HITTING OF GUBS v ONTHEUPGRADE Joe McCarthy Figures Chicago Team As Good As “Tn” Chicago, "Aug. 13. (P—Chicago's Cubs are as good as “in”, Manager Joe McCarthy declares, because their hitting is on the upgrade after hovering around the .270 mark as | a team average all season. For most of the season the Cubs have led | the league in fielding accuracy, but today they are still 20 points bu-l low the Pirates in hitting. | Seven of the Cubs are among the | 46 hitters in the .200 class of the National League but only one has been able to break into the first ten leaders, Riggs Stephenson. The Pirates have eight batters in ti 1300 ‘division and for many weeks three of the Ptitsburghers have been grouped at the very top. Today these three Pirates, Paul Waner, Joe Harris and Clyde Barn- hart, are farther in front than ever with the field, led by Frankie Frisch, from 13 to 60 points below them. Brother Lloyd Waner also holds his own in the first ten, ranking ninth in averages compiled today, including Wednesde games. Frisch slumped 13 points after his challenge last week to break up the Pirate trio the rest of the first ten skidded with him, while Paul ‘Waner led his mates into higher ground. Frisch also failed to add any stolen bases but his mark of 31 is still nine better than Hendrick of Brooklyn, the runner up. Two victorles this week for Larry Benton of the Giants have put him at the top among the National League pitchers, with ten victories to three defeats. The two Pirate Meadows and Hill, who held the lead so0 long, are now second and fourth. Jess Haines of the Cardinals is third, but Charlie Root of the Cubas leads Haines by three victories, Root added his 19th and 20th this week. Leading National Y.eague hitters are: P, Waner, Pittshurgh, .391; Harris, Pittsburgh, 379; Barnhart, Pittsburgh, .366; Frisch, St. Louls, .353; Harper, New York, Stephenson, Chicago, .345; Hornsby, New York, .344; Hafey, St. Louis, .341; L. Waner, Pittsburgh, .33 Hendrick, Brooklyn, .332. Every other years seems to be " for Harry Heilmann of the Detroit Tigers, as he won the Amer- fcan League batting championship in 1921, *23 and '25. and is making a determined bid for the top right now. Only Al Simmons of the -Ath- letics and Lou Gehrig of the Yank- ees rank higher today than Heil- mann, but Gehrig shows no signs of weakening. Simmons has been on the bench for the last two weeks. Hellmann {s twenty-one points behind Simmons in averages com- piled today including Wednesday games, but he has gainéd more than that in the past month of steady elimbing. Most of the others among the first ten batters of the Americin League shed a few percentage points this week while Harry was making a gain of seven. Ruth and Speaker slipped the most, except Bing Miller of the Browns who dropped clear out of the ten leaders for the first time in many months. Near Front Row Miller joined Ken Williams and George Sisler, his teammates, just on the fringe of the front row. Si; ler added two more stolen base making 22, while Johnny Neun, Detroit's first sacker, passed Tra.- ener of the Tigers for runner up with 19. The home run duel still swings in favor of Gehrig. Lou had 38 Wed- nesday to 36 for Ruth, but in the total of extra base hits Lou stands out like a lighthouse. He has 37 two-baggers and 12 tripples, far ahead of the Babe in each class. Pipgras, now apparently back with the Yankees to stay, has much the best mark of the American League hurlers, six wins and but one loss, though the honors among the regulars should go to Waite Hoyt of the Yanks. Hoyt has 16 vic- torles and feur defeats and only Ted Lyons of the White Sox ex- ceeds his total of wins. Ted has 18 victorfes and is still the harde working twirler In either major | league, having worked the equiv lent of 25 games with nearly eight weeks of the season yet to go.

