New York, May 10.-A new rival
and one old plotter sprang into new
sports fame today as they wrested
batting leadership in the American
league from iris Speaker and started
an argument all their own over who
should carry the banner.
It's no new thing to see the name
of Stuffy McInnis hanging around
among the first batters of the coun-
try. but George Sisler, in spite of his
batting proWess, had never seen his
name printed at the top of the Amer

iris went hitless with eight times
at bat added to his total yesterday.
Neither Sisler nor McInnis played, so
kept the averages they had accumu-
lated before hand.
The addition of McInnis to the select
circle of swat demons is something
of shock for those who predicted
that when the Athletics first sacker
failed to hit his stride last year, he
was slipping. 1t appears far more
likely that McInnis felt keenly his as
ISOLATION with such an outfit as Con-
ME Mack was perpetrating on the
American league, and just simply
couldn't keep up his old pace.
A HIT EACH GAME.
Thrown this year with hitting
club McInnis has been breezing along
at remarkable pace. Since the sea-
son opened the worlds smallest first
baseman has hit safely at lease once
in every game played. That gives
him record of having hit safely once
in II consecutive games.
Sisler is leading the league with an
average of .405. McInnis is following
with 1882 and Speaker follows with
1878.
