TNS SPEAKER OREASL HIS BIG BATTING LEAD IN THE AMERICAN LEAGUE. His Figure is .388--The Chicago Cubs Are Hitting a Fast Clip In Tener League. Terrific hitting by the Cubs in the past week put them in the lead in club batting in the National league with .265 and gave them three places among the ten batters doing .300 or Averages published to-day which takes in games played last Wednesday, show Jake Daubert, of rooklyn, still heads the list with .345. Max Carey, of Pittsburg, has resumed the lead in stolen bases, with 18, but in most other departments the Cubs are ahead, Wililams in home runs, with seven, and in total bases with 99, Zimmerman leads in runs scored, with 33, and Flack in sacrifice hits, with 19. The league's .300 hitters are: Daubert, Brooklyn, .345; Schulte, Chicago, .338; Doyle, New York, .333; Zimmerman, Chi- cago, -330; Robertson, New York, .329; Wheat, Brooklyn, .316; Hinch- man, Pittsburg, ,313; Williams, Chi- cago, .306; Wagner, Pittsburg, .303; Chase, Cincinnati, .301. Only seven regulars are better than .300 in the league. Speaker sfill leads with .388, and is ahead in total bases, with 108, and in runs scored, with 43. The unusual sight of a catcher leading the league in stolen bases is shown with Schalk, of Chicago, set- ting the pace, with 14, one ahead of such speedy men as Cobb and Sis- Ter. Graney, Cleveland, leads in home runs, with four, and Gandil, Cleveland, is sacrifice hits, with 16. Detroit is ahead in team hitting, with 25. The .300_ hitters, including only those who have played in at least half the games of their club, are: Speaker, Cleveland, .388; Burns, Detroit, .346; Jackson, Chicago, .337; Cobb, Detroit, .331; Heilman, Detroit, .310; Nunamaker, New York, .308; Smith; Cleveland, .303. hitting American THREE TORONTO PITCHERS Are Performing Well in the Eastern League. Toronto pitchers are now performing in the Eastern League. 'Bunny' Hearne is with the New London team, Harry Lyons with Hartford, and Charley Dye with the Hartford team. managed by Neal Ball. Lyons has finished all of his nine games without requiring assistance, and four of them have been shut- outs," while two others have been one-run games He has lost twice. Hearne has won seven games and lost one for Eugene McCann's New Londons, The game in which he was beaten was a sixteen-inning af- fair, in which Dye was his opponent. Hearne is ready right now for the Leafs, and they could use him to advantage, but is being left in the Eastern League as a "reward" for jumping the Toronto club for the Pittsburg Federals. Dye has been used in rescue roles, and hag pitched few complete games. His control has not been good. Dye is a youngster and a great prospect as a southpaw, 'but he fails to keep himself in the best of condition. Three HAMILTON OPENS SATURDAY, Country Will Race. Over 200, horses are already quar- tered at fhe Hamilton Jockey Club track, waiting the opening of meeting on Saturday next. this number are recent arrivals from Baltimore and Kentucky.

With the ar: rivdl of the stables that are now tak- ing part at Connaught Park over 500 horses will 'be located on the grounds. CRANDALL HAS FINISHED His Career In Major League Base- ball--Goes to Oakland. . Otey Crandall has at last finished his big leagne career. St. Louis has sold him to the Oakland club of the Coast League. There have been few more popular players than Cran- dall, and no man mere useful to his team. Not only could he go in cold from the bench and put the first ball across the rubber, but he could play anywhere. One year he played every position for the Giants except catcher some time during the season. Moreover, he could hit. As a pinch hitter he once walloped New York to victory in a world's series game. Otey is a' prosperous farm owner, and ft would not be surprising if he retires from the game at the close of this season. Crippled Rider Won.

And His Wonderful Base Running, Not To Speak of His Trick Plays And Dazzling Feats. The Baseball Magazine maintains Ty Cobb is the greatest player in the game through his phenomenal bat- ting average. He is the greatest player in the game by virtue of his wonderful base-running: But the things above all others which have stamped him as the true king of players are those trick plays and daz- zling: feats bordering on the miracu- lous which the cold records cannot express. The following is an extract from Cobb's story in the July Base- ball Magazine: There is a tense finality 'in Ty Cobb's conversation which is unique. Other players state opinions, the Georgian gives facts. In the pres- player is the one man who knows absolute ly what he is talking about. For if Ty Cobb hasn't seen a particular play | or tried it himself, or seen it tried, it | has never been and probably never | will be attempted. The Tiger's ex- perience runs the gamut from mere- ly simple plays of everyday occur- rence to those sheer flights of genius which border on the impossible.

On the hit-and-run play almost anybody can do the runing. The thing is to find the man who can fur- nish the hit. Mrs. Mary Holly is suing Eddie Holly, the former 'Toronto short- stop, for a divorce. Holly jumped to the Federal League from the lo- cals and since that time has been on the decline. Otto Knabe, the Phils' former se- cond sacker, has been uncondition- ally released by Manager Jimy Calla- han, of the Pittsburgh team. Calla- han signed Knabe after the season started, and for a while the veteran played brilliantly, but lack of a getting in his best condition, and his work subsequently slumped. Knabe jumped the Phils before the season of 1914 started and took charge of the Baltimore Federeal League club. BOXING GOSSIP.

OVER HALF A MILLION Handled by the Machines at the Dor- val Meeting Over balf a million Dorval meeting or an average of $82,000 a day. The association's commission amounted to well over $30,000--cofisiderably more than the revenue ever derived from the book- makers at any one meeting there. At Blue Bonnets the amount handled was much larger, It might have been even greater still had suitable ac- commodation been provided for the patrons of the Montreal J.C. course in 'this department. n\rainy days the public are shamefully treated, be- ing forced wut in the rain and 'mud in order to 'make a wager on their choice. The new decided improvement, and a little at- tention should now be given to the erection of a pavilion for the protec- tion of those who patronize the "Iron Men." They pay over six per cent. for the privilege of wagering their money, and are surely entitled to some consideration and a little accommodation.

The For- | est City was in the National from '79 to '84, and during the six years the | best the club did was to finish sixth. In 1889 Cleveland Was restored to the National and remained in that | circuit until 1899.

They! were quite sure they were on the right road now, and it was an additional gratification to know that there was {such a good feeling on the part of the horsemen towards them. An evidence was seen in the fact that, in spite-of the bad track; there was not a single horse withdrawn that 'was on the day's programme. FIRST BASEBALL GAME In Hoboken Seventy Years Ago. Last week marked the seventieth anniversary of the first baseball | game between regular clubs, | was played in Hoboken in | 1846. This historic event was per- I mitted to pass unnoticed by the news papers. In fact, it was not until {| 1853 that the press began to pay any attention to what was to become the great American pastime, Early in | that year the New York Sunday Mer- | cury began to publish accounts of ball games. The owner of the sheet, William Cauldwell, was an ardent fan and the pioneer baseball scribe. | A few months later the New York | Clipper took up baseball in its sport- ing department, and the first tabu- | 1ated score was printed in that jour- | nal. Was Played | "Esprit de Corps" in Baseball. "Esprit de corps" is what the | French call the "get-together," each- | for-all and all-for-each spirit, and it is what wing battles--and ball games. It is the absence of "esprit he corps' which wrecks baseball ma- | chines more than anything else, and its presence is what makes a win- | ning club out of seeming second-rat- {ers. The value of this quality was | never better illustrated than at pres- | ent, when clubs doped as also-rans {are among the league leaders, and | others considered invincible, are {among the trailers. | For the Sinn Feiners.
