Tigers Average Best.

Criss of the ST. Louis Browns leads
the American league in batting this
past season, according to the figures
announced last night, getting the big
average of .341. He only participated
in GA games, however. Ty Cobb of
the Tigers, who led in 1907, was sec
ond with 1874 He participated in $50
games and went to bat 5S1 times, as
opposed to 50 for Criss. So the real
glory belongs to Cobb for the season.
Delehanty of the Senators was third
with 81 for SO games and Sam Craw-
ford of the champion Tigers fourth
with 81. Lajoie of the Maps, for
mer leader. stood 18th with .2S9.
Dougherty stood highest among the
SoX with .21S. He ranked 21st in the
list. He had the honor of leading the

of AZ. Detroit led the league in team
batting with 264. Boston had bunch
of hitters. as. is shown by the fact that
they stood second with 247. The Sox
were seventh, .225, and the Athletics

BLOCK ATTEMPT TO

Spring Valley Gets a Lucky Touch.
down on Moline West Ends in
Match at Island City Park.

The West Ends of Moline and the
football team from Spring Valley had
a battle royal at Island City park yes
terday afternoon and the Moliners
finally bowed in defeat by the close
score of 5 to 0. A blocked punt in
the first half, did the business and
while neither side was able to gain
consistently at any stage. of the game
Spring Valley did not have to carry
the ball over the line in order to win.
After kicking off TO Moline, Spring
Valley forced the West Ends to punt
the visitors from down the state broke
through and blocked the ball and then
fell on it after it had rolled over the
line, thus securing 4 touchdown in
rather an easy fashion. From that
time on the game became a punting
duel with both sides about even.
Hartzel of Moline mixed some fatal
misjudgment of punts with some
clever running back of punts, but on
the whole had his work been little
less spectacular and little more
steady at critical times the Moline
team would probably have won the
game. While he several times re-
turned the ball long distances. he
more often failed to catch it entirely
and allowed Spring Valley to recover
it for long gains. Johnson for Moline
and Miller for Spring Valley were the
stars of the game

Ludwig Becker in Recital. - The
Chicago Daily News in speaking of
Ludwig Becker, who gives a violin re-
cital at the First Congregational
church, Moline, this evening, says:
Individual distinction centered upon
Ludwig Becker, the second concert
meister of Thomas orchestra, who chose
for his violin the alleged moderate
from Vieuxtemp's first concerto. Mr..
Becker is master of both tone and
technic, and carried through it's may
intricacies with sureness and bril-
liancy that realized most effective re-
suits in performance. The double
stopping staccato bowling and. also the
other technical accomplishments had
brilliant exposition. In response to
enthusiastic recall he returned and
had better opportunities to exploit his
power as a tonalist in Wagner's
'Albumblatt' His playing is marked
by the solid qualities of good musi-
cianship, but he has ample command
of the SNOWY effects minus manner
isms." Miss Efie Johnson of this city
will be Mr.. Becker's accompanist.
