After seeing him fn action, New Yorkers have evidently given up the hope that Bennie Leonard, a New York lightweight, would be crowned king of the 135-pound men before another year rolls around.

C. HAMILTON United Press Staff Correnpondent NEW YORK, May 10—A new rival and one old plotter sprang into new sports fame today, as they wrested batting leadership in the American league from Tris Speaker and started an argument over who should carry the banner, It’s no new thing to see the name jof “Stuffy’ McInnis hanging laround among the first batters of {the country, but George Sisler, in |apite of his batting prowess, had never seen bis name printed at the top of the American league hitting column until today Tris went hitless with elght times at bat, including his total of yesterday, Neither Sisler nor Me- Innis played, and so kept the av erages they had accumulated be forehand. This addition of Meln nis to the select circle of swat reported for spring, and demons is something of a shock for those who predicted that when the Athletics’ first sacker failed to hit his stride last year, he was slipping. It appears far more likely that McInnis felt keenly his association with such an outfit as Connie Mack was perpetrating on the league, and just simply could not keep up his old pace, Thrown this year with a hitting club, McInnis has been breezing along at a remerkable pace, Since the season opened, the world's smallest first baseman has hit safely at least once in every game he has played. That gives him a record of having hit safely at least once in 17 consecutive games.
