A study of base ball records accord ing to percentages will reveal as many surprises as a comparative review of statistics on the tariff, population, commerce or any other matter of busi ness. Here aro some figures and com parisons: Philadelphia leads the league tn batting as a club.percentage, .317. Baltimore Is second with a very close mark of .316, then follows Cincinnati, Now York, Chicago, Cleveland, Pitts burg, Boston, Brooklyn, St. Louis, Washington and Louisville. A glance at the fielding averages of teams shows considerable variation from the order given in the above lint of batting averages. Baltimore Is flrnt In fielding, Brooklyn second, with Bos ton, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Cincinna ti, Pittsburg, St. Louis, New York, Chi cago, Washington and Louisville fol lowing In the order given. Louisville has the unenviable distinction of being last in batting, fielding and club stand ing. A combination of batting and fielding averages will probably Indicate the po sitions of 'the clubs in tha league race. A comparative table of the records of all players who have participated In twenty games or more shows the following Individuals to be leaders In their positions: Catchers, Robinson, Baltimore: first !ase, O. Tebeau, Cleve land; second base, MoPhee, Cincinna ti; third base, Collins, Louisville; short stops, Jennings, Baltimore; left fielder, Kelly, Baltimore; center fielder, Wright. Louisville; right fielder. Dona van, Pittsburg; pitchers, Hotter, Bal timore. Of the leaders of the nine po sitions, Baltimore has four of them. D, Clark, of Louisville, has a batting per centage of .418 In twenty-seven game played. Lange, of Chicago, ninety three games, percentage .411, and Burkett, of Cleveland, 103 games, per centage, .408. Although Clark has the record, Burkett I really first In bat ting. It Is Interesting to note that our own Jennings Is first among the shortstops, tenth In batting and withal I playing with the prospective pennant winner. D1AMOMP DUST. Jimmy Ryan Is beginning to hit the ball n fine style after a long relapse. ' Sure Mike" Tlernan, who has been out or the game because of Illness, is again In the harness. Roger O'Connor, who retired from the St. Louis club about a month ago, ha signed with it again.

The Giants are expecting to give a trial to a young third baseman named Leonard, who has been playing for th Peterson cjufo. Oeorge Davis' arm seems to be get ting worse, and It Is deemed advisable to have an extra man to All in at that place. The Phillies have signed a new Inflelder formerly with the Roanoke team of tha Virginia State league, who play either second or short.

TK0TTBKS GO WEST AND SOUTH Atoto Seat to Galesburg. III., Where This Week He Msy Make aa Effort to Heat the World's Roeord-Meeting Proved a Very Saeossaful On. Fleetwood Park, Sept. 1. A handful of horsemen and members of the Driv ing club witnessed the wind-up of the grand circuit trotting meeting at Fleet wood park Saturday. The postponed 2.27 class, four heat of which were trotted on Friday, was the only contest remaining unfinished, and most of th spectators who had seen Lake Erie out act Captain White and outlast Belle Truxton on the previous day believed that the race was a pretty sure thing for the son ot Cadmus Hambletonian. Captain White had shown more speed than any other horse in the party, trot ting a long mile around the entire field In 'the second heat and finishing In 2.15. Captain White won the race in 2.17V&. Most of the horses that took part In the grand olrcult meetings were shipped yesterday to Qalesburg and Philadel phia, where two notable trotting meet ings are to be held this week. The Salisbury stable with the peerless trot ter Azote returned to the west. It Is not unlikely that the big horse will start to beat the world's record at Qalesburg this week, and everybody who witnessed his two splendid per formance here la of the opinion that Allx will no longer by the champion If Asote start under favorable conditions. Hamlin Stable Qoea to Louisville. The Hamlin stable will be shipped to Louisville today, where dtobert J.. Nightingale and the other will enjoy a week' letup, preparatory to starting there next week. '.Robert J. Is entered in the 35,000 free-tor-all st the Ken tucky town with his old rivals. John R. Oentry and Joe Patchen, as the other starters. .After the Louisville meeting the champion pacer will be taken to Fort Wayne, and then to Terre Haute and Lexington. Geers says the little fellow la fast regaining his best form, and the Village Farm trainer hopes to drive him a mile In two minutes yet this season. Joe Patchen and John R. Gentry are to pace a series of exhibition races, be ginning next Wednesday at Belmont Park, Philadelphia, and continuing after the Ixulsvllle meeting at Du buque and Sioux City, Iowa. Robert J. will not start in these exhibition con tests, but the trio will probably come together again at Lexington in Octo ber in the free-for-all class. The Driving club, of New York, cleared something like $10,000 on the best Grand Circuit trotting meeting that has ever been held In New York, showing pretty conclusively that har ness racing can be successfully carried on under the new antl-gambllng laws in this state. The sport was, for the most part clean and brilliant, and the speed average was simply dazallng for Fleetwood, far surpassing all records made In 'the past. . All told, fifty-four heats were trotted and paced In an average of 2.31, while the track record was twice lowered, and a new champion among trotters was uncovered. Summary of the Race.

