Combs, of Louisville, the most

record when he stubbed his toe on

record is 1873, which is just twenty

Toledo, who continues to lead the
sluggers in the association.

has also shown a steady improve

Murphy, of Columbus, and Brown,
of Indianapolis, are not far away.
Brief added to his record by be.

ster for a time.
AS might be expected from the
clouting of the individual Blues,
Kansas City has a safe lead in
team hitting, as prominent as is
st. Pauls in fielding. The odd
part of the figures lies in the fact
that Toledo, last in the race, is
second in fielding and third in hit
ting. Indianapolis is hitting the
ball hard, but is playing a weak
defensive game.

body threw one of those things,
why it would bounce right back
to the thrower.
All in all, Pittsburgh and Gin

chances to overtake the Giants,
and only for McGraw's snappy
handling of his champs makes it
harder for this thing to be done.
AS much as I like Mr.. McGraw,
/ think it would make it mighty
interesting for the West to have
a title team this season. And,
furthermore, as the writer is go
