HITTERS HAVE
MADE THEIR MARK
Interesting Development of
the Baseball Con-
troversy.

NEW YORK, April 24.-While the
big league players have hardly got
into their stride for the long pennant
races, the batting averages for the
initial week Of the schedules show that
the heavy hitters OF the Federal league
have a number Of cases been able to
hammer out a place for themselves
among the 300 baters. In the Ma
tional league. Hal Chase in his few
games with Cincinnati has been hitting
at a .455 clip against his 1884 In the
Federal league last year. Konetchy,
Of Boston, Is given 400 after batting
$40 for the entire season OF 1915. Rari-
dent, of New York, hit for .27S as a
Federal but since donning a Giants
uniform he has climbed to 1913. Ben

year with .344 is tied with Rariden

The Federal league representation
in the American league is consider
amly less than that in the National

que have crowded out of the 300 or
better class, all of the independent
league players of 1915. Lee Magee,
former manager Of the Brookfeds who

the Kansas state crop report suggest.
ing a yield Of 26,000,0o0 bushels larg.

a cause Of lower prices.
Unfavorable weather for the seed
ing OF wheat In the northwest was
more or less ignored by dealers here,
except as tending somewhat to check
the force of downturns In the market.
Adverse field reports from the soft
winter states wore also for tho mo-
ment given scant notice, although ono
well.known expert was out with a
forecast OF less than half.a crop this
season In Illinois and Indiana.
Corn gave way with wheat. De-
clInes. however. resulted In persistent
buying on the part of strong interests.
Oats received fair support owing to the
purchase of 100000 bushels here for
export. The market nevertheless
showed evident weakness on account
OF the setbacks to the value Of other
grain and because of the excellent
crop outlook for oats.
