DNR Ee The close of the first five weeks of the race for the batting premicrship of the National League finds “Billy” Keeler at the top of the heap. The wonderful little outfielder of the champions not only was the first man to cross the half-century mark in base hits, but has also hit safely in every game he has played. The st includes only players who have hit .300 or better. Of this number Wash- ington has four; Brooklyn, two; Louisville, three; Cleveland, three; St. Louis, four; Chicago, four; New York, four; Philadel- phia, five; Boston, five; Cincinnati, five, and Baltimore, nine. As Pittsburg has not a batsman over the .300 mark, its preseni position in third place is doubtless due to splendid pitching, fielding and team work. Outfi_ider Fred Clarke of Louisville stands sixth, with .3609, having five doubles, four triples and two home runs to his credit. De Montreville is eightn, with an average of .364, his total bases including five two- baggers. Duffy of Boston is again batting in his eld-time form, Hartman of St. Louis leads the minor leaguers who came into the league this year, and the Indtan, Sockalex- is, has fallen off a trifie in his work.

Although the Washington club has been playing abroad during the past two weeks, there has been a gracuai improvement in batting on the part of nearly all the regu- lar members of the team. De Montreville has dropped below the .400 mark, but still leads the club by a good margin. All others, with the exception of the pitchers, have gained in batting percentage, though Brown, Abbey, O’Brien, McGuire and Cart- wright are still doing poorly, and are any- where from .50 to .100 points lower than they should be. The individual gains made by these players have not yet been suffi. cient to pull them up in the hitter cl: consequently the team as a whole is still batting below the standard. “Zeke” Wrigley is demonstrating that size alone is not the factor in the make- up of a good batsman. In his eleven games the little man from the Quaker city has two doubles, two triples and one home run to his credit. The decline in the hitting of the pitchers is but natural, their high figures for the first two weeks of the season being based on but one or two games played. In the matter of long hits Reilly still holds the “slugger” title of the team, with six doubles, one triple and two home runs. The gain and loss in the following table is based on the averages of a fortnight ago, when the Senators closed their series with the eastern clubs: AB. 113 B. Ave. Gain. Low, 304 De Montreville. .. Wri 5 Rel Pit) cers aedis= OFge Bee Cartw wight Prospect of Securing a Hard-Hitting Fielder for the Agile Short Stop. The report comes from Louisville that DeMontreville, the Senators’ short stop, 1s on the market, and that a trade was tried for between the Louisville officials and Messrs. Wagner and Schmeiz, Fred Clarke, the $10,000 beauty.” being the man de- sired by the Washington people. This move will no doubt surprise many of the local enthusiasts, who have not been watching the course of events very closely, but to thes on the inside this step has been looxed for for some time. DeMcntreville_is evidently anxious to get away from Washington to play ball, and owing to this desire, no doubt, his work this spring has not been of the best. It has always been a peculiar fact in base ball that a player canrot do k 3 best while playing at home,-and for thir reason sev- eral of the best players in th. big league have refused offers fyom clubs that would have taken them ‘among familiar surround- ings and hosts of friends. This state of things has no doubf brought about De- Montreville's dissatisfaction, as his many friends on Capitol Hill have made a sort of hero out of him, and made the least re- straint upon his actions extremely irk- some and distasteful. Once or twice this spring the little fellow has broken over the traces, but Messps. » Wagner and Schmelz do not believe in! benching and fining a player, and for this reason the public did not become aware of the cir- cumstances. But if DeMontreyille is traded, the local enthusiasts can rest assured that a strong addition will be made to the team in his place. DeMont. is a star and another star must take his place. Fred Clarke would j have been a good trade, or Delehanty or George Davis of the New Yorks would do just as well. Both Philadelphia and New York need short stops, and the Washing- tens need fielders. The Loulsville trade, from this distance, also, looks good for both clubs. Mr. Wagner knows De Mortreville’s abil- ities as well as any one, and if he his de- cided to dispose of him it is only after care- ful consideration of the matter. The lusty young shortstop is without doubt one of the stars of the league, and he would be gob- bled up by almost any club. The home fans will not be satisfied with his loss unless an equally good man takes his place. What would perhaps cause as little dissatisfac- tion as any change would be to trade him with Feltimore for Jack Doyle. While Mr. Wagner is putting through this deal he should not lose sight of the fact that there are other positions on the team that need strengthening and no time should be lost in bringing them about. Wrigley will fit in to the short stop posi- tion very well and a star outfielder be very welcome, but another infielder should also be secured before games can be won with any degree of regularity, and the base ball public satisfied.

