Maps Led in Doubles.

In the American the Cleveland team had
the greatest number of doubles, New York
exceled in triples and the Athletics led in
round-trip smashes. The Nationals lead
ers were the Phllies in two-baggers, the
Chcagos in three-baggers and the Brook
lyns in four-baggers. The Americans team
records were the better in every respect.
The eastern clubs were the hardest hit
ting in the American League, while in the
National the western teams had the adj
vantage. Philadelphia furnished the in
dividual leaders for both leagues, Harry
Davis topping the American slugologists
and Sherwood Magee the National swat
brigade. The Athletics captain and first
sacker raped out forty doubles, eight
triples and twelve homers-a total of 1872
extra bases. Elmer Flick and George Stone
ranked second. each with 131. and there
were two other century plants-Napoeon
Iajoie Q23) and Sam Crawford O13). Davis

and neither did Flick.
