HOW THEY STAND

To prevent anyone from saying that
the Athletics have won the American
league pennant through luck or some
other kind of huke, Il might be well
10 call attention 70 the superiority of
the Mackmen as shown by the figures.
Tho Athletics lead in team batting and
are tied with the Maps In team folding
The team batting percentage is .2ss
The fielding percentage Is .963. In the
individual batting records seven of the
Athletics are shown In the list with
averages OF go or better, fve of which
are hitting better than 800
on the bases Macks mon also show
TO advantage but not SO prominently
as in hitting or fielding. Eddie Collins
leads In base stealing while in run
getting three men-l3aker. Oldring and
Collins,-are among the first 10.
During Cohbs lay off Liable has
slumped in his hitting. dropping IL
points during the week. The 800 list
has dwindled to eight Karger. Larry
Gardner and koestner dropping from
the heavy hitting list the past week
Jim Delel1anty and Hal Chase are
closely following the 800 hitters with
2s3. while Easterly Is hitting go
Jake Stahl and Birdie cree couldn't
hold the pace and dropped from the
list OF leading sluggcrs. They were re-
placed by Baker. and L. Gardner.
Lajole leads I'm the total number Of
bases he has taken on his hits. while
in extra base hits Cobb still leads
McGraw converted Snodgrass into
the leading batter OF the National
league by making an outnelder out
of him. MCGraw might do the same
with Pitcher Crandall who just now
In at the apex OF batting quality i'm
the National Crandalis figures are
,e45 for 36 games. Hitting like that
or even 40 below for a whole season
would aid the Giants somewhat. How
ever. Crandall is pitching mighty
roseate ball. Muggsy may figure he is
worth as much 20 him in this
capacity.
Snodgrass remains leader OF the
regular stiCkers but Win Campbell.
Plttsburger has peram bulstod to
within three points OF his average. The
relative figures are now .33S and
.S35
Magee and Holman are having a
sWatting contest all their own. They
are at present tied AZ 1921. Magee has
been IN the greater number of games.
Wagner continues to plod advan-
taEeously enough TO gain him an esti-
mate Of .321
Three pitchers I'm Lynchs league

number. Byrne has made a. doubles
and Mike Mitchell is triples.
