Zeke, according to official aver- ages released last Sunday and which include games of last Friday, topped the junior circuit batsmen with a healthy mark of .400 in 65 trips to the plate in 17 games, Bonura slammed out 26 hits and scored 13 runs. His rise was spec- wacular as he was not among the league’s select “first ten” hitters in averages of a week 'ago. In second place was Buddy Lewis, sensational young Washington in- fielder, with a mark of .394, while Rick Ferrell of Boston, leader a week ago, slipped to third place with an average of .370. Other Leaders The other leaders: Lou Gehrig, New York, .365; George Puccinelli, Philadelphia, .364; Bill Dickey, New York, .361; Luke Appling, Chicago, 356; Charley Gehringer, Detroit, .351; Wally Moses, Philadelphia, 351 and Jimmy Dykes, Chicago, 351, Joe Di Maggio, New York, had an average of 420 but was in only 11 games. Lewis had the most base hits, 41, while Gehrig had scored 34 runs. Dickey drove in the most runs, 37, and the two-base hit de- partment was led by Red Rofle, New York, and Gehringer; each with 11. Make Triples Lewis, Gehringer, and Harland Clift, of St Louis, had four triples each, while the home run honors rested with Jimmy Foxx, of Bos- ton, with eight to his credit. Bill Werber, speedy Boston outfielder and infielder, had pilfered five bases. | Bob Grove, of Boston, topped | pitchers in games won, having al record of six victories and one loss. | But the veteran George Blaeholder of Cleveland and Babe Phelps of | each | Chicago led in percentage, having three wins and no losses. Johnny Broaca, New York, 1 two victories and no defeats on his rec- | ord, while Monty Pearson and Lef- ty Gomez, of New York, had im- one loss each. The fast-traveliny New York! Yankees led in team batting, with | a mark of .307, while Detroit set the pace for team fielding with an| average of 977. Cleveland had pull- ed the most double killings, 33. -+ RAINBOW GiRLS ARE PLANNING | SPRING FORMAL Good dance music, and spring dec- | orations of many gay colors will be | the background for the spring for- mal planned by the Rainbow Girls for next Saturday evening, to be held in the Scottish Rite Temple.| Rand’s Orchestra wiil furnish the | music for the dance which is one| of the important events of the spring season.
