Still Leads the Van. - Scanning the comparative tables of averages for the past two weeks, shows that the City League teams as a whole, are settling down to a better grade of ball, which comes naturally as the different squads get more prac tice together, and the individuals get their batting optica trajned and their joints limbered. The .300 hitter class received three additional recruits as a result of last Saturday's games, the list this week showing. 18 embroyo Tycobbs hitting this clip or better. Neither Waddill nor Fillyaw. who head the battinr list this week; par ticipated in lastSaturday's events, the former having been in only one game, while Fillyaw has seen service In three games. Eliminating these contestants for lack of continuity of service, leaves the top round occupied by Bos well, of the -Iafantry, and Jones and Houston, of the Association team, tied for first honors with a showing of .437, these players having participat ed in every game that has been plav ed. Jones dropped off from the .600 round, and Houston ascended from the .385 mark as a result of.. their activ ities in Saturday' battles. . 1 The Association team, league lead ers, still maintain their leaf at both the batting and fielding game, al though their percentage shows a slight falling off at both ends, white each of the three other clubs were making the most of their opportunities and in creased their club batting and fielding considerably. The Giants showed the greatest spurt at the batting stunt, having risen from .204 to .229, dis placing the Light Infantry as second Best swatters of the pill.
