Labor il next with H. and Post once.
Navy and Interior follow in order with
20. .2f3. and .206 respectively.
It seems strange that Interior tie for -hrst
place In the pennant race, should be last In
team batting. while on the other hand
Treasury In last place In tho race stands
second. This will be readily understood.
however. when 1t Is considered that con-
dftions on the two teams are exactly the
reverse. Treasury has played practically
the same men In every game and every
one of their regular men Is hitting. not at
fast clip. but steadily and consistently.
On the other hand Interior seldom has the
same line-up twice in succession and most
Of their hits are made by few men 1t
steadily won games for the Reds
1t is also surprising that Navy has also
dropped back In team batting, while they
have steadily won games and bettered their
position In the race.
Commerce and Labor has shown the
greatest improvement and their batting
has been entirely Of the kind that brings
results. They have won any number OF
games by timely stick work.
Sabins, the smiling sergeant, who plays
at first for War Is leading the individuals
with an average OF .4lo for eleven saInes,
an advance of nearly 200 per cent In
month. Herbert Of Commerce and Labor
Is second with .4O8 and Orrison of Post
Office third with 400. These are the only
three men batting above the 400 marx
and they deserve a great deal of credit
1t is generally recognized that the De-
partmental League has a number OF the
best amateur pitchers in the city, and UNI
doubtedy the strongest pitching corps as
a whole. When this fact is considered 1t
Is remarkable how the batting keeps up.
as there are twenty-one men batting $40
or better. These men are deserving Oh
praise.
Capt.. Harry Bryan of Navy tops the 800
class with $780, and he has played In TWO
more games than any of those ahead or
him. Every team with the exception OF III
terror has two or more men batting over
800. " Wahler is the only Interior man In
this class, standing sixth with an average
of $40.
Bruce Bielaski of Justice leads the run
getters with II, Barnhart of Interior ana
Taylor of Agriculture running him close
second with Is each.
Bryan of Navy leads in number OF nits
with 81. Hofmann of Agriculture coming
second with 10
Hofmann ano Tracy of Justice are tie Tor
the lead in sacrific1f 'rfts with each.
Torney of Commerce and Labor Is the
best bast stealer, having IA. with Taylor OF
Agriculture and Bryan of Navy close be-
hind with 13 and T. respectively.
There are only three men who have
played In three or more games without get
ting hit. They are North, Commerce and
Labor: CANNED, Navy, and Houlehan,
Justice.
Following are the complete figures for all
those players participating in three or
more games:

LUCKY MISTAKE
BY A THURMAN
Waged $500 on a Long Shot,
Thinking 1t Was Fifty
Horse Won at 10 to |.

Special Correspondents Of The Star.
NEW YORK, July 49, 1906
THAT recent mistake OF a bookmaker's
cashier at Belmont Park In paying out
$500 bill for $50 and his fruitless search
for the bettor who had profited $3.50 by the
error reminds me of q similar mistake by
a hacker at old Jerome" said genial John
Peacock one evening recently; with this
difference, that by strange irony of fate
the aforesaid hacker of the good old days
profited to the extent of ten times $3.50. for
he got his $500 bill on a successful 10 to 1
shot, thinking he had bet only $50 against
$500. and never looked at his ticket until
after the race, when he went to cash in.
Some of you know the man to whom
fell this windfau at old Jerome, and also
the unfortunate bookmaker who got the
hot end of the strange mistake to the tune
of a. 800. For IL the hacker had followed
out his original intention. and only got the
$50 bill down. the bookie would have had
winning sheet on the race. for the horses
price heightened at the close and went 70

tent"
Here Is Peacock's story:
A Brooklyn thurman.
Brooklyn's turf enthusiast. A. W. Wyn-
gardt, better known. as Andy Wyngardt,
In the eighties used to own that good
jumper wellington. Little Addie and one
or two other horses. But his role as an
owner was not OF very long duration. and
his colors have not been seen on q race
track of late years. Not a very heavy bet
tor as a rule. Andy" occasionally made
plunge but not to any great extent.
But he was extremely careless man
with his money. Sometimes he would have
O couple of thousand of dollars in his pock-
cts II, bills of various sizes. from large to
small denominations. mixed up in wads and
rolls in all stages of confusion. Naturally.
II often took him some time to straighten
out his cash.
It was ON a gray horse that Wyngardt
met with his good fortune. AS rule, race
horses of that color have not been very
successful. Old Gabriel was one OF the best.

+ Instead of the American League race be-
ing a triangular one 1t now bears the as
pect of a four-cornered night with the pos
season comes to a close. Chicago is now as
much TO be feared as either New York and
the Athletics while Detroit is liable TO
come strong with a rush. as 1t did year
ago when It finished third. Very wise ones
think that Chicago will be there at the fin
ish In Philadelphia they pick the Athletics
TO win, with Chicago second. In New York
they pick the Yankees to win, with Chicago
as the runner up. Thus, in both towns,
Cleveland is not picked to wind up the long
struggle In better than third place.
Those White SOx are certainly marvels.
Although they have not a 800 hitter the
team they have practically won about as
many games as have Cleveland, Philadel-
phia and New York In fourteen games dur
ing the month OF June they were
Cutbatted, yet they won ten of them.
Brains. luck and gameness have been re-
sponsible for the Chicago teams high posi-
ton in the race. Seldom are the Sox guilty
OF stupid plays. They use their heads
throughout, and are often pulling off the
unexpected They are not welded to the
hit-and-run. nor to the sacrifice. but mix
them up to suit the occasion In a recent
game Hahn walked starter. Next the
hit and-run was employed. and Hahn went
way to third on the hit. The next batter
1sbell. also worked the hit-and-run play
third An inheld out scored the second run.