Last season Laskey played with the Cum- berland League, and although only mine two years old had made quite a record for himself and his prospects were of the brightest. 3 Given up the pennant? I should say not, said O. P. Tebeau. “‘Why, me boy, I'm so sure of wearing that pennant at the end of the season that I have already written a letter of acknowledgment of congratula- tions. It is now being engraved and will be_ready at the end of the season.” There is at least cne young man on the Philadelphia team who deserves a bunch of Toses or some other suitable reminder of the home-coming. This young man is Richard Cooley. From the reports he must be putting up a truly remarkatle game all alo the circuit, and his hair-raising catches nave taken the western cities by storm. Cooley has also done good work with the stick, and on the bases he has been as active as a jack rabbit. Says the Philadelphia Inquircr: Mr. Sial- lings harps too much on ‘system.’ We have it on good authority that the system in vogue in the British circumfocution of- fice was the most comprehensive ever de- vised, but there is nothing to indicate that any desirable results were attained through its application. What the Phillies want in the interest of winning ball is less system and more runs. Not that system 1s not a necessary part and parcel of the game, but there is a possibility that it may be overdone.” “Bull” McKean has sent more hard hits this season right into fielders’ mitts than any other six players in the business. On Monday Sox dipped into his rear pocket and puiled out a little round white object, which he tossed to McKesn. It was noth- ing less than a second last molar on the right jaw of a blind moore, which is a great lucky stone among the Penobscots. Mc- Kean gripped it in his teeth and swatted hard ac the first one Taylor sent him. Biff! The ball hit the right field fence; Sox trot- ted home. Outfielder Holmes of the New Yorks is sorry he ever left Louisville. He avers he would rather play on_the bench for Louts- ville than regularly on the New York team. Stallings evidently believes that to play a man in the same position two days tn succession will swell his head. During the three games here Lajoie played right once and first base twice; Boyle caught twice and played first once; Geier played right field twice and the bench once: Gillen and Nash divided the time at short; Hallman played second when Nash wasn't there, and Nash played second when he wasn’t at short. This may be a great scheme, but results don’t show it.—Cleveland Leader. “Why is it that a left-handed pitchar should be effective axainst south-paw bat- ters?” is a question often asked. “Should uot right-handed pitchers be equally ef- fective against right-handed batsmen?” is the argumentative query so often put with the first question. The answer is easy. Left-handed batsmen are trained to strike against right-handed pitching, and get but little practice against out curves—the easi- est pitched of all the “queer” balls in a pitcher's outfit. The usual out curve of a right-handed pitcher is an in curve for them. Some pitchers essay fooling them with an “in shoot,” or curve to the left but few of the twirlers have a very wi The consequence is that a left- striker meets with straight balis curves. When a left-handed pitcher s him he is cusily fooled by out curves and drops. TENNIS AT NEW HAVEN. Driscell, the Georgetown University Expert, in the Finals. In the New England tennis tournament at New Haven yesterday Richard Hooker of Yale won his match in the semi-finals and will now meet Driscoll, the George- town expert. in the finals. Hooker's match with Dodge, the present Yale champion, was sensational. Hooker had the first set, 6 to 1, but weakened, and Dodge made it deuce games. The set see-sawed for a time till Dodge finally won—19 to 8. Hooker here rallied again and took the next two sets and match. Hooker and Dodge, playing as partners in the doubles, won a hard match and will doubtle&s meet Driscoli and Beach in the finals. The play resulted as follows: Singles, semi-finals—Thomas A. Driscoll, Georgetown, defeated H. H. Hackett, Yale, 6-4, 9-7. Richard Hooker, Yale, defeated Clarence P. Dodge, Yale, 8-10, 6-3, 6-1.

For several months the local cricketers have been busily preparing for this season’s play. While they cannot boast of a lord’s or an oval, they have succeeded in effect- ing such improvements as to justify them in Inviting visitors to play here. Early in January some members were delegated to visit certain localities and ascertain if suit- able grounds could be secured. They re- ported one in Chevy Chase. A committcc, consisting of Messrs. Binney, Hacker and Cherrington, was then appointed to make the needed improvements. Permission to use the ground having been granted by Mr. F. G. Newlands, the president of the Chevy Chase Land Company, a portion of the ground wag freshly sodded and relaid with the utmost care, the outfield fenced in and @ very modest club house erected. The work of the committee being now com- pleted, it has handed over to the club managers the field in condition for playiag notwithstanding that it’ was so recently begun, the credit being largely due to Mr. Morris Hacker, as it was under his supervision the work proceeded. Next Monday—Decoration day—the first match takes place between an eleven from the Catonsville Country Club of Baltimore county, Md., and the home team. Those chosen to represent Washington are: T. H.
