BY JOHN B. KELLER. OSTON, Mass., September 5.—Leon Goslin may not this year reach his 1922 batting mark of .324—the best achieved by a member of the Nationals last season—but a continuance of anything like the clout- ing he has been doing since his club returned east last week will assure him a swatting average we'f above .30 for the present campaign. In the past seven engagements the Goose has been at bat legally twenty-eight times and jyoled fifteen hits. That's batting at a .536 clip | for a week. This streak fhas brought his yearly average from the neigh- hnrhn-lml of 280 to abowe the .300 mark. Quite a jump in such a brief | period, The Goose has nog found the going being a real task for him during nearly three months of play. For a time, opposing piichers slaw-balled hinvto distraction, and always he has been too impatient at tize plate. This has caused him to offer at many poor | pitches, instead of forcing the moundsman to pitch to him.
