The latest batting averages of the
American league shows that Pat New

batting, hitting a .300 clip. Out of 50
trips to the plate he has lined out 15

player to get Into the .300 batting class

that Newnam is green in the big league

A week' ago D. Aloysius O'Donovan,
who wields the managerial staff in
Douglas Demon town, announced that
a big 'league phenom would arrive in

the Mavericks, and after the Demons
returned home, .the announcement was
made that the epected did not arrive.

WRIGHT AND GILL TO
REMAIN WITH THE TEAM.
"Wright, who has been given his re
lease, has been taken back into the fold
again and will be taken to Cananea
with the El Paso club. Wright will be
given another chance to make good, as
he admits that his batting has been on
the slump but believes that he can pad
his batting average in the Cananea
series sufficient to cinch his place on
the club.
Gill will also go to Cananea with the
Mavericks. He said- Thursday- morning

club for the present and might finish
the season with the locals. He says he
oan go to Philadelphia next year and
he prefers to remain here with the Ei

present season.