Kelly, Toledo, .360; Hauser, Kansas Ci Lebourvean, Toledo, .353. Western League With a team of .300 hitters and .600 pitchers the Tulsa Oilers are still howling merrily along through the Western League, somewhat like the Yankees are doing in the Amer- ican League. George Blacholder, with 22 vie- tories to seven defeats stands high ahove the hoxmen of the circuit in g compiled to includ’ng | sday's games Black, another | flinger, has the best percent- mark among the regulars with | ns to only one loss. Since Pete Casey withdrew to the Eench except for his weekly effort 1t pinch hitting, the individual bat- ting leadership has descended uron Li rd of Des Moines, and he clings to it bravely. For the first time in many weeks, the ten lead- ing hitters of the league kept their | places with only trivial gains or losses and no newcomers in the bunch. Munson poled 9 another homer, making his mark 25, and McNally of Wichita réached the 19 mark which Casey had established before he was “beaned” two months ago. Joeo Rabbit got his weekly two stolen bases, having now 38. His speed on the paths makes him the league's leading run getter, although Bennett of Tulsa, the two-bagger champion of the circuit is only three behind. A mark which excels the present efforts of any of the major league twirlers is being set by Walker of Denver, who has 142 strikeout vie- tims to date. This is five better than Lefty Grove of the Athletics and 11 better than Dazzy Vance of the Leading hitters of the Western League are: Langford, Des Moines, .395; Comorosky, Vichita, .38 Bennett, Tulsa, .377; Munson, Tulsa, Sturdy, Tulsa, .368; Cunning- ham, Des Moines, .364; Wingfield, Amarillo, 4; Rabbit, Omaha, .348; Reagan, Denver, .348; Kress, Tulsa, 37 HERE WITH EUROPE Institute - O Politics Stresses High Land Values Willlamston, Maes.,, Aug. 13 (P— Farm problems in America and eco- nomic questions of the British em- pire and Italy were discussed today at the round table of the Institute of politics. High land values and soil ex- haustion were declared to be impor- tant factors in agricultural depres- sion in this country while phases of the economic situation of England and Italy were found to be little more satisfactory. An annual loss of $400,000,000 is incurred by American farmers through their failure to return plant food to the soil, Harry C. Butcher, editor of the Fertilizer Review, told the round table members. He pre- dicted that government aid may b required as well as a plan of com- pulsory soil enrichment. Mussolini's rule is principally by economic Prof. Henry R. Spencer, of Ohio State University, told his round table. Living costs have not been re- duced, Italy’s place in the world markets is not beyond menace and the divergent interests of capital and labor have not been fused, he said. Methodist Church Rules Change Talk Chicago, Aug. 13.—(P)—A propos- cd amendment to the constitution of the Methodist Episcopal church pro- viding for the admission of laymen to the annual church conference was the General Lay- men’s association of the church as its first important step in a new movement toward gaining a voice in the annual conference actlvities. The proposal to admit laymen to the confercnce was defeated prior to the last general conference by a vote of the ministers, although it unanimously by the laymen’s organizations. amendment would provide for icipation of laymen in the conference on the basls of one yman for each 800 church mem- bers in the bounds of the conference.

All bus- iness of the convention, one of the most hectic in years, was finished at¢ an extra session last night. Charles P. Howard, president and his progressive faction were in com- plete control of the present conven- tion for the first time. The admin- istration forces, including all union officers except Howard and the ma- jority of the executive council, lost out on each important issue before the delegates. oSeveral important resolutions which it is believed will at least temporarily halt the controversy be- tween the mailers union, a branch of the I. T. U,, and the progressives, were adopted. One dissolved the Mailers’ union and made the malil- ers an integral part of the Interna- tional, with the same rights and voting powers as the printers. The convention previously voted down an attempt by the mailers to with- draw their membership. The resolu- tion dissolving the mailers must be submitted to a referendum. The convention yesterday placed the executive council under the complete control of the president and adopted a report criticizing John W. Hahs, international secre- tary-treasurer, and editor of the Typographical Journal. He was di- rected to submit a financial report of the Journal to the president and to exercise less autocratic control over the publication’s columns. William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, ap- pealed to the union to discard all factional disputes and to support the striking bituminous miners of the central competitive field.
