 to Judge for Themselves.

might consistently be expected. This youngsters record in the Central Kansas league is really a wonderful one. He won 1926 per cent of his games. losing only four out of 23 games pitched. He struck out IFS men, which gives him wonderful average of eight men each game. He passed 49 men and pitched five games in which he fed his opponents goose eggs alone. His batting average was POS, which is not bad for a pitcher, and he fieded .9O6 per cent.
 Lower, the pitcher whom Manager Molesworth secured from Cincinnati and whom Clark Griffith of the Reds drafted from Omaha. in the Class A Western league also has a fine record. This twirler, last season won 20 out of g games pitched, giving him pitching average of .625 His fielding average was
 993 per cent and he stung the ball to the tune of PA per cent.
 Wagner the Binghamton, New York State league, boy. who was drafted by l the New York Americans, from whom Manager Molesworth secured him, pitched only six games last season, but he won the great majority of them and fielded perfectly a percentage of 1000 being ac- credited him. | McTigue is an amateur from Nashville and has no official record, but he comes highly recommended.
 F'leharty, Schopp. Robinson and Bauer are the old pitchers to return this sea- son and the fans know them and the color of their work in the box.
 And now as to batting averages. Judg- ing from records, McGilvray, the old rightfelder, is the champion swatsman or the local club. Mac was right up at the top of the list last season and he came very near pounding his way into the class | oaat t.s. rfe cra fOF A- son was 291 per cent Manager Moles- worth lined out hits enough last season to net him an average of PIT. Larsen swatted the sphere for an average or 1 .255. Marcan, the new second baseman, comes from Binghamton, New York state league. with an average of .255 to his credit Wagner the pitcher, registereo
 252. Smith, one of the tryouts for third base halls from Peoria, Three | league, with a record of .251 per cent with the swatstlck. Elliott, the Central association catcher treated opposing pitchers in rather severe manner, bling up an aver age of g79 per cent. Mcbride. outhelder, ha tied 262 in the Three r. league last season.
 It will thus be seen that the lineup Of the Barons for 1910 will include eight players who hit over .250 last season, and Manager Molesworth states this his team average, taxing last year iceoi No, i1 .256, the pitchers being excluded. rms is by no means bad average, and If the men can do as well this year as they did last season there Is really nothing to fear in the way of batting strength.
 In the field the Barons should not show , up to any disadvantage. The records of last season show that there are only two men on the Baron slate who felded un- der the 300 per cent mark These men are Marcan. who fielded .S69, and Larsen, who fielded .S99.
 So. if the dope in the way of official averages is worth hill of beans, Man ager Molesworth has no just cause to be fearful Of course, ball players have good years and bad years, and some times they are worse than that. and MoIesworth declares that a manager never knows where he stands until he sees his men on the field and down to hard practice. And 1t Is for this status of the season that Moley is walting
