From the Angle Of the Bug
 By ASA RoINTREE. JR.

by another team, as was the case this time.
 Base stealers are getting a poor start in the majors this year and the begging proclivities of the packstops seem to be on the ascendency. Usu- ally the big league speed merchants set orr to flying start and during the Ilrst month of the season gather together neat collection of purloined SACKS. The time, however, conditions are reversed. and 1t now the catchers who are collecting scalps. Max Carey, the speedy Pirate who last season headed National league pilferers. is again in the vanguard this year. hut has only seven bases recorded to his credit. No other player in the older organization reached that figure LID until last Wednesday, according to semi-official figures.
 Conditions in the American are little better. Terry Turner of the Maps tops the list with Il to his credit while in the Federal the leader-Dolan Me Kechnie-has amassed only six.
 President Baugh of the local club states one of the things that impressed him most while witnessing major league games on his trip north re- gently was the begging of the catch CTS. Time and time again. states the Baron proxy, "would-be stealers got off to good time and seemly had the base stolen, but the catchers nearly always beat them there with the ball. One time Jimmy Johnston got off to perfect start and it seemed to me, as if he was running faster than he ever did while with Birming- ham, but the opposing catcher, Gibson of the Pirates, killed him off easily"
 Major league batting still is above normal and many players are sporting averages that are far in excess to their regular stride. Artie Phelan and Beals Becker are leading the National with figures of .500, while Magee and Gathers are also well above the 400 mark.
 Jackson is first in the American with All. Wood and Crawford are not far behind with averages, better than 400. Figures of batting leaders in the Federal and American association are also swelled
 Because Ty Cobb was resting in thir- ty-eighth place among the American league batters last week some were bemoaning the fact that the Georgia Peach had lost his batting eye. But from the way the Georgian has been going since then there seems to be nothing defective in his vision. Cobb boosted his average from .240 to .307 and now ranks thirteenth.
