LAJOE MAY GET
THE BUZZ WAGON RIDE

While the award of the automobile
for the heavyweight slugging champ
ionship Of the big league cannot be
made until the official figures are an
nounced, there is but little doubt that
Lajoie will get the buzz wagon. The
compilers of unofficial figures
throughout the country differ some
what as to the batting averages Of
Lajoie and Cobb, but all agree that
Lajoie tops the Georgian. II would
indeed cause an upheaval if the OFF,
cial dope gave the top honors to the
Detroit outgardener and as there is
but a difference of three points in the
general unofficial reports, it is any
thing but beyond the pale of i'm
possibility for this TO occur. A diff
ference of a few times at bat and a hit
or two would bring it about in a jiffy
and unofficial figures have been
known to differ many times to
greater extent than those mentioned.
