NEW. RBRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAT, MAY 24, MANY REVERSALS IN Bl LEAGUES Considerable. Variance in 1915 Figures Compared With Present New York, May 24.—A number of notable changes are apparent in the playing form of the major league clubs ot the close of the first month of the pennant season when the records are compared with those of a year ago. This is particularly true of the batting averages of the teams as well as the speed on the ba Some allow- ance must be made for the fact that the inclement weather of the present spring has been the cause of more postponed games than was the case in 1915. This feature, however, is not sufficient to account for the radical changes in the standing of a number of clubs as are shown by the accom- panying figures. In the National league the Brooklyn club is leading the senior association with a batting average of .267 whereas ear ago the Superbas were seventh .243. Chicago, which was first twelve months ago, is at present in fifth place with .249 which is about twenty points lower than in 1915. The Cubs also show a falling off in stolen bases for they pilfered less than a third of the number that they regis- tered in the same period a year ago. It the figures for the present season can be relied upon there has been con- siderably less activity on the base iines to date than was the case last season for the lergue average in stolen bases in?191i5 was 3¢ to 21 for the first month of this vear's race play. Among the American league clubs, Washington has shown the greatest improvement, The Nationals are hold- ing second place in team batting with .244 while a year ago they were last with .211. The Philadelphia Athletics batting .249 in 1915 are last at pres- ent with .216. Cleveland, although well up in the league, is nine points Lelow the figures which gave her fourth place at this time last Spring. There is not the marked difference in the league average for stolen bases that is apparent in the National league for the records of 1915 show that the eight clubs had averaged 29 stolen bases last season to 25 for the first month of the present race. For the purposes of comparison the record for the first month of both 1915 and 1916 are appended National League. Club Chicago Boston Cincinnati New York Philadelphia St. Louis .
