MULRONEY G|VES.OUT
AVERAGES FOR 1878
Official Figures Show Salt
Lake Leading in Pitching
and Batting.

The official batting, pitching and
fielding averages for the Union asso-
citation for the season of 1913, as COM
piled by e. G. Mulroney, the associa'
tion's president, arrived in The Trib-
une office last night. Aside from the
averages already mentioned, the club
fielding and batting averages were
given.
Only those players who participated
in ten or moro games were recorded in
the averages. The players who had
the highest averages for batting and
pitching and those who were highest
for the fielding positions are as fol-
lows;
Batting-Roberts, Missoula, 430, and
Huelsman, Salt Lake, 1922
Pitching-Gaut, Salt Lake, won 8
and lost l; per cent, S33; and Morgan,
Salt Lake, won 26 and lost 10, per cent,
1872.
First baseman-Woolums, Ogden. oS7.
Second baseman- -Sincr, Great Falls,
955.
Third baseman-Toner, Great Falls,
954,
sohtstops- -Oriet, Butte, 974 in rs
games, and Pendleton, Salt Lake, GAL
in 119 games.
Outfielders-Tobin, Missoula, with
95s, who made the highest average in
moro than 100 games. Several others
were higher than Tobin, who played in
fewer games
Dresser Is High.
Pitchers-Dressen, Salt Lake, fielded
1000 with 26 putouts and 46 assists.
This was the best fielding perform
anco in the league.
Catchers : Blankenship, Missoula,
1000 in 16 games and Weaver, Great
Falls, 990 in "a games.
Club batting-Salt Lake, 311; club
fielding, Helena, 966.
Although tho averages are official
for the league and they were supposed
to have been kept correctly, they are
in many instances contradictory. For
example, the president s averages for
tho outfielders gives Kelley, Great
Falls, putouts, 1855, assists and er.
rors l9, for q per cent of $50. Follow
ing Kelley is Murray of Ogden-Helena,
who made S37 putouts, % assists and
IL errors Tor per cent of 951. This,
RS can be found from compiling the two
averages, is incorrect. 1t Is evident
that Murray, with considerably larger
number Of both putouts and assists
than Kelley, and the same number of
srrors, should register higher percent
age. The average for Kelley, accord
ng to his putouts, assists and errors
should be 900.
The above is an instance, and was
discovered incidentally when the fig
lres were received last night. More
srrors are easily to be detected.
