SESLER CUTTING
DOWN COBB'SLEAD
Has Made Hits in Is Consec-
utive Games, but Ty's Adj
vantage Is Considerable

Ty cobb is so near the end of the season
and 50 high does his batting average stand
today that there is reason to suspect the
Detroit demon may add another 400 to
his brilliant series of batting feats. Aver
ages published today show he is leading the
league, with an average of .3S9.
George Sisler. st. Louis is nearest Cobb
among the regulars with .352 iris Speak
er H. third with .347. other 800 htters are
Bader, Boston; Ruth. Boston, Russell. Chi
cago Russell New York; Bodie, Athletics :;
Harris, Cleveland Chapman, Cleveland, and
Neach. Detroit.
Eddie Roush. Cincinnati is still far out
ahead in his battle for the leadership in
the National League. He is hitting .347 to-
day against .322 for Hornsby. Cruise, st.
Louis. is third with .313.
Other National League 800 batsmen are
Groh, Cincinnati; Kauff New York; H.
Wheat, Brooklyn; Clarke. Cincinnati; Will
holt. New York, and Zimmerman, New York
Siser is gradually cutting down the lead
held by Cobb. BY hitting safely i'm yester-
days game with the White Sox Siser has
now made hits in fifteen consecutive games.
In that time he obtained twenty-three hits
in fftyeight times at bat for an average
of 397.
Cobb, who leads Sisler by thirty-seven
points. had his streak shattered yesterday
after hitting safely in eight straight games.
During the run Tyrus made eighteen hits
in thrty-three official visits to the plate
for an average of .5i5.
The fight for third, fourth and fifth posi-
tions in the National League is keen for
only two points separate Cruise, Groh and
Kauff The first named has an average of
.31l.
Here's how the leading five in each ma jor
league are batting this morning:
