SISLER NEARS
COBB'SRECORD
St. Louis Star Has Good
Chance to Top Ty's Mark
Of 248 Hits in 1911.
BY GEORGE L. MoRELAND.

With but a week yet before the
season closes in both major leagues
II iss certainty that George Sisler
will lead the junior league in bat
ting, and IL he keeps up his present
pace he will not only hit at 400
clip, but he will dethrone Cobb of
the record the latter has so long
held-that of making more hits
during a season than any other
player. Cobb cracked out 24S in
1911, so that all the St Louis marvel
has to do this week is make twelve
hits. This, of course, is no easy
matter, for he has but six games
TO play. Still he has averaged two
hits a game for the last two weeks
and it is not beyond him to make
the necessary number by next
Sunday.
Jackson by his hard batting has
passed Speaker and is now in SEQ
ond place with .3S5. exactly fifteen
points behind Sisler.
There are eight players who have
scored over 100 runs this year.
This is a remarkable performance
and has seldom been accomplished
in any major league.
Rice, the local player. is so far
ahead in stolen bases that he <ill
lead all the others with ease. He
has purloined So.
Judge. with 96 runs, will likely
cross the century mark and he will
be the only one OF the Nationals to
gain that honor.
Bagby is the leader among the
pitchers. with % games won and IL
lost, and should win at least one
more game before the season closes.
AS the season closes next Sunday
The Herald will not print the aver
ages next Monday morning. But on
Tuesday will give the readers the
complete and final average for all
players in the American League
this season.
The averages up to Saturday IN
all departments follow:

Balkan War Breaks
Out in Lowell and
Heads Are Cracked

Convicted of assault and fined 500
yesterday by Judge Allison at Lowell,
for having cracked open the head OF
John Goch with a cane, C. G. Tobako-
Vich was in turn laid out, no sooner
than court had adjourned, by blow
on the head from a piece of iron pipe
in the hands of Goich, the man who
had caused his arrest on the assault
charge. Goich was then arrested on
the same charge that he had brought
against Tobakovich.
The trouble started over a discus
sion among five Slovenian miners con-
corning the home country. The dis
cussion grew heated, Marke Radulo-
vich, John Papara and Pete Jurich TAX
ing part in the talk with Goich and
Tobakovich. In the melee that follow
ed Goich was knocked out, in the
judgement of the court, by cane In
the hands of Tobakovich. Goich
brought charges against the other four
but only Tobakovich was held.
After seeing his countryman sue
cessfully prosecuted. Goich, according
to the officers, sought him out in a
pool hall at Lowell and proceeded to
take further revenge by landing with
his piece of iron pipe. Now both men
have cracked heads but the conditions
in court arereversed as to the prosecu-
ton and defense.

Inclined valve action. found only in

The Light Six is the only car, with
the exception of two selling consid-

shaft and connecting rods machined
