REDLEG PUNCH

New York, June 16.-Gf1-The
heavy-clubbing tactics shown by the
Cincinnati Reds since they opened
their eastern invasion at Boston two
weeks ago have lifted one Of their
number, Marty Callaghan, to the
batting pinnacle of the National
league-ahead of even the great
Hornsby who again is the Hornsby
of two or three years ago.
Callaghan tops the league today
with a neat mark of .429 for 81
games, according to figures released
today and including Wednesdays
games. Hornsby, the only other
National league regular above 400,
is IL points behind Marty with .418
for As engagements.
A new leader also is to be dis
cerned in the vanguard of the pitch
ing princes, where the flaming
thatch Larry Benton is out ahead of
all the rest. This citizen Of Gin
cinnati. who tolls for the DOWNFALL
of his home city and the advance
ment of the Giants, has ten victories
and two defeats. all of them COM
plete games. Benton has worked
10 innings without requiring re-
lief.
Lucas Out in Front
Following him is Red Lucas Of
Cincinnati with eight won and two
lost. Red might be out in front t
this moment if he had not been 50
thoughtless as to thrust his left
wrist into the path of line drive
as he worked in batting Practice
some weeks back. Lucas leads with
three shut-outs.
Carl Mays of Cincinnati has won
four and lost one, while Watson
Clark of Brooklyn, Flint Rhem of
st. Louis and Fred Fitzsimmons Of
New York arr tied for the next po-
sition. each with six victories and
two defeats.
Following Callaghan are these
regular batsmen: Grantham, Pitts
burgh. and Sisler, Boston. 1894;
Douthit, st. Louis, 1888; Picinich,
Cincinnati, $3.50; Roettger, St. Louis,
.371; Bottomley, St. Louis, 1854;
OFT, New York, 1868: and Paul
Waner. Pittsburgh, 1862. \
St. Louis players have something
Of monopoly on first places in the
various departments. Bottomley
leads in runs scored, with 81, and
Douthit in base hits, with 81. Frisch
clings to the base-stealing suprem-
acy, with IA, and Las added two
base hits to his speciality, showing
the way with Is.
Hornsby Likes Homers
There the Cardinal strangle-hold
ends. Hornsby's Is home runs con-
stitute the best mark in the senior
league to date, but the lead in that
speciality changes almost every day
among Bissonette Of Brooklyn, Will
son Of Chicago, Bottomley and
Hornsby.
Curt Walker Of Cincinnati has
turned in the greatest number Of
triples. eight.
In team fielding, Cincinnati's .o?6
is good enough to enable the Reds
to lead the Cubs by three points and
the up-rushing Cardinals by five.
The Cincinnati team also has adj
vanced in the batting table, where
/! the Reds stand fourth with an aver
age Of .281. The Giants in third
place are only one point better.
The Pirates still lead in team
batting, but their mark has been
shaved down to an even 800, with
the inspired Cardinals only two
| points back.
