The batting averages follow

ihthe averages snow that the team
is depending more on the wonderful
performances of Dal Culver in the
pitchers box than on the ability OF the
men to hit the ball at the right time
Culver has only twirled three games
this season but in those games he
showed brand of pitching that has
scarcely been equalled in the big
leagues. In his first game he struck
out thirteen men and allowed three
hits, two OF which were very scratchy.
In his second game he again struck
out thirteen men, but this time not a
hit was registered by the opposition.
and only one man got beyond second
base. In his third game. thirteen was
again his number OF strikeouts and
three scratch hits were gotten from
him. In this game not a ball was
knocked to the outfeld and but one
man got beyond second base from
I where he scored on a funk play
In the fielding department OF the
game the boys are not showing up the
way they should. as ten errors have
been made in the four games played
The cause Of the ten errors is not
enough practice and it is now I'D tc
Manager Stevens to make the players
turn out and practice every night and
not only when they feel like practicing
When he does this a big difference will
be seen in the team work.

player. but he has yet to achieve the
heights gained by his illustrious
brother.
Stengel, Wheats neighbor in the
Brooklyn outheld and Kansas City. is
about three years the junior Of Zach.
Stengels batting slump last year was
even worse that that of Wheat. for he
dropped from a 1916 average in 1914
to .237 in 1915. Just why the two
Kansas Cityians should have fallen
down at a time when their teammates
were going better than in years isn't
apparent. ana the Brooklyn fans are
hoping that they will redeem them
selves this year Stengel played with
Kankakee. ILL.,. Maysville, KY. Kansas
City and Aurora, ILL.,, before landing
with Brooklyn in 1912. He was sent to
Montgomery in the Southern League
to finish the 1912 season. but was
recalled by the Dodgers in 1918.

Can Zach come back?

That is a problem which is pro-
foundly agitating the baseball fans Of
Brooklyn. The Zach party referred
to. Of course. is Zachary Davis Wheat,
of Kansas City. who for some years
was the slugger-in-chief OF the Eb-
bets clan. Last season. just when the
Robins had become prominent among
those present in the pennant chase,
Zach began to go back in his stick
work. At the same time Casey Stem
gel. one of zachary's playmates in the
outer garden, also pulled off griev-
Gus slump in his batting. If Wheat
and Stengel had batted as well as IN
the previous annum, the Robins in
stead of the Phillies might have been

Saturday marked the twenty
seventh birthday of one Theodore
Gather, the former outfelder of the
Cardinals and Braves, who now wears
the spangles Of the Montreal Club of
the International League. Teddy was
an outer gardener with the Braves in
the glad year of 1914, when the liege-
men Of the Miracle Man copped the
National League pennant and the
worlds championship gonfalon. One
of Gathers playmates in Montreal is
Herb Moran. who was also with the
1914 Bostonians. Both Ted and Herb
we're i'm the international League be-
fore they attained the major league
heights. and both had also played in
the Tri-State League. Both are ma
tives Of Pennsylvania. Both were
sent to the Royals by the Bengals
Otherwise-except that both are out
felders they have never been any
thing in common.
The passing of Gather and Moran
from the Stallings outheld leaves Joe
Connolly as the last survivor of the
outer gardeners of the 1914 Braves.

to win The Federal League pennant
