GREATEST THAT EVER WAS.
Ned Hanlon's Opinion of Shortstop
"Hanso Wagner.

New York. Sept. 14.-Ned Hanlon has
this to say of the Pittsburg team and
Hans Wagner the other day:
when l see team go out under a
handicap as Pittsburg did in~the spring
and practically make a runaway race of
it l am compelled to take off my hat 10
the club owners. Pittsburg has this
year made q fight, the like of which is
seen but seldom. The American got
some of her best talent, but she simply
closed uD and went out to show what
could be done. l honor Barney Dreyfuss
Cor winning the pennant with what the
American League left him. He did not
yell or seek for new talent. He an
nounced that he would show the enemy
what could be done with what had been
left him and he has done so.
But could he have done it without
Hans Wagner? I don't think so. The
more l have seen of that mans play
the less l think of my own experience
among ball players. When with Detroit
1 thought 1 was among the hardest hit
tiers the world could produce. 1 have
had what seemed the height of perfec-
ton in fielding among my men at Balti-
more and Brooklyn. I won the pennant
several times in Baltimore and in
Brooklyn, but / am here to say that the
greatest ball sDlayer who ever lived is
the shortstop of the Pittsburg team to-
day.

Pittsburg. Kas., Sept. 14.-Friday
child was born to Miss Marie Cloudy,
of 720 East Twentieth street. When

dead. The circumstances surrounding
the case were such that County Attor-
ney Wayde notified Coroner Strobe. He

home stated that the Unfortunate
young woman When she realized her
condition frequently declared that she
would not let the babe be born alive,
and also that when the babe was born
she heard it cry and knew that it was
alive and that its death was caused
afterwards by the mother, who was
alone with it. The mother of the child
Is a young woman aged p years. The

Napoleon Lajoie VIII Lead
Americans With the Willow.
There Are Only Twelve Players
in the 300 Class.
KITTRIDGE THE STAR.
Washington Catcher Leads All
Behind the Bat.
Detroit Leads in Club Batting
Boston in Fielding.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE latest re-
turns pertaining to the averages of the
American league indicate that Napoleon
Lajoie will land the batting champion
ship of that organization.
AS the season has progressed Lajoi has
become stronger and stronger with the
stick, while those who went to the front
early in the fray have taken a decided
slump. The figures show which way the
wind is blowing. and unless some of the
players now close on Lajoies heels take
a decided brace in their work the IA
nous player will win the honor hands
down. Lajoie's nearest rival for leader
ship among the batters is none other
than Dougherty of Boston, who agreed
to go to Cincinnati and then went back
on his word. Dougherty is 16 points
behind the F'renchman, and is smuggling
away with the same consistency which
has marked his work since the season
ranking third in the race is Sam CraW-
ford Of Detroit. Barrett of Detroit, an
other ex-Red, follows Crawford, and is
coming along at a rate which will com
pei the other fellows to do little
sprinting to keep in front.
During the past month there have
only been fourteen players in the select
bingle society. Two have fallen by the
,WaySlde, and Two OF the present twelve
are hanging onto the figure three by. the
skin of their teeth, while three others
of the present push have their noses
barely over the much desired mark Out
of this number of star batters PhlIadel-
phia claims three, Detroit three. Boston
two, Cleveland two, and Chicago and
New York one each. Neither st. Louis
nor Washington has a stieker up among
the big guns. Burkett is the only
Brownie with respecta BILE looking
figures, while Orth of Washington,
pitcher at that leads his associates.
Plank of Philadelphia holds the honor
of being the best fielding twirler in the
American league Notwithstanding that
both Howell and Deering of New York
are still without an error.
Kittridge of Washington, the Boston
National league cast-off, is still leading
the catchers. Clarke of the same team
tops the first basement Long of De-
troit, who recently switched from short
to second, easily leads in that class The
tail end Washingtons are shown again
in front with Moran showing his heels
to all the shortstops. Jones of Chicago
is the premier outfielder, with Ryan of
Washington treading on his coat tails.
Fultz and Conroy of New York, and
Holmes of Chicago are hustling for the
base running honors. Bay of Cleve-
land has stolen more bags than the
above three, but has played in more
games, fact which drops him down the
percentage table.
Freeman of Boston has never been
headed as the boss slugger of the
league, but is now being hard pressed
by both Hickman and Bradley of Cleve-
land. Detroit leads in club batting,
Boston in fielding and in long hits by
clubs

Grim stays sig Rounds.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 14.-Joe Grim. the
Italian boxer, STAYED six rouAls with
Joe Walcott Saturday night before the
State Athletic club. Walcott never
tried harder in his boxing career than
he did to stop Grim. and the beating he
administered to the Italian stamps the
latter as a physical wonder and a great
defensive boxer. The Italians antics
puzzled Walcott and brought forth
MANY smiles from the latter, being
somewhat amused at Joe's efforts to
box. Excitement at times was at fever
heat, and especially in the second round
when Grim let go one of his wild
swings, landing full on Walcott's neck
with resounding whack. Grim fol-
lowed the blow with two more and the
crowd yelled itself hoarse. Grim had
the best of the round. During the sixth
round Walcott tried everything he
knew. bringing into play all his Wen
known cunning to draw the Italian on,
but Grim was not to be caught nap
ping. and while he was tired and sore
from the terrible body beating Walcott
gave him. he was there at the end.
