CUTLER SHINES IN OLDER LOOP Jack FOurnier Maintains Huge Lead In Home
 Runs

Hagen Cuyler of Pittsburg seems to have come to stay among the heavy hitters in the National league. This youngster is was supposed, needed more seasoning but he has kept up a pretty fair gait during the past week, horn ing in among the hitters in the league. He has also begun to show the speed on the bases which he exhibited in the Southern association last year, where he set record in pilfered sacks.
 There has been little change among the pace-makers in slugging. Some de- termined assaults have been made on Hornsby's position at the top but he is still there, although his percentage has been shaded little. Wheat has gone to second place, mainly because Kelly and Snyder of the Giants have let up in their stick work.
 Fournier of Brooklyn has taken a precipitate slide, landing below the .340 hitters. He has, however, not per mitted his slump to interfere with his fence busting activities. Hammering out two circuit smashes in one game and tacking on another later on, he has put his total at 17, only three re- moved from his American league rival. There is no second" in circuit drives, Fournier's chief rivals being far away, with Rogers Hornsby nearest with nine.
 There has been some fast stepping on the bases with Carey of Pittsburg and Grantham of Chicago, having the race temporarily to themselves.
 Frisch of New York, who is trying to hold the lead in total runs, has tried to prove that base stealing is not lost art, by annexing three pilfered sacks.
 New York has only added one point in team hitting, although it has had it more or less soft during the week, battling the ''cripples" of the league. Chicago, which has been in woeful hitting slump, has fallen to fifth, Pitts burg is still last.
 The Pirates work on the offensive has been even better than usual, but some of the others have let down Cin- cinnati, which has improved in hitting, has dropped off in fielding.
 Nehf and Jonnard of the Giants are credited with five victories and no de. feats among the pitchers, but neither is entitled to the lead, considering the brilliant work of "Dazzy" Vance of Brooklyn. Vance actually leads with F and 3, with Bentley of New York next, s and 2. Alexander and Keen of Chicago, Kremer of Pittsburg and Grimes of Brooklyn have been effective.

REFORM LICKS ALICEYILLERS

REFORM, Ala, July 4.-(Special. ) Reform lost to Aliceville, 3-2 when Re form was unable to hit in the. pinches only in the sixth, when they punched a single, a triple and long sacrifice fly to register two runs, but were helpless in all other frames. Aliceville scored one in the initial frame and counted two more more in the third on a fluke home run down right foul line with a runner on base.
 Hollingsworth was not in uniform this afternoon. He was in Electric Mills, Miss, and pitched for Elrod until the thirteenth, when he lost 2-1. He gave up five singles during the entire route, and should have won his game 10, an error paving the way for the tieing run by Electric Mills in the fourth, while two measley bingles be- hind second in the 18th paved the way for the winning counter, was the re- port that reached here today.

 Babe Ruth of the Yankees is having hard time to keep among the lead CTS and he barely got under the wire. . Cobb of Detroit, and Falk of Chicago, have been coming" but as a. matter of fact all have receded in percentage except Jamieson and Falk.

Meu- 7sel of New York, has been finding it hard to get back in his stride since his suspension. The changes as a whole among the hard hitters have not been marked.
 Ruth has monopolized the limelight in long drives, Babe having tackled on three for a total of 21. Williams of St. Louis, has been unable to get the ball out of the lot and nurses his H. Jacobson, Williams team mate, , has welded the stick to better effect, having II to his credit. s.fs
 Eddie Collins of Chicago, has shown a lot of speed on the bases having q total of 19 pilfered sacks.
 Apparently there has been return to the sacrificing game as any number of bunters have gone into double fig ures lately. Apparently Washington, which has forged itself to the top in the race, find this strategy of some value as Harris leads with 20 and Ruel has IS.
 ! Washington has fallen to fourth place ill hitting despite it's otherwise brilliant race. Cleveland and St. Louis are contending for the lead, with New York showing a little better stick work than formerly.

 Thurston of Chicago, has worked himself up to the leading pitcher in the league with F wins and four de- feats. Mogridge and Johnson of Wash slngton, are nearest.
