NTERING upon the final week of the season, the games played
day find Dave Robertson still on top in the Southern League bat
ting list, with a lead of five points over Harry Welchonce, and every
prospect of copping the Pose medal for swatting. Harry, however, has
made several hits since that day and has set a new record for total hits
in one season, which is something of an achievement in itself.
Atlanta’s other record-breaker. Tommy Long' continued to add to his
record-breaking string of runs, boosting it far above the hundred mark.
Rivington Bisland’s batting average has mounted above the .300 mark,
and that, taken with his marvelous fielding, stamps him as one of the most
brilliant performers this league evar has seen.
Following are the figures on players batting 200 or better, including
the games Tuesday:

PLACE IT TOP
OF HUDLERS
V 5TERAN BILL PROUGH has
the honor of leading the South
ern League pitchers, topping
both Conzelman and Coveleskie by a
good margin. Prough has managed
to keep the lead for most of the race
and deserves much credit for his con
sistent work.
The Birmingham hurler has left the
slab a winner on twenty-three oc
casions. But six games were lost by
Prough. Conzelman has won eleven
games with four defeats chalked up
against him. Coveleskie had downed
his opponents twenty-seven times.
The big Pole has lost ten games.
Following are the figures including
Wednesday’s games:

SHAW JOINS NATIONALS.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—Jim Shaw,
the left-hand twirlcr whom Griffith
planted with the York (Pa.) club and
over whose services two or three clubs
have been quarreling, is expected to join
the Senators here when they return this
week. He will probably be used in the
near future, having made a great record
with York.
THIS SEASON
W HEN the curtain Is rung down
next month, ending the
American League season,
Walter Johnson will probably be
hailed as the greatest pitcher of all
time. The big Washington hurler has
already won 30 games this season,
and If he continues to work at his
present clip he should have nearly
40 games chalked up to his credit
when the season ends.
But seven teams have defeated the
tall blond so far this year. His great
work has done more to keep Wash
ington in the first division than the
combined work of the entire pitching
staff.
Chief Bender, Connie Mack’s In
dian slabman, is second in the list.
He Is followed by Houck, Wood and
Falkenberg.
These figures Include games played
Wednesday:
Player, Club.
Johnson, Washington
Bender, Philadelphia.
Houck, Philadelphia.
