BATTING AVERAGES
OF THE BIG LEAGUES
FIGURES UP TO LAST WEEK SHOW THAT HANS WAC
NER is STILL REALLY IN LEAD
AMERICAN LEAGUE AVERAGES.

Clymer. the outhelder washington secured
from Plttsburg, leads the American league by
so huge a margin in the batting averages that
sll his competitors look weary. This, of course,
is unlikely to last. but the mans record is
nevertheless a surprising evidence of the re-
markabe effect which a change of pastures
often has upon ball tosser.
Niles of st. Louis comes next in the batting,
and has a superb record, more consistent and
likely TO stick than that of the temporary lead
err The all-season star is Flick OF Cleveland
who has great record for the whole cam
paign.
st. Louis and New York now tied for the
batting leadership, the team records showing
general improvement during the week.
Setting aside few morning glories" in the
various fielding positions, the stars seem to be:
Pitchers. Joss of Cleveland; catchers. Shaw or
O'Connor; first base, Donohue second base,
LaJoie; third base, Lave Cross shortstop

SPOKANE, Wash, July 23.-Selling pools In
Spokane on horse races in this city and al
fcI eign tracks is prohibited by an ordinance
passed by the city council, which became e.
fective July 20, and as result the course al
the Spokane Interstate Fair association
grounds will be moved outside the limits
where track pools be sold under the state
law. Prosecuting Attorney Barnhart has
given an opinion that there is no law in
Washington to prevent the operation of pool
rooms outside the city limits of Spokane:
hence there is nothing to prevent the fair
association, of which Robert H. Cosgrove is
secretary and manager, from building and
conducting race track and selling pools out
side the corporate city limits.
The ordinance, which introduced by
Councilman Pratt and supported by eight OF
the nine members present, passed after a
lively debate. Several councilmen favored
shutting out only the pool rooms and permit
Councilman Brown, who was defeated for re-
election at the last election, insisted upon
the administration members carrying out theil
platform pledges of reforms. Mayor C. Her
bert Moore. elected the reform ticket will
sign the ordinance.
Spokane's two pool rooms have been in ope-
ration for years, the books getting big plays
OF eastern, middle western and coast track
events For years the keepers did not pay
fcf this privilege, but some time ago the
rooms were licensed, the owners paying 5000 g

Hans Wagner, always the real thing in the

leading the National League batsmen, accord
ing TO the latest output Of averages. Wagner
is apparently headed by couple Of morning
glory batters, but those are not to be seriously
considered as contenders with the mighty
Fittsburger. Tine National League averages,
10th individual and by teams, sank n little
during the week. and only a few lucky fell
lows are now hitting at any formidable figure.
Chicago now heads the list in team batting.
and also tops the circuit in team fielding,
while Philadelphia. though not at all percepti-
bic in the general batting leads in long hits.
Quite a number of pitchers are still on the
1OOO-mark in fielding. Real credit for work
done-all season play-would give the catching
premiership to Killing. CAMEL has the best
real record first, and Ritchey at second.
Steinfeldt leads at third, and Dahlen at short.
