SOME BASE BALL RECORDS.
Standing of Clubs and Individuals In
National League Race.
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.

The Giants are expecting to give a trial

have an extra man to All in at that place.

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.

PREPARING FOR THE RACE.
Getting th Hefsaders Hull la Sbaps for
the Contest.
New York. Bept. 1. 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. John Young, of Brook
lyn, who was to have boxed Joe Flaherty,
of Lowell, at New London, Conn., Mon
day night, flunked out of the match.
Itslle Pearoe, of Philadelphia, takes
Young's place. The management of the
Sea Isle, N. J., Athletic club, has offered
a purse' for Leslie and Owen Zelgler at a
date to be named later.
GENERAL SPORTING, NOTES.
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. -

According to a dispatch from St Louis,

riders, have been suspended, sending an
Investigation. It ta contended that the

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.

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-

collided with a telegraph pole on Main
avenue and the horse fell. It was then
captured. The buggy was completely
demolished. A crowd of girls nar
rowly escaped the flight ot the run
away. Debating Society Tonight.
Many of our great public men have
become great partly through the In
fluences of a good, live debating so
ciety. 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. 'Every West Side
young man of good repute and a desire
for better things is eligible to member
ship, and encouragement, not ridicule,
will be given by the older members to
all who Join. The meetings are public,
and are held In the West Side library,
on fiouth Main avenue, near Scranton
street. The first meeting of this season
will be held this evening. The public
Is always at liberty to attend.
Miscellaneous Notes.
In Saturday's and Monday's Issue of
The Tribune all news on religious
topics are printed In a special depart
ment. Judge and Mrs. Edwards and Frank
lin Howell will leave Liverpool for this
country on Sept. 10 on the steamer
Servla. A few weeks ago Mrs. Ed
wards sprained an ankle while step
ping from a train at Cardiff. Since
that time the lady has been obliged to
use crutches, and has suffered much
pain from the mishap.
The official floiicultural expert of the
Sunday Free Press devotes much space
in yesterday's Issue In correcting the
local papers In their designation of the
night blooming "cereus." He says
that "cactus" would be better. Thanks!
