SCOUTS ARE COMPETING
 AT WALNUT HILL TODAY
Troop Four Will Try to Hold su- prcmacy of Past Ten Years
 Standing

Can Troop maintain the su- premscy which 1t has held for the past ten years? That is the question of paramount interest in the 1fth annual Boy Scout field day which will begin at o'clock this after noon at Walnut Hill park.
 For ten consecutive years. or ever since inter-troop competition was inaugurated in this city. the First Congregational church boys have been returned victorious. but two dangerous troops will oppose them in the first division tomorrow, These will be the speedy Troop ? of the South Congregations church and the small but determined Troop 20 of Lincoln school. The last won the second class title last year and moved up among the premier troops of the city and threatens seriously to dispIace the leaders of the past decade.
 The result among the second class troops is even more doubtful, as many new and recognized troops will compete in this division. Troop 3 of the Trinity NJ. F. church, Troop IS of St. Mary's church, Troop 2S of the Rotary club, and Troop 19 of St. Joseph's church have been prac- Using almost every night this week, the preparation being much greater this year than ever before.
 There will be 21 events of scout work and athletics Scout Executive Albert Breckbill and two deputy commissioners, all from Bristol will be the judges. Silver cups will be awarded to the troops finishing first and second in each class.

 Conlin, local slab artist who suf- fered a sprained back in last Satur- days game, has rested all week and will be in excellent shape for the battle and will probably be Coach Cassidy's choice for slab duty.

 IN BOTH LEAGUES
Simons, Once a Bush Lsaguer, Leading With Average Of '4t5

Chicago, June 6. (AP)-Al Sim mons, a one-time bush leaguer for whom Connie Mack, willy manager of the Athletics. is reported to have parted with $S5,o0o today has a value Of as least S75,0O0 to Mack, if the elongated pilot of the Philadel- phia club measures base hits in dol lars and cents.
 Simmons, breaking loose In the general batting commotion prevail ing in the American league, gar nered 20 hits in his last nine games, giving him the batting leadership with an average of .4l5. He not only ran roughshod over the lead CTS, going from .SS9 to .415 in |. a week, but passed Ty Cobb and Me Manus of the Browns for honors in scoring, and made Ken Williams of the Browns look up to him for the honors in total base hitting.
 The youthful Philadelphia out fielder has crossed the plate A times, and stretched his total base hitting to 123. His performance at bat during the week included five doubles, a triple and a brace of home runs. Sammy Hale of the Athletics is topping Simmons with an average of .42S, but he has par ticipated in fewer games. The aver ages are based on games including those of Wednesday.
 Harry Rice of St. Louis also has been a hitting sensation. but as he has only figured in 20 games his average of .412 does not compare in importance to several other figures. However. he gained just an even 100 points in his last four games,
 Other leading batters:
 Heilmann, Detroit, .406; Vache, Boston, 400; Cobb, Detroit, 1892; Sisler, St. Louis, .391; Paschal, New York, 1882; s.
