack said:
"McGraw's statement that the Ameri-
can League is in debt is too ridiculous
for consideration, and he undoubtedly
based his remarks on the condition of the
Baltimore club, which is the highest
priced in the league, and failed a
money maker through his own misman-
aged and quarrelsome methods. will bet
McGraw LOCO that the Athletics did make
money last year and are making money
this year."
