He gained a few points on the Georgia Peach during the last week and is now pointing to his average of .391, smiling a cOmplacenet smile the while. Iris added hald a dozen points to his average, while Cobb stood pat on his mark of $50.
 Cobb, however, passed Joe Jackson and pulled up to within a dozen points of Sam Rice the Washington outflelder, who Is making his presence felt in the league Charley Mullen, the Yankee, Is another who is going right along Mullen is hitting .345 and is tied with Joe Jackson.

 Both matches were played in the hottest weather of the year and all the players except Washburn became thoroughly exhausted.

New York. July 31.-Negative con ditions prevailed in the stock market Itoday with dealings so light as to be devoid of actual significance. Total transactions were scarcely 225,g00 shares of which the first hour fur nished about 40 per cent. Traders had | the session entirely to themselves and | the course of prices suggested further uncertain speculative sentiment. There were few surface indications of investment inquiry, although AU- gust interest and dividend disbursc-

 Bankers and dealers in bonds re- ported fair lover counter demand for short term notes and international issues were more steady with a mark ed abatement of recent heavy offer

 Politics, crop news and tabor troubles formed the basis of languld discussion. Advices from the west and northwest told of further deterioration of wheat and corn, damage to the lat ter staple being estimated at 40 to 50 per cent. The local strike situation found slight reflection ir the heaviness of transactions.

The big catcher is making hits against all kinds of pitching and &C., Cording to the latest averages Is cloub- ing at a .397 clip. He had taken part in thirty seven games up to and 3n- cl1ding July 27. His claim to prreoe- dence is no so strong as that of Davey Robertson, the slugging outfeIder of the Giants, who is clubbing along at a .344 rate. but he is moving right along, just the same.
 Jake Daubert is in the throes of 8 batting slump. He lost seven more points during the last week and now is hitting .31S. Hans Wagner loses none of his skill with the stick as the days pass. The veteran Dutchman is well above the 300 mank just as he used to be in the good old days. George Whitted, the star of the Phil lies, is holding the pace and is up in the 300 ranks, as is Buck Wheat, the crack Outfelder of the Robins.
 Cincinnati leads in club batting, with Brooklyn second and the Giants third.
