Rogers Hornsby ought to get the first peep at it for being the sweetest swatsman of either league, topping the averages with 398 . This is the highest batting percentage reached since 1899, when Delahanty of the Phillies led the league with .408, But Ty Cobb, the “Georgia Peach,” steps into Hornsby's shadow, demanding recogni- tion and deserving to be marked at the top of all the greats. ~Fer Cobb has just pulled thru his 16th complete season with the Tygers, and finished with a marker of .890.

George also got 10 hits in 10 con- secutive trips to the plate, a record for the season To Hornsby will go the ribbon for smack out doubles and triples in the National league. He got 43 doubles and 18 triples, while Tris Speaker | of the Indians topped him for ables in the American league by popping out 61 Dave Bancroft of the Giants gets the une 1 he cragked out a single, double he plate.

Four triple plays were manufactured In the American league and in the National league five were exeouted. Two triple steals were made, one by Washington and the other by the! St. Louls Browns, Twenty seven shutouts were recorded during the yeor in the Na- tional.
