THE AVERAGES
ISSUED BY
 SID CHALLENGER
Official State Averages With Some Corrections Made as.Regards
 Our Pitchers.

Sid Challenger, the state official scorer of Bridgeport, has issued the following records for the players in the league up to Saturday night if- elusive. Three of the Waterbury twirlers are given the wrong stand ing and in the report given below the Democrat will give the state official standing and the correct standing of the local pitchers. The following are the records:
 Jimmy O'Rourke's batting was a big thing in the league record of stick work and his clubmate, Hi Ladd, was also star performer. Jimmy not only passed the century mark in hitting, but he worked into the se- lect 300 class. Ladd jumped up into second place and is now only four points behind Rising. Ladd has IF safe drives. while Rising has 112. Jimmy has put on 105. There are several stickers near the century mark. Holyoke has three and Nor wich two. Joe Connor still leads nominally, but Rising tLe rightful premier. Joe has .373 for 16 games, while Rising has 1884 for 87 games. Here Is the list:

EUNDIN DOING
 GOOD WORK
Will Return to Hartford Later ip the Season When Sport Will
 Be Revived.

Hartford, Aug. 5.-Hjalmar Lun> din is making permanent headquart> CTS until fall at the Hotel Kung Carls the principal hotel in Stockholm. In a letter written on July 23 he says:
 ''I had my first match here last Sunday afternoon. defeated Emil Bau of Germany. We had an attends ance of over 5000 and much interest was shown. We wrestled at catch- as-catch-can style and defeated him in fifteen and a half minutes. The wrestlers here are not as good at catch-as-catch-can as at Graceo-Ro- man. am matched with Beck Olsen for next Sunday afternoon and wo will wrestle in the Graceo- Roman style as he will not have anything to do with the catch-as-catch-can game Olsen weighs seventy pounds more than I do and is in good shape. 1 ex- pect to have my hands full as friends tell me that the giant is taking the best of care of himself and is hard as nails. Fritz Hanson is doing lne here. He has wrestled a number of good men and has won all of his matches. Fritz would like to wrestIe E. J. o'connell of New Ha- ven when we return to Hartford in the fall Hanson's quick style of pinning an oponent down fin short time has made big hit in Sweden and he Is a great favorfte. Hanson and O'Connell were nearly matched several times but something pre- vented their coming together"
 Mir Lundin intends to make his headquarters here this winter and will probably pull of a number of matches. Manager Anderson's new- est protege. Pierson, will also be here In the fall and a match may be ar ranged between the two giants If Lundin beats Beck Olsen it will ns quite a feather in his cap as Beck is regarded as a good one.
 E ]. O'Connell was seen Saturday before LundIn's letter was received. He said last winter that he would ba glad to meet Hanson. He said Safur- day that he would not go to Cornell university to enter the law scbooI and become the grappiIng instructor until about the middle Of September and before ke left New Haven ks would like snuther chance at Charles Olson of fhis citT. olson broke awsT from his manager, Alfred Andsrzoz> before ths is<t ssason cioes1-

TURNED DOWN OFFER.
Why Tommy Corcoran Decided t
 Play With Pennsylvania Team.

The New Haven Leader says: Tommy Corcoran, the former New York National second baseman. whom Manager Danaher was after, has de- cided to finish out the season with the Uniontown, Pat. club, of the P. O. M. league, as the manager of that club offered him the princely salary of $500 and all expenses for his six six weeks work.
 Manager Danaher made Corcoran a fine offer, higher than any club in the league is paying an individual player Corcoran. who is the broth CT of Phil Corcoran, the New Haven twirler, expressed himself as willing to play in New Haven and stated that had he not committed himself to the Uniontown offer, he would be glad to accept Manager Danaher's terms.
 It appears that the Uniontown team is backed by several million aires who spare no expense in secur- ing ball players.

"Cy" Miller of Springfield is the winning pitcher of the Connecticut league to date. He has a percentage of victories up around .S33, having lost only three games out of eighteen in which he has officiated. It has not been luck that has won for the tall twirler, for the record shows that the percentage of safe hits to times at the bat of his serves is only .192, remarkably low average. In the games that he has lost 1t has been his wildness that was damaging, but he has also won several contests, in which he was liberal with the pass, in one game no less than nine. in another seven. But the other fel- lows have found 1t tough job trying to travel the circuit on "Cy," the average tallies per game being less than three. He is Springfield's star twirler this year. despite the fine work of the great Hess.
 Waller is Bridgeport's best twirl- CT. as everybody knows. With a los- ing team he has won IT out of 3l games and has pitched more than any other curve dispenser in the league. Wilson of Hartford comes next with 27 games. of which ls were victories. the largest number of any one twirler. Here is the list of those who have pitched in eight or more games:
