Statistics, including games of Thursday, April 23, as compiled by Al Munro Elias official major league statistician, show Vosmik topping the American League with an aver age of .4Se, while Berger's mark of .455 is the best in the National League. sFs
 Betting the Ball
 Vosmik, former Cleveland sand letter, has made IT hits, including doubles, triples and home run, during his first eight games as major leaguer and leads his league not only in hitting but in number of hits and doubles.
 Berger, who broke in with the Braves last season, has secured IS hits in 33 times at bat and Is tied with Fred Lindstrom of New York, for making the most hits. George Watkins and Waffle Roettger, St Louis and Cincinnati outfielders, are the National League runners-up with marks of .429 and 400 respec- lively, while Charley Berry, Boston Red Sox catcher, is Vosmik's closest rival with an average of .4S0.
 Babe Ruth leads the American League in runs scored with II. and in runs batted in with 10. Jonathan Stone of Detroit, leads in home runs with 4 and Harry Rice of Washing ton in triples with 3, while Myer of Washington and Burnett of Cleve- land top the base stealers with 3 each.
 Mel Ott of the Giants. and Chuck Klein of the Phils, head the Nation al League scorers with 10 runs each. Klein, also is tied with Babe Herman of Brooklyn for home run hOnors with B. Earl Sheely, Boston, batted in the most runs, 10; Pie Traynor, Pirates, secured the most doubles, 4. and Ernie Orsatti, St Louis, and Dick Bartell, Philadelphia, tied for the lead in three-baggers with 2 apiece. Comorosky, Pirates; Berger, Braves; English, Cubs, and Watkins, Cards, each have two stolen bases.
 Nice Mound Work
 Herb Pennock, Yankees, and Hal McKain, White Sox, lead the Ameri- can League pitchers with victories and no defeats each while seven men, Grimes, Cards; Root, Cubs; Mitchell and Fitzsimmons, Giants; and Brandt, Zachary and Setbold, Braves, are tied for the National League lead with two victories and no defeats.
 Cleveland leads the American League in team batting with a 1882 HtaIh anu ID ltAoS' All SSe%Ahf with .959, while the Philadelphia Athletics are last in batting with .2l6 and first in fielding at .9S3. St Louis is the only club except Cleve- land which has team batting ave- rage above 1900. topping that mark by .005. -
 Position Justified
 The slump of Brooklyn, chief dis appointment of the National League race, is explained by the records which show the Robins are last both in team hitting and team fielding. The Robins ciouting mark is only .24O while s16 errors have cut the fieiding average to .952. The New York Giants, only National League club above the 300 mark in team batting. lead with 1920 while St Louis and Chicago are tied for sec ond at .293. Cincinnati leads Tn team fielding with 1882. followed by Pittsburgh, .981, New York, .9SO, and Chicago, .97S.

The Many-sided Robbie

Of all the managers in the big leagues to-day, think Uncle Robbie is the most humanly interesting. Walter Johnson is 8 splendid char acter with qualities you just have to admire. But every move that Uncle Robbie makes is a picture. Every word is story.
 Robbie can be very gruff in a kindly way, and he can be as bland as a plate of pancakes. On the ball field his sudden worries flare into i'm mpulsive outbursts that die away as quickly as the brief flame of
 match. Between these upheavals. the chief of the Robins perches pleasantly on the bench, uncoricern- edly rattling off baseball general ities in an amazingly candid way.
 He remains as a relic of other baseball days, rowdy days. It Is not hard to imagine him behind the bat for the old Orioles of blessed memory, begging down to third where slim young John McGraw waited to slap the ball on a rash runner. He has kept the fine old fighting spirit of baseball about him.
 hope he will always be man. ager of the Brooklyn ball team.

How Robbie Does It

Under the mask of a guileless personality, your Uncle Wilbers Robinson has picked up some pret- ty good ball players for his Brook. lyn ball team. It is not hard to rec member how he gave Cincinnati Pitcher Douglas McWeeney for az aged and indigent senor name6 Adolfo Luque. and how Adolfo kept the Robins right up there during most of last summer.
 It is just as easy to recall how he took Glenn Wright from the Pirates in exchange for Jess Petty and Harry Riconda, and how Glenn, with his shoulder patched up. be- came one of the two greatest short stops in the National League-thc other being Travis Jackson.

Crim,s Little Deal

Still another smart trader is Clark Griffith. When he got Man ush and Crowder from the Browns in exchange for Goslin he positive ly made Philip DeCatesby Ball look like a great big philanthropist. Not only that but he put the Senators into this years pennant race, and that doesn't mean maybe, either.
 A number of McGraw's trades have made the manager of the Giants look bad, because many of the men he sent hither and yon have turned out to be stars. That doesn't worry McGraw, however. When a ball player, either by dis. position or playing habits. fails to fis into the McGraw pattern. John simply sends him on his way, talk. ing loss, often, but holding to his course,

 If we didn't know that Burt Shot, ton was a smart bargainer, that trade whereby the Phils gave Thompson and O'Doul to the Robins for Elliott, Dudley and Lee might make MT Shotton look a bit like a sap. But we do know that Burt Shotton is a canny man, and will just have to ask you to wait and see how Elliott and Dudley pitch for the Phils in league games before reaching any conclusion.
 Another wise trader is Judge Fuchs of the Braves. One of the baseball managers in the south said that you have to hold on to your watch when talking business with the Braves owner.

The infantile paralysis germ never

WASHINGTON. Aug. II. P-An
artificially produced epidemic Of
infantile paralysis among a troop
OF monkeys at the national insti-
tute OF health may lead to curing
the disease in humans.
If a method can be found to cure
or prevent the disease in monkeys,
scientists Of the institute explain.
the chances are excellent for cur
ing or preventing it in human be-
ingS and for ending outbreaks such
as the one existing in New York
City. The institute Is part Of the
United States nublic health service.
Monkeys are used in the insti-
tute's experimental epidemic be-
cause they react to an infantile
paralysis infection nearly the same
as humans. Experimental vaccines
are given to healthy monkeys to
see If they will prevent the animals
from contracting the disease.
Monkeys that have the paralysis
are treated with new serums which
