Activities Among the Schools
M A R G H

1t was in the lovely month of March;
Nature began to color the earth
With her sturdy golden crocuses
And daring daffodils in their mirth
Fen shy violets peeked through the SOIL
And white narcissus swayed in the breeze
Do you wonder that we are happy
With such blithe and gay Gonzales as these3
Soon the swallows will come to our land
And fill the air with chattering glee;
Then the bright humming birds will follow
To work in flowers beside the bee

LEADOFF OXX
IS INCREASED
Dominated American Bat
Frs With $50; Grove
Leads ALI Hurlers

CHICAGO. Aug. 3.-R-The
domination Of Jimmy Fox OF the
Athletics, over the American league
batting situation, became more pro-
nounced during the 18th week of
the season, averages released today,
including Wednesdays games, re-
vlal. Connie Mack's first baseman
had a mark of 1870, IL points better
than that Of Helm Manush Of st.
Louis. who was in second place.
In shaking off the Manush men,
ace. Foxx clouted the ball at q .423
clip during the week, a pace which
proved much too brisk for his near
est rival. The week also gave Geo.
Herman Ruth opportunity to break
into the first 10 society for the first
tine Of the season.
Foxx was followed by these regu-
lars: Manush, st. Louis. .375; Sim
mons, Philadelpi la, 1862; Lazzeri,
New York, 1851; Fonseca, Cleveland.
1853; Heilmann. Detroit, .354: Combs
New York, $50; Ruth, New York,
.34S; Cochrane, Philadelphia, .346
and Fothergill, Detroit. .345.
An increase in the activity of the
Yankee bat boosted Miller Higgins
team into a tie with the Athletics
for first position in team batting.
The Yanks picked up four points to
make their season average .307,
while Philadelphia reached the
same figure by adding two points.
Detroit, tied with the AS last week,
found the pitching more difficult In
the east and slipped to third with
a mark Of .30l.
i Philadelphia Lad collected a sea-
stricted opposition to 377.
Connie Mack's pitchers continued
to dominate the hurlers working in
turn with Robert Moses Grove lay
ing out the route. Grove won n
game for a record Of II victories
against two defeats, while RUDE
Walberg accomplished two triumphs
to make his record l6 wins ind five
defchrs. George Earnshaw's collec-
ton was the same as Walbergs.
Tom Zachary Of New York won an
other game and brought his record
to six straight Victories.
The team fieldii leadership re-
manned with Philadelphia which
had a season average Of ~ the
same as q week ago. st. Louis with
