Wakefield and ALtizer
Are Holding Their Ow1
Only Two of Our Brave Boys Who Remain in
300 Set-AnderSOn and Hickman Next in
Line-NatiOnalS Fifth in Club Batting.

Despite the efforts OF George Stone 10
climb the batting ladder ahead Of Nor
man EIberfeld. the latter stiIl sits on
the bench and without playing at all
keeps in the lead Of the American
League stick artists with HIS uonotonous
1888. Stone is next up with $50, and
King Lajoie has TO be satisfied with
fourth place ard six points below
Clarke. or Cleveland. who has a mark
Of 355.
Wakefield and Aitizer are the only
Westinghouse who remain within the
pale OF the 300. with 80 and .31s, respec-
lively. Anderson and Hickman are the
next down the line with .2s5 and ~.
In the latter class is IsbeIl. of the Chi
cagO White Sox, who, by the way, has
the best batting record by fourteen
points Of any Of his team mates. Cross.
NIL and Jones are next on the list from
Lave's .2u TO the last mans $50. These
records are all within few points Of
last weeks figures Kitson. Hughes
Schlafiy. Falk=nburg. and Stahl are the
only others above the zoo average. stan
ley's mark being just two short Of this
smith, Williams, and our three-hit
beauty. Patten. bring up the rear.
Fifth in Club Batting.
In club batting we are stiH holding
down first place-in the second division.
while in long hits by clubs. We can
boast Of beating out Boston for fourth
place by a good round margin. Hick-
mans enforced absence from the game
has had its effect on his position in the
individual smuggling column, and as a re-
suit he has been showed out Of second
place. where he has been since the early
part OF the season, by LaJoie Al stone
who are fighting il out for the place,
with a total OF seVenty-three extra
bases each Hickman's figure Is seventy
one extra sacks. n base running Niles
who so long held down the top rgng
has dropped TO third place, while HOff-
--.-a a--d Chase have forged to the front
Mil has crept up into sixth place, with
a percentage Of .2S3.
Besides leading all the batters by sit
ting quietly by and looking on Elber-
field is also still the best run getter in
the league, with 81 to mis- credit in his
80 games. which gives him q percentage
OF 40 against the .729 OF Davis. who is
the nearest contender. Leroy IS the
only twirler who has a perfect record
The New Yorker has won all OF the four
games he has pitched. Plank. however
is the real leader, with Il Won and 3
lost. RhOades. Waddell. and White come
next, with little difference IN their
scores. Addie Joss, CIeveland's find, is
also well up at the top with IA won and
lost Washington's best man is Falken-
burg, who has won 10 of the last Il pitch
ed. Smiths record is 3 won and lost
The pitching feats given below. giving
records OF nO-hit games, shut-outs, extra
innings, etc, are also interesting. The

CANOEISTS PLANNING
FOR BIG REGATTA

Just Above the Aque-
duct Bridge.
COMMITTEE IS NAMED
Is in Full Charge Of the Affair-Inter-
esting Program Arranged.
Handsome Prizes.

The executive committee Of the Inter
canoe Club Association is rapidly laying
plans for the coming canoe races which
will be held. contrary TO custom. on the
Potomac just above the Aqueduct, IN
stead Of on the upper Potomac, al
BroadUater, on August Is
This will be the second affair q its
kind this year. and if il is as success
fully managed as the one held under
the auspices Of the same organization
on Decoration day. everything should
go of nicely without a hitch. on the
8Oth OF last May the first meet Of 1906 was
held at Broadwater, and II was sug-
gested by a number Of those present
both participants in the races and spec
tators. that a better plan would be 70
hold them lower down. so that Il would
give more people a chance 10 take them
in. For this reason and because 1t is
less tiresome for the contestants TO pad
die merely above the bridge instead OF
six or eight miles up the canal, It was
finally decided, as has been formerly
stated IN the Times. that that part OF
the river just above Georgetown should
be the scene OF the regatta.
The Regatta Committee.
Following are the members OF the re-
gatta committee who will have entire
charge of the affair: Larry Eberbach,
chairman; R c. HeffibOuer, George

bles. t2il-end race. relay race, war canoe
race, fitting contest
The committee has arranged for hand
some silver medals for winners and
