"Starhead" Budnick of the Machine Shop is in fourth place with an average of .459. H has remained stationery because of the fact that his team hasn't played.

 klatka remains among the Big Ten" although his average is les sened. He is batting .395. Barnes of the Gascos. through some excel lent work with the stick, has come ahead by leaps and bounds to land in seventh place with an average Of .393.
