Butler Rounding Into Shape for Friday Conflict With Purdue
Outheld Stars
Average 1872
BIZ United Press

BU United Press
GAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 49,
~ How would you like to have
an outf1eld able to hit for an
average of .372? That's the
sort of an outfeld the San
Francisco club had the past
summer in Smead Jolley, Roy
johnson and Earl AverilI.
Jolley topped the league in
hitting with an average of
.4O4, the highest mark ever
made in this section and the
third time in the existence Of
the league that a player has
batted more than 400 John
son batted 800 and Averill, 354
An interesting angle to thi
is that both johnson and Av.
erill will be with big league
clubs next spring, johnson
with Detroit and Averill Will
Cleveland, but Jolley, the hard
est hitter Of the three, will re-
main in the minors unless
some major league club buys
him this winter.
