While Carlos Paula, an outfield-
err who has played both for Denver

his average to 1892.
Bunched around the 800 level
were Granville Gladstone, St. Paul
outfielder C.307); Lacey Curry, st.
Paul infielder (.sO6); Willie Kirk

ity player, was batting .296; ossie
Virgil Minneapolis third base
man, 279; Jim Pendelton, Wichita
outfielder, .256 and Alberto Bare,
Omaha outfielder, $50.

the fact that the Cubs dropped
three out Of four 10 the Philadel-
