PETERSBURG VA, Oct. 20.--The
first Of the new crop Of Spanish pea
nuts was offered for sale on this mar
ket last Saturday by Charles $. Hobbs,
of Prince George county. They were

per bushel, just SO cents per hushel
more than the market opened at last
season. II is said that not more than
two-thirds of a crop OF Spanish nuts
will be made this season. owing to the

BEAN BALL RETIRES KID
ELBERFELD FOR LENGTHY
PERIOD OF TWO WEEKS
The Blow From Pitcher Breckenridge Landed Same Spot
Former Injury and Rendered Kid Dizzy
Weakened By Eberfeds Absence Lookous Experience Fall
Elston Out With Charley Horse-Kid Hopes to
Play This Week

Chattanooga, July 5.--(Special.)- )-The
continued absence of Elberfeld, who
has never appeared at the shortfield
position since he was struck by a bean
ball from Brackenridge's hands in tho
last series with the Vols, more than
two weeks ago, is the one real worry
of the local burg at present, base
ballically speaking. Although urged by
the local athletes and fandom in gen
eral, Elberfeld still refuses to get back
into harness. The Kid states that the
blow which he received upon the spot
where a former injury occurred still
affects him to such an extent that his
work would be erratic and porous. He
feels dizzy when he bends over.
Williams, who is subbing for the
'Noogans' pilot is fielding in grand
form, but Elberfeld's hitting is being
sorely missed, especially in view of the
fact that Elston cannot play regular
" because of a severe Charley horse"
which he received at Mobile. The alb

sence of these two willows from the
fray weakens the offensive strength of
the Lookouts, which has never been any
too formidable, at least 25 per cent.
The disaster met with in Montgom-
cry when three straight games were
dropped to the Dobbers was due to
nothing more than the failure to hit
at even conservative figure The same
failing was in evidence at both New
Orleans and Mobile. but the phenom-
enal work of the hurling staff carried
the club through with five straight
wins. At Montgomery. however, the
hurlers weakened under the strain, just
as was to be expected
The Lookouts expect to hold their
own at home during the next two
weeks when they entertain the clubs
of the southern half and in fact to cut
down still more the lead of the club
which are leading them in their pres
ent crippled condition. 1t is difficult
to concede the Noogans a chance for
the rag unless Elberfeld and Elston are
working regularly when the club hits
the road for its second hike.

Barons Linger Around 500 Mark

New York, July 6.-The outstanding
feature of the baseball week just end
ed was the rise of the New york clup
to leadership in the National league
race. The seven-day period, with Its
heavy schedule including the Fourth S
double headers, was a history making
one in many respects. Coineident with
the upward leap of the Giants came the
fall of the Philadelphias, who dropped
from first position for the first time
since early In the season and of the
Brooklyns, whose pennant aspirations
met a serious setback through drub-
bings by Boston and New York. Chi
cago came up with a rush. The Giant
charge. however. stands out as per-
haps the most significant happening
of the baseball year SO far. Their
weeks record of seven games won and
none lost. rounded out an unbrok en-
string of II straight. They have won
26 out or their last 80. Philadelphia s
pitching staff is showing the predicted
effect of the strain of keeping the club
at the top with Alexander and Seaton
as the only really dependable mem
ebrs

almost the same from one week to an
other. Some weeks the Athletics play

Long and Welchonce May
Smash Singing Records


Atlanta. July -(Special.)-Two Atlanta
players have excellent opportunities to es-
tablsh records for the league in run get
ting and hitting If they can maintain
their present clip.
Including Saturdays game with New
Orleans, Tommy Long, the local right
fielder. had crossed the pan 90 times in
70 games. Figuring that there are 60
more games to play including postpone
ments, if Long maintains this clip for the
remainder of the season he will score 10s
runs for the season.
The record for scoring runs was made
by Outfielder Hill of the Nashville team in
the season OF 1902. He crossed the plate
80 times, and his record has never been
beaten. The nearest it was approached

was by Pratt of Montgomery in 1911. He
tailed 96 runs.
Harry Welchonce, the Crackers center
fielder, who leads the league in the num-
ber Of hits made, has a chance TO break
the league mark for the season in this
respect. Including Saturdays game with
New Orleans, Welehonee had bingled
safely 104 times, If he continues at this
clip for the remainder of the season he
will register 1888 hits for the entire cam
paign.
The present league record is l9l hits,
made by Reusman, then of Shreveport, in
the season of 1901 SO it will be seen that
Welchonce has to do but little better than
his present stride to surpass that mark.
Smith, the Crackers third sacker, has
tailed "a runs in rs games. At his pres
ent clip he can tie Hills record for the
season.
