cording to the official averages issued
by Secretary Mercy yesterday
Leroy of the New York Highlanders
is a technical leader with clean per-
centage for two games won. But Crit

games altogether, was taken out or
two of them and his work does not
compare with that of the seasons cam
paigners. Plank and White.
The Athletic sOu'paw secured one
more victory than COmiskey's left
handler. both losing six games. Plank
finished every game he started while
White was taken out twice during the
season. Joss of Cleveland ranked
third of the regulars and was the best
right handler in the league. Owen and
Altrock of the Sox are near the top OF
the list, the former getting a percent
age of .629 and the latter .606. All OF
the Sox regulars won half or more
than half their games. Frank Smith
ranking lowest of the staff with an
even break in ten games.
Walsh's Percentage Only .567.
Walsh. whose sensational perform

erages were ready for announcement
some time ago. but were omitted at
the time the batting and fielding fig
ures were issued. The oversight was
not discovered until later and Secre-
tary Mercy began a sleuth-like per-
Torrance to discover the missing
dope After running down several
promising clews without success, he
discovered the averages in his own
desk, where the excitement of the
annual meeting and the paternal cares
of the secretary enabled them to hide
themselves successfully in the interval.

So as to have both hands free, she put
her muff on the picket OF nearby
fence and thoughtlessly left the roll of
bills partly sticking out. 1t took
longer than she expected to get the
garter where it would stay, and the
approaching man came up before she
had finished.
She said she observed the stranger
approach pretty closely to her, but
supposed that he was trying to rubber
at the diamond in her garter. When
she finished her job she took her muff
ran after the man. but he sprinted
faster and escaped.

ries. He went home saying that he
would come back to work in the after

He explains that his church is a re

second century of the Christian era.
Every member must be highly cult

The patriarch told the correspon-
dent, that while playing with pee
toral cross adorned with a serpent and
stars, that in ten years he expected to
have 10000 diciples, all sworn to re-
store the ancient mysteries of uncor-
rupted Christianity. Then he will ask
the government to turn over to them
the churches once used by the Cath
