Highlander Infielder Has Batting Average of .370—Holderman and Miller High Up.
By Ralph H. White.
Three Highlanders are hitting .300 or better in the Central league, with Joe Mathes the best of the trio. The second sacker's average is .370, just eight points shy of "Deerfoot" Spencer's figure. And Spencer, we all know, is leading the league. Ths other "charmed circle" Highlanders are Jake Holderman and Tom Miller. The former is mauling the agate at a .324 clip and the latter has boosted his mark up to .319.
In all, there are fifteen batamen in the select set. But two of the number are members of the Dayton Yets— Spencer and Warner.- South Bend has four in the inner circle—Donnelly, Koehler, Bowman and Bashang. The figures of the .300 batsmen can be found elsewhere on this page.
Of the other members -of the clan, Charlie French is doing the best wlork. His average is .259. "Lefty" Gilbert follows with .249, with "Dolly" Gray two notches below, .247. The others are clouting as follows:
Wagner, .243 La Ross, .232 Cramer, .227 Mitchell, .224 Gygll, .197, and Schettler, .171.
YANKEE BOSS PINED $100.
PHILADELPHIA. Pa., July 8.— President Ban Johnson of the American league Is waging war on all disturbers of the peace. Managers and star players alike come in for punishment. Ty Cobb was the first to get the tinware and now Wild Bill Donovan, leader of the Yanks, has been fined* $100 for sending his trainer into the /upper pavilion at Shibe park last Saturday to wallop a noisy spectator. Jimmy Duggan, the trainer, also "got his," and was suspended for ten days for delivering the punch.
The mixup came in the game 'between the Athletics and the Yankees. Walter B. Shive, who had a seat in the upper pavilion, yelled down to Donovan, telling the Yank manager something about his early history.
Duggan was delegated to visit punishment upon Shive. The trainer crept quietly upon his prey and gently placed his fist against Shive's face to emphasize his argument. Duggan was ejected by an usher, then ordered out of the park by John Shibe.

GEORGE BAUM GARTNER.
ST. LOUIS, July 8.—George Baumgartner, the St. Louis Browns' pitcher, was recently booked to go to Little Rock and try life in the minors. But George declared up and down he didn't want to go and wouldn't go. So he was offered a contract at 575 a month to stay with the Browns, providing he would behave. The $75 was quite a bit less than the $200 he had been offered if he'd go to Little Rock, but George said he'd rather play ball in the big leagues at $1 a day than go to the minors at a million per.
Baumgartner is one of^the quaint characters of the game. He has all sorts of brilliant stuff apd if he could be "made to work in a regular fashion he'd be one of the winning pitchers of the league. But he seems to have too care-free a temperament and is happy enough just to be around, traveling from town to town, chasing grounders along the side lines, and going fishing whenever he has t,he p^ood,

Snodgrass robbed Packard of a nohit game yesterday when he busted a single, the only hit off the Cubs' southpaw. But the Cubs won, 1 to 0, so what's the difference? Allen was also in good form, holding the winners to four hits. A brace of doubles in the eighth, however, prevented an overtime affair.
An eighth inning rally netted the Braves three runs and gave them a 5 to 2 victory over the Giants. Jacobs held to six hits, while Anderson was touched up for eight by the winners. Max Carey was the star, getting a double and homer, and scoring three of the five runs.
The Dodgers overcame two Cincy leads in vesterday's game, winning out in th*e ninth. 4 to 3. The Reds were out ift front, 3 to 2, until the final frame. Pfeffer held the Reds to four hits, while Knetzer allowed the Robins but Seven.

TERRE HAUTE TRIBUNE,
HIGHLANDERS OF
Rasmussen Unequal to Task of Holding Raiders and First Place —Scor-3, 4 to 1.
By Ralph H. White.
Unaccustomed to such a high altitude as the top-most perch, those Highlanders of ours tumbled downward in the second Central league chase of the season at the yard yesterday afternoon by losing to the Raiders, 4 to 1.
But don't discourage, you fans who hope for and anticipate great deeds. True, a defeat is a defeat, but Boss Rufus Gilbert used a couple of "helping hands" so as to give his two-man staff, composed of Cramer and Ainsworth, a needed rest and the upset can be attributed to that fact. And pitted against the clan, too, was Bill Essick's best bet, one Steve Melter.
So one can readily understand that the Highlanders' full strength wasn't in the first line trenches and the Raiders accomplished the rout because of that fact. Those "helping hands" mentioned above were "Slats" Rasmussen and Cal Crum.
Yet, as a matter of fact, Crum wm every bit as classy, as Melter Inasmuch as the enemy didn't score during his sojourn on the hill, but the damage had already been accomplished, Rasmussen suffering a "Jack Dillon" wallop in the third stanza. It was in the fourth, however, that "Slats" became a bench warmer and it was in that chapter, too, that the Highlanders registered their lone credit, a stylish double steal turning the trick.
Hits were eleven to five, with six of the lucky number chalked up against Rasmussen. Two bobbles also figured along with those half-dozen bingles, while Melter*s support was sparkling from cover to cover.
But today the result promises to be different. "Red" Ainsworth Is due with his sturdy right whip and all indications point to an upward shoot. Let's go!

BEARCAT TO GRAB ALL RICH PURSES
DILLON WILL ACCEPT ALL OFtERS IN SIGH!
Indianapolis .Battler Not to:Remain Idle While Going Is Good— Returns Home.
INDIANAPOLIS, July S.—Jack Dillon returned home yesterday after his recent triumphs over Frank Moran and Jim Flynn. The battler and Manager Sam Murbarger came in from Oklahoma, where Jack knocked out Flynn July 4. Dillon does not show a mark of his encounters and shows the same good condition that he did when he fought Moran.
Manager Murbarger said that Dillon had received a number of lucrative offers since defeating Moran and that he had accepted one, with Battling Levinsky at Baltimore July 11. The bout will be a scheduled 15-round affair and a decision will be given.
Dillon does not intend to remain idle no more than necessary. He is going ahead and earning the money while he is in such splendid Bhape and the promoters are so anxious to match him. Regarding a trip io Australia, Dillon will not hesitate if Promoter Baker offers sufficient inducements.
Gus Christie has come In for much special attention since he trained with Dillon in Brooklyn and since his cleancut victory over the Zulu Kid there. Gus has been a consistent winner lately and promoters are beginning to take notice. He will go back to Cleveland July 23 to meet George Chip iagaln. It is said.
COLLEGE "ALL STARS" EASY.
Prove Pie for State Normal Team In 11-4 Fracas. By Edgar L. Morphet.
The College All-Stars or, apparently, more properly, the "ex-Stars,7 were easily defeated by the State Normal summer varsity nine, at Parsons field, Saturday afternoon by the score of 11 to 4. Several of the college men who were slated to perform apparently got cold feet at the last moment and failed to show upk and this fact likely accounts for the easy victory for the Normalites. As it was, 'VBuck" Donnelly had to go to the slab, where he didn't do such a bad job at that. He decided, however, that he had had enough of it during the last half of the seventh so the game had to be called. "Cy" Smith, twirling for the Teachers, was in good form and held the "demon sluggers" to five safeties. Bayh, Flint, Clark and Fellmy, of the Teachers, each came in for a double and a single, while Powers, Olinger and Matthews also connected. Donnelly and Reynolds, of the losers, secured two bingles each, while Shockel made the other one. Score: All-Stars 0 030100— 4 5 4 State Normal .2 0 0 4 0 5 xi—11 11 5
