BY JOHN B. FOSTER. HICH will it be, Babe Ruth or Harry Heilmann? Much ado is being made in the race between the two American League slug- V'V gers, now practically tied, for the batting championship of the organization. As the season has some weeks to go, it is hardly worth while to become overwrought about the matter. Either is likely to de- velop a hitting streak that will put him ahead., and the streak may not appear until late in September. Take a glimpse at the records and you may come to the conclusion that Ruth will have a time to outhit his rival. Ruth never has led the league in hitting and Heilmann has. The Detroit star batted .364 for the San Francisco Seals in 1915, and that is one of the reasons the Tygers grabbed him. He had been hitting furiously in Portland before going to San Francisco. 4o The saine scazon Ruth batted 313 = = = Veul S5 SR wiice "5 | GRIFFS IN DOUBLE BILL dinie i fagter Mt WITH WHITE SOX TODAY 1917 Ruth batted 25 and Nationals and White Sox were failed to get above .300. making only to mingle in a double-header thi .281.
