What Sam Crawford Thought.

Ball players who aspire to lead the league
in batting spend most Of their spare time
in watching their own and the averages of
the other swatting heroes, playing the
great American game. And much comment
do they make about the way the scorers
mark up the averages.
The scorers in each city. where there is
a hefty boy who can hit EN- where they
amt, are always accused of padding the
averages of the popular idol. Just now
there is rumOr among the American
League ball players to the effect that the
makes a hit or not, and that they cannot
see George Stone. when he does make a hit.
Such talk as this has always been one
of the erroneous g-ouches fostered by ball
players from time immemOrial. and al
though there have been Isolated cases
where favoritsm has been shown in COM
piling hitting averages. yet such conduct
nowadays would not be tolerated. even If
the official scorers desired to pull off any
such play. But one cannot make the play
ers believe this.
The other morning Bill Coughlin and
Sam Crawford were looking over the bi1-
ing averages of the different players. and
Sam said with note of suspicion in his
tone as he looked at the names Of the
fellows who were above him on the list:
It's mighty funny how these guys get
such big hitting average: don't you think
SO, Bill?" he inquired as he turned toward
the third baseman.
well, you know they say that figures
can't lie," replied Bill. as he turned over a
page.
They might not lie.' replied Sam: but
dog my cats, If they amt placed In some
mighty embarrassing positions at times.

DISTRICT LEAGUE NOTES.

Since the seven teams of the District
League have obtained their uniforms the
| playing of the individual members Is greatly
improved With their suits on the boys are
not afraid to hit the ground" when steal
is needed. The raw material which is used
| is being rapidly developed into the real
stuff.
Umpire Smyser is always there with the
goods and his decisions are fair. snappy
and always accepted.
Billingsby of the Property Clerks is rated
as the best catcher in the league. mas
much as this is his first year behind the
bat the game he plays is exceedingly credit
able.
The Assessors team. under the manage
ment of Mr.. Coyie has been reinforced by
several good players from the District
building and they hope to strike winning
streak before long.
johnson OF the Electrical team has done
the heaviest hitting in any one game so far.
The base stealing of Kelly on the Col
lectors' team has been sensational.
Tubby Ballinger with his mighty arm
bears strong resemblance to the famous
Hickman; he bats like him, too.
Buck America is regarded as the best
pitcher in the league He has won every
game he has pitched SO far this season but
one.
Jack Sherman of the water department
Is covering second base in a great style
] while his batting has been hard and timely.

Doyle's Touching Friends.

Laporte, the third sacker Of the New
York team. and one of the most natural
batsmen in the league today, was recently
complaining of the fickleness of the fans.
1t was brought about by the fact that a
large number of the Gotham rooters got
after the big fellow because he had taken
a temporary slump in his batting and they
thought he ought to have got a couple of
hot liners that were sent down to him as
If they had been shot from thirteen-inch
gun.
All at once some fellows in the left field
seats began to yell for Griffith to put Con-
roy back at third. When Laporte came in
to the bench at the end of the inning he
was remarking to Willie Keller about how
q ball player was a prince in the estima-
ton Of the crowd one day. while the next
he was liable to be the most reviled among
human beings.
We'll" replied the philosophic and rather
taciturn Keller. who has developed certain
views on life, its the same all over the
world; it's easy to make friends, but it's
hard to keep them
Its not so in my case" chimed in that
noted satlrist, Pitcher Doyle. as he gave
his belt hitch; 4 have several friends
who appear to be perfectly willing to let
me keep them.

What Schreck Would Like.

Ossie Schreck the famous one-hand
catcher of the Athletics. is perhaps the
greatest pie-eater among the professional
ball players of today. Ossie can eat pie at
any and all times. declare his brother ball
tossers. Connie Mack says he always ex-
poets to hear the hotel management along
the route set up a 'holler" on account of
the way the horny handed Schreck goes
into the pastry.
Mike Powers, the doctor, who is a close
student of all things pertaining to the med
ical profession, was the other day reading a
treatise entitled THE Revolution In the
Mince Pie when Ossie Schreck happened
along. and. CHANGING over Mikes shoulder,
his eye took in the title of the work. Turn
Ing to the little doctor. he exclaimed
That's the kind of revolt, Mike that I
would like to put down.

his bed and to require the services of a
physician.
When the doctor arrived at the hotel,
Grif accompanied that eminent man up to
Jacks room. and upon his inquiring what
was the nature Of Chesbro's illness Grif
replied:
II think it's a clear case. doc. Of hasty
consumption
"Ha. ha, hal" laughed the wise saw
bones, as he looked at the herculean form
and ruddy face of Chesbro: why. there s
no consumption about this young man
That's what he is suffering from all the
same" said Griff. why doc, that fellow
there lying in bed ate two pounds OF porter
house steak with trimmings, in less than
fifteen minutes. and If you can diagnose
his trouble as anything but hasty consump-
ton. then you surely must not know your
business

Fielder Jones Scores One.

For a young man and one who is in
trusted with the care Of another mans
property. Fielder Jones plays them as close
as Russell Sage used to do when he was In
business.
Nothing is allowed to go to waste around
Jones, and, no matter how old or worn a
ball is. Jones makes all of his crowd give
an accounting for each leather pellet
When the Chicagos were last In Wash
ington young Robe was trying his best to
knock the off hopelessly ragged
ball, when Jones called his attention to the
fact that the ball could be sent back to
the factory and a new cover could be put
on 1t.

How Al Orth Explained It.

When Dave Altizer joined the Washington
team at New York last spring in the first
game he played in the big league he had
run-in with the scrappy little Mr.. Elber-
field, and Davy showed his gameness by
the ready manner in which he started to
mix it with New Yorks shortstop.
The only thing that stopped the fist play
between the two infielders was the quick
work of Jake Stahl, who swung on to AL
tzer with a regular hammerlock hold.
Some of the New York players caught the
doughty Elberfeld, and so the two stars
could do naught but express their caustic
opinions of each other in language that
was penetrating. not to say picturesque

forgotten the incident and were engaged In

CHESHIRE Is simply wonder in the devour-

mates. particularly to Griffith who for

What They Made of Kittredge.

Malachi Kittredge all through his base
| ball career was forever trying to invest his
money in some schemes enterprises
where the returns would be large.
Most base ball players try to get rich
quick by wagering their money at the race
track, but this was one of the games which
never appealed much to Kit.
He did take flyer once in stocks when
he was a member of Anson's Chicago team.
At this time Hutchinson the pitcher was
supposed to stand in with some prominent
broker, who gave him sure thing tips. and
after kittredge had seen the pitcher come
out ahead several times On the deals he de-
termined to play the stocks himself. He
started in with $500. but before the day
was over tine sturdy little catcher was
broke and In no envab!e frame of mind
when he showed up at the hotel that night
He told Arson what he had been doing
