League Shows Internationals Ahead In
Averages, But the Season Is Yet Young

points behind Herst In fielding, he has
figured in six more games than has the
Soldier and Is leading him 261 points
in batting. Grooch. whose fielding
average is 1 goo. has only been seen In
one game and cannot be figured as q
contestant as yet
Second Base.
Although outbatttng Medina By 100
points, Trimble does not qualify for an
all star team. owing to his ragged
fielding While Medina is only batting
.231 at present, he has been seen in as
many games as has Trim and leads IN
both putouts. assists and errors. In
addition he is doing his share OF base
running and his hitting has improved
wonderfully in the LAST few games.
Third Base
In Cano the Mexicans gain another
position on an all star team from the
present showing. He is leading the
first basemen by a large majority in
batting with an average OF ESQ and
with the highest fielding average OF all
except Rokahr. However, Cano has
figured in II games against five for
Russ and comparison Of the averages
on equal basis still leaves him In the
lead with a chance for the White roz
player to beat him out before the close
Of the season.
Although 40 points behind Chenoweth
in batting average, Caro- was chosen
for this position from the fact that his
fielding average is higher than any
other shortstop and in addition he has
been noted for using his head at all
times The tall fellow is swift and sure
and so far this season he has not been
known TO make a bad Judgment in any
Of his plays. Although not quite as
fast as Chenny. he is a good base run
ner and looks the best choice at the
present time.
Left FfeIderx.
Although Thompson Is leading the
left ffelders in batting. the writer's
choice for this place goes TO Reed,
basing his Judgment on the fact that
the Soldier has appeared in more games.
has more putouts TO his credit and is
batting above 800, and although he has
made two errors, he easily leads either
Corning or Tarango who have had
none. Thompson has not fielded near
as well as Reed and cannot be figured
against him. but If Corning continues
to play the game he is playing and i'm
proves in his batting average Reed
viii have TO look out TO maintain his
honors-
Center FieIders.
In addition to leading his opponents
in the batting column, Lopez is field
ing at 1000 and has appeared in more
games than any other man in the CEN
ter garden Pots also has more put
outs 70 his credit and is possessed OF a
strong and perfect peg From the way
the players are handling themselves at
present Pots has no formidable oppon-
ent. especially since Jacoby has been
changed to short
Right Ffeiders.
Simpson takes this position purely
through his fielding ability. The race
between Simpson and Smock was aw-
fully close, but in the eight games IN
which he has figured he has made with
in one as many putouts as has Smock
in 10 games and Is only charged with
one error against three for Smoek This
error charged TO Simpson came at a
time when the diamond was bad and
was given him on a perfect peg to
third, which bounded over the base
mans head Equalizing the number OF
games played he would still lead Smock
at the rate he is going at present. In
batting averages Simp and Smock are
both tied with 1888, and are approx
ma tely tied on fleetness Of foot
