THE SEASON’S AVERAGES.–Those clubs located in the country, who propose making up the averages of their playing members for the past season, should adopt the following rules. None but those who have taken part in the first-nine contests should be included in the list, and the scores of no matches not regular contests between club and club should be recorded. First, write down the names of the players; then the number of matches played in; then the number of outs, and the average and over to a match; then the runs and average, closing with the number of games played in which no runs were scored. We shall give the averages of all clubs–members of the National Association, none others–who have played five first-nine matches and over during the season. We shall commence these averages after Thanksgiving Day. New York Sunday Mercury November 1, 1863.
