Averages of tlie Richmond Baseball Team.

In forty-four of the forty-six game the Richmond baseball team has played, not including the one Tuesday at Portland, the team has a fielding average of only .880 and the almost invisible batting average of .221. These averages show that the team is lamentably weak in both departments of the game. Of the 44 games played, 25 have been victories, 18 defeats and 1 a tie. Fleming and Moore do not lead the iitchers according to the figures, but these two twlrlers In reality have the best records, having been pitted against the strongest teams Richmond has met. Wlltermood Is the premier batter of the club. The little fellow, despite a very game leg, which tortures him every time he plays. Is the only player batting In the select -'J00 class. In the twenty-one games he has played with the locals, Wlltermood has hit at a .314 clip. In the rough left field he has fielded .833. Justice was Just a few points shy of the .300 mark at the time of his Injury Saturday and was going at a rate that bid fair to land him along slde'of Wlltermood In short order. Justice shows a batting average of .201, and a fielding overage of .800. Jim Cameron is the third best slugger on the team. Jim is slugging along at a .273 clip and is fielding .006. As long as he can keep this clip up, Cameron will have no difficulty in ranking with the best of the first sackers in the Independent belt. Manager Jessup is hitting at a, .242 rate and has the magnificent fielding average of .000. The remainder of the players are batting under.220. This dope is taken from the averages which have just been compiled by Official Score Keeper, V. V. Reller. All games played by the locals are Included in the Individual averages, except the first game of the season at Portland and one at Kokomo. The averages are as follows: BATTING AVERAGES.

Portland scored her first run in the third when John Brambaugh. drew a base on balls off Fisher, Grey sacrificed, and Wagner hit, bringing in Brambaugh. All went well again until the sixth, when Wlltermood. Ritter and Minzler did the Alphonse-Gaston stunt to perfection, allowing a small pop to fall between them untouched. This bobble was responsible for two runs, as Durham, who formerly carried a Richmond trademark, walked Jonas Brambaugh hit safe to center. Harms walking. Hunt then hit the pop which looked decidedly easy, but Wiltermood. Ritter and Minzler allowed it to drop to the ground untouched. Portland, Just to show Richmond she could

MEETING

PROPOSED

FOR FRIDAY NIGHT

Matters in Reference to Base

ball League Will Come Up at That Time.

SIX CLUBS INTERESTED.

MANAGER JESSUP IS STILL

SEARCHING FOR PLAYERS AND IS ESPECIALLY IN NEED OF PITCHERS.

Final arrangements for the organi

zation of a base ball league to include Richmond, Portland, Bluffton, Decatur, Hartford City and Van Wert, O.,

will be made Friday evening of this

week. The meeting of the managers

of the clubs in the proposed league will be held in Indianapolis in the office of the sporting editor of the Star.

Manager Jessup Tuesday evening

communicated over the long distance

phone with A. R. Kling, who is sporting editor of the Star, and asked bira

to assist in the organization of the

league. Manager Jessup stated that

on Friday Van Wert would play in

Richmond and that he and Manager Hubbard of the Van Wert team could

go to Indianapolis that evening if the meeting is held then. Mr. Kling was asked to communicate with the managers of the Bluffton, Portland, Hartford City and Decatur teams and arrange to have them present on that evening. Kling stated that he would

do so and that he would do any thing else in his power to make the league a go.

The manager of the Hartford City

team is as anxious to get his team a

berth in a good league and when

be was approached by Manager Hunt

of the Portland club with a proposition to enter the league, he lost no

time in giving his consent.

No Beds of Roses. Managers of independent teams do

not rest on beds of roses and the

managers of the teams to compose

the proposed league realize the advantage such an organization will be

to them. It win mean in the first place that the players under contract to each team will be obliged to remain with the club. If any kangaroo tactics are attempted the player will be blacklisted from organized base

ball by the national commission. In the second place the fans in each city 1

will better patronize their teams as the Interest in a league race is all-

absorbing. In the third place all the

teams will be equally balanced as to

strength and every game played in

each city in the league will be a good

one. This will be especially pleasing

to Richmond fans who have had to witness games with such teams as

the Columbus White Sox, several poor

Indianapolis and Cincinnati outfits

and other equally "punk" organiza

tions.

Searching for Players. Manager Jessup in preparation for

this league is searching with a fine

tooth comb for players who will

strengthen the local team, especially

In the batting department. One or two new Infielders will be secured and two new outfielders. It Is possible

that Fisher will be switched back to the pitching staff to assist the gallant Flemine. who now constitutes the

i entire pitching staff. One and perhaps two -other citchers will be se-

HARTFORD CITY TAKE TRIP. Independent Team Has a Number of Hard Games. Hartford City, Ind., July 17 Hartford City's baseball team will leave August 5 on a week's trip. The club will play at Lebanon Aug. 5 and 6; at Frankfort 7 and 8, and either at Richmond or Kokomo Aug. 9 and land will be here Thursday and Friday. The Bluffton management has reconsidered its hasty action in canceling all the games with Hartford City because two of their players who formerly played here quit and came here.
