original bid was $4,000. but Tom Jones
denied that.

other sprinter around here capable of
holding his own with the youngster
wearing the colors of George Green's
squad. Maxam will get lots of compe-

SHANKS TOPS
WASHINGTON BATTERS

Howard Shanks, one of the most pop
ular players on the Washington club,
is entitled to carry the batting honors
this week for the Nationals, as he made
a nice jump of points last week, from
1913 to $40. Barber. of course, is up
there. but as he has appeared in
only four games. he cannot be
considered the real leader. "Zeb" Milan
almost held his own, losing one point
on the week, dropping from 1888 to .337
Ray Morgan made a nice jump of
points, from .273 to 2s1. and if he can
stay there the fans" will be tickled to
death. The two men watched the most
closely are Rondeau and Judge. Henri
slipped back last week from PA to
.206. while Judge made a small advance
from .159 to .170, a gain of i points.
In team batting the Nationals i'm
proved last week, advancing from .252
to $50. a splendid showing. In team
fielding the Griffmen lost one point
and are now fielding at a 1854 clip.

The Rrooklanders have had a sue

been lost which We're badly wanted in
the won column, the team has made
splendid showing in very near every
contest in which it has taken part
Tufts is about the only institution that
has a victory over the local school by a
big margin.
The team has. at least, an even chance
to win the two remaining contests. The
work of the pitchers has been such as
almost to insure good defensive base
ball and there have been few contests
this season in which the players have
failed to score three or four runs. The
game with NJ. A. c. should be closely
contested affair if the home club gets
good pitching. The mound work of the
FARMERS has been cratic but the team,
otherwise, is good enough to give the
best of college mines real fight.
Everybody remembers the kind of bat
tie c. U. and the Navy put up last Wed

another such is played.

The lengthening of the schedule in
