AVERAGES SHOW
 WHY SOME CLUBS ARE NEAR THE TOP

New York, July 6-Records compil- ed from the box scores of major league games from the opening of the sea- son to July l, furnish some interesting data for a comparison of the work of the various teams in the two leagues. In the American league, the New York club, which heads the pennant race, leads in total number of runs scored; is fourth in. hitting and has made more errors than five of the rival cpn- tenders. Cleveland Is second in riins and hits and has made but seven less errors than the Yankees. Detroit is third in run making; first in hits and third in the least number of err TOTS. St. Louis is third in hits; fourth in runs and with the New York club is tied for sixth place in error, mak- ing.
 Washington and Chicago have made about the same number of runs and hits but the White Sox have made less errors than any of the other clubs of the junior league. Boston, while playing with fewer errors than any club except Chicago, is well down the list in batting and run scoring. The Philadelphia Athletics are last in hits anu TuIlSi duo 4ldNC pilco uP HUI . errors than any of the other centend- CTS,
 In the National league Cincinnati has made the greatest number of hits but is fifth in runs and has made more errors than any club except Chicago. The Cubs lead the league in runs; are second in hits but have marred this record by making more errors than any of their rivals. The New York Giants are second in runs; third in hits and fourth in errors Pittsburgh and St. Louis are tied for third place in run making and by a peculiar coincidence have made ex- actly the same number of hits being tied for fourth place in this depart ment of the game.
 Brooklyn is sixth in nun making; fourth in hitting and five other clubs have made less errors than the pen nant aspiring Spperbas. Philadel- phia and Boston are respectively sew enth and eighth in runs and hits, but the Braves have a decided advantage over the Phillies as they have less errors than any other team in the league while the Philadelphia players have been charged with more errors than Boston. Pittsburgh, St. Louis or New York.

After that those on the New Haven bench called Ennis out of his name quite often. The best part of the double header was that Bridgeport won . game af- ter a weeks lapse.

RED ED S0x O! LEADER
 IS POPULAR WITH MEMBERS OF CLUB

Worcester. July e. Indictment weather conditions. coupled with the slowness of their crack slabmen to get into condition is responsible for the failure of the Red Sox to hold a higher position in the American league pennant race just now, accord ing to Charles Chick" Shorten, the utility outfielder of the worlds champs who formerly played with the Wor- cester club. Shorty spent yesterday visiting friends in this city.
 Shorten had nothing but the great est of praise for Bill Carrigan, the for mer Holy Cross star. Carrigan's job according to Shorty, has been one thing after another this season. The loss of Speaker alone was a big set- back for the Hub manager, but when the regulars with the team fell into a batting slump and then the pitch CTS went bad, Holy Cross Bill had the job of his life trying to keep the lads on edge.
 Shorten sported a gold jackknife. a present from President Joseph Lam min. Each member of the Sox and the Hub scribes were presented a knife in honor of the recent no-hit, no-run game twirled by Foster. On one side of the knife the name of the owner is engraved. Just as soon as the Sox get into first place, Owner Lannin is going to take the whole team out to a tailor and have each lad fitted up in new $50 suit.
 Shorten has been granted a leave of absence by Manager Carrigan until Thursday. He expects to play a few games in this vicinity the next couple of days which he expects will serve as sort of a tuning-up process for his batting eyes and his salary whip. Be- fore leaving on the recent trip, Man. ager Carrigan told Shorten to get all the work he could, as long as his arm was mending. and Shorty has had no trouble. as he is popular favorite with fans all over Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

BATTLING LAIN AFTER
 BOUT WITH MAULIFFE

The manager of Battling Lahn sends the following:
 Last week I predicted, in the Con- necticut papers, that Battling Lahn of Brooklyn would. again knock out Sammy Waltz. the seifstyled feather weight champion of Connecticut, and that right after the contest we would try and induce Young McAuliffe to enter the ring with this little fellow IAhn.
 Now. at the Lenox A. c. of Meri- den, last Thursday night, before the main bout, Waltz and Lahn, McAuliffe was introduced and challenged the winner, after the fight was over, and Lahn stopped Waltz for the second time, this time in Il rounds. the matchmaker tried to induce McAuliffe to make the match with Lahn, but Mac had made mistake in chalieng- ing the winner, thinking that Waltz who had already boxed him two hDutA both going the limit. would win. When Lahn knocked him out it upset the plans of McAuliffe and there was nothing to do only to sign or go quietly out of town the back way and the latter way was the way that tho Bridgeport featherweigEt choee,
 There is no doubt in our minds but what Lahn can stop McAuliffe tho seme as he stopped Waltz and for that matter there is not much doubt n the mind of McAuliffe that he can, fer he cannot he induced to meet this little fellow who is willing to let him come in weighing 124 pounds, the 4eathsrweight limit.

