Chicago, Aug. 25.—Babe Ruth con- tinues to make both the National and American league batting averages look somewhat like a one man leader pro- position. He leads all the batters in hitting with an average of .404 a gain of nine points during the week. He failed to add to his home run total since last Saturday, his mark remain- ing at 32, but was fairly successful in extra base hits for less than the cir- cuit during the week, now topping all major league players by a wide mar- gin, He leads in total bases with 800, a gain of 22 during the week, and in runs scored with 114, a gain of 7. The nearest in hitting to him is Heil- mann, Detroit, with .388, and Speaker of Cleveland with .368. Eddie Collins of Chicago is the only leader in the league besides Ruth. Eddie is out ahead of all the base stealers with 36 pilfered sacks to his credit and he likewise tops the list of sacrifice hitters with 35. Ruth’s record of total bases include, with his 32 home runs, nine triples, and 31 doubles. Ruth’s record in- cludes 113 games, 384 times at bat, 114 runs, 165 hits, three sacrifice hits and 10 stolen bases. Other leading batters are: Sewell, Cleveland, .364; Jamieson, Clevdland, .363; Williams, St. Louis, .348; Harris, Boston, .347; Eddie Col- ling, Chicago, .345; Manush, Detroit, 3373 itt, New York, .334; Burns, Boston, ; Cobb, Detroit, .333. Williams Pulls Up On Ruth Cy Williams, the Philadelphia slug- ger, scored three homers the past week and is again tied with Ruth at 82. Rogers Hornsby of St. Louis con- tinues in his role as leading batter in the older circuit, with an average f .397, a drop from his .405 of last weele but still well ahead of Zack Wheat of Brooklyn, who has .378, and Bottomley of St. Louis, who has .370. Pep Young of New York, however, heads the list of run getters with 101 while Frisch also of the Giants, leads the extra base column with 249 which includes 11 hom@ runs, nine three baggers and 26 doubles. MclInnis of Boston broke the sacrifice base hit tie with Duncan of Cincinnati during the week and leads with 25 while Duncan failed to sacrifice and has 23. George Grantham of Chicago is out in front among base stealers having 47 but is closely pursued by Carey of Pittsburgh with 35 and Heathcote of Chicago with 81, kids, newly crowned queen of the tenn world, and Bobby Jones, the 21-year- old king of all most popular and most sought for titles in the United States world. efforts of these two and more to be admired in their dogged gain these coveted crowns.

SHUTTLE MEADOW GOLFERS 4 WIN FOUR OUT OF TEN PRIZES One Day Tournament Under, Auspices of State Associa« tion at Local'Links Provos Successful. Members of the Shuttle Meadow club were extremely successful in the state one ‘day golf tournament held at-the Shuttle Meadow links all day yesterday under the auspices of the Connecticut State Golf association, capturing four of thé ten prizes of- fered for the play. The home play- ers were outnumbered by the visitors, however. There were 73 entrants in the affair. The tournament was one of a series of six one day affairs which are being held this summer over various courses in the state; the home club ‘usually contributing one-half of the prizes and the state association the other half. Yesterday's affair was the fourth in the series, the two to follow being scheduled for the Hart- ford Country club and the Highland Country club. Yesterday morning saw 69 entries, there being four “vho ontered in the afternoon and played but 13 noles. The weather at all times during the day was conducive to good golf and the fairways in such conditiorn that long ‘‘rolls” on drives were to be ex- pected. Notwithstanding these facts there were no striking features in the play, nor no eéxceptionally low scores. Gooq golf was the rule, however. One of the freak occurrences of the day, and the only one that was evident from scores was niné consecutive holes (the second nine)’ played in a 4 for every hole, short and long, as they came. R. M. Armstrong, of New Haven, had this freak nine to his credit and it figured in the winning scores. ‘Bobby Jones,” of Atlanta made a similar score over the Shuttie Meadgw course in 1918, otherwise the feat has not been duplicated as far as is known. R. W. Pride, professional at Race Brooke Country club acted as starter and arbiter df disputes for the large field. Prize Winners, G. F. Smart, of Wethersfield won the most valuable prife of the ewent by turning in the low gross score for 36 holes, making a 76 in the morne ing and a 78 in the afternoon for a total of 154. R. W. Chamberlain, of Shuttle Meadow woh the next event in order of importance, getting the low net score for he two rounds He played in a 77 in the morning Tound and an 85 in the afternoon. His handicap was 12 strokes per round, making his net 138 for the 36. The prize for low gross for 18 holes went to B. P. Merriman, of K Waterbury, who made a 75 in the 'morning round. R. M. Armstrong, of the New Haven Country club, also found his morning round the best of the two making a 76 which, minus his handicap of 11 gave him a 65 for the first prize in the low net score on 18 holes division. bk in 1920 where he finished eighth. The. following year he finished fifth, the third year second and\ finally first, after the long four-year grind. Miss Wills' triumph has been as sensational in steadiness when she had to heat the best in the game to reath Mrs. Mallory, one of long tournament experience and steel nerves. Not alone that but she had to beat the best England had had and all the other countries, which she did. She yet to meet Suzanne Leng- len, the I"rench flash, the only tenni player whom she has never met. And that probably will be at Wimbiedon next year. in the game were pitchers, and only two escaped without at least one run being scored against them. Thirteen hits for a total of seventeen bases rat- tled off the Yankee bats, and barring Whitey Witt every man in the Yan- kee batting order struck at least one blow in the common cause. Jump- ing Joe Dugan led the assault with | three safeties, including one triple, while Wallie Pipp, Aaron Ward and Freddje Hofmann each delivered two. The score: Their processions to their respec- tive thrones has almost been automa- tic, a gradual, consistent step by step. Miss Wills first attracted attention in 1921 when she captured the national girls’ championship, repeating the following y 3 Novices at Same Time Jones' first important victory was in the southern amateur in 1917, and he, like Miss Wills, repeated in this events the year after.
