AVERAGES of THE OMAHA TEAM
Week shows Continued Improvement
in All Depn rtments of the Game.

IN All departments OF the Games
While the hitting is not yet up 70 grade
the rest of the work of the Omaha team
Is the finest ever seen, and Is of the sort
that Is sure to tell in the long run, 1t
seems incredible that an organization that
is putting up such a splendid game in the
held, behind such an excellent corps OF
pitcners should not get to the front, ana
those who are really wise to the situation
look for great forward movement in
the Omaha standing. The team hitting
has improved during the week per cent
age points (this record including the game
of Saturday,, but the hitters do not seem
to work together well. Constant practice
Is sure to bring the results in this line.
The team fielding Is delight, 1914 per cent
of the chances having been accepted, with
a total of 1888 chances offered In thirty
three gaines which is a good enough rec
ord for anyobdy's team. Bill Schipke Is
the only member OF the team who now
fingers below the 80 per cent mark. and
he is bringing his average UP from the
depth TO which 1t fell while he was throw
ing with his bad wrist. Bill has Jumped
from 500 three weeks ago to 1893, and
time has made but three hobbies, this
showing how hard he is working, for he
has had fifty-three chances IN those games,
an average OF three to the game. His
fielding average for these three weeks is
better than that, for in the last Two weeks
but one error, getting that at Colorado
Springs on Saturday. Here are the aver