The Defender at tracted thousands of people to Erie basin, where she was dry-docked this morning to have her bronxe hull put In shape for th coming contest with Valkyrie III for the blue ribbon of the sea. The Manganese bronse under her body waa in very good condition, but men worked at It all day polishing the metal with sand paper and filing down bolt heads until It presented a per fectly smooth surface and shone In the sunlight like burnished gold. The boom does not look to be half as heavy aa the lighter one of the two which Dunraven's boat has used. As hollow steel booms were first used In England, and the fact that Valkyrie was to have one, was kept secret until almost the last moment, the Yankee Ingenuity which has taken up the Eng lish Idea and vastly Improved upon It In time to fit Defender with boom and gaff far superior to Valkyrie's is to be commended. There were absolutely no signs of In Jury to the hull from the various groundings the Defender had at Hog Island and Newport. The Defender will leave the dock early . tomorrow morning and go to Sandy Hook for a spin. . Young, of Brooklyn. Planked. Boston, Bept. 1.

Peter Jackson will not reply to Peter Maher's challenge. The colored fighter says It to very unlikely that he will ever enter the ring again. Fire at Castleton, James R, and Fox hall P. Keene's stock farm, near Lexing ton, Ky destroyed the Imported stallion Kalllcrates, by Hermit, and Hyder Abad, by Hyder All. The fire burned a new stalMon barn, but all other stallions were saved. Kalllcrates was valued at 83,000 and Hlder Abad at $30,000. The origin ot the Are Is unknown. Those who are in a position to know state that Mike Small, the young Kngllsh bantam, who Is coming to this country to meet Johnny Connors, of Springfield, III., at 106 pounds. Is an exceptionally clever boxer. In England Small has bean placed against a good many worthy lads, and In nearly all of hi contests has displayed rare fighting powers, flmail Is due to reach America by next Saturday. Charley McKeever, th erack Philadel phia lightweight, wishes to go on record as the first boxer to challenge the latest Importation In th championship line from England, Arthur Valentine. Professor John Clark, of Philadelphia, who Is be hind McKeever, says that he can get 11,0(10 to put up against MaKeever If Val entine accept. Clark added that Cham pion Corbett will find tha money. - Kid Lavlgna doe not intend to remain Idle very long.

League of American Wheelmen, and if the charges are proved the chances are that Titus, Cabaan and Murphy may not b seen on the cycle track for some time. The cyclist who ha "bucked" against a stiff wind can easily understand how a big yacht ran bo propelled at the rate ot twelve miles an hour by the breeses of th sea. Exiierlenred tourists do not for get to calculate the wind In planning their trip. Riding in th teeth of a tut blow is not only slow, but disagreeable work, and It Is often wiser to take a train than to attempt it. Then the return trip is a delisht, for the wind adds appreciably to the speed. The etrength of even a moder ate toreese csn best be felt going down hill against It. Sometimes coasting la Impos sible under these circumstance, whil with a favoring wind hill-climbing be come much easier. Amatenr 1111 Notes.

THE PAPER TRADE'S GROWTH. ssarknbl laereas Caused by ta Vs of Wood Fslp. From ths Paper Maker. Nona of th greater Industries of tha country have shown a more remark able growththan that of papermaklng. In 1881 the total dally capacity of all the paper mills of the country was 1.859.380 pounds, whit In 1886 It Is placed at th enormous figure of 14,103, 680 pounds. Th largest factor in causing this tremendous growth was the development of processes for mak ing chemical fibre and wood pulp, en abling the substitution of the tnat terlals for rags, with a consequent large reduction In tha cost of making paper. It Is estimated that tf the use of wood pulp shall continue to Increase at the rate of growth maintained In tha last fifteen years, Ave years hence the consumption of spruce wood for this purpo will aqual ths present out of sprue togs for lumbar In all New Ear land and New York. Tha growth of paper making is on or tha moat alg- ninoaat raet in tn industrial I progress of ta times MASON 11 III JARS 50c. Per Dozen AT Luce Bros. Scranton and Taylor.

The young men of the West Side have an opportunity of member ship In one of these organisations, the Hyde Park Literary Debating society. The value of such a step cannot be measured, and too much interest in this society cannot be given by West Side people. The officers are a number of the older members, well up In parlia mentary usages and sincere In their efforts to better themselves,' as also are the other members. Charles E. House Is president, Wallace O. Moser, vice president, and Arthur Davis, sec retary. In addition an executive com mittee, consisting of C. E. Daniels, At torney John R. Edwards and W. A. Price, look after the paramount Inter ests of the society.
