Jim BottomIey Catching Up

As SIugger

Rogers Hornsby, rated as the
best batter in the National Leagua
and by some as the leading sticker
OF the country, took on an added
burden he had not looked for when
he assumed the managerial job of
the Cards.
The extra trouble is that of keep
ing his club in the race as we'll
as keeping himself in the front
rank as the champion hitter. The
strain is beginning to tell. and now
there looms up the possibility that
one of his own men, Jim Bottom
ley, the Cards first sacker, will
press him for the crown of the
leagues champion batter.
Hornsby has been in one OF the
worst slumps of his career, lie
spite the assertion once made by
Nap Lajoie that good batters are
never in slump, their drives sim
ply going straight at fielders in
stead of out of their reach.
In the last month Hornsby's fat
batting average that used t. ex-

At the same time Bottomlev has
gone along in steady style, gaining
about thirty points until he is with

If McGraw pulls his Giants

and Charlie ComiSkey won four in

Thereafter no manager won more
than three in a row until McGrsaw
made it four in 1924. Now the one
