It is 2 curious coincidence th#t this is the third successive year that exactly fifty men have made this record. Of the fifty names, fifteen were of players in their first or second # "~on in fast company which i an it m of interest. This table is notable, =l:0, for certain names that afe mi:eing. These are the first American !cague averages issued since 1905 in which the name of Tyrus Raymond Cobb did not appear among the select list of players batting .300 or more, Eddie Collins and, Tris Speaker are not included for the first time since 1908. J Lewis A. Fong 2a," Cleveland first baseman, tops the regular with a mark of .369, Brilliant Siramons is second with .365, ten points above Henry: Manush who has .355 and, in turn, is one point higher than Jimmy Foxx, twenty- one-year-old veteran of the cham- pion A's and Anthony Lazzeri, both of whom finished at .354. Last year Fonseco finished + tenth and Simmons fourth, while Manukh battled to the end of thc 1928 season with Leon Goslin for the leadership, Goslin winning », one point with .379, 91 points higher than his pr:cant mark, Though Fonseca won the lead- ership in batting the greatest all round player, in both batting and A fielding,, is Charles Gehringer.

On May 24 Manush combed five safetie five times up from the offerings of Zinn, Cleveland pitcher, and two days later Gordon Cochrane duplicated this feat, with Marterry and Brax- ton the victims, May first Simmons faced four Boston pitchers six times and col- lected five hits, one of them homer and one a double, scored four rung and drove in six. On June 21 the A's star found Pen- nock, Sherig and yore for five hits, two of them ne rung, in five times at bat, scored five runs himself and. drove three more home. September 2.
