A Iff* 11 NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS Atlanta is satisfied with tho bnsebail averages, even if she did get them one day later than several other cities in the league. The official count gives Atlanta the leading batter, Sid Smith; the leading pitcher, TomHughes, and & lot of minor honors. Smith, with his marvelous showing of .326 in 134 games, makes cli the other batters look like jokes. Winters was well toward the top with .287. Tommy Hughes made monkeys of the other pitchers with .833 for a per cent. The rest of the bunch traded, with the “Dutch Boy” of Memphis second. .Zeller was sixth among the pitchers. ■■HBMBMBMMBWaMMHEMGHUMHMaEi Walthour Beat Guignard in Motor Paced Race Tuesday ilughca S3 spark* 21 Zeller 42 Bobby Walthour won hi* Chri*tmaa •lay race from Oulgnard, the 'record* breaking Frenchman, at the local Col iseum Tuesday afternoon.
