Batting Averages (. A. (,

Ten games were clipped of the sche- dule when the directors got together in Banielson sunday afternoon. The shortening up was made necessary by the number of postponed games and the individuality of playing double headers. Beginning next Saturday the teams start the second series of the season. In view of this fact, It was decided te play only ten more of the games scheduled, rounding out a second series which will be completed on August !. After that the post poned games will be played in the regular order of their postponement. The four postponed games in the first series will till all the playing dates up to and including september 1, Labor day will be an open date and whtle all the teams will play, the games will not count in the league standings.
