astonished when q small ooy came into

Dear Mr.. Moran-I am sending back
this half filled bottle with Billy. We
got it at your store few days ago, as
,pa was sick. He took five teaspoonfuls
of the medicine and while it made him
|Ficker still he soon got better and we
thought as we did not use it all you
might give us back 25 cents which is
just half what we paid for it, and that
you could sell it to some one else"
Day before yesterday a woman sent
in her little girl with peculiar. message
which was read and enjoyed. It read:

BUSH HAS EDGE ON BARRY
New System of Computing Aver
ages FavOrs Detroit Star.
HOWE ORIGINATES METHOD
Official Statistician of American
League Offers Novel
Proposition.

! The much discussed question az to who
| is the better shortstop. Owen Bush, or tnr
Detroit Tigers. or Jack Barry, Of the Phila'
| delphia Athletics. has been settled by Irving
NJ Howe the official statistician OF the
| American League. according TO q new sys-
TEN Of reckoning averages which he has
devised Giving a player niche in the
hall of fame under the present method has
proved A joke, in the opinion of Howe. VINO
has compiled the official figures for the
Younger organization for several years.
| Under the present method fielding aver
ages are computed on the basis Of accept
ed chances as compared to the total
chances. To determine the average the ac-
cepted chances are divided by the total
chances. which include errors, puts outs and
assists. Howe would grade players &C
cording to the number OF accepted chances
per game and by comparison rate them
more nearly according to their ability, ne
asserts.
Bush played in $50 games last season
and handled 92S chances perfectly. making
his average 1-6 per game. Barry played
| in l27 games and handled 652 chances per
fectly for an average of II per game. but
under the present method OF computing the
! figures Barry Is the second best shortstop
| Of the league, with a fielding record of .9i6,
while Bush is seventh, with .92l.
It has long been realized that the Detroit
shortstop covered a tremendous amount OF
territory. more perhaps than any other
intielder in the big leagues. He reaches
hard grounders that other players miss
by foot or more. His great resourceful-
ness is shown by the number Of accepted
chances which is greater than that credited
to any other player in the big leagues
Heretofore there has been no way to con
vert Bushs proves into figures for the
purpose of comparison. BY Howe's method
he would rank near the top of the list of
! shortstops. where he belongs in the opinion
| of many.
! Carrying the proposition further, Howe
/ picks out six ~ the prominent shortstops
! Of both leagues and rates them according
/ TO the system now in vogue and under his
new plan. The standing Of the six men
! under the present method is as follows:
