 Batting Average Of .72S

New York. Dec. g (Tj-As nearly Hack Wilson of the Chicago Cubs was the leading slugger of the Ma tional league last season. The re- lease today of the official percent ages and other miscellaneous rec ords of the National league prove that fact.
 Wilson, going 10 bat 5S5 official times during the season, hit for 423 bases and compiled a slugging average of .723. His nearest rivals were Chuck Klein of Philadelphia and Babe Herman of Brooklyn. who had slugigng marks of .6S7 and .67S respectively. Wilson also batted in 90 runs to eclipse the former league record of 159 he set the year be- fore. He drew 105 bases on balls and struck out S4 times to top the lcague in both respects.
 Another league record fell when r players batted in 100 or more runs. The old mark was G. Wilson accomplished the feat for the fifth successive year. Sunny Jim Bottom ley of St. Louis, after doing it for six years straight, fell three short of the 100 mark.
 In the club marks, Chicago made the best slugging percentage. .4Sl and had the most bases on balls. 5S8, and the most strikeouts, 635. St. Louis battcd in 942 runs to establish another new league record. The former Of 933 was made by the Cubs the year before.
 The New York Giants proved themselves the best road club in the league by winning f games and losing 36 away from home but three teams made better records when performing on their home fields. The St. Louis Cardinals led in this respect by winning 5 contests and losing only 4 at Sportsmcns Park. Brooklyn participated in the greatest number of shutout games during the year, 22, and won l 3 of them to top that list as well. Cincinnati was held SCoreless ten times.

League Standing

With a battle between the Corbin Screw quintet and the P. < F. Cor bin team leading as the big feature of the night, three good games are scheduled to be played at the Tabs
 hall tomorrow night in the Indus- trial Basketball League. The Corbin Screw -Corbin contest, the second on the nights program. will be a fam fly party between two of the most
 bitter rivals in the circuit.
 Both teams have been champions
 of the league. P. & F. Corbin was
 at the top several years ago while
 the Corbin Screw five has been
 holding the limelight in recent years.
 However, this hardly enters into the
 minds of the players on the two
 teams because the rivalry is so in- tense that it means battle Wneh- ever the two teams meet no matter where they are placed in the stand ing.
 The Corbin Screw team at the present time IS Tn second pldCS "lth five wins and one loss, The team was defeated by the Gascos in one of the most exciting contests Of the
 wear. The Corbin team IS gwen an excellent chance of pinning second defeat on the team and for this reason, there is plenty of interest in the game.
 The opening contest on the pro- gram will bring together the Corbln Cabinet and Landors teams. rms will be another battle for last placa as both teams are running neck ana neck in the cellar.
 The Gascos face another touGh customer in the last game Of the night tomorrow when they face the Newmatics. The Machine shop
 crew, especially after the battle 1t put up against the Corbin Screw last Tuesday night. is considered dangerous and q pretty contest is being anticipated.
 The first game Of the night Will be started at 7:3O o'clock.
