A. Lead Chicago, Aug. 6—()—The Ameri- ‘can League now has a hard hitting trio like the three Pittsburgers of the National League but the three Yankees lack one step of being at the top of the batting column. Al Simmons of the Athletics sits sercne- ly on the throne there, although he thas been on the’bench the past week. Right behind his chair, though, are Lou Gehrig, Babe Ruth and Bob Meusel, a first baseman and two out- fielders, the same as the Pirate trio of old Joe Harris, Paul Waner and Clyde Barnhart. Meusel joined his two mates in averages compiled today, including Wednesday's games, with a great hitting rally which ran his percen- tage from .363 to .371, 11 hits in six games, Eari Combs doubled Meu- sel’s gain to,make the fourth Yankee in the first ten batsmen, displacing Johnny Neun, the Detroit first sacker, Cobb Is Sliding | Still sliding, Ty Cobb, who a month ago was in the first ten, today is down in 22nd place, but Tris Speaker still hangs around in fifth place.

He was the only one of the lendersy with the exception of Harvey Hen ticks of klyn, to make an out- standing gain in percentage, in to- day’s figures. He is but one point behind Clyde Barnhart, the trailing member of the Pirate trio. Hendricks, who held a middle seat in the first ten for several weeks, a month ago and then dropped out, re- turned to his accustomed, spot today, displacing Eddie Farrell of the Braves, ' The Fordham flash, as they used ;to call Frisch in New York before he was traded to St. Louis, didn’t steal any bases this week but his mark of 1 is a dozs2 higher than the former e stealing lesder, Kiki Cuyler, of Pittsburgh.
