I
Mr. Jack Gives His Wife a
Judgments
4 m HB Western league this week pre- j
I senta somo figures of unusual I
I interest. First, the batting av
crages. Forty-flvo men are bit
'ting .300, or better. At once we
see the reason poor pitching. It U our
opinion that this league has not in many
seasons had as uniformly weak work In
the box as this year. Just as a matter
of contrast let us note that only about
half a dozen .300 hitters are found In the
American league this year, where on the
other hand are to bo found a set of
pitchers considered by many old observ
ers as the greatest galaxy ever assem
bled In any league. Surely the fan who
delights In slugging Is getting his fill this
year In the Western. Omaha contributes
six to this list of forty-five .300 hlttcrs
Congalton, Ward, Thomas, Thomason,
Schlpke and Orover, In order named, and
ICrug "misses by one' little mark, batting
.299. Congalton ranks third In tho league
with a percentage of .370, being topped
by LeJeune of Sioux City with .401 and
Mullen of Lincoln with .371 to date, j
Omaha as a team comes second in bat
ting with a percentage pf .289, Denver
leading with .301. Think of It, a team
averaging more than .3001 Omaha Is
fielding third In the league list batting
second, fielding third, ranking sixth to
date. The answer? It has one pitcher
to date Willis who has won as many
games as ho has lost; he has won ten and
lost two. Tipple has won four, lost five;
Graver, four and six; Closman, six and
ten. These figures close the work up to
Thursday of tho week past. We say
again that If we can pick up In pitching
and with tho two new men, Single and
Styles, we may tho team ought to get
Into tho race for tho flag. With a rapid
fire Infield,- three of whom with Wtard
af. first are hitting .300 and better, and
a good outfield, all hitting practically as
waU.tho team, .though still ta-JltUoi weak,
behind tho bat, ought to malfo It with
pitching strength. To revcrt'to the,
loague's slugging, note that 'while Den
ver? leading at the bat, has a team av
erage of .304; Lincoln, ranking last, comes
nlpng with a percentage of ,863, which Is
really high enough for first , place".
Sir. Navln's statement of Cobb's loy
alty to Detroit should serve to settle Yh'e
speculation about Ty's Intentions of Jump
ing to' tho "Federals. Navln says that
Cobb voluntarily signed for two years
with him, though obliged to sign for only
one, and that he acknowledges his mis
take In the recent mlxup, -which has de
prived tho team of his services for a
time,- and is determined-to try -to-make
lip for the loss when he gets back into
harness. So far so good for Tyrus, and
doubtless the butcher will say so too.
Lincoln is said to have received SS.BOO
for Mullen, conditionally; $1,000 down for
a thirty days' look-over, tho balance.lt
he makes, good, and Lincoln gets the use
of Williams to boot. Wo hope Mullen
makes good, and believe he certainly will
If ho can hit, but think of going from tho
pitchers we have at present in this league
up to face .those phenoms In tho Ameri
can. At that, Chance got the pick of
'.Ills league for first Backers.
Itun your eye down this line of pitch
ing talent and then tell why the Sox
don't win more games: Benz, Scott,
Clfotte, Faben Itussell. Isn't the an
swer this that the lineup of the team Is
shifted too often? And so It's been for
teveral seasons, Tho men don't get to
perreci me tenm wont oi a smooin
runnlng machine, which Is essential to
ball playing.
Clark Griffith reminds the base ball
world of the long, long ago In forfeiting
ii game. Very fow games aro forfeited
these days, whereas twenty "years and
more ago such a thing was not at all
uncommon. Fans do not care to stand
for It now, and fans continue to cut an
Increasingly big figure In the situation.
Mr. Klnsella's experience In f oxter com
pany did not show out very strong In
the part of Fi-Mkv's ramn that he
pitched against Omaha. No pitcher has
been punished on the local lot this sea
son as ho was In one Inning when six
hits and five runs came through, and
two of these wero triples.
Western league umpires are extremely
averse to calling balks, either that or
thoy watch for them, for pitchers are
balking almost every day with impunity.
It, Is as fair, perhaps, for one team as
another, 'only that it Is not quite the
system. A balk Is a balk and should be
called.
Fred Thomas, the nitty little Infielder
and slugger for Pa Bourke. met with his
third strikeout Friday only three since
joining the team. What do you think of
that? And when he hits .the ball he p.uta
a force and crack in It that sends H
fiercely on -its way, '

Although fistic encounters have dis
heartened many Omaha bugs and th In
terest In local baso batldom has fallen oft
tremendously, nevertheless on account of
the Increased interest when this season
rolled In it Is still above par compared
with preceding years. Last Sunday one
little muss was pulled off at Fort Omaha.
It didn't amount to much, but It provoked
tho fans and It Is a two to one shot that
It will get In Its deadly work. Probably
they could accommodate somo of the
fighters down In Mexico. They would,
euro be of more uso down there than
here.
All the local managors are In favor
of good clean baso ball and according to
the dope the handing out of better re
sults In this respect Is expected In th
very Immediate future. Get the playera
acquainted with the fact that rough
tactics aro not In accordance with your
desires and it can easy be obliterated.

Of course, It is rather early with predic

Daley, who ought to know If anyone
does, declares that tho Athletics oro

beat them out. As far as moy ro
concerned thoy think tney ve m ni.....w

causes them concern Is how many games

Chance's new outfielder also volun

"From time to time you hear them aay

Daley. "Don't pay any attention to
that kind of stuff. Thoso old boys will

has been troubled with tonsllltls, and
Plank has been troubled with a sore
arm. But Connie has a couple of
pitchers who will carry the team along
until they get right.
"With that uunch of sluggers. Mack
doesn't need any pitchers. Furthermore,
they always got the breaks. I don t '-are,
what they tVy they always gt away wl h
It. if the Yanks had their luck they ii
be up In the fight. I never saw a luck
ler team than Mack's."
Tho Tigers have spurted to the front
lately, but this has caused Mack no
alarm. Daley says that Mack can't ree
the Tigers as winners. Mack admits the
Detroit team Is better than It was last

"Boston got off to a poor start, says
Daley, "but they're going better now.
If the Athletics meet with any disaster
