Good Hitters Are | Increasing Rapidly New York, Aug. (AP) — Re- Sieger of whether it is a livelier! ll, weaker pitching or stronger batsmen, the number of .300 ers in the majors has increased almost beyond bounds in the past decade. In 1218 only 14 National league and 13 Amcrican league players finished with batting records of -800 or better. Six years later the Natio league had 41 hitters and the Ameri- ean 30 in the .300 class. In 1928 there were 47 in the Na- tional and 50 in the American. The averages for the first half of the 1223 season showed the Nation- al had 69 and the American 53 hit- ters rapping the ball at a rate of 800 or better.

Young Swanson Owes Ump Debt Cincinnati, O., Aug. 1—Evar Swan- son, youthful bit of brightness in the gloomy cellar the Cincinnati Reds have been occupying, owes Umpire Rigler of the National League a big debt. During May, Swanson was in @ pronounced batting slump. Rigler ahead of his schedule after anony- mous telephone calls and had “gotten on his nerves.” He said he was not certain anyone planned to harm him, but decided to take no chances and hurriedly moved out. Mandell was a big favorite in the betting, the odds having mounted steadily in his favor during the past week. He was quoted at 1 to 2% late yesterday and it was expected his price would go higher before the fight, when it was learned that he was only a fraction of a pound over the division of 135 pounds.

Asheville, N. C., Aug. 1.— (AP) — |Back in 1924 Ray Kennedy, still in his twenties, was named manager of the Charlotte club of the South At- lantic Association. That year he missed winning the pennant by half a game. He was only one game out of first bed when the curtain was rung lown in 1925. In 1926, he finished third; but in 1927 his Hornets slumped and “the boy pilot,” as he was known around the loop, finished in the second divi- sion for the first time in his manager- career. Meanwhile, the Charlotte bleacher- ites, feared by every mai rand player in the circuit, were riding Ken- nedy unmercifully for no apparent reason sein that they were tired looking at him and at the close of the 1928 season the young pilot was re- leased although the Charlotte owners announced at the time that they con- sidered him the best manager they ever had. Kennedy signed up with the Ashe- ville Tourists and immediately pro- ceeded to win the pennant. Also, he did some other things. The wolves in Charlotte laughed when Kennedy was fired, but “the boy pilot” did his chuckling later. He beat the Hornets every time he took his team to Charlotte last year. Ashe- ville and Charlotte met 18 times and Asheville won all but three games and were on their home grounds. This year looks like an even blacker one for Charlotte. So far Asheville has trimmed Charlotte in nine out of ten games. Also, the Tourists won the first half of the split and are breezing along toward the championship of the second half. The undiscriminating bleacherites are no longer jeering Mr. Kennedy.
