 STILL LEADING
Athletics First Baseman Tops
 American League Eaters

Chicago, June 22 LF - Jimmy Foxx, the Athletics first baseman, slipped out of the 400 batting aver age class during the ninth week or the American league campaign. but remained at the top of regular workmen with a mark of .396. un- official averages revealed today.
 Foxx was topped by big Robert Fothergill of Detroit, who became the leagues only 400 batsmen. by increasing his average 22 points to .4Os during the week. Fothergill. however, had been to bat less than half as many times as the Phiia- delphia jack of all trades. Right be- hind Foxx was Tony Lazzeri of New York. who hammered the ball hard enough to raise his average from .377 to 1894. Other leaders: Coch- rane. Philadelphia, .Ss6; Manush, St. Louis, .37s; Simmons, Philadel- phia, .362: Miller Philadelphia, .363; Gehringer. Detroit. .3S2; Combs, New York, .345: Fonseca, Cleveland, .s45; S. Rice, Washing ton. .343.
 Six men. led by FoXx, all batting better than 300, kept the Athletics in the team batting lead with an average of .319, three points better than a week ago. The As had scored 367 runs since the beginning of the campaign. and had held all op- ponents to POT. the best marks in the league. Bucky Harris Detroit Tigers speeded up in batting during the week and added eight points to bring their average to .3o6. The Yankees had a mark of 300 even. reaching that figure for the first time this season.
 The Athletics domination of the league extended into the pitching department. with Bob Grove. south paw ace, rated as the most efficient hurler. Grove had a record of 10 victories and one defeat, while Ed die Rommel. his teammate. was credited with five triumphs and no defeats. George Uhle of Detroit was
