LEADING HITTERS INBOTH LEAGUES > Simons, Once 3 Bush Leaguer, Leading With Average of .4tb Chicago, Jule 6. (AP)—Al Sim- mons, a one-time bush leaguer for whom Connie Mack, wily manager of the Athletics, is reported to have parted with $35,000, today has a value of as least $75,000 to Mack, if the elongated pilot of the Philadel- phia club measures base hits in dol- lars and cents Simmeons, breaking loose in the w»n!ml hatting commotion prevail- ing in the American league, gar- 'nered 20 hits in his Jast nine games, giving him the batting leadership with an average of .415. He not only ran roughshod over the lead- ere, going from .389 to .415 in .a week, but passed Ty Cobb and Mc- Manus of the Browns for honors in scoring, and made Ken Willlame of the Browns look up to him for the honors in total base hitting. The youthful Philadelphia flelder has crossed the plate 44 times, and stretched his total base hitting to 123, Hix performance at bat during the week included five doubles, a triple and a brace home runs. Sammy Hale of the Athletics is topping Simmons with out- an average of .428, but he has par- | ticipated in fewer games. The aver- ages are based on games including those of Wednesday., Harry Rice of 8t. Louis also has been a hitting sensation, but as he has only figured in 20 games his average of .412 does not compare in importance to several other figures. However, he gained just an even 100 points in his last four games, Other leading batters: Heilmann, Detroit, .406; 400; Cobb, Detroit, .392 isler, 8t. Louis, .391; Paschal, New .38 8. Rice, Washington, Combs, New York, .373; Boston, .370; Bancroft, Bos- 1; Earl Smith, Pittsburgh, Burrus, Boston, Hornsby, St. Louis, .370; Harper, Philadelphia .363; Wheat, Brooklyn, .356: Bot- tomley, St. TLouls, .353; Wright, Pittsburgh, .351. Tris Speaker of the Indians has kept pace with the more youthful stars and his hitting .410, the sam: as Red Wingo, of the Tigers.
