Eight straight for the Brooklyns
and the last four from the league lead
ers.

his normal hitting average now that

ly, in the 800 class and the Red Sox

week
''Doc" Manser continues to pitch
good ball for the Springfield Colo
malls. He won a thinning game yes
terday
Do not be surprised if on Tuesday
afternoon early next month a Twin
State league game is played in Brat
tleboro.
On July IL the Braves occupy the
cellar position, but there is no such
distance to the league leadership
ahead of them us was the case year
ago.
"Jack' Ness, Oakland s first base
man in the Pacific Coast league, hit
safely in the last 40 consecutive games
played by him, equalling Ty Cobb s
world S record.
Marty O'Toole waited until the
Pirates released him to Columbus be
fore pitching the first no-hit game of
his career. Perhaps he was saving his
arm all the time.
Says the Springfield Republican,:
''Things are not very. rosy up in the
Twin State league, according to re-
ports Fans up in that section are not
turning out in quantities large enough
to make the club owenrs happy.
Two of the courts of Foresters Of
Springfield Mass, are to conduct a
fourth annual Springfield day at Bos
ton Saturday, July "a. The party will
go in one or two special trains and
will attend the Braves-Cubs game aud
cheer for Meanwhile.
According to averages compiled by
the Twin State league secretary, Good
ridge of Bellows Falls leads the league
in hitting with an average of .4S4 for
eight games. O'Hara is 10th with
.321, Dixie 10th with Isl and Johns
ton Both with 1872.
Maisel of the Brewers has a batting
average of .307, which places him 18th
in the American league, has scored 80
runs, which makes him fourth in that
department and has stolen 81 bases,
being second to the great Tyrus. Be
sides that, he fields the hot corner IN
regular big league style.
The National league win not make
any attempt to get rid of the lOng-term
contracts held by high salaried players
in that circuit. Such was the state
ment of President Tener of the older
organization, and it put a quick stop
to a story which had started. He said
that the plan had never been discussed
either formally or informally, and that
the story was both untrue and Unfair.
Jean Dale, CINCINNATI leading
pitcher. can thank Charley Doom that
he is still a big Lacquer. At the spring
| training camp Dale showed to less adj
vantage than did any of the others.
Added to this the fact that the Reds
would have to pay Montreal $1,000 if
he was kept, made it appear very
dubious that he would stick along.
Doom saw quality in the rough, how
ever, and persuaded Herzog to keep
him.
In an interview before the season
opened. Manager Griffith of the Wash
ington team said considerable about his
pitching staff and put cash value on
each member He thought that in m
open market Walter Johnson would
bring 100000; Shaw $4,000, Boehlina
ISIS, 900, Ayers $4,000 Bentley $4,000
Harper 10000, Gallia $4,000, Enge
s., 900, and Hopper $4,000. 'sThe OLE
Fox probably would revise some OF
those estimates now.
