with 500 per cent, and Wagner has es-
tablished the same figures against the
( National tWirlers.
Wagner is now out Of the game for
the season, owing to an injury to one
Of his legs. Therefore. Larry Will
either have to keep up the 1856 clip. or
exceed it, or give up the hOnors to the
sturdy Pirate.
In the opinion of experts both Lajoia
and Wagner rank as batters with any
of the great hitters of the past Both
would undoubtedly have better aver
ages but for two reasons. One is that
they are both impatient while at the
bat and win hit at anything that
comes within reach, instead Of working
pitchers for bases on balls. Another
reason is that the fielders play so much
deeper for Larry and Hans than they
do for most other batsmen that in al
most every game they are robbed Of
hits on tremendous drives that would
be safe with nearly any other man in
the game.
Both are free hitters and can pick a
ball from off their shoe tops or from
behind their ears and poke it out for
two bases. Both are fast I'm going to
first base and can beat out short slow
hits with the speed OF Willie Keller
and George Browne.

Laioie's Record in 1see.

In 1899 Lajoie made a record that
proved him TO be about the hardest hit
ter that ever played the game. On
May IS of that year against Pitcher
Colcolough, then with the New York
club, Lajoie hit the ball so hard that
he broke the rubber and made il unfit
to play with. Later in the season he
repeated the feat in Cincinnati. The
Enquirer Of that city described the in
cident as follows:
Larry LajOie, the terrific batter with
the Philadelphia team, hit a ball so
hard in Mondays game that ne actual
~ broke it. IT was in the third inning.
LaJoie Strengthened out on the first ball
pitched. lie met it squaTely and pushed
his weight against it. The ball went
at a terrific rate of speed and struck
the center field fence near the top with
resoundinE whack. The bail carOnied
off the fence, and before Elmer smith
could field il LajOie was on third. The
bail was thrown to Umpire Burns for
inspection He examined it and threw
the bah out of the game. The awful
Joit that Lajoie gave it broke the ruiz
Der on the inside. IT was knocked lon
sided and was no longer fit for play"
Malachi kittridge gives the follow
ing advice 10 the Washington pitchers.
Place the ball at a medium rate OF
speed over the middle of the rubber
OF cut the plate with a slow arched
curve Whenever LaJoie is facing YOU
The big Frenchman will write an obit-
uary in the shape of a double. triple or
homer on any ball that has steam be-

DISCOVERIES IN MARINE LIFE.
Successful Work Of Prof Ritter at San
Diego, Cal.

SAN DIEGO. Cal, July 23.-The investi-
cation of marine life In the waters of San
Diego bay by Prof Ritter and his assist
ants. of the University of California, has
resulted in valuable additions to the
knowledge of marine biology of the Pa
cifc
Among the protozea and coelentera, a
number of new forms have been discovered
within the last few days. One of these is
the 'peridnium' of the animaculae. that
causes the water to assume the reddish hue
that at times has been noticed and that is
said to give the characteristic hue to the
Red sea.
Other rare specimens discovered are the
radiolaria. with skeletons of silica and of
marvclously elaborate patterns which hith-
erto have been reported only by the IA
nous challenger expedition to the tropical
Atlantic in 1872 The most remarkable dis
covery. perhaps. Is that of the "saphyrina"
whose iridescence vies with the plumage
of the peacock, showing III turn violet. pur-
pie. green, copper and bronze and at night
becoming phosphorescent. Numbers of new
specimens of iellytish have been found and
new ones of the order of crustacean.
