Organized baseball will have duly
proclaimed champion batsmar when
the National Commission awards the
Chalmers trophy during the Week

OF the contest will be determined on

infielder fumbles, for 1t Is often qu6s q
tionable whether perfect play would
have resulted In his retirement. La
joie's record contains few hits that
are not genuine. Wagner is given
the shade by scorers oftener than Lar
ry but not as frequently as the Ge or.
! Gia Peach, whose sprinting anc splrlt
are his best assets. s
Lajoie is likely to pile up percent.
