The A’s still have a commanding lead, eigh; games ahead of Wash- ington and nine ahead of the Yankees despite the logs of . half game to the New Yorkers through their idleness yesterday, but 51 games remain for each of them, and a lot can happen in that number of contests. Babe Swats Pair The Babe clouted two more home runs yesterday after a lapse of over a week since his last previous four bagger. They serv-d to win a ball game from the Boston Red Sox, pro- viding three of the Yankee runs in a 4 to 1 victory. They also put the Babe 16 days and 12 games ahead of his record pace of 1927 when he reached his present total of 38 on Aug. 17 in the 115th game of the season. ‘The Indians got the jump on the St. Louis Browns by nicking Holland Stiles for two runs in the first inning and held their margin to win, 6 to 3.

Fred Lindstrom ” Hits Ball Hard without a change except that the Pittsburgh Pirates, after a brief dey in a tie for fourth place, were sent back to the second division. The Pirates went down before the Chicago Cubs, 10 to 7. The St. Louis Cardinals again be- came the only club in fourth place by trouncing the Cincinnati Reds, 10 to1. Robins Stay Ahead Brooklyn held its two game margin over the Cubs by resuming the old pastime of slamming the Phillies from pillar to post, ending the afternoon with 15 hits and a 9 to 4 victory. The New York Giants and Boston Braves did the heaviest hitting of the day, and due to Freddy Lindstrom, the Giants made their blows count for a 10 to 4 tritmph, their fifth straight. Lindy hit two home runs, a double ond a_single and accounted for six of the runs Chuck Klein Has Increased Margin Over Lefty O’Doul Teammates Still Staging Merry Battle for Hitting Lead in National New York, Aug. 2—(P)—After @ gallant uphill climb, Chuck Klein of the Phillies finally has taken a fairly firm hold on the object of his strug- gles, the batting leadership of the National League. Klein, leader a week ago by a hardly visible margin, has kept on climbing and in the aver- ages released today, which Include Wednesday's games, has a margin of five points over his team mate/and rival, Frank O’Doul. Klein's average is .408, O'Doul .403 The Philadelphia youngster already had more batting honors than most players could reasonably ask. He has held first place in scoring, hits and runs batted in and to this he he has added a tie for the lead in hitting Goubles. Klein has scored 103 runs, has hit safely 161 times and has bat- ted in 110 tallies. His total of 33 two baggers gives him a tie for the lead with O'Doul and Johnny Frederick of Brooklyn. Hack Wilson Clouting Adam Comorosky of Pittsburgh leads in triples with 14; Hack Wilson of Chiacgo in home runs with 33, and Kiki Cuyler of Chiacgo in stolen bases with 27, completing the some- what scanty list of slugging ‘eaders who have been able to outdistance Klein. The Philadelphian also fig- ures in the second place roster with 29 home runs. Others on this list are Cuyler, Wilson and Babe Herman, Brooklyn, with 93 runs; Bill Terry, New York, 156 hits; Cuyler, 12 triples; Wilson 101 runs batted in; and Her- man, 15 stolen bases. Terry is third on the list of lead- ers in batting with an average of 394. Other regulars in this select group are Herman, Brooklyn, .390; Stephenson, Chicago, 389; Heilmann, Cincinnati, 366; P. Waner, Pitts- burgh, .355. Phils Lead Clubs The club batting leadership re- mains in the hands of the Phillies with an average of .326, nine points better than the of New York. Cin- cinnati still leads in fielding with a 977 mark, Bob Osborn of Chicago has met his second defeat of the season but he still heads the League's list of hurlcrs with a .778 average, having won seven games to two lost.

Maybe we are just fooling, but it is our idea that some day one of these fine evenings, the mayor of Atlanta will say to the mayor of Macon, “Well, well, old sardine, I see where you have a champion, too.” This would take place (don’t laugh) shortly after W. L. “Young” Stribling had knocked out Max Schmeling or somebody for the heavyweight cham- Pionship of the world. If Thad said something like this in public no longer ago than last sum- mer, somebody ‘surely would have stood up and said, “Yes, yes, and now tell us all about your new idea for teaching hotges to spit.” But time flies, the Brooklyn Robins are at the top of one of the leading minor leagues, and you can’t tell the age of @ dead herring by its teeth.

JONES ’ WhataMan! =| ° The numerals “13” are avoided by most people but not by this publicity- loving character who likes photog- raphers as much as any one in the world. The broad shoulders and sturdy. legs belong to Art (The Great) Shires, new first baseman the Wash- ington Senators obtained from the ‘White Sox in a recent trade. rounds to knock out Otto Von Porat and Phil Scott. He beat Scott before the plaintive Britisher had time to holler foul, which is some sort of a record. Even in these bouts there was something: the matter with the Stribling left hand, Perhaps if Pa and Ma Stribling ever can get the young man in the ring in perfect phy- sical condition he'll kill somebody. Strib has fought his way to the top time and again, only to meet chagrin and disappointment and to disillusion those who placeg faith in him. Only 25 old, he has had nearly 300 sort of battles, of course, because Pa. liked to send his offspring in against the soft ones. But 300 fights are not what you might call a soft job. Willie has worked hard. “Let him cut loose,” I heard Jack Dempsey say once of the Georgia heavyweight, “and he would be one of the hardest’men in the world to lick. He’s got one of the best left hands I ever saw. And he showed when he fought Berlenbach he could take it.” What keeps him from “cutting loose”? Imagination, nerves, fear? Tve heard from a dozen boxing critics @ dozen different opinions of Young Stribling. One excuse offered for some of his poor showings was that he was mismanaged. Another was that he had too mueh caution. Still an- other was that he has had hard luck. The fact is, Young Stribling is a whale of a fighter. He has every qualification of physique and skill with which to reach the top.

Maintaining his average of .387 during the fifteenth week of the cam- paign, while the pitchers were knock- ing 10 points off the Athletic out- fielder’s mark, Gehrig topped the list by seven points. Simmons, with his average of .380, was only four points in front of his teammate, Mickey Cochrane, who had .376. Yank Hitters Leading The Yankee firm of Ruth and Geh- rig between them held four other leading the league in slugging, Gehrig last week batted in 16 runs to retain the lead- ership with 125, and his accumulation Jof 291 total bases also was éasily the best. Ruth added only one home run, but his total of 36 was the honor mark, with Gehrig four behind. The, Babe also led the scorers with 114 runs. Gehrig also threatened to displace Johnny Hodapp, Cleveland, in hits. The Indian second baseman hit safe- ly 10 times during the week for a season total of 147, but was only one ahead of Gehrig, who connected 12 times. Marty McManus, of Detroit, held on to the base stealing and two base hit titles for another week. He swiped one sack to bring his total to 16, and although he failed to get an- other double, his total of 32 atil) .jgood enough.
