Unofficial averages including Wednesday's games reveal every team, even the rampant Yankees, deopped in team batting during the cighth week of play. The Yankees from last but since May 16, thelr aver- age has declined 9 points. During the eighth week, Washington's team hitting average dropped seven pointx, St. Louis' and Cleveland's four each, Philadelphia's and Chi- cago's three each, Detroit's two, and Boston's one. The Yankees, however, are still in the lead in team hitting with an average of -313 or 25 points more than Cleveland, which is in second place. Goosc™ Goslin, Washington's vet- eran outfielder, still leads the individ- ual hitters with an average of .420, while Ralph Kress of 8t. Louis, with jun average of .370 took second.

The Rajah was tripping along in the lead with a mere 418, and George Gran- tham of Pittshurgh was next in line with .394 Hornsby also was near the lead in home runs, although Del Bisson- ette topped the league with ten. Hack Wilson of Chicago and Jim Bottomley of St. Louis were tied with nine homers each, while Hor, by had eight. Hornsby and Bottom- ley were tied for the greatest num- ber of doubles, vach with sixteen, Since assuming the reine as man- ager at Boston, Hornsby has boost- ed his average with almost every game—exactly the reverse of the process which set in {mmediately after he was appointed leader of the Cardinals three years ago. The defeat of Fred Blake, the Cub pitching star, sent Willlam Clark of Brooklyn iInto the lead among the National league boxmen with six games won and only one lost through Wednesday. Many persons consider Larry Benton, the Giant ace, the real leader, as his record «hows not only more games, but more complete games. Benton had won eight and loat two through Wednesday, and further, had pitch. ed 91 innings without requiring re- lief, Taylor Douthit of the Cardinals led in base hits with 77, while Bis- sonette, the home run king, for the moment at least, ashowed the way in driving runs home, ne fewer than 41 Robins crossed the plate on transportation furnished by Rig Del. Bissonette also tied with Walker of Cincinnati in triples, each having Bottomley set the scoring seven. His teammate, Frank Frisch, whose hatting average is languishing down around the .305-mark, continued to set the base running record. The Fordham Flash finished Wednen- day's game with an even dezen stol- en hases for the eason, Faney fielding helped the Cincin- nati Reds through the w as It had fn earller weeks of the Nationa! league campaign, but hefty clubbing failed to lift the Pirates very high. Val Picinich's bat remained large, and he finished the week with an average of .39%, ranking third, enly one point hehind Grantham. Dou- hit was fourth with .372, and Bot- tomley with .370.
