VICIOUS WAR ON AUTOS.

GrcRicHt IlOuIcNnrL.

PITTsBuRG, PA, August 5.-There
Is fierce ana bitter war between tho
owners Of autos In Pittsburg and the
ordinary pedestrian. So dangerous has
been the workings of the people that
the police have been appealed to TO
assist In running down mlscreants who
are endanEering the life and limbs Of
auto owners, The entire Grant Boul-
evard, longest of all boulevards in
Pitlsburg, and the one most frequently
used by autoists, is now almost en-
tlrely deserted because Of obstructiona
which areiplaced there nightly to throw
machines over the hill. The methoda
of those who attempt the wreckings
are as finished and deliberate as those
OF practiced train wreckers, and there
have been some bad accidents
Piles Of ties and timbcrs have been
discovered at night on sharp curveg
where there was nothing for the auto
driver to do but run into or steer tI
the side, which would throw him ovc,
the hill or into stone wall. Many
bhigll-preed machines have been
wrecked, and the auto-loying public IA

WORK OF PITCHERS

Richmond Players Had Bad
Slump III Hitting During
Last Month.
PITC HERS LEAD WITH STICK

The fine work Of the Richmond
pitchers and the sharp fielding of the
Colts, rather than their batting, en-
abled the team to capture sixteen, tie
three and lose only tWffIbyye Gfa4lnnfGiss dur
ing the month of July. An average Of
game day, with four Sundays and
a day off, means five double games
during the month, and with Pitcher
Duke Carter, one OF the clubs main
stays. out Of the game since his re-
cent injury, 1t has been hard month
on the pitchers. Besides this, the box
artists of the other teams have round
ed into their midsummer form, and
all the teams are playing fast game,
with occasional lapses. The work or
the pitchers can hardly be fairly judged
by the criterion of victory, for fire.

Neither victories nor the numbers OF
hits allowed opponents IS an unerring]
test OF pitchers efficiency, and per-
haps the number OF runs scored by the
opposing team and the average made
by opponents per game Is, all things
considered, as good Il test as any.
Hobbs has the best average In point OF
runs made by opponents OF any Of tho
pitchers. The opposing teams In five
games averaged but 1.6 runs off tho
Emporia giant. Salve and Vail rank
next. the opposing teams having scored
an average OF 2.4 runs in five games
off each pitcher. Carter ranks next
the average Of runs by opponents in
seven games being 2.A3, while off Long
in four games the opposing teams av
craged 2.75 runs, and off Cassidy In
four games they averaged 80 runs.
AS will be seen from the showing
above Carter was worked oftcner than
any other pitcher, and even then he
/ was out Of the game entirely for the
last week. Next TO lin, Hobbs, Vail
| and Salye bore the brunt of the box
| work, with five games each, while Cas-.
