MAY NOT GET THE
AVERAGES Ar ALL
Newspapers That Fail ID Keep Faith
With President Sexton Likely
to BE Disciplined.

President NJ. Fl. Sexton Of The Three.
Eye league made a statement this
rorning which viii be of considerable
interest to the newspapers throughout
the circuit and also to the presidents
OF The different clubs. The statement
las to do with the publishing of the
batting and fielding averages which
have been given out by the presiden;
cnce each month. He always sent
them out to the club presidents sew
Gal days in advance and with them
the request that they be given to the
newspapers TO be printed on a certain
day The local newspapers have re-
sEeeted the wishes of the president on
eIery, occasion. Most of the other
rapers in the league have done the
same. but every. time averages have
been sent out, some; paper has violated
the trust and as the result those
papers which respected the wishes of
averages after they had already been
published in some other paper The
result is that there has been some little
il. feeling raised and Mr.. Sexton
states that if it occurs again and any
papers suffer because of having re-
spected his wishes. he will simply
cease TO furnish the clubs in the city
where the offense is committed with
the averages and the energetic news
naper men who were so quick to take
advantage will have the pleasure CT
clipping them from other papers IN
stead of being able TO have them sim
rlraneously. The rules of the league
do not require the president to fur
n,sh the averages TO the clubs and If
tiIs kindness is not appreciated he will
rot trouble himself about being 20
KIND. 1t is now up to the club pres
ide hts TO see that the papers in their
cities play square if they want the Off
cal averages.

ingly buoyant condition Investment in

are being eagerly bought at these figures.
Many thousands OF dollars are invested
in them every week, showing that much
surplus money is available in Washington
