Hitting safely one or more times in 16 consecutive games, the rangy Red Sox outfielder took the lead with a batting mark of .407 at the end of the third week of campaigning, unofficial averages including games of last Wednesday disclosed. During the third week, he hit better than .500 to boost his average 57 points. In 86 official times at bat, Oliver has hit safetly 35 times. Joe Judge, veteran Washington first, ‘baseman, also went on a hitting ram- page during the week, lifting his aver- age from .311 to .386 and going into second place. Bill Cissell, White Sox second baseman, and Al Simmons of the Athletics, who were tied for first a week ago, slumped and fell to third and fourth places with aver- ages of .382 and .380, respectively. Other Jeaders were Jamieson, Cleve- land, .379; Rice, Washington, 8; Foxx, Philadelphia, .375; McManus, Detroit, .368; Myer, Washington, .366; and L. Sewell, Cleveland, 365. John Burnett, Cleveland infielder, was hitting at a .459 clip but was not counted among the leaders, as he has batted but 37 times. Cleveland boosted its team batting average from .301 to .302 to lead the Teague again, the unofficial averages reveal, while the Red Sox took second place with. a .288 mark. -In team fielding, the Athletics jumped from fourth to first with a .984 percentage, with Detroit second at .982. “Lefty” Grove, slab ace of the Ath- Yetics, finally got started during the second week, starting and finishing two more games to get into a tie for pitching honors with three victories and no defeats. Clint Brown, sen- sational Cleveland rookie, barely es- caped defeat during the same period and remained in a tie with Grove, Hogsett of Detroit, and Marberry of Washington. Grove stretched his strikeout. string to 35, the longest in the league.
