DOUGLAS INN GIVING THIRD DANCE TONIGHT Another one of John Marin's Douglas Inn popular dances will be held tonight in the Eagles’ Hall in Douglas. This is the third of a series of dances featuring Clarence Rands’ Orchestra to be sponsor- ! er blossom out as a threat for top batting honors. That is interesting, for Averill has reached the age when most ball players are begin- ning to show signs of the wear and tear of hard pennant-campaigning. At 33, Averill is having his best season. Principally known as a long-dis- tance hitter in the past, Earl this year has shown remarkable con- sistency at the plate and, as the teams headed into the home- stretch, he boasted an average in | the neighborhood of .300. Only once in his entire big league career has Averill failed to go well over the 300 mark. That was last season when a fire-cracker exploded in his hand and put him on the bench for several weeks. The injury hand- icapped him for some time after he returned to the lineup. He hit only .288 in 1935. The mer- ry clip Averill is traveling this season indicates that he is intent on repairing the damage he did to his big league life-time average last year. Vosmik Just Missed Averill's drive for the batting crown recalls the gallant effort Joe Vosmik made last year to give Cleveland a bat ting champion. Cleveland fans were keenly disap- pointed when Buddy Myer of the Senators beat him out, and they talk. The sensational play of young | Roy ‘Weatherly may bring about a |few changes in Cleveland. A lot of clubs would be willing to consider |trades involving Vosmik and Aver- ill—trades which might work out to the Indians’ advantage. | ed by Marin and prepartions are being made to handle a' record breaking crowd.
