LEAGUE BATTING
LIST UNCHANGED
E. McCloskey Still Leads but
Margin Is Cut—Parma
koff Is Close to Top.
Relative positions of batters in
the City League remained virtually
unchanged last week, accordnig to
averages made public today by
League officials. Of the player
who have been in games most of
the reason, E. McCloskey, J. Mc
Clo'kcy and Parmakoff occupy that,
second and third places respectively.
Nominally Bobby Coughlin is in
oecond place with an average of
.500 but his record i lcr only a
dingle game. 'Gene MeCloskey’s av
erage, although over 100 points
higher than Jim's, and Parmakolf's,
took another big slump, falling from
.609 to .538. Jim McCloskoy's
dropped from .4 4 4 to .4 29. Parma
koft's jumped from .400 to .421 and
he is giving Jimmy a real contest
for second place. Woodard was the
only on1' of the old players to climb
into the .300 class during the week,
nicking a gain of 80 points and
boosting his average from .268 to
.348.
The averages for the League up
to the end of last week follow:

COMEDY BALL GAME IS
STAGED AT CITY PARK
In a one-sided niixup, mistakenly
labelled a has: hull Kama hy a hilari
ous fan, a local team last night wal
loped the sailor team from the Kx
plorer In six Innings of weird play
by a score of 1T to !i. It could bav ■
been more but f(he boys got tired
and called it a day.
Hermanson. who started on th ■
mound for the dragnet boys, lead ;
fine groove ball that found the bat
of thp locals no matter where th“V
held them. By quick and clever foot
work, his infield managed to escape
injury from the groundhit balls
that traveled across the diamond with
rocketlike speed.
Oh Man Bill Fry went lo ill > res
cue of the gobs in the fourth and
was nicked for two hits before th
locals found out who was in the
box. After that Fry had no trou
hie. It was a good comedy game
tor the fans and as long as the col
lection p’ate wasn’t passed no do
1 mands wpre made on the box office

. CHICAGO. — Cotton stocking*)
cool, comfortable and economical,
i are the foundation of a club formed
i, by a group of young girls bent on
saving the money usually spent on
eilk stockings, to be spent on holi
day pleasures during their vaca
tions. _
i The Cotton Stocking dob was
organized by Miss Nancy Nelson,
10W N. Massaaoit avenue: Miss
Helen Waywood, 1818 N. Kedvmle
avenue; Miss Muriel Williams, 2542
W. Harrison street, and Miss Signe
Olson, 1327 N. Ridgeway aveiwie
Tbe4Merence in cost between eot
iton silk stockings for a sum
mer's supply will rent a canoe for
ftbe term of a vacation; it will hire
ta saddle horse a good many times;
fit will do something about golf
irintm smk^ennia.ranquetii; and buy
mi orange sweater. Since the cot
ton 8 toe kings look better with sum
mer sports clothes than ordinary
silk stockings, there is no sacrifice
involved. The girls of the club
wear the shaped in the weavir ’
bose that do not sag at the ankles
and which, having no seam at the
back never rip soddenly at embar
rassing moments far from needle
and thread.
Requirements for membership
are vows made in the dark of the
moon that the member will not
wear anything but cotton stock
ings from the day she joins the
club until her vacation ia over.
Those who have been living op to
this vow for several weeks are cer
tain that never will they discard
the cotton hose.
"You know," said Idas Nelson,
the leader of the group, “there are
other things to save money for
sides vacations and we may make
our organisation permanent. Cot
ton stockings are very cool and
light, and anyone can see that they
are very good looking. All Chi
cago girls who work are eligible
for membership and members are
coming in as fast as they can ba
registered. I am sure other citiea
and towns will follow when the
girls discover how much money we
save, how comfortable we are, and
how trim and pretty our ankles
look.”

one navy officer. "Nothing will be
(lone in regard to Goat Island until j
the Alameda -ito has been definitely
assured by Congress. However, the
main factor for a naval base Is good
railroad supply facilities, and it is
obvious that Goat Island f ills short
of tho fundamental requirement.'' ■
Tlie virtual abandonment of Goat
Island by the navy has brought
forth the suggestion that the bay
islet be used ae a terminus for trans-^
continental railroads. The railroad
ntoles run out into the bay Within
two miles of the island today, and I
the water between the end of the ‘
present moles and the island Is
uniformly shallow',-railroad officials
point, out. Approximately two miles
would bo cut off the ferry ^rip be
tween tho Oakland moles and San
Francisco if Goat Island were used
as a terminus, railroad men ntnto.
However, naval officials say that
no one railroad will be given a mon
opoly of Goat Island In is
thrown open to the transportation
companies. All railroads ^vjtill be
given an equal right to ^se Uie
island as a terminal bane. Tint, the
Island could not be used as a rail
road terminus If the navy use
