BATTERS IN CLOSE RACE.
Cobb, Jackson and Speaker Are Well
Bunched.

CHICAGO, September 2O.-Cobb OF De-
troit with an average Of 1856: Jackson of
Cleveland with .374. and Speaker of Bos-
ton with 369, are making a neck-and-
neck finish in the race for first batting
honors in the American League. Cobb's
twelve-point lead and the approach of
the seasons end make him favorite
now Places in the 800 class of the
American League are held mainly by
veterans. Henriksen of Boston, whose
illness has kept him out of practically
all the games of the latter half of the
season, pounded the ball for an average
Of 80 while he was playing his TWEEN
ty-five games and that percentage is
enough to keep him in fourth place.
