THE AVERAGES.
Augusta Team Shows Marked Improve
ment in Batting During the Week.

Another week of the Trolley League
season has passed and marked change
| is apparent in the Augusta teams work.
1.-THE batting has shown Improvement while
the fielding las fallen off slightly on the
whole. The quality of ball handed out 10
| the consideration of the fans has beer
good. but the Augusta team has had the
short end in the games OF the week, hay
ing won but one game IN i've, but 1T was
not altogether on account Of poor play
ing, for their did play pretty good ball
but happened to be on the wrcng end
Wh@E II came to getting runs. Many OF
the hits credited to the players did not
count, that is, they did not materially
help in run getting for the team had Il
large number of men left on bases
| Then again when hits were wanted they
We're found lacking and errors, too, came
ut the wrong time SO that taking every
thing into consideration il may be sum
med up that Augusta had hard luck dur
ing the past week.
Wiley mad, his first error of the sea-
son. Monday. but maintains the excellent
liieldng average of 80. having missed hut
| two out of III chances. His batting.
| though. is way off. he having secured but
one hit since the Fourth.
| The Remission brothers are proving the
teams nainStay having an excellent av-
erase near the 800 mark. and their bat
| ting has been good especially that of Ed
| die kenniston, he jumping from seventh
| place in the list to the second position and
now has perhaps the best average in the
league.
Craig dropped slightly in both batting
and fielding, but nevertheless is playing
bail all III" time and adds much to the
teams efficiency by his example in going
after the bali and his CHEEKY words Of
| hope. 1T makes no difference how far
behind tn" team is in runs. Parker is al
ways confident.
Wiley has gained in stick work and
| made one error during the week. but ac-
cording to the fans it was in n large de-
gree eXcuSable owing to the sun being
in line with the ball. Cap. however more
| than made w. for that as he has made
mt least four brilliant catches Of hard
drives and undoubtedly cut Off many rnns.
Moody has played n better game tnan
previously and has managed to improve
his batting average over 100 points. and
if he can emily stand the pace will prove
Il good man for the team.
The other players have held their own
both in feeling and batting. and by re
peating the work of last week the Au-
gusta team will land the majority of
games the coming week.
TIL, following is the batting and field
ing averages of each individual member
that has been on Manager Purinton's
payroll thus far this season:

Sioux City, Sept 27.-4After a des-

well known pawn broker of this city,
was confined In the county Jail, prior
to being taken to Anamosa penitentla-
ry to serve Il sentence Of four years
on the charge of receiving stolen pro-
perry Levich and his wife wept all
the way to the Jail, and there was
some difficulty in getting the two sep
arated, as the woman had grown hys-
tetical, throwing her arms around her
husband and holding him with all her
strength.
She was led away by a relative and
Levich was put into a cell. The blow
seemed to have driven away the man 8
senses and for few minutes after he
was placed In the cell he acted like a
demented person.
His arrest at his store on Fourth
street was the signal for q large crowd
to gather. The moment deputy Sheriff
Barker appeared on the scene with the
necessary papers, Levich OWNED his
purport and gave way to loud cries.
His wife, who at the time was In
another part Of the store, hearing the
noise, ran up and, guessing at the
business on hand, also added loud la
mentations to those Of Levich.

Clinton, Sept 27.--Serious charges
may be preferred against Charles Mohl
and p. paasch, two young Goose Lake
farmers. who were arrested by Sheriff
j. H. Moran and brought to the Gin
ton county Jail on information sworn
out by Fred Steinbeck, one of their
neighbors. 1t is thought probable that
the charge OF extortion and threatening
to commit public offense will be
brought against the two men, Stein
beck tells the Clinton authorities a
story of abuse in which the two men
under arrest figure.
The story goes that the three men
were at a dance in Preston recently,
when Steinbeck was attacked by the
other two, who accused him of having
run into their buggy on the way to the
dance, breaking wheel. After the
men had struck Steinbeck. the latter
left the hall, and was making his way
homeward on foot. according to his
story, when a buggy in which four
of these, Mohr and Paasch, aighted
from the buggy and advanced towards
him in threatening manner. Stein
beck sought refuge in a barn, into
which the men followed him, throwing
him down and administering a severe
beating to the young farmer. Then
they told him that If he did not place
certain sum of money to their credit
In the Preston bank they would come
back and kill him. Instead OF putting
the money in the bank at the disposal
Of his assailants. as he tells the police
he was ordered to do. Steinbeck visit
ed the office of the sheriff, and caused
the arrest of the two men, who will be
arraigned next Saturday for their pre-
liminary hearing. In the meantime
more serious charge than that under
which they were arrested, may be pre-
ferred against them. The grand jury
is now in session and 1t Is not unlikely
that they will act in the matter.
