kAWS' SHOWING LOW,
Down the List in Hitting, Stealing
Bases and Sacrifices

The secret of the failure of the Kaws
to get higher in the percentage col
umn is explained by a glance at the
batting average and the average of the
pitchers. The Kaws are batting in
seventh place with a percentage of
zoo. The Wichita team is the only
one with smaller percentage.
The Kaws are fifth in fielding and
are followed by Denver, Sioux City and
Wichita in their respective order.
The Kaws have but two men in the
regular batting order who are hitting
IN the 300 class One of these is Nc
Larry and the other is the catcher.
Both catchers are in this class but
only one of them is in the game at
the same time. Gear had dropped to

dropped to .262, Forsythe is .277 and

Foster made an enviable record for
the Senators last year, batting for a
mark of .2S5 and fielding 800. In
addition the peppery little third base
man is long on the gray matter, which
is something to particularly delight
the heart of the foxy leader, himself
a scientific player of no mean degree.
F ster's entry into the game means
that something will have to be done
about Frank LaPorte, who, it may be
added. has been playing a wonderful
game a t the difficult corner. 1t is al
most certain, however, that Griffith
will place him somewhere, as he is
too valuable a man to daily on the

The cleaning process described NAV
brighten the furniture sufficiently q
that no additional stain or paint /,

be perfect. but it will be sufficient,
good to make the time saved Seem
worth while. Most porch furniture

Many decorators now give willow
furniture a dull instead of shiny

and allow the first coat to dry befoN

If the stain is not dark enough when

be put on without danger of cloud
