Empire classifieds pay. for one, with a homer in every bat| that steps to the plate. And the Chicago White Sox, the Tigers, the Red Sox, even the Browns—there isn’t a pitcher’s pushover in their batting orders, Yet, despite that, the Yanks at the moment threaten to eclipse the victory record of their '27 prede- cesors, and are well on the way to crac the all-time mark of 173 hom- ers for a club in one season. ‘The 1927 Yanks, as a group, and with the aid of such combarding batsmen as Babe Ruth, Bob Meusel, Lou Gehrig, Earl Combs and a much younger Tony Lazzeri, batted .307 for the season. Today's outfit is hitting around .304 despite the | tougher opposition. | Keep Bat Averages High And, digging into the batting av-| erages, you find that only in the cutfield, where Ruth, Meusel and Combs roamed in that day, did the 1827 combination outhit the pres-| ent day lineup. In the infield, Geh- | rig is hitting around .380 today.! His mark for 1927 was .373. l.az-1 zeri is a shade under .300 now, but wasn't much above that ten years ago. More than making up for that small deficit is Bill Dickey, who is combining a close-to-.360] batting average with his catching duties, compared to the mediocre! 277 and 247 for Reg Cvrobowsk‘xi and Benny Bengough, receivers for| the 1927 club. | s logg The outfield average of '27 was .347. Today’s fly-chasers are hitting jultl about 310, The infield of '36 is| hitting nearly ten points heavier, while the catching department is almost a hundred points higher. | This batting-power is the big rea-| son for the Yanks’ long lead at this stage of the campaign. They have built up a lead in a season by Kellogg in Battle Creek. ONE of the best things about Kellogg’s Corn Flakes — from a woman’s standpoint — is that they save hours of work, All you have to do is put those ready-to-eat flakes in a bowl, pour on milk or cream, and add some fruit or honey.
