Statistics issued » today and including games of last Wedneaday showed the Pittsburgh flash with a mark of .350 for 133 games against .37¢ for the Boston manager in 112, The elder Wimer's success in oust- ing Hornsby at last marked the first time since the batting averages he- came worth anything that the Ra- jah. had bowed to any league rival. The manager of the Hub team at one time soared to about .425 and apparently was making a runaway of the batting race. The Pirate clubber is not yet out of the weods by any means, but on the other hand faces a spirited bat- tle right down to the wire. As a result the senior circuit an- ticipates the closest and most inter- esting batting duel it has scen since . |Ed Reush and Back Wheat came down to the wire neck and neck in the war ydar of 1918. The two leaders hold the race solely between themselves. Erneat Orsatti of 8t. Louls is 'way up above 1,400, but cannot play enough games to become classed as a regular. |Chureh Klein, the Ft.

Paul Waner leads the league not only in individual batting but also in runs scored, with 128: in hits, with in doubles with 46 and in riples with 18.

The workout Will b held on the Pawnee field on Bouth street at 9:30 o'clock and all members are asked to report. Coach Gianotti plans a stiff workout. At the practice last night, the an- | rouncement that the promoters of last year's team had incorporated was received as a signal that Messrs. Dalley, Perakos and Walsh were planning to buck the project. It was taken as a challenge to the fforts cf the local players to form a team that would please the fans of the city, From the candidates who ap- peared for the workout last night, it appears that a strong team will be formed here. Among those who were present were Grat O'Connell who hus been appointed coach; “Unk” Connelly, Bernard Connelly, Tom Humphries, “Jumbo” Gnasdow, “Hap" Grigwold, “Zip" Zehrer, “Red” O'Nefl, Vic Radzevich, “Tur- | key” Claire, “Red” Matulis, Gunning, Joe Argosy, “Buffalo,” George Bmithwick, Bérgin, Emery, Carl Brink, Durham and scveral others, Coach O'Connell started right off and put the squad through signal and passing drill using all the can- didates present. The practice was snappy and atify. The organizers add that they wait- ed until the field was clear before they started and they had the assur- ance of all parties concerned that there would be no other team in the teld.
