"A ern League averages!! Bob
Spade has the highest average
of an Eastern League player, while
RUDE Waddell has the lowest of any
Tiger. They both came to Newark at
the same time, but neither can be
classed as a regular. Spade got his
goodly mark of 1915 mainly through his
ability as a pinch hitter during the last
few days of the season. Waddell had
a mark of .107.
Jack Kelly, who batted over 300 most
of the season, Is the leading Newarker
according to the official averages re-
Leased for publication today. Johnny
slammed the pellet for .290, but If
timely hitting were taken into consider
alton, the Newark outflelder would be
away above the 800 mark. Johnny did
not get away with his usual stunt of
leading the league In two-baggers, but
he was tied with Delehanty, of Toronto,
for the honors in this respect. Each
man made twenty-nin two-sack soaks.

Toronto led In team batting, with a
mark Of .254. Baltimore came next,

Wyatt Lees 1855 in 70 games was a
creditable showing.
Jake Gettman came down a bit. He
batted .26s for 1872 games.

a pitcher, when 1t is taken into con-
