Philadelphia, July Eff anyone
wonders why it is that the Athletics
are setting the pace in the American
League he should take a sQuint at
the batting averages of the Mack
men. They are all hitting at a cham
pionship clip.
Six of the Mackerels, five of whom
are regulars, are now in the 800
hitting division. The batting optics
of the Athletic stars are about as
good now as when the Athletics car
ried off world championships in 1910
and 1911.
Those of the House of Mack who
are hitting the pill at 800 or better
are Eddie Collins, Amos Strunk, Dan
Murphy, Stuffy McInnis, J. Franklin
Baker and RUDE OIdring. Collins
ranks fourth in the American League
list with a mark of 1865; Strunk is
fifth with 1856; Murphy seventh with
1888, and the other men mentioned
follow close behind

home of his own. They continued to
reside in the state of his nativity until
the winter of 1865, when they moved
to Clinton county, Iowa. In the spring
