NEW YORK. October 2S.-Tho rec

partmcnt did the White Sox hold She
premier position. although the aver
age OF the team was very high. Boston
played the greatest number of games
during the season, due to iivc tie con
tests. Detroit. which finished fourth.
led in hitting. while the Boston Red
Sox held the opposing teams TO the
lowest number OF runs.
The figures also give :, clear insight
into the loose play of the Philadei-
phia Athletics. who finished in last
place. The Maci<mcn scored next to
the largest total of runs, being but
thirty three behind the Chicago club
in this respect and but twenty-thrcc
hits short of the Detroit record, which
enabled the Tigers to win first place,
in this department OF the game. AS
an offset to this excellent offenSc
! however. the Athletics showed the
poorest defensive play OF any club in
the American League. The Philadc!-
phia team made the largest number
of errors; had the greatest number of
runners left on the bases, and their
opponents scored more runs against
the team than against any other club
on the circuit.
Ginnts Play Most Games.
In the National League, the New
York Giants, winners of tho pennant
and losers OF the world series, played
the most games, completing their full

It may indeed be truly sud that
there is no kind Of social position, no

longed to. the opposite sex, and with
the most excellent results. We regard
1t as alone right and proper for a man
to take the initiative in courtship, yet
among the Papuans OF New Guinea a
man would think 1t indecorous and
ridiculous to court a girl it was the
girls privilege to take the initiative
in this matter, and she exercised Il
with delicacy and skill and the best
moral results. -. There Is, again,

In Siberia, Australia, Guiana, and, In
