H0RNSBY RESUMES
Lead IN HITTING
Marty Cauashan Follows His
Team Down Batting Ladder

New York. June 20 LPl-When the
Reds fell from the lead, Marty Call
laghan went with them: The lar
ripping Cincinnati outfielder slumped
with his team sufficiently to permit
Rogers Hornsby to resume his ac-
customed post in the vanguard of
National League battles, according
to averages issued today and in
Guiding games of Wednesday.
The Rajah himself is flying not
quite SO high as he was last week.
but he remains in the 400 circle
with Alb for fifty-one games.
Hornsby's average is based upon Al
singles, II doubles, two triples and
- home runs, for a total Of ~ hits.
The Boston manager is one homer
behind Jim Bottomley OF st. Louis
who leads the the hectic National
League smuggling derby. and one
ahead OF Del Bissoneite of Brooklyn.
Hack Wilson is crovding the three
top men with an even dozen circuit
blows
Next in line after Hornsby are the
following regular batsmen: Gran
than. Pittsburgh. .3Ss; Douthit. st.
Louis, .SS4: Callaghan, Cincinnati,
.%6s; P. Waner, Pittsburgh. sos:
Picinich, Cincinnati, 1864; Bottom
ley. st. Louis, .3sl; Hoettgern. ST
Louis. .357; OFT, New York, .35G;
and Rressler. Brooklyn. 1854.
Bottomley heads the league not
only in home runs but also in runs
scored with So and in doubles with
10. His team mate, Douthit. tops
the field for total hits, with l04, and
is the first major league performer
to pass the century post. Curt
Walker sets the pace in triples with
eight
Del Bissonette, has battcd in 81
runs to march in first place. Frisch,
as usual, leads the base stcalers. His
mark now is Is.
Larry Benton of New York retain
ed the front seat among the pitchers
with eleven victories and two defeats
in thirteen complete games. Ben
toms percentage was SAG. Second
to him came Red Lucas of Cincin-
natl. with eight victories and a pair
Of defeats for 500 even.
Lucas shares with Sheriff Blake of
Chicago the honor of pitching the
greatest number OF shut olts--thrce.
Carl Mays of Cincinnati, is third
in the standing with four victories
TO offset a single defeat. while Blake
Of Chicago and Rhem OF st. Louis
are tied for fourth, each with six
games won and two lost.
In team batting the Pirates re-
main in the lead, still with mark
of 800 to the point. but the menac-
ing Cardinals are only five notches
removed. The Giants hover at 1872,
one point ahead of the Reds.
Ousted from their honors on the
offensive, the Reds maintained their
habit Of smart fielding. Their .a14
was two points better than the
marks OF the Cardinals and the
Cubs. who shared second place with
.972.

where they are whetting their knives
for a fight for life.
1.-THE actual requirements OF the
motor truck users of the country are
far more easily estimated than are those
Of the passenger car companies" Mr.
White continued. Few truck users add
to their fleets unless they absolutely
need the vehicles to cover their trans
portation needs. They do not buy
trucks because they are attracted by
pretty paint jobs or graceful lines. Ii
their vehicles in use have mileage con-
cealed under their engine hoods. they
are not replaced until that mileage has
been reduced to minimum.
Demand Is Growing.
1.-THE demand for motor Transports
ton Is growing and 1t will continue to
grow, but the spurs to sales In the
truck industry are by no means the
same as exist in the passenger car sit
uation. What the truck industry needs
is sterilization. not only in specifica-
tons and performance. but In terms and
price requirements. The fact is I'M
deniable that in many cases far too
high trade-in value is placed on used
trucks"
This was confirmed by one OF the
chief competitors of the speaker, who is
known for his outspoken expression OF
opinion. He declared that truck
seldom was traded in until its life was
to be measured by the briefest span.
when a passenger car dealer takes a
car in trade, usually it will run. While
truck has run left in it it is sell
dom traded in" he said.
Both advised extreme caution in
tradc-ins as a prime requisite for the
