AMERICAN LEAGUE
HITS THE HEAVIEST
0UTBATS MEN OF NATIONAL
ORGANIZATION
Terrific Stick Work Of Hal Chase
Proves Thrilling Feature of
the Great Pennant
Race

That the American league is a more
evenly balanced organization than the
National association is evident from
the fact that considerable discrepancy
exists as regards the hitting abilities
of American and National stickmen. In
the former league twenty-one men are
batting 300 or better, while the Ma
tionals can claim but thirteen 300
stickers.
The National has four weak clubs
while the American has always been
an evenly balanced league. as its PEN
nant races show. This year the Ma
tional has the best race of recent years.
four clubs, Chicago Pittsburg, New
York and Philadelphia being nicely
punched. These four contain the choi-
cest material of the old league but
last year the National was worse off
than this for high-class talent.
To the delight of the fans, the Ma
tional is growing stronger yearly, while
the American is holdings it's own. 1t
must be remembered that the National
was left In sore straits when peace
was declared by the two major leagues
Players drawing miserly salaries
jumped by the wholesale to the Amer

large majority never returned, though
liberal inducements were offered them.

ers, the National league clubs had only
the minor leagues left to recruit their
depleted ranks from. This was slow
as well as costly work, inasmuch as a
club is lucky If it discovers one star
in dozen "bushers" drafted or bought
from the minors.
At the end of last week it was noted
that there were a number of changes
among the sluggers of both major
leagues. Steinfeldt, who led the Ma
tional the previous week. gave way 20
King, the star catcher, who is now hit
ting at 1852. Stenfeldt dropped to fifth
place, being passed by Donlin, Chance
and Wagner.
King hit like demon, for he was
tenth on the list the week before. Aside
from Chance, Lumley is doing the best
work with the stick of the coast play
ers now in the National. Ganley, Ben
nett, Courtney, Nealon, Mertes and
Beckley are in the $50 to 300 division
In the American league Elberfield
forced Stone out of first place, but this
feat was not as sensational as the ter
an average of .313 the previous week.
Last week he knocked himself into
fifth position with the juicy average
of .347. There were only three regular
players, Elberfield, Stone and Seybold,
setting a faster pace, but Hal will
catch and pass them if he continues
his present gait week or two longer.
Below is given a list of the players
hitting 300 or better in both leagues:
AMERICAN LEAGUE
Los Angeles herald., 1906-06-22

A race which promises to exceed in
interest the memorable one between
Hancock's automobile and Roy Kna-
benshue's airship, in which contest the
won, will take place on the Fourth of
July between some automobile and the
Man Angel. The race will, if the
challenge is accepted. be the longest
ever attempted, and the result is in
doubt.
The Man Angel has showed that 1t
was almost perfectly dirigible on more
than one occasion, and under favorable
weather conditions, with no head winds
to battle against, the little airship
seems to have a good chance of winning
the $1,000 bet.
A new bag has been constructed by
Mrs. Alva Reynolds, who has built all
of the eight bags which Mr.. Reynolds
has used. 1t is slightl,- larger than
Los Angeles herald., 1906-06-22

Man Angel No. Z, the increased gas
capacity being necessary on account of
the heavy material used in the con-
struction of the bag.
Mr. Reynolds is very confident of the
success of his machine and has shown
his confidence in his invention by the
large wager he has posted on the out
come of the race. 1t is expected that
the challenge will be accepted before
noon today, for there are many automo-
bile owners in the city to whom a
sporting proposition such as Mr.. Rey-
nolds makes would be most attractive.
George d. Frisbie, who has operated
the Man Angel on all Of It's flights, will
be in the machine on the Fourth. In
addition to the race on the Fourth
there will be several exhibition flights
on the Sundays preceding and following
it. The first of these Will take place
Sunday next.

REQ CAR WINS
FROM TOURIST
IMPR0MPTU CONTEST OCCURS
AT POMONA
Endurance Runs Arouse Spirit OF
Rivalry Among Southern Cali
fornla Owners Of Various
Makes

Endurance and hill climbing contests
appear now to be the rage among
Southern California automobilists and
out at Pomona spirit of rivalry has
arisen among owners of various makes.
f. c. Thomas of the suburban place
sends word of a little hill climbing conE
test that occurred several days ago,
when his Rep car proved too much for
a Tourist machine,
A challenge emanating from owners
of a Buick, Rambler and Tourist caused
Mr.. Thomas to be on hand at the ap-.
pointed hour. The Rambler and Buick
did not appear and a two car race be-
tween the REQ and Tourist resulted in
a victory for the former.
Charles j. Glidden. the donor of the
Glidden tour trophy and world re-
nowned as a globe girder, will take part
in the tour this year. He is now on his
way home from Japan. Mr.. Glidden
started his trip around the world in
1901, and he has driven up to date 3d.
900 miles. When he finishes the trip in
1911 he will have gone almost double
that distance He has been in thirty
five countries and is looking for fifteen
more. Mrs. Glidden always accompan-
les her husband, and they have an ex-
pert mechanic with them. After the
Glidden tour in America is over Mr..
and Mrs. Glidden will visit African
countries.
The numerous additions to the mem-S
bership of the New York Motor club
and the many applications for member
ship pending have made 1t necessary
for the club to have larger quarters and
the directors and officers are now in
veStigating with a. view to securing
either larger rooms at the Cumberland,
where the club meets, or headquarters
at some other central point. The daily
luncheons at the Cumberland are meet
ing with much popular favor and the
palm room, reserved for the use of the
members, is crowded each day.
The Wayne Automobile company re-
ports that it's model H 14-horse power
runabout has met with phenomenal
success. The number which the COM
pany has arranged to manufacture is
all sold and it is now considering con-
tracts to nearly double the output for
this car alone. The model light tour
ing car, which is built on the same lines
as model II, is also meeting with great
success. Part of the company's fac
tory on the corner of Brush and Pi-
quette streets, Detroit, is almost fin
ished and both factories are running
at present to their full capacity.
Asa Goddard, the assistant secretary
of the Cleveland Automobile club, ex-
poets to start soon upon trip survey
ing roads for the Cleveland club and for
the American Automobile association,
in line with the very excellent work
which he did last year in the New Eng
land states. Mr.. Goddard's field of
action now will be in Ohio and it is ex-
pected that he will do great deal to
better the conditions in making ar
rangements with hotels garages and
posting signs for the guidance of
automobilists.
