city continuously since August. 1903.

when I first went on the force we
had horses, and for five years after ]

that they were on to their business
In those days We worked u hour

~The most exciting time in FL Paso
since have been on the force was
the first battle Of Juarez. We were

There were p killed and wounded
IN south FL Paso during the battle. A

We had to so down there all through

for nine games. in which he has made
twenty hits out of forty three times at

Next to Williams in the batting derby

outfeldcr. Young is only a step back
of Williams. with mark of .462.
Gabby Cravath. of the Phils, who is
slated to be traded to the Braves, has
put together batting average that
looks like a fielding mark, but he has
welded the ashen club in the face of
opposing pitching on only twelve occa-
sions. Cravath's record shows .0S3.
he having registered seven hits out of
twelve times at bat.
Sticking, the latest addition to the
battle array of the CoOmbs clan, has
clouted the old apple at 400 clip for
seven games. six Of which were played
with the Giants.
The Giants is the best hitting club
thus far. McGraw's singers have a
team average of .31O. In this depart
mcnt the Phils are third. with .271.
Jeff Pfcffcr and Ray Fisher are the
leaders of hurlers. Each has won four
decisions without defeat thus far.
Pfeffcrs fourth victory was scored over
the Phils OH Thursday and Fisher
rounded out his quartet by defeating

Gcdeon's nearest rival is Joe Jackson.
the Chicago fence buster. Jackson has
played in one game more than Gcdcon
and is in the runner up position. with
a record of .4GT.
Jackson, who hit safely in his first
ton games last season. got away to Il
good start this year by connecting in
his first eight contests. During this
stretch of hitting the Chicago slugger
poled out seventeen hits in thirty four
tries for an average of 800. He finally
was stopped by Grover Lowdermilk.
The reason why the White Sox are
setting the pace in the league race is
found in the club batting column. Kid
Gleason's tossers have team hitting
average of .30". The Mackmen are five
notches below the Sox in team hitting
with a card of .2j1
