Team Batting,

Unlike Mudville on certain mem orable occasion when the great Casey missed his opportunity, there is bit of balm in Hartford for the loss of the championship. Dowd's men will lead the league in batting and field ing. The margin at the bat is not large, but 1t is enough. The team made a great brace at the finish but slipped up on the one game that was needed most. Waterbury is lowest in stickwork. Bridgeport finishes

Team Fielding,

Hartford has made clever record at fielding, although not the best in the league. Dowd's men have the high average of .995. New Haven in 1904 got up to .961. Both figures are pretty near the major league stand ards. But Hartford wins one record for the season, that of errorless games. The team took part in no less than twenty-seven, which beats the former record held by New Ha- ven. Bridgeport is last in fielding. where it has been all season, and those figures are eloquent of blasted hpnoq Tho racord.
