BOXING ATHLETICS
Batting and Fielding Averages
of Coast League Teams TO Date

quite a feat in itself for a pitcher to
make eighteen putouts and III assists
without a miscue.
The team averages show San Fran
cisco to lead in batting with an aver
age of .239 San Francisco and Los
Angeles and Sacramento are tied for
first honors in fielding, the three teams
having averages of 1857. Sacramento
is second in batting, with an average
of 236. Portland is third in batting,
with an average of 231. and fourth in
fielding, with an average of $50. Los
Angeles and Oakland have the same
batting averages, .230, while Oakland
is fifth in fielding. with an average of
.947. Vernon Is sixth i'm both batting
and fielding, with batting average of
.221 and a fielding average of .945.
Frisco has scored the greatest num-
Der of runs-661. Portland is second,
with GIL. Los Angeles third, with 554.
Sacramento fourth, with 545. Oakland
fifth, with 507. Vernon sixth, with 479.
Have you observed that the order in
which the teams now stand in batting
and fielding and scoring runs is almost
exactly the same as their relative
standing now is in percentage of games
won and lost?
Following are the complete batting
and fielding averages of the 1853 men
that have played in the Pacific Coast
league during the present season.
These averages are for games played
up to and including the double-headers
OF Sunday Sept. 10;
Los Angeles herald., 1909-09-26

According to the following unofficial
averages, compiled by Leo r. Moriarty,
Ote johnson of Portland is the real
leader in batting of the Pacific Coast
league. There are a few regulars with
higher averages than Johnson's, but
they have not played a sufficient length
of time to entitle them to the league
leadership. After leading the league
regulars in batting throughout prac-
tically the entire season, John Beall of
the Los Angeles club has suffered a
slump in batting during the last couple
of weeks, which has decreased his per-
Centage fifteen points. During the
same length of time Johnson's average
shows an increase of thirty points,
while in the last month he has gained
fully fifty points McCredie of Port
land has gained four points during the
two weeks play, while Zeider of San
Francisco has gained two points. Nc
Credie and Zeider are now tied for
second place, one point below Johnson.
Then comes Beall, D. Lewis, Melchoir
and Gandil, with averages that vary
but one point, Martinke of Vernon
come next with an average of .280.
All Of the clubs have a representative
among the six leading batters. Pitcher
Carson of Portland is the only man
that has played throughout the season
without having an error marked
against him. Since these averages
were compiled Carson has worked in
one more game, in which he made five
assists and no errors. 1t is indeed

To Manager "Muggsie" Covert, how
ever, the father of baseball at Coyina'
is this state of perfection due When
Covert hit Covina there was as much
enthusiasm displayed over baseball as
a Salvation Army meeting. Covert
stayed with it. believing that nothing
was as good an ad for town as a
baseball team. He was backed up by
the business men and after several
years endeavor succeeded in getting
together the. best amateur nine OF
Southern California del Sur. Prom
inent among the Covina fans who nave
contributed largely toward the team
success are Garry Layman ana W, A.
Whitaker. to both of whom credit is
due for the great local interest which
has been manifested in the nine's out

to be prominent travelling man
from Denver, thought that he was
about to be held up Friday about
midnight. and it may have been that
he was. In any event the would-be
holdup was knocked to the ground
and stepped on by the travelling man.
The affair occurred in front OF the
Depot cafe. The travelling man was
on his way to the depot and had
about arrived there when he heard
hurried steps behind him. A man
had stepped behind him and was
about to strike him down when the
travelling man hit him full in the
face. knocking him to the ground

II you have waited till the last

your gifts here.
one year lady, who has large
circle OF relatives and friends, plan
ned to be economical and spend one
day in Denver and get her Christmas
gifts cheap. She bought her ticket,
went on an early train, and was jos
tied, jammed and stepped upon by a
merciless throng for ten weary hours.
She picked up bargains, at least they
seemed bargains, for the larger the
price cards above the counter the
greater bargains they become, and
waited ages at each place for the
change from 80 or 4S cent pur-
chase. She returned on the late
train with headache which lasted
two days and tired feeling which
remained tor a week.
The results of the expedition were
spread out on bed, on two beds in
fact, and then came the task of as
signing them to the aforesaid rela-
tives and friends.
Nothing seemed quite appropriate
for any one on the list and she had
a feeling that a number of her friends
were going to wonder Just why those
gifts were perpetrated upon them.
She finally got to the last name
good old Uncle John, a retired min
lister, and found she had left, a
gauze fan, a box of blocks, a fancy
hatpin and a number of other i'm
possibilities.
She had spent more money than
usual and had dozen articles left
that she could not use and no one
else would want. The experience
was a lesson that did not need tc
