HOW INDIANS BAT.

Only Ave of the Indians are now
above the 500 mark in the batting
percentage column, and Huelsman has
succeeded in reaching All. The big
fellow is without doubt the best
sticker in the entire league.
Carney, who comes second in the
batting list Of the Indians, is the
hardest hitting pitcher in the league
mot such q hard walloper as he Is a
safe one. A percentage of 3b4 looks
big for anyone, let alone a pitcher.
Is II possible that Nordyke has
again struck the lick he started the
season with? 1t seems SO. His stick
work in the present Tacoma series
Is nothing short of sensational.
Saturdays ls-inning game played
the dickens with the heavy hitters
Of the Indians. The game was the
most wonderful exhibition of a pitch
ers' battle on record In the league
this season.
Dammann, who did the slab per-
Torrance for Spokane, is a peculiar
fellow. With reference to his box
work, he Ii cratic as the worst of
them at times. This 10 particularly
true OF his stunts on the home
grounds. But when he gets on the
road he seems to possess faculty of
playing some Of the most sensational
games In the annals of baseball. Most
Of the games he has won this season
have been when the team was abroad
