GEHRIG RETAINS LEAD IN BATTING
Yankee First BaSeman Hits
 Harder Than Al Simmons

Chicago, Sept. 13 LP-American league pitching had the edge over Lou Gehrig to the extent of trim ming seven points from his aver age during the past week. but the activities of Al Simmons bat pro- duced a loss of one point and the Yankee first baseman remained in front by seven points in the hectic battle for the junior league slugging crown.
 Unofficial averages which included Wednesdays games revealed that Gehrig topped the list with mark of .3S7, with Simmons trailing with an even 300. While the two leaders were being outpointed by the pitch CTS. George Herman Ruth improved his average by four points to 1884 and hoped into third place ahead of Mickey Cochrane of the Athletics.
 Gehrig also retained his grip on two other offensive leaderships. He drove in six runs to boost his total 156. and his total. base collection
 
 out one homer and had total of 45, which was six better than Geh- rigs runner-up mark. and had scored 13S runs to lead in that department. Urban Hodapp. young Cleveland star also hung on to two titles. He added two doubles to his string for total of 45, and had hit safely 205 times, the latter accomplishment giving him an edge of four hits over Gehrig.
 Marty McManus, Detroit Tiger third baseman. stole two bases and led the league with 21. while Earl Combs of the Yankees, retained the lead in triples with IS. although he failed to get a shot of this variety during the week. Other leading regulars following Gehrig, Simmons and. Ruth were: Cochrane, Philadel- phia, .35S; Porter, Cleveland, .354; E. Rice, Washington. .351; Hodapp. Cleveland. .351; Manush,. St. Louis Washington, .551: Reynolds. Chica- so. .349; Morgan, Cleveland, .547; NTOT1u, w dSlllIlS lOll. .ofi.
 The fire ball of Bob Grove, ace of Connie Mack's pitching corps, ac- counted for two more victories dur ing the week. leaving him with 26 triumphs and five defeats. and long lead over other American league slabmen. Grove also had struck out 1S9 batsmen and led by a big margin in that department. Young Wes Terrell of Cleveland, came to grief after winning 13 straight, and was beaten twice during the week, leav- ing him with a record of 24 victories and il defeats.
 The collective Yankee batting average was improved by one point to give Bob Shawkey's team undis- puted possession of the team leader ship with a mark of .306. Washing ton lost a point and was second at ,304. The Athletics continued to show the way in defense tactics, handling the ball at a .975 clip. the same as last week, while the Sena- tors remained second with .973, also the same as last week. Detroit made five double plays and led with a sea- son total of 145.

ROCHESTER FACES
 NINE MORE GAMES
Baltimore Has Slim Chance to
 Overhaul the Leaders
Bv the Associated Press


 The Rochester Redwings led the International league pennant race by seven and one-half game today with only nine more game on their sched- ule.
 Baltimore. holding second place, had a mathematical chance to over haul the leaders, but it was so slim as to be virtually non- existent. As the situation now stands, Rochester can clinch the pennant by winning three of it's remaining nine games even should Baltimore win all of its 10 last contests.
 Both teams registered victories yesterday. Rochester easily defeat ed Toronto, Al. behind some ex- cellent pitching by Paul Derringer and Baltimore won from Newark, 20. Jim Weaver held the Newark batsmen in subjections all night and was especially strong with men on base
 Reading won the final game of the series from Jersey City. 7-S. as Johnny Welch held the Skeeters to six scattered hits. Reading made the most of the nine hits permitted by Pitts.
 Montreal slugged out a 1S-4 vic tory over Buffalo in the third night game of the evening. The Royals clouted out IT hits and scored eight runs in the last two innings to make their margin secure. The triumph heightened Montreals lead over fourth place Toronto to four games.

TERRY IS STILL
 HEADING HITTER
Only Regular in National League
 With Mark Over 400

New York, Sept. 13 R>-With the end of the season just around the corner, Bill Terry of the New York Giants still is the only regular among the National League batters who is hitting above the 400 mark. Terry has been having occasional difficulties during the past week or SO, but the averages released today, which include Wednesdays games, still credit him with a .404 average and a lead of eight points over his nearest rival, Babe Herman of Brooklyn.
 Other contenders for the seasons batting crown have fallen far be- hind, Chuck Klein of Philadelphia, holder of third place among the regulars, has dropped to .3S2. Be- hind him come O'Poul, Philadel- phia, .3So; Stephenson, Chicago, .375; P Waner, Pittsburgh, .37S; Lindstrom, New York. .36S; Wat kins, St. Louis, .365; Cuyler Chica- go, .363; Traynor Pittsburgh, S6O; and Hafey. St. Louis. 1852.
 In addition to holding the top place among the batters, Terry con- tinues to hold first place in the number of blows made. He has hit safely 231 times while Klein is sec ond with PA hits.
 The young Philadelphia slugger continues to hold the rank of lead ing all-around batter of the circuit despite the record smashing efforts of Hack Wilson of Chicago. Klein was hit more doubles than any rival his total of 51 falling just short of the league record and holds two more second places with 136 runs and 143 runs batted in. Wilson, whose record total of AS home runs keeps him far ahead in that re- spect, has established another new mark by driving in 163 runs, beat ing by four the record he set last season. Wally Berger of oBston is second in home run hitting with a 34 total.
 Adam Comorosky of Pittsburgh continues to head the three-base hitters with 23 while kiki Cuyler of Chicago heads the list in scoring and base stealing. He has tallied 140 times and has stolen S4 sacks. Paul Wane of Pittsburgh has come up to take two second places His IT triples put him next to Comorosny while the same number of thefts gave him a tie with Herman. who also is runnerup in doubles with A..
 The New York Giants hold team honors in two respects. Their bat ting mark of 1920 gives them six point margin over St. Louis while a .975 fielding average is good for tie with Cincinnati.
 Clarence Mitchell. veteran left handler of New York, has won ten games and lost three for the leagues highest pitching average, .769. While Ray Phelps of Brook lyn heads the hurlers who start more frequently with IS victories and four defeats for .6S4 average. Mitchell has pitched only four com plete games to eleven for Phelps.

