GANDlL LEADS COAST
LEAGUE PERFORMERS
Sacramento First Baseman Well at
Top for Weeks Series In Both
Batting and Fleldlng-Plays
Erroress Ball

The batting and fielding averages of
the last series compiled by Leo Ro.
Moriarty show that the Angels took
a big slump in the Portland series,
being unable to show anything in bat
ting. The records show a remarkable
performance on the part of Gandll, the
big Sacramento first baseman, who not
only leads the coast league in batting,
but heads the list of fielding as well.
Gandil played out the series on first
base without an error, accepting sixty
two chances and handling every one
perfectly. In stick work he is easily
the leader, having made eleven hits
out of twenty-eight times at bat, thus
standing at 1893 for the week, just un-
der the 400 mark. Murphy of Oak
land is second with a standing Of .S45,
and Speas of Portland is third with
.304,
Portland stands at the top in the
team batting averages, with .231; oak
land running second with .230 and
Vernon, the tail-enders, third. with .227.
Los Angeles is last on the list, making
only 1853. In fielding Sacramento leads
the team totals, having an average of
1865, and Vernon is second, only one
point behind, with .964 This shows two
things: That the best ball of the week
was played in Los Angeles between
Vernon and Sacramento, and that the
taii-end teams, notably Oakland, took
a big jump and played superior ball,
while the leaders fell correspondingly.
The complete results, including Sun
days double-header, but not yester-
days game:

Mike Schreck after Schreck had pun
ished him severely.
Right and left uppercuts to the jaw

Hart was the aggressor in the first
round and Schreck got in but one tell
ing blow. The round was about even.
Hart opened fiercely in the second
and sent a right and left to Schreck's
jaw, and then Schreck seemed to
awaken and sent terrific left uppercuts
to his opponents jaw in rapid fire or
der.
Hart appeared weok when he entered
for the third round, and Schreck pun
meled him badly. Hart struck one
blow and was weak when the gong
sounded.
When Hart entered in the fourth It
was seen the fight could not go long.
Schreck continued with fast uppercuts
to the jaw and body blows, and as
Hart was about to fall his seconds

BY A. E. DUNNING

Heavyweight Jim Barry, late Of Chi
cago, has transferred his allegiance to
the City of the Angels. Henceforth no
place on earth will look so good to the
husky protege Of John L. Sullivan as
will the southern metropolis. Barry
has returned to Los Angeles in state
of extreme delight at being at last To-
Gated in the land of his desire. Hence
forth, be it repeated the Angel city
will claim Barry for it's own, since to
put it in Jim's rough but Characters
tic phraseology, This town looks good
to me; I'm here to stay, and l won't
ever again get far away for long"
Barry is now cozily established at his
quarters at the East Side Athletic
club, where Captain McCrae rules SUI
preme. He has installed a complete
training camp and during the time he
is awaiting and preparing for battle
at Maud Junction, big Jim will keep
up this outfit Afterward-well It's
looking into the future pretty much,
but afterward, Barry has plans which
stretch far above the level of the regu-
lation type of the fighting man. Barry
intends to settle down like an ordinary
citizen. He plans to have a home, and
probably before the eastern Indian
summer comes, Jim will send for his
mother to come west and preside over
his household. There are also other
plans. but-well, some things are not