THREE CLUBS IN MAJORS DECLINED
 10 TAkEB BEE BE

New York, July 6-In view of the Aplendid showing Fred Beebe is making with Cleveland it Is interest ing to note that John McGraw had flrst call on the veteran pitcher, but declined to give him trial. While McGraw'a Judgment may still be vim dicated. Heehe, is trying his very best to provo that the leader of the Giants wAa guilty of an error. The brace of threeeh1t games pitched by Beebe for tho indians must have made McGraw think considerably. especially in view Sof John's search for another capable pitcher. N
 When Beebs refused to accept the salary offered by Patsy Donovan of the Buffalo Internationals, with whom Fred played in 1915, Patsy did no. follow the course most managers would have pursued. He did not sus- pend Beebe, but got busy in an effort to place the veteran with some major league club.
 First the Giants were asked to take him on trial. The New York club got three days in which to consider the matter. John Foster was not so averse to taking Beebe on. but Me- Graw did not think it advisable to sign another veteran when he was trying to reconstruct with youth as . keystone.
 Then the .Phillies were asked to give Beebe chance, and Pat Moran declared that he, too. sought youth. Heebe ia only 36. but in baseball . player Ut that age is most often ac- counted as desirable as an old maid at Sunday school picnic.
 Detroit was the third club ap- prosched on the Beebe question and even Huehsy Jennings. who has been taking on divers subjects of waivers alec declined the pitcher. Cleveland finally agreed to give the veteran a trial. and got him for less than ma jor league would have to pay for a drafted rookie.
 4eebes who. is q ranchman, has taken fine care of himself and despite his 36 years, is in better shape than most youngsters. Until recently he coached at the University of Indiana Last season, with Buffalo. he won 27 games and lost only seven. and pitch cd . no-hit, no-run game. In 1914 he won 21 and lost seven. Reebe waa with the Cubs in 1906. with the Car dinals the next three years and with the Reds in 1910.

BEATS
 SENATORS BY { FINE TWIRLINC

Washington, July 6-Driving Dr. Ayres out of the box in the second inning and hammering the offerings of Joe Rice to far and distant spots during the remainder of the conflict, the league-leading Yankees finished their stay here yesterday afternoon hy winning. the final game from the Senators by a score of g to l.
 Donovanss wrecking crew gathered in 1e safe blowsioff the two Washing ton pitchers, Capt. Peckinpaugh and Walters helping themselves to three hitn apiece, and Paddy Bauman in sertina triple with two on in the aeventh.
 wh1le the Yankees were piling up runs. Hay Heating, the Bridgeport Express" was pitching the Senators into submission, Ray held the home crowd to four scattered blows and it waa not until the last half of the ninth inning that they finally merged together enough batting strength to save themselves from a shut-out. It Waa about the best performance that Keatipg has given this season.
 Keatina sailed along all right until the fourth inning, when he lost his beariuep on the location ofsthe home plate and started on one of his as-. censione, He passed Milan. and then in trying to catch him of first. made . throw to the stands giving the run ner an extra base. Shanks also walk ed, Keating pitching six straight balls hefora he got strike over.
 At this 1uncture Caldwell went in to warm up. Judge flied out and Jamie~C6 was dispoAcd of when Keat- ine w9ed Henry fllins the bases; but the Bridgeport hurler. got out of thia trouble on a playsat first on Me Bride.

SIGN BURKETT 10
 MANAGE HARTFORD

Hartford, July .-Announcement was made last night the Jesse Burkett, formerly manager of the Lawrence club of the Eastern league, has been appointed the manager of the Hart ford club. Burkett succeeds George Spires who has been acting manager after the release of Heinie Wagner. Burkett reported for duty today and took charge in, the game with the New Haven club.
 Burkett was selected, it was ex- pla1ned by James H. Clarkin, owner of the club, because of his 27 years ex- perience ip baseball, the T. ten as owner and manager and because Spires tenure was uncertain owing to the face that he is under option from the Lowell club.

.EX PECT GIANTS TO
 SECURE SALLEE OF CARDS BY JULY 25

New York, July 6-McGraw can use another pitcher of high calibre and needs a man like Sallee badly. How ever, pitching is not the clubs only trouble. as the Giant fielding has been at a low ebb and their recent hitting on the Polo Grounds would never bring them anywhere. Doyle has been covering the ground he stands on, and sometimes not that, and of late the usually reliable Fletcher has become more cratic than Larry. Even Burns has been dropping flies when it hurt the most
 While John Foster denies that the Giants have offered $15,O00 for Sallee, it is safe to say that the Giants have made another offer to Britton TOT the tall left handler and raised their last bid.
 'I will only say that we offered no sum like s15,0o0 for Sallee," said Eos ter, yesterday.
 Outside of that I have nothing to say. Sallee is 8 fine pitcher and he would help us but he is s1 years old and worth nothing like that sum-"
 It appears as if Schuyler Britton were taking advantage of McGraw's plight and is holding out for a war sum for Sallee's release. It is no se- cret that the Cardinals have fared poorly in financial way this season and the Browns have been outdrawing them at home by quite a margin. As the Brittons are not in baseball for the fun that is in it, they will hardly permit an asset like Sallee retire when they can get money for him.
 Sallee, of course, would forget all about retiring If he were purchased by the Giants. The writer expects Q see Sallee as a member of the team when it returns to the Polo Grounds on July 25.,

THOUBLE ABOUT DUGGAN.


 Owner Harry Cornen is having trou- ble enough without the latest mixup about Outfielder Duggan to worry him. The local magnate threatens to ap- peal to Secretary Farrell of the Ma tional association unless the Hartford club sends Duggan here by tomor- row.
 When Curry was transferred to Hartford, Owner Clarkin of the Senas tors agreed to give Duggan in trade. But although Curry has been playing with Hartford since last week nothing has been done about sending Duggan here. Cornen has already lost a lot of money and the other magnates might display a little fairness il. their dealings with him.
 An effort is being made to get big league club here for next Sunday. The western clubs of the American league are in the east and one of them may be secured.
 Blake, the fleet Bridgeport out fielder, got sweet revenge on Rube Bressler, the New Haven outf1elder, yesterday. In the second game or the double bill at Newfield park Blake hit liner toward the left field fence that threatened to land in the auto mobiles. Bressler ran back as far as he could and then stuck up one hand for a great catch. Blake was down. cast but Bressler was the first man up in the next inning. He drove one be- txuaeni left and center. Blake ran across lots and by a sideways leap speared the ball. It was more dinl- cut catch than Bressler's because It