Games 10 play - Chicago fl, St. Louis Is, Brooklyn 1S New York l 4.
 The to ? triumph of the Cardi- nals over the Giants in yesterdays game was a set back that will be hard for. the Giants to overcome. On the basis of past performances, the Giants seem to be equally matched with the Cubs and Robins in the few games they have to play while the Cards have forced the fans to throw their dope sheets into the waste bas- ket with their recent spurt.
 Yesterday they put on a ninth in ming rally to make it three out of four over the Giants. With the score tied at the start of the ninth. big Jim Chaplin, second Giant hurler weak ened and the Cards poled out four hits which, with a Giant errors, pro- duced three runs to win the game before the Giants could even threat en to stop the rally.
 Chicago's slugging Cubs had little trouble in holding their slim lead. They hit early and late in their first game against the Philles and with ; Hack Wilson's 49th home run in the second and six run rally in the sixth as the high spots, they came out with a r to triumph
 The Robins made fast start against Ray Kolp and finished their part of the scoring in their ! to 3 victory over Cincinnati in five in nings as Lopez and Wright hit time ly, homers. Ray Moss had only one bad inning and all the Cincinnati runs came in the sixth.
 Babe Ruth continued his pursuit of Wilson in the seasons home run race and furnished the one ray of light for the New York Yankees as they dropped completely out of the American league pennant chase. The Babe hit homer 46 in the third in ming, but his teammates errors en- abled the Detroit Tigers to stay in the running and finally to win out in a ninth inning rally. to 4, The Tanks lost half game to the Phil adelphia Athletics. who were idle TOT a second Qay, ana al the same time lost their chance of finishing better than a half game behind the worlds champions.
 Washington, however, gained half a game and once more is 1-2 games behind the leaders. Off to a six run lead in the first two innings the Sen- ators barely staggered through to an to victory over the Chicago White Sox, who scored five runs in the seventh.
 Two games of no particular im- portance in the standings went ten innings and both were decided by 5 to 4 scores. The Boston Braves came from far behind to defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates by that margin at Chatham and Spohrer found Lar ry French for doubles in the tenth. Boston's other team. the Red Sox scored four times in the ninth to tie the score against the St. Louis Browns as Phil Todt hit a last min ute homer only to have the Browns come back for their fifth run in the extra inning.

HOLLYWOOD, April (N.A.N.A).-
Lucille Webster Gleason will be Holly
woods first woman producer.
It's an achievement to be first any
thing in this village, but to break down
the barriers which have kept women on
the acting side of motion picture pro-
duction pretty thoroughly all these
years is a triumph. And only Lucille
Webster Gleason could do it.
Today a suite of offices is being made
ready at Columbia Studios for this
clever woman, who has made mile
stone in the story of Hollywood. Her
activities will begin almost Immediately.
She brings to motion picture making a
rich and varied career, in which her
several talents have been used and
crowned with success
Actress, she played in stock as girl,
filling in all types of roles from aged
women to character parts, as the eXi-
gencies of small company demanded;
Broadway success in the play which
her husband wrote; a furore in Lon
don, where the smartest set of Great
Britain lioniZed the GleaSonS during
their long run there: co-author with
her husband in The Shannons OF
Broadway" and author of newspaper
play which every producer in the village
would give his eyes for at the present
time
Making Lucille Webster Gleason pro-
ducer isn't blind move. Added to these
things. and fer the benefit Of those who
believe career interfereS with home
life. may I say she has made the best
work of rearing a son of any woman
have contacted in lifetime. And her
home is one of the Beverly Hills estates
really worthy of the word "home"
Three women have held executive po-
sitions in the colonys history previous
to this They were directors, and only
one of them survives. Lois Weber. Dor
othy Arzner and Elizabeth Pickett have
been the only three of their sex to
break into directorial ranks.
The male element feels about women
directors much as musicians feel about
unrnan orchestra conductors Despite
