George Sisler Didn't
Fatten His
Average

George Sisler, the st. Louis first-
sacker and the American Leagues
batting champion, did not fatten
his ciouting average much during
his recent visit to Georgia avenue.
For a man numbered among the
i've leading hitters OF the league,
he looked rather cheap.
Sisler came to bat 21 times and
got six hits. including one double
and one triple. This gave him an
average OF .2s5 for the FIVE games
against the Griffmen.
In addition, II so happened that
Sisler had no especially great
fielding to do and many fans were
surprised. thinking him a sort OF
fireworks player at all times.
