George Campbell fell Saturday, going to bat four times to prop his average, which fell from .692 to .529, bhut he still olds fourth place. His teammate, “Red"” Campbell, fell off to .500, o mark which was reached Saturday by ay of the Rangers and Zalko, Bur- ritt catcher. Seven of the first t 1 batters are members of the Burritt team. Adamalitis still holds his freak 1000 batting average in one trip to the plate and Grace, the new Tah second sacker, hit for .750 last only one game and cannot be coun- ted among the real leaders. Johnny Rose, Burritt and no-hit pitcher, has made most runs, 10. Luty's 11 hits give him the lead in that respect. “Red” Matulis, “Lefty” Haber, and run hitiers with two apiece.
