BATTING IN THE LEAGUE) iH Senses Glants and Pirates Menacing | "BABE" RUTH CONTINUES AS SENSATION IN DEAGUE He Connected For Only One Hit-- Speaker's Average Goes Up--Some Other Leaders. The three leading batters in the American League fattened up their averages last' week, but "Babe' Ruth, the home run champion, who is fourth place, suffered a slump be- fore Dick Kerr in the last game of the series between Chicago and New York. He was at bat five times, but connected for only one hit. Tria Seaker, the Cleveland manager who tops the batters, gathered cleven hits in seven games and boosted his mark from .4P1 to .417, which Is fifteen points better than that of George Sisler, the St. Louis star, who is the runner-up, with an average of .402. Joe Jackson, the slugging outfielder of the Chicago White Sox, is third with a mark of .3.96, while Ruth is hitting.391. The averages are of players who participated in fifty or more contests, and include games of Wednesday. Ruth continues to be the sensat- jon of the league. This was evid- enced again in the series just play- ed in Chicago between the Yankees and the White Sox. For the four days a crowd officially estimated at 126,000 came out to witness the games with the hope of seeing the big southpaw slugger crack the ball out of the fleld. Three times during | the series was Ruth able to "deliver", on his specialty. On the second day | he drove the ball on a line into the right field bleachers for four bases. Claude Williams was pitching, and it was the third homer Ruth had col- lectéd at his expense. This smash marked Ruth's 38th home run. Against Faber the following day he was unable to hit, because the game was close, and he was ordered pass- ed. 'In the opening game with Ci- cotte on the mound Ruth was help- less. Yesterday he added two to his record, which is now 41, he having! landed on Khmke of Detroit the day before. Rice.of Washington is far out in front among the base stealers, show- ing the way with a total of 43 thefts. Other leading batters: Rice, Washington E, Collins, Chicago .. Meusel, New York Weaver, Chicago .. Hengryx, Boston .3. Felsch, Chicago Judge, Washington Jamieson, Cleveland Jacobson, St. Louis Milan, Washington . Cobb, Detroft .322 Rogers Hornby, of St. Louis, con- tinues to head the National League batters who have played in fifty or more games. The St. Louis star knocked out 12 hits in his last six games, and boosted his average to 872.. J. Smith, a team-mate, who was the runner-up among the regu- lars last week, went into a slump and dropped to fifth place with an averagé of .326, while Nicholson of Pittsburg, came along strong, and now is runner-up to Hornsby with an average of .336.

Ross, announced hat Bie Baton Erie to ! ET FLICTS and White sox Loom as Contenders, -- An upheaval is due in both major league standings at the present rate of play of the leading teams. While the Brooklyn and Cincinnati Nation- als and the Cleveland and New York Americans are losing ground the New York and Pittsburg Nationals and Chicago Americans-are proceed- ing at a pace that promises a battle royal in both leagues. 2 Brooklyn held on to first place in the National league Sunday only by administering the first defeat. Pitis- burg suffered in seven games. THe Dodger twirlers were carried through by the heavy batting of their teammates in several contests last week. Cincinnati failed at the New York series, but succeeded in taking three games out of four from the tailend Philadelphjans. New York climbed back into third place by defeating Chicago. The Giant twirlers were invincible las*® week until Chicago batted Neht out of the box Saturday, breaking New York's winning streak of six games. Boston also is getting good pitching, but is handicapped by light batting. St, Louis was unable to turn its numerous hits into runs. : In the American league Cleveland was forced to call frequently on its two star boxmen, Coveleskie and Bagby, but the Indians won only half On Monday the league leaders began series with their eastern rival, New York. The Yankee sluggers could do lit- tle against the. Chicago pitchers, dropping three games out of the four, and were held even by Detroit, in- cluding yesterday's shutout. Chicago found a more worthy opponent in Boston, winning by a one-run mar- gin Friday and breaking even in the series by winning yesterday. St. Louis went into fourth place by out- playing 'Washington after splitting four games with Philadelphia. GEORGES DREW BIG SALARY Carpentier Returns to France With $100,000. Georges Carpentier has returned to France with approximately $100,- 000 in his treasury that he did not have when he came to the United States, according to Jack Curley. former wrestling promoter, who had charge of: the Frenchmen's tour. Curley make the afinouncement to correct the impression that the French champion carried away close to a half million dollars. Georges Carpentier is going to make good use of the money he cap- tured on his American tour. He has planned to use every penny of it to put his coal 'mine at Lens into opera- tion, and this with a view to having an established busingse in operatidn and 'on paying Dasis' when the day arrives that he must hang up the gloves for all time. Carpentier has owned extensive coal properties at Lens for sevpral years. When the war broke out, however, his property was made a part of the battle greunds and everything on it of any value was totally destroyed. ; mr ren SMITH DETHRONES M'TIGUB Outpoints Ex-Canadian Middleweight Champion in 14 Rounds, Jeff Smith of Bayonne, N.J., won the middleweight boxing champion- ship of Canada at the Armories in Halifax, Tuesday, by outpointing "Mike" McTigue in fourteen out of ifteen rounds.
