Paris, July 17. We sincerely hope that some a rangement can be made by which the Western association will, retain the services of W. P. Hill as president? of the league until the end of the pros ent season at' least. He has been of great assistance to all the towns in the league and the Muskogee fans espec tally, appreciate his services rendered in reorganizing the Met olub.

Mr. Hill is very popular around the W. A. circuit "I've seen 'ein all; I've played 'em all and, honestly, they ought to run my olub out of the league. I'm ashamed of my club.

Washington ought to win the American league pennant, but we're In fifth place due to weak hitting." Clark Griffith in Kansas City Star. As the race for tho Western association pennant draws to a close, the race for the batting championship is growing warmer. Nicholson, Dehlson center fielder, took the lead in the batting column this week from Indian Joe Robinson, third Backer for Muskogee. A In lairt week's figures Nicholson with a percentage of .258, when it should have been This was just four points below Robinson's figures of last week. Nicholson gained ton points in the week, getting eight hits In four games he was credited with being 17 times at bat.

On the other hand, Robinson just managod to hold his own, getting five hits In six games in which he was credited with 15 times at bnt. Nicholson and Robinson aro the only players In the circuit to secure 100 hits or moro. Nicholson accomplished the feat in 78 games, whereas it required 90 games for the "Injun" to reach the century mnrk. Either the scorers are getting stingy or the pitchers are more effective, as the number ot .300 hitters continues to decrease. Including Synek of Muskogee, who has played In but 12 games When the figures below were compiled, and Pitcher Kinney of Denlson, there are but seven regulars who are hitting or bettor.

1 This Is the smallest number of heavy hitters on record this year. Pnlmer, Muskogee's shortstop, slipped out of the .300 class in the last week and Is now registered at .296, a IOSB of ten points in a week. Sheffield, heretofore the hardest hitter on the Sherman team, also tumbled out of the .300 class. He fell from .301 to .280. a loss of 21 points.

Sheffield secured but two hits in 15 times up In four games. No .200 hitters went to the .300 class. Of 46 players who have a mark of .250 or better, 22 lost and 18 gained. Tony of Muskogee secured the most hits in the past week. Ho made 12 hits in six games, being credited with 31 times at bat.

Mayo, the Oklahoma City hurler, gained the most points, 76. 400-POUNDER IS AFTER I A CHAMPIONSHIP FAN CROWN OOOOO LEAQTJE STANDINGS. WESTERN ASSOCIATION. Won. Lost.

Roger Bresnahan, manager of the Chicago Cubs, would, abolish coaching from the base lines. He believes that any base runner can, by one glance over his shoulder, tell just where the ball is going and use his own judgment in rounding the bases without once checking speed. Many managers will undoubtedly oppose the adoption of such a rule and among these will be John McGraw and Hughle Jen 'nlngB. The Chicago White Sox are already thinking about their.
