N - J WHVCH V Vf ACROSS, THE COUNTER L* SATURDAY EVENING, ' Grant/and Jiice Copyright, 1917, The Tribune Association (New York Tribune). a A correspondent desires to know whether or not Billy Sunday ever batted - above .300. [1 He did. 11 Thirty years ago this season Billy joined in the greatest attack upon a pitchers ever known in the history of baseball. The pitching forces of the s game have never received such a mighty mauling as they did in 1887. This >' was the year wherein Bill reached the classic height of .359, the best mark " he ever knew. '• This was also the year wherein no less than 112 men in three major - leagues batted above .300, and seventeen of these went on beyond .400 in [• the daily fus'illades tossed into the pitcher's box. i Figure out 112 men batting .300 or better, where last year only twenty - men in the two majors reached this select corner in the province of swat, t There were almost as many .400 hitters in 1887 as there were .300 hitters in 1916 —or as there will be .300 hitters when the 1917 campaign is concluded. 1887, Billy Sunday's star season on the field, smashed all records for t heavy artillery, and Bill contributed his quota with dashing effect. The l batsmen that season hung up an unbroken curtain of fire around pitching mounds and shattered all the fences in range. i Here are a few 1887 marks worth casual observation: 1 O'Neil. St. I manager of the Milwaukee American Association baseball club, who is , charged with shooting and killing ) Clarence Euell, a negro waiter at * the English Hotel cafe, remained | locked lip in a cell at Central police ) station yesterday. The police were ) searching for a woman who was said 1 to have been with Shay at the time ) of the shooting, but they have found _no trace of her since she disap j peared during the hubbub. s The trouble leading to the shoot ing is said to have started over the . amount of sugar in the bawl on the table at which Shay was sitting. , Shay first made his objection to .a colored bus boy and then to Euell. . The latter, it is said, obtained two sugar bowls from near-by tables and 5 placed them before the ballplayer. I it was following that the shoot ing took place, i) Shay was sent to polce headquar- B ters and Euell to a hospital, where i he died an hour later. Shay has j refused to make any kind of a state ; ment, other than when shown the re •J volver to say that it looked like his weapon, and to assert that the _ waiter called hini a vile name. lie _ has not admitted that a woman was lt with him, although the police ques i| tioned him closely on this subject. . There were no other diners In the ; cafe at the time. [ BRITISH DESTROY Kit SUNK London, May 5.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH CLUB STANDING SHOWS CHANGES OVER LAST YEAR; EASTERN CLUBS IMPROVE New York, May 5. A number of marked changes in the standing of the major league clubs at the end of the month of April, as compared with the rating of a year ago. are shown by a comparison of the standing of the leagues on May 1, for the past and present seasons. In the National League a year ago the Philadelphia club was leading with IJrooklyn sec ond and Chicago third. Of the trio only Chicago lias held its place for Philadelphia was fourth and Brooklyn last at the beginning of the present month. Twelve months ago Boston was fourth. St. Louis fifth, and Cincinnati sixth in the senior league flag race. This season Boston was fourth, St. Louis second, while Cincinnati still held sixth place. Pittsburgh failed to improve her position, being ing last, led the league. Leaders \oiv In Cellar Washington was out in front in the Johnson circuit last year but was last on May 1 this season. Detroit, Bos ton and Cleveland were all tied foi second place in 1916. The race twelve months later showed Boston leading, Detroit seventh and Cleveland fifth. New York was fifth and Chicago sixth last season and both improved their rating this spring, being third and second respectively In the 1917 drive. Philadelphia, sixth in this vear's struggle was last in 1916, anil St. Louis held fourth place a few days ago while the standing of last sea son showed the club holding seventh place. As a result it can be seen that of the four Eastern clubs the New York Nationals is the only combination to improve its standing, going from last to first place, while the four western teams have either held their own or bettered their positions over those of the past year. In the American League three of the four Eastern GAMES FREE TO ALL SOLDIERS IN U. S. SERVICE All soldiers in uniform, in service of the United States, will be admitted free to ball games at Island Park. This announcement has been made by Secretary Frank Seiss of the Har risburg Club.

He said: "We are going to be just as pa triotic in Harrisburg as baseball backers in other towns. Uniformed soldiers from the army or navy, now on duty, are welcome to all home games. This includes men who may be home on furloughs." The local secretary returned from Elmira In order to take up plans for the opening program.
