CHUCK KLEIN WINS
 SLUCCINC HONORS
 OF NATIONAL LOOP
Fourth in Bathing List But Best of Extra Base Hitters Is Philly Star

New York, Dec 2s.--(UP)- Chuck Klein, brilliant young Phila- delphia outfielder, Is the new Na- tional league slugging champion with an official average of .684.
 Klein's championship cllmaxes a steady advance. In 1928, playing in 64 games he earned fifth place with q percentage of .577. He in. creased his mark to .657 in 1929 and finished second to Rogers Hornsby of the Cubs. An addi- tlonal 30 point improvement made him runher-up to Hack Wilson in 1890 and this year. although the leagues new "dead" ball cut his mark to .584, he finished in first place, ten points ahead of Rogers Hornsby.
 Chick Hafey of St Louis, Bill Terry of New York and Jim Bot tomley of St Louis headed Klein to the wire in the chase for the league batting championship but none of the trio were able to ap- proach the Philadelphian's slug ging mark. Hafey, the batting champion, took third slugging honors with an average of 1889 while Bottomley was seventh at .b34 and Terry eighth with .b29.
 Sam Leslie and Mel Ott of the New York Giants were fourth and fifth respectively and Buzz Arlett, recently released by Philadelphia to Baltimore, finished sixth with q mark of .53s.
 The slugging averages reflected the influence of the deadened ball with only four players driving in 100 runs or more as against IT In was the lowest winning total of re. cent years, ten players having ex- ceeded his average In 1880.
 Look 'Em Over

 Siuggling champion-1931 lead- CT: Klein, Phillies, .584; 1880 lead- CT: Wilson, Cub, .723.

Additional Sport
To-Day's Sport
 P a F a d e
BY SIDNEY B. WHTPPTE

BY SIDNEY B. WHIPPLE Pinch-liitttng for Henry McLemorc New York, Dec 2s.--(UP)-Thc longer I remain in the atmosphere of sporting life into which I was thrust as second assistant substi- tute for Colonel Henry McLemore, the more amazed I became at the stupendous requirements that fall to the lot of sporting editors. Time was, in more simple days, when a sports reporter needed only to know how to score Q baseball game and how to tell whether a touchdown was made in order to qualify as an expert. To-day 1t Is all changed.
 If you had asked the average sports writer, 20 years ago, what Q chukker was, he probably would have said 1t was some sort of Inc dian relish, confusing 1t with chutney.
 Now, in addition to the bridge hands that dazzle you every day on some sport pages (yes, there are still some people who figure 1t as sport) you may find even chess, checkers, and fancy skating.
 Yachting qualities as Q sport and 50, for fact, does for hunting, although the latter, with its chat ter about "covers" and "brushes' and similar terms, and all it's pune. tilious insistence upon form, has only in the rarest instances been separated from the society pages where 1t distinctly belongs.
 So pity the poor young cub breaking into the sports depart ment. He goes to his first fancy skating contest. He finds thrust into his hand sort of program, or score card (gitty sco' cahd! Can't tella play widout 6 sco' cahd!) The program reads:
 Woincn's Singles
 Three change three-Rob-lib
 Rocker-%Rob-lo
 Change bracket---Riob-liob
 Counter-Rif-lib
 Loop change loop-Rof-lif
 Doubles three-Rob
 If that isn't enough to puzzle the boy, the so-called legend" that Is presumed to explain 1t all adds the following information. "R-right. L. left. O-outside. B-backward. lin side. F-forward.
 Well, I'm not going to explain it., first because it's of no importance and second because after my lucid explanation the thing would be more of Q mystery than ever.
 Tn yachting there are such things as waterlines, weight, can- vas spread and other measure nents to be considered, and man must know where the wind Is blowing and whether the boats are on Q run, e beat, or 0 reach.
 Chess has its symbols, such as PK4, which Is as far as l ever get. Checkers, lately becoming fashion, able in Manhattan, are numbered. to wit, viz and l. E., 11-15. 9-11 and so forth, although, writing from memory, I'm not sure those figures are correct.
 Statistics, statistics. statistics! Some day the sporting editor will have to use comptometers, To. garithm tables and compa1es to get out his page.
