1t is easy to understand why the In
dianapolis team is not lowering nearer the
top of the championship ladder as the
season draws to a close, when the appended
averages are closely studied. In former
years the Hoosiers have been blessed with
a few good hitters and good run getters in
addition to good pitchers. This year the
pitching staff was crippled at times, but
had the twirlers done remarkable work it
is pretty sure that the team would not
stand much higher, as the batting has been
comparatively weak and the Woodworking
run getters on the team are few and far
between.
Donahue, of the Milwaukee team, heads
the batting averages up to date, with Phil
Geier, of st. Paul, second. Clymer, OF
Louisville, is third. One has to run down
the list many names before he will find
an Indianapolis player. In fact there are
several players on each team higher in the
list than kim, who is the first Indian
apolis man. Bob Wood, of Milwaukee,
will probably end the season with an aver
age of .327 as he is out for the rest of
the year with a torn ligament over his
reart, a dangerous injury.
Miller Higgins tops the bag stealers
with forty-two, but is closely pressed by
three members of the same team. These
four men have done much both with the
stick, on the bases and in the field to hold
the Saints at the top. Owens, of Toledo.
