In 1918 only 14 National league d 13 American league ed with batting records of .300 or better. Six yi later the Nationals had 41 hitters and the Americans 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 1928 season showed the Na- tional had 69 and the American 52 the ball at the ratc of .300 or better. Back in 1918 the .300 hitters in- cluded Z Wheat, Ed Rousch, Heinie Groh, Charlie Hollocher, Bil- ly Southworth, Jake Daubert, Ross Young and Hal Chase. The last named, a mighty good batsman, Jjust managed to get into what for- merly was called the select class with an average of .301. In the American league at this time were such sluggers as Ty Cobb, Joz Jackson, George Burns, Jacques Fournier, George Sisler, PBob Bescher, Tris Speaker, “Home Run” Baker, Wally Pipp, George eaver and Babe Ruth. Babe Ruth was just beginning to shine as a hard hitter and in 95 games had a record of an even .300. Until the Bambino began his as- sault on home run records in 1919, when he made 29, the slugger who accumulated between 20 and 25 cir- cuit blows in a season was regarded as having done-pretty well. During the last decade one or nfore play- crs every season has bettered 25, Ruth holding the record with 60. — .- — ROWLAND LAUGHS IT OFF NASHVILLE, Aug. l.—Clarence]| (Pants) Rowland, whose Nashville| Vols are the current sensation in the Southern association, laughs at reports that he is destined to suc- ceed Lena Blackburne as pilot of ! the White Sox. “Just another ru- mor,” says Rowland. ——e——— NOTICE | !

Economical because it has been made to stand up under thousands and thousands of miles of steady running. An indication of the built-in quality of this car is shown in the extensive use of fine steel forgings. More steel forgings, in fact, are used in the new Ford than in almost any other car, regardless of price. Come in and learn about the safety, comfort, smoothness and alert performance of this car by driving it yourself. You’ll know it’s a great auto- mobile the minute you take the wheel.
