Cetter

7 Asst week Jimmy Dykes, of our AS,
IL broke into select company as to
run getting. He tied with Eddie Col
Inns, Joe Judge and Eddie Murphy in
making four talles i'm single contest.
Murphy also had four hits in one con =
test, but he wasn't alone in that,
either. Buck Weaver, Sam Rice, George
Sisler and Tim Hendryx also swatted
the pellet safely four times in one game.
DOC" johnson, of Cleveland, is the
leading artilleryman of the American
League. He has been poking away at
an average of .375. Iris Speaker, man
ager of the same club, is the foremost
run getter. He has scored twenty nine
times. Buck Weaver heads the list OF
those who have amassed many base
blows. His forty seven is the best in
Ban Johnson's circuit.
Babe" Ruth, of course. is leading
the league in round trip clouts. Harry
Hooper, Joe Judge and Wally Pipp are
tied for the triple record, with four
each, and Joe Jackson has all the best
of It in doubles, with thirteen.
After poor start, Ty Cobb started
a hitting streak. He hit safely in ten
consecutive contests before he was
stopped by Allan Russell.

Here in 1918

George Burns, who has been with the
AS for three seasons, has been sold to
the, Cleveland Indians and will be given
orders to report to the Cleveland Club
tomorrow
This announcement was made by Con-
ME Mack this morning. who added that
he believed Burns would be glad to JON
Speakers club.
II have not yet told Burns" said
Mack this morning "but I feel that he
will be glad to join the Cleveland Club.
He was not satisfied here because he
could not play regularly do not blame
him for that stand. for he is too good d
hitter to remain on the bench. How
ever. there was no place for him to play
regularly on my club. Burns is a splen
did chap personally, and ] wish him the
best of luck. I thought Chicago would
make an offer for Burns, but there was
nothing doing"
Burns has been dissatisfied with his
position on the AS since last year when
he gave up his job at first base and went
to the outtield. Burns does not like the
outfeld. 1t is not known what position
he will play with the Indians. Doc
Johnston. the Cleveland first sacker, is
now leading the league in hitting so
that there's no chance of him being dis =
placed.
Burns, who is n Philadelphia boy.
started his big league career at Detroit
in 1914. At the end Of the 1917 cam
paign he was sold to Mack and the fol
lowing season had his best year. He
finished second to Cobb in batting with
an average Of 352.

Crouer Repeats His 1913
Feat of Winning Ten
Games in a RO,U

GROVER CLEVELAND ALENAN-
DER is we'll on his way toward
bettering his own record. The burly
westerner has won ten straight games,
which equals his own mark of ten con-
secutive victories. His ten straight
streak came in 1913 when he was with
the Pbils. The records show nine vic
tories for Alex. but they include only
games up to last Wednesday. 1.-THE
Great pitched his tenth straight win
over st. Louis yesterday.
Alex started this season like a good
loser. He dropped his first two games
and then began his winning streak, one
of his triumphs being a shut out win
over Cravath's club. Alex is the real
leader of the National League hurlers,
although Lee r. Meadows has four wins
and no defeats accredited to him.
Rogers Hornsby is the batting pace
setter of Heydler's circuit. with a mark
of .403. Gavvy Cravath in few
games, heads the list with .429. Heine
Groh is second with Jake Daubert
third. Cy Williams tops the Cravath
batters with an average of $50. De-
Witt Lebourveau has taken a terrific
drop in his hitting. The Frenchman
has slipped from among the five leading
hitters to an even 300. Davy Ban
croft is the only other Phil in the
select division. lie also is whaling at
the gait of an even 300.

Knowing he was doomed man,
Levinsky's interest in the subsequent

possible.
