Ty Cobb, the star out- fielder of the Tigers, is said to be flirting desperately with the Fed- erals, having been offered a three- year contract at §25000 a year.

Long-Distance Hitting Features Games in Federal League teams in the National and A jean Leagues may have the leading sluggers in baselpall, still the records fail to prove that this fe the case. A comparinon of the batting records of the three leagues up to and including May 6 shows that the new league Is far in the lead. In 1265 games played by the eight clubs of the Federal League 1,121 base bits were made, The National League in 120 games made 939 hits, The American League shows the greatest weakness in batting. ‘The teame of Ban Johnson's organization played 140 games up to and including May 6 and made 1,064 base hits, an average of less t elght to a game. The Federals, although playing fifteen gamen lcss, show an average of « very fraction leas than nine hits a game. The National League shows better in hitting than the American, But it ts only @ fraction. Long distance hittiag has been the feature in the gamen played in the Federal Iaague, So many long hits have been made that a move- ment has been started to “deaden” the ball. Tho Feds cracked out forty- eight home runs. These, with the many doubles and three-baggers, In the National League twenty-four homers ce hitting ylelded 317 extra bases, The American Leaguers are far behind in extra base hitting.
