The Beals may have the leading pitchers of the league, but the Beavers hit them for a grand average of .302. Not so bad for a second-division club! Art Griggs made his average soar like the H. C. L-, hitting .600 for the week. He also added a homer to his string and a bunch of stolen bases. Ken "Williams and Charley Hollocher were two of the regulars who soaked the ball over .400, with Dennie Wilie chasing along with a .385 average. The best part of Dennie's hitting was that the bingles came opportunely. The Beavers" averages for the last week follow: At bat. Hits. Avr.

Salt Lake, and then return home for a four weeks' stay. First, the Angels will be entertained, then Oakland, then Vernon, and Salt Lake last. The Beavers will play a eight-game series against Vernon, a double-header being on the bill for next Monday, La bor day. a The Seals presented to us last week three of the fastest lead-off men on the Coast. Fitzgerald's speed is known to all the fans, for the little outfielder first broke into the game out here as a Beaver1 and startled the fans by steal ing home and breaking up a tie game. Pick is the leading base stealer of the league, and this fact alone vouches for his speed in getting down to first base. Calvo Is another fast man. The lit tle Cuban covered as much ground dur ing the week as a flivver. He robbed the Beavers of many a base hit. Far mer being the biggest sufferer. . The hitting of Tobin, Ryan, Sheeley and Hannah, of Salt Lake, is commen cing to make a regular race out of the Coast League. They have put the Bees in second place and only five games behind the league leaders. The Angels tangle with the Seals this week and the Bees meet the Oaks. If the dope runs true to form, the Bees should take the series, while the Seals will have a hard time beating the Angels.
