The team has five play- ers who rank up in the .300 class at the present time. The averages now ®seem large, but as the season wears on they will begin the downward path. The team average is quite high, al- though this is the first of the season. It is .312. The team has no very heavy clouters, but they hit timely and safe. All the averages are about .260 except Robinsen, and there are only two that are on the .250 mark. AB. Hits P 476 450 L. Swnley . o 2T Murray 20 % T 13 2 3. Hun H R o 8. Crowe Benjumin Tord .

It is learned that new coaches have taken charge of the team and hardly a man is in the posi- tion he held when they were badly beaten by N. F. A. at Dayville. The pitcher has been moved to first base and a new.youngster has taken his place. The catcher has been- moved to l.eonrl‘ and the second baseman to the outfleld. The result of this change is a strong team which knocked Blackmore, the Putpam mound artist, out of the box | in the third inning. There has been no practice at the Academy since last Saturday, except the pitchers, who have been working out in the gymnasium. Manager Leahy had a talk with the Sachem mranager and he has agreed to give them a game the latter part of the season, and the game is looked forward to with much Interest. JOHNBON INJUNCTION CASE CONTINUED UNTIL MAY 14. An Affidavit Tells About Negotiations With Joo Tinker and Otto Knabe. Chicego, May 5.—Hearing on the motion to disselve the injunction re- stralning George H. Johnson, pitcher, who jumped to the Kansas City Fed- erals from the Cincinnati National - ball club, was continued today until Thursday, May 14. The in ‘which was obtained by the Ciicinnati olub, forbade Johnson from playing ‘with any baseball organization. An affidavit, signed by Johnson and by the Kansas City ciub, told of negotiations the pitcher was carrying on with Joe Tinker and Otto Knsbe last Jenuary when a telephone message from Henry Groh of the Cin- cinnati club resuited in his going to Cincinnati to see Garry Herrmann.

PROTEST BY CINCINNATI. Manager Herzog Claims Batsman Did Not Have Fair Chance. A formal protest of the game be- tween the Cinoinnati and Pittsburg teams at Cincinnati Sunday was mail- ed Monday to President John K. Tener of the National league by Manager Herzog of the Clncinnati team. Her- zog claims that In the eleventh inning of Sunday’s game, as a third strike was being delivered to Miller, Cincin- nati batsman, a ball that had pre- viously been kmocked out of the lot was thrown back on to the fleld and hit Miller on the leg. He stepped back, Herzog claims, just as the pitch- ed ball went over the plate, and was cailed. out on strikes. Herzog further claims_the pitched ball should not have been counted and that Miller should have been given another chance at bat, N ILLINOIS ATHLETIC CLUB ESTABLISHED WORLD RECORD in 400 Yard Four Man Relay 8wim Held in New York Monday ht.

Prices Pluctuated Within a Narrow Margin—Net Changes Unimportant. | New York, May §—Speculation was slow and irresolute today. The confi- dence with which prices were bid up :m&;@nmnzflm m‘llsdm Out- ‘s ng greatly and pro- feswlonal traders shifted from ene side of the market to the other, with the| result that quotations alternately rose and fell within a narrow range. Net changes were unimportant. The market’s hesitation reflected the attitlude of traders, who considered the outlook too uncertain to permit of entering upon heavy commitments. In none of the factors bearing upon the speculative situation was there any important change, and the mark- | ot drifted idly through most of Lhe( session. | London prices were barely changed | and forelgn representatives did little Per] 5,000 shares wers sold at the outset. The Hill shares led the | decline, Northern Pacific losing two | points on the report that a new bond issue stock was to be put out. The report met with prompt denial, follow- ed by a Tecovery in the stock. Mis- sourt Pacific made a temporary show- ing of strength, owing to the ex- on of an early announcement of new flhancial backing for the road. but it sold down in the last hour, after it became known that no definite action had b taken by the directors at today’s meeting. The whole list eased off in the latq dealings, aft- er various shares had made net gains of a point or more and last prices were near the day’s lowest. Further cuts in crude oil prices and reductidns in dividentds by pipe Iine compazies caused a tumble in ol | stocks dn the curb. In some cases the | declines ran to twenty points or more. Bonds were steady. Total sales, par | value, 3$2,300,000. United States bonds{ ‘were unchanged on call. EEE sEpety 3!

Washington has semt Outflelder Spencer to Rechester. Jehn McGraw is greatly impressed with Pittabu strength. The Giants were down in the second last year. playing field is asg perfect as it could be made. Fred Galser and Jack Pappalau are among Manager Ed Phelps’ Albany pitchers. s Outfielder Channel, for whom the Yanks paid the Denver club $5,000, has been sent to Buff: Twent-two errors waere apiiled in the recent Giants-Phillies series. A good deal of throwing ‘em where they ain't. Chicago is patronizing the Feds strongiy, but Pittsburgh and St. Louis Mike Donlin did not take his gold bat to Boston, as he was told that the damp atr of New England might rust the treasure. The fund being raised in Boston for the reMef of Lou Criger, who is laid up in a Boston hospital, now amounts to nearly $300. As long as Fred Snodgrass keeps up his present batting streak Mike Don- lin will have to play the part of as- sistant pinch hitter. Joe Tinker thinks the ball used by the Feds is too lively and the manu- facturer has been asked to make it 15 per cent. more morfbund. Cennie Mack offered up Wrekoft, who has been going none too well, as & eacrifice, but he, too, overthrew the speed king of Washington.
