.347. Dode Criss still stays at the top,
having an average of 1915 as a pinch
hitter
one pleasing result to fans in st.
Louis is that young AL Schweitzer, the
crippled star of the Browns, raised his
average bit this week in the little
that he played with the Browns. He
now stands at 1922, which, outside OF
Criss, is second best IL the league. TO
all indications this boy would crowd
further on the Great Cobb were he in
the game constantly.
Rossman of Detroit continues to
stick we'll up to the top, being third
with mark of .817, which is a. bit
lower than his average of week ago.
George Stone, the former champion,
upon whom the st. Louis fans base
such great hope, has fallen further
down and is now about sixteenth in
the league, eith mark Of .2S3, this
being three points lower than he was
last week.
The National league seems weaker in
hitting. Outside of Wagner and Dom
lin, the regulars are all below the 300
mark. Wagner is we'll at the top and
there seems but little chance of the
Giants captain catching UP with him.
Wagner has a mark of 1892, while Dom
lin has but .32O. Wedged In between
them is Zimmerman of the Chicago
team, a substitute who has been in
but q few games.
Jack Murray is still the leader of the
Cardinals and has raised his average
three points during the past week, 1t
now being at .272. The other members
of the st. Louis team are well down
in the list, though Konetchy shows
signs OF coming UP.
After having been troubled with a
sore leg for two months, most of which
time he was kept out of the game, Al
Schweitzer went to a washington spe-
cialist for osteopathic treatment and 1t
was found that Schweitzer's injury was
not sciatic nerve affection, but a
dislocation of the hip bone.
An operation, bloodless, and lasting
five minutes, restored the joint to the
proper place, and it is believed now
that he will be ready to play shortly.
He might have gone for weeks without
the real cause of the trouble being
known, but for Trainer Quirk' s
thoughtfulness. This, too, after an x
ray expert had said there was little
the matter with Sohweitzer.
Quirk, according to the players, has
kept them from going stale long be-
fore. They think he can restore them
even now with a weeks work. to that
snap and aggressiveness which won
them to the front early in the race.

DEN OF HORROR

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 25.--As a
result of the visit of Secretary M. j.
White Of the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children society yesterday to the
"baby farm" conducted by Mrs. Seven
cakes, eighteen pallid tots, nine of
them too young to walk, were removed
from the farm and scattered through
the various charitable institutions of
the city.
The conditions at the farm" were
terrible, and the society officer at once
ordered the place closed, as 1t was so
squalid as to endanger the health of
the children.
Nearly all of the children were suf-
fering from throat and skin disorders.
The Inspector found the nine babies
were huddled in a room that was al
most without light and air, sleeping in
dirty and unhealthy bedding, thrust
into baskets.
In the five remaining rooms adults
and nine older children were living and
the same filthy conditions obtained
everywhere.
Mrs. Sevenoaks had no record Of the
names or residences of the parents of
her charges and had not gone through
the formality of securing the consent
of the city before beginning her busi-

stage running between Cody and

robbed by a single highwayman, who
received as q reward for his efforts
an amount estimated at $500.
Posses are being organized in Red
Lodge, Cody and Meetetz to take up
the bandits trail.
Because of the rough nature of the
country little hope is entertained for
his capture.
There is a possibility that the man
who did this job is the same man who
yesterday held up the sixteen coaches
in Yellowstone park, but this Is
doubted.
The same tactics, however, were fol-
lowed, the passengers and driver being
compelled at the rifle of arevolver to de-
posit their valuables at point near the
road, and they were afterwards gath
cred up by the desperado.
The bandit is described as a man of
