CHANGE SYSTEM OF
 KEEPING BATTING AVERAGES
Says Cactus cravath." "

In the July Baseball Magazine" Cravath, home run hitter for the Phil lies, claims the present system does a gross injustice to the man who can really hit.
 Very likely many people will look upon what 1 am going to say as the grabbing of an old fossil It makes very little difference to me, however, what they think. 1 am going to state a few facts which anyone can verify at the expense of the few moments time. And facts are pretty stubborn things. Here they are:
 The batting averages more than any other one thing, determine, in the pub lie mind. what a ball player, outside the battery and perhaps one or two infield positions, is really worth.
 The batting averages determine more than any other one thing, 8 players value as drawing card and his ability to secure a good salary for himself. His batting average then, is the ball players principal stock in trade and is immensely important to him in a personal and business sence as I shall presently try to show But where the records, through no fault of the batter himself fail to give him to credit which is due him then he has just grievance for he has suf- fered a genuine loss.
 What do I mean by this statement? |? Just this. And because I know more about my own record than do about some other players record. l will illu- strate from my own personal experi- ence at the risk of being accused of blowing my own horn.
 In 1915, not my best year by any means, but a good one, 1 made A home runs a modern record. I also made S1 doubles, in fact hit for 266 total bases although I made but 149 hits. That is to say I hit for IF extra bases. Although I am slow man on the bases and many para graphs have been written about my wooden shoes, l scored more runs that season than anybody else on the cir cult. In addition l drove in more runs than any other batter. I led all bat ters in number of total bases. I also hit for IT extra bases. The man who was second best in our league hit for 76. I led him by Al bases. In short in all the really effective work of the batter, I should have led the league by very fair margin. But what act ually happened? According to the absurd system in percent use, which gives a man as much credit for mak- ing scratch single as home run, l hit for an average of 2s5. True, that isn't bad average. but how did it compare with others? According to the dope books, was number seven teen on the list. Sixteen players hit for better average than mine. Is there any particular sense in that kind of situation?
 There is certain charm about the phrase "300 hitter" which seems to appeal to the crowd. If a man is a 300 hitter he is a star. If he doesn't ! rank that we'll according to existing

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS PRoFEssi OVAL.
United States Steel Featured the
 Days Business.

New York, July 30.-Interest in the stock market was more professional if anything, than usual today, traders engaging in fresh commitments on the short side because of adverse crop reports and uncertainty as to the sta pility of the United States Steel extra dividend.
 All doubt regarding the latter proved unfounded, although the result was not known until after the market s close, when record earnings and enor- nous appropriations for federal ih- come and war excess profits were is sued.
 U. S, Steel, according to it's usual custom supplied an overwhelming. per centage of the days limited business, making an extreme decline of ? 1-4 points in the last houd and closing at a net loss of 7-S of a point.
 The balance of the list was guided by Steers irregular course, with occa- sinai exceptions. notably in the group of gas shares, which gained 2 to 3 1-2 points on favorable legal ruling.
 Forenoon advances of 1 to points in oila inactive equipments, motor accessories and such miscellaneous issues as Harvester, Pacific Mail and sundry specialties under pool control were largely effaced later.
 The average of prices was lowest in the last hour, the days only active period, but leaders rallied fractionally to a point. Sales amounted to 310,000 shares.
 Call money ceased a trifie, but time funds were limited to renewals for short terms, mainly 30 days.
 Bonds were steady but featureless aside from further nominal advances in the international group. Total sales par value, aggregated $5625,000. Old U. s. bonds were unchanged on call
