THE DIAMOND.
The Big Eaters of Big Leagues
 Have Big Averages.

Three Whitewashes in the Connecticut
 League esterday--Hartford, New
 London and Norwich Were the Re
 cipients of the Row of Goose Eggs.
 The batting averages in the Amerl- can and National leagues up to date show that Napoleon LaJoie and Hans Wagner are still setting the pace in ther respective organizations, ana, UzREAously enough, each has the same percentage, 1856. Roaring Bill ken nedy tops the list among the National league payers, with an average of y365, but William has only played ill fifteen games, and the real palm of leadership belongs to Wagner, who has laced opposing pitchers in Ill games. The American league has seventeen players who are hitting as good as 300 or over, while the National league has twenty Willie Keeler has come to the front with rush during the past week and is now eleventh, with an average of .3O5 keeier seems to have finally struck his proper stride and will probably be up among the leaders at the end. He is the only
  the 300 list. The Clevelands have three men with marks better than 300. They are Lajoie, Hickman and Brad ley. Both Parent and Collins of Bos- ton have fallen off in their hitting, and the coming champions now hnve only two 300 batters. Young and Doherty, Barrett, Crawford, Mullin and Dopo- van are all hitting above 300 for De troit, while Green and Callahan are the best of the White Sox. Davis and Pickering are the only two of the champion Athletics in the list, Wagner leads the Nationals, with Chance of Chicago second and Roger Bresnahan of New York third, point behind Chance. The lRedland players have been batting hard lately and there are now six of them who are in the 300 class. Pittsburg and Chicago each have four batters with big averages, and Brooklyn three. New York has two and Philadelphia and St Louis one each. In the American league Dough erty has made more hits than any of the other players. Pickering has scored the most runs and Bay has stolen the most bases. The Detroits lead in team hitting, with an average of 273. Freed man leads in extra base hits, with Hickman second. The Bostons lead In team fielding. The Chicagoes and Pittsburgs are tied for the team bat ting honors in the Nationals and the Brooklyns lead in club fielding. Wag- enr leads in Sstance hitting, with Mertes a close sxAond. Bernhard leads the American pitchers, while sam Leeyer is best among those in the old organization.

SLOW TIME AT HARTFORD.
The Big $1O.O00 Race To-day thu
 Event of the Week.

Event of the Week.
 Hartford, Sept 10.-The average time in which the races were won at Charter Oak park yesterday was far slower than seen before at grand cir cult meeting for several years Still, outside of the colt race, the finishes of many of the heats were cioase enough to make the racing interesting.
 The talent got aboard the good things with vengeance. They had the right horse picked to win each event, conse- quently they returned to town in high glee.
 By making a quick jump from Svra- cuse, N. Y.. Scott Hudson was on hand to drive Jay McGregor in the ''Capi- tol City, 2:19 trot. The big stallion from Kentucky won the event handily enough, but after the first heat some wags wagered $50 against $4 for the field
 When the son of Jay Hawker went to tangled break entering the home stretch the following chat. then caught in pace and shuffied a while, only to jump off his stride again, the crowd yelled He has gone lame.' The hoId- CTS of the big end of the tickets felt cold chills creep down their spines, but when he logged back to the judges stand it was seen that nothing of the sort had occurred.
 Roy Miller secured the heat with Ka- trinka G., which just won the field end of the auction pools that were sold at one time, with Jay McGregor barred for place position at $50 for Navidad to $35 for the field
 James Butler of New York, proprie- tor of the East View farm, Tarrytown, was immensely pleased when his smooth -gaited lilly Daphne Direct cap tured first money in the Hartford futurity for 3-year-old pacers MT Butler bred the lilly and feels very confident that she has a most brilliant future on the turf
 It was the first time she had start cd in race but despite this she SCOT ed and acted i'll every way like sea- soned campaigner. In the second heat Boadell was almost to the distance flag when it dropped and MT Butler re- marked that he hoped she had reached it, even though he stood to get the $20O she would receive if placed.
 The 2:14 trot looked like easy money for Rowellan after his winning race at Providence last week when he got Il record of 2:O9%, trotting the final half of the second heat in 2:O3h. Unfortu- nately James Golden, his trainer, was obliged to scratch him as muscular rheumatism has him for victim, This change in the list of starters caused The Questor to be the public choice. From start to finish he was consistent ly played, and after dropping a couple of heats. managed to head the sum- mary.
 Driver Laughlin T. w. Lawson's sec ond trainer, slipped away with the mi tial heat with Dreamer after a close finish It was the first heat a Lawson horse has won on the grand circuit since Boralma''s retirement to Dream wold farm.
 Ben Walker just got Crescent to the l wire ahead of Willard Saunders the fourth heat. which gave him second money. The Questor made six or seven short breaks during the mile caused by n boot dropping down and bothering him. Tn the heats Ed Geers won with him he drew the finishes extremely 1 close.
