SLUMP IN BATTING Pitchers Have Coast League Sluggers Puzzled. FEW GAIN IN AVERAGES Johnson Ha Advanced 40 Points, While Danzig and Madden Have Kept Above 300 Mark. Basse? on Toboggan. The pitchers of the Pacina Coast League are getting In their work on the batting averages of the league's slug gers. With few exceptions, all of tha players have sustained a decided fall ing oft in the percentages of several weeks ago. Among the players who have brought their averages up several points, instead of suffering a slump, are Slattery, the Oakland catcher; Easterly, the Angel backstop, and Ote Johnson, Portland's clever all-round player. Easterly and Johnson have made the most decided gains, for both increased their averages over 40 points. Hal Danzig has managed to keep his fig ures above the .300 mark, and so has Tom Madden, but the latter has fallen down from a mark of .834 to .302, while Dansig has gained one point since the last figures were published. These averages include all the games played in the Pacific Coast League up to and including Saturday's contests. According to the figures. Count Bassey, the hard-hitting . Portland left fielder has sustained the heaviest slump, for he has fallen from a mark .348 to .268. Ryan Is another player who has slumped hard, but during the past week has set out to. regain some of the lost ground. Player, and Club. A B. R H. Av W.

The Oakland Club haa experimented with 11 dif ferent pitchers this season, but none of them has been able to do better than win half his games. Kllllan, who Is credited with .800 per cent, was not found to be classy enough for Van Hal tren, and at the first opportunity he was sold. Bobby Groom leads the Portland t -wirier, in the percentage of games won. but Jesse Garrett is a close second and is coming strong.

Arthur Applln, the English author-ac-or, tells a pretty good story of his intro duction to the unconventional West. He was In Denver, where his wife, Edyth Olive, was appearing In "The Great Di vide" at one of the theaters. Applin de termined to take a shooting trip th.-ough the Rockies and he went into a gun store to buy the necessary paraphernalia. The clerk was himself an enthusiastic sports man and he showed his customer the photograph of a fine black bass weighing more than six pounds, that he had caught. Also he urged the Englishman to go to the taxidermist's, only a block or two away, and see the fish, which had been "set up." When Applin had finished his purchases, the clerk called to him as he was leaving the store: "Now, don't you forget to go and have a look at that black bass of mine, and I will go up to the theater and have a look at your wife." Teheran Is Waking up. Kansas City Journal. Teheran, the center of the civil war now raging in Persia, has within the last 20 years undergone the most rapid transformation of all Oriental cities. Since the old four-mile wall was taken down and ditch filled up to form a broad boulevard, gas, tramways and telegraphs have modernized the ancient birthplace of Haroun-al-Raschid. To preserve the character of the city, how ever, the old pits that tap the sub terranean water-courses, on which all local life depends, are still as they were centuries ago.
