LUKE OF LANDERS TOPS ALI DUSTY
 SCORERS W77H CHIEF LARSON NEXT
Carrazza of (. C. L, Third-Lock Shop Tops Teams In Counting-Big Chief Leads
 Foul Shooters.

Mickey" Luke, nashy little cap tain and forward Of the Landers five. led the Industrial basketball league in scoring this season, aver aging exactly 1O points game and totalng l?0 points in l9 contests. This speedy youngster, although handicapped by playing with the Boys club on Monday night and then with landers, with a totally different system of play, on Tuesday evening. overcame his disadvantage and proved the big gun in the green clad offense. His 4 field goals were the most made by any player in the circuit.
 Veteran and venerated "C'hlef' Larson, stellar backcourt man of the Corbin Cabinet Lock quintet, was runner up 10 young Luke. This sur rrising showing of the Chief" was due largely to his 34 fouls, the most shot by any league player. Alte- rether, the old boy fipped in 9S points, Darby" Carrazza, his team mate, running third with S2. Other leaders in order were Jasper, F. & F. Cerbin. s points; Harold Nelson nt Fafnir and "Bunny' Swanson of RusswIn with 79 apiece, and Mickey Bucherri, Luke's mate, with 74. Jack Fslletier was the Stanley Works high man with s5 points. while Les Woodford topped the Rulers with bs.
 Looking at the other end Of the list, 1t is found that H. Pau)son Of Fatnir scored only 1 points in ? games, the least of any player who sot into every contest. c, Larson Of Landers got lone counter in seven games, while Eecano of the same team went scoreless in eight starts,
 Tn C. c, l.. boys, chiefly due to Larson and CarrazZa, led the league in team scoring with 354 points, al though the Landers quintet, which ran second with 525, scored one more field goal than Tobin's pets r SF. Cerhin ran in third place in the scoring, the great defense put up by Arburr and Paris being the factor which put them near the top of the league standing. The Rule Shop was poor last The Russwin players showed a lamentable lack of ability to score from the iS-foot line anc traiIed the circuit in this respect,

Great HOrnShy

Rogers Hornsby, premier batsman Of the National league, has made a good start toward winning the bat ting crown for the sixth successive time.
 Only the other day John McGraw paid Hornsby glowing compliment by calling him the greatest right handed batsman of all time.
 Hornsby is a natural hitter. Ma. tional league catchers tell me that bail that cuts ihe heart of the plate is the most effective style 10 use against Hornsby. At the same time they admit he often murders it.
 It IS baseball truth that prac- tically all of the great batters right or left handed, prefer a ball just out. side or inside 10 one right over the plate.
 They explain it by saving they car get more power into their drive when hitting at such pitches.

Serious Fault

One feature of major league ball that Is certain to trouble Groves for a time, is the wait 'em out tactics the players will adopt when batting against him.
 Groves came to the majors with the reputation of being wild also having d tendency to have one bad inning, in which lack of control would undo a perfectly pitched game up to that time.
 Groves will probably find himself in the hole more times than he has the edge on the batter, because Of the keen eye possessed by most ma ior leaguers and their refusal to bite at bad balls.
 Until Groves acquires control that will enable him to get the edge on the batter, he is going to be forced to do a lot Of pitching,
 His case Is no different from that which confronts all recruit pitchers who have reputation of being wild. He should overcome it.

SoX for Collins

Regardless of where the Chicago White Sox finish in the American league race it is already apparent that the team is going to hustle, q pleasing feature of baseball.
 Having the good will of his play CTS means that 50 per cent of man ager's troubles are Immediately eliminated.
 The Chicago White Sox are for Eddie Collins to man. His bril- liant career as player inspires them and the regard they have for him as 3 man makes every player give his best from start to finish.
 There seems to be a greater dash to Collins play today than ever be. fore in his long career He is show ing the spirit he wants his players to emulate.
