Finish Fifth Knocking in Runs—Numerous Records | Mark ’36 Season. BY FRANCIS E. STAN. F IT is any consolation to Mr. GriMth’'s Nationals, who partici- pated only slightly in the note- worthy batting feats of the 1936 American League season, they were the toughest batsmen in Will Har- ridge's circuit to fool completely. A set of miscellaneous batting fig- ures, released today by the American League Service Bureau, reveals that ‘Washington hitters fanned only 398 times during the season to top the feague in refusing to whiff. The Na- tionals were the only team to get un- der the 400 mark. At a more important phase of bat- ting, however, Washington's athletes covered themselves with no great amount of glory. The Griffs were only fifth best at driving across runs, topping only Philadelphia, Boston and Bt. Louis. The Yanks, driving across 995, not only led the league but by the same token set a new major league record and shattered their own mark of 991, which was posted in 1931. Chicago, Cleveland and Detroit followed New York, in that order, followed by the Oriffs, Browns, Red Sox and Athletics. Kuhel Tops Griffmen. [JOE KUHEL, the durable first base- man, was Washington’s best run- driver-in, finishing with 118. This, however, was far under the figures of the leaders. Incidentally, Hal *rosky of Cleveland, who led the Jeague with 162 runs batted in, tri- amphed with the lowest total since 2929, when Al Simmons led with 157. . The Yankees set most of the runs- Patted-in and other miscellaneous rec- ords. In addition to driving across $95 runs, the New Yorks toppled the gecord for the most runs batted in 4n a single game, hammering 25 run- pers home against the Athletics on $May 24. The former mark was 23, set by the A's in 1929, Lou Gehrig was the leader with 152, but he was joined In the select group who beat the 100 mark by Joe Di Maggio, 125; Tony Lazzeri, 109, and Bill Dickey and George Selkirk, each with 107. This, oo, is a record, for never has a club had five hitters to drive across more ghan 100 runs. Gehrig went into a tie with Sim- mons in the number of consecutive seasons in which he topped the cen- | sury mark, each having a string of 11 ears. Simmons, whose streak was roken in 1935, performed the feat sgain last season for a lifetime total &;HIL %evmnd of 12, within one of Babe Ruth's all- Bime high of 13. Meanwhile Goose Goslin brought his total to 11 by scor- tng 125 mates. t. Louis Johnson, Philadelphii Kuhel. Washington Foxx Remains Whiff Champion.

It also posted a new record for bases on balls, 4,847 players drawing passes to top the 1935 record of 4612. Ben Chapman of the Nats drew five walks in a May 24 game for the season’s high, though it is not & record. George Selkirk twice tied the major league mark for the most | bases on balls in one inning, walking | twice in each instance. Gehrig came up with another individual title in| $his department, leading the league | with 130 bases on balls. The strike-out champion was Jimmy Poxx, who fanned 119 times to top all rivals. It was the sixth time Jimmy has s0 led the league, setting a new major league record. The most-hit layer was Frankie Crosetti of New ork, who was pinked by pitchers 12 times. B. CONRAD HIGH MAN IN A.

BY BURTON HAWKINS, ‘TRANGE quirks of fate threw Henri Piers and Jim Coffield into the grappling game. When the veteran muscle men tangle in a 30-minute preliminary to the Cliff Olsen-Joe Cox feature match at ‘Turner's Arena this evening, Piers will be there because of a lengthy ill- ness, while Coffield will be present due to the death of a buddy seven years 8g0. A former dirt track automobile racer, and a daring one, Coffield was an inseparable pal of the late Bobby Roscoe, who gained some measure of fame plloting streamlined coffins in the Middle West. Roscoe and Coffield were entered in the same race at Kansas City in 1929. Roscoe’s car, leading the fleld, swerved into the fence and dropped with a sickening thud 20 feet below. Jim immediately dropped out of the race and ran to his buddy, only to see Bobby perish in flames. Quit When Pal Died. OSCOE'S death finished Jim as & racing driver. He had been cap- tain of the Westport High School wrestling team in Kansas City and later had won the amateur light- heavyweight and heavyweight twisting titles of the Missouri Valley, so he naturally turned to the mat for work. From 1929 until 1931, Coffield worked under the tutelage of Joe Stetcher, former world champion, and then launched his pro career. Since that time he has participated in more than 1,000 matches. Coffield invariably is employed as a villain and has participated in‘many build-ups here. The § foot 10 inch, 210-pound pachyderm has prospered in the caulifiower industry, now own- ing a 50-acre farm on the outskirts of Kansas City, hiring 15 hands to operate it. Piers turned to the brawling busi- ness to pay off doctors’ and hospital BY GRANTLAND RICE. ON RE-MEETING JIM THORPE. I've seen them come and go, old-timer, I've seen them at their best.

He was one of the few willing to let them come to him back of the line and then slip away when his blockers were ready. ‘I'v! seen Red take passes out of the air from almost impossible angle: He always was a threat on pass inter- ceptions, with probably the finest change of pace any back ever had. T ANY rate, this would not be any moth-eaten or spotty all-time backfield: Dutch Clarke at quarter— { Thorpe and Grange at the two halves—Nagurski at full. Three of the lot—Clarke, Grange and Thorpe— | were among the best in broken fields. Nagurski and Thorpe were among the best power backs. All four can pass |and three of them are among the game's best receivers. They all have color—and they have been able to prove their high-ranking places—not for 2 or 3 years, but from 6 years to 12. ‘There is one other star who should be crowded in, one way or another, His name is Ken Strong of N. Y. U. and the pro league—back when he was & Giant. Strong could do everything— kick, pass, run, block, tackle. If you wanted more of a power team, we could give you Clarke, Thorpe, Na- gurski and Strong.

Bold Venture. representing Morton | L. Schwartz, whipped Granville by | the slimmest of margins in the Preak- ness after taking the measure of J.

'HE Schwartz colt went wrong soon afterward, with the result Gran- ville never got a chance to atone for the defeat, one of three by nose mar- | gins in 11 starts during the year. Granville indicated there might have been a different story if they had met again, by winning six straight races, earning $110.295 and getting the ac- | claim of sports writers as the horse of | | the year. | Like Bold Venture and Brevity, however, Granville was forced to the sidelines with a minor leg injury ‘n winning the Lawrence Realization in September at Belmont Park. The in- jury kept the great son of Gallant Fox out of the Jockey Club Gold Cup, a race which appeared easy after his| victory over the famous handicap star, | Discovery, in the Saratoga Cup. Bows Out Like Gallant Fox. GBAN’VIHJS knees were fired and he was turned out at Woodward's Farm at Belair, Md. There was little doubt in the minds of his handlers that he would be brought back to competition next year. But Gilpin, owner of Teddy, great grandsire of Granville, which died recently, finally persuaded Woodward to retire the 3- year-old. He has been leased to the Virginia breeder for a term of five years. In retiring Granville at the height of his career, Woodward followed his policy with Gallant Fox six years ago. Both were leading money winners, the Fox earning more than $300,000. ‘The loss of Granville and the recent retirement of Discovery strips the handicap division of two of its great- | est drawing cards. There also is s chance neither Bold Venture nor Brevity will stand training. Bold Ven- ture is at Columbia, 8. C., preparing for the rich Winter stakes, while Brevity is in Kentuoky - getting in shape for the $50,000 Widener Chal- lenge Cup at Hialeah Park. ANOTHER FARRINGTON.
