was his 40th, the 18th season the
Babe has hit that many. Only two
other players have hit 40 or more In
two seasons.
Paul Waner OF the Pittsburgh Pi-
rates, hit four doubles to bring his
total up to S., four short OF Chuck
Klein's National League record.
The rest of the batting and slug
ging argument went along as usual
except that Dale Alexander Of Boston
stepped into second place in the
American League to give Foxx an ar
gument for the first time in many
weeks. Foxx raised his average a
point to 1865 while Alexander's mark
through Friday was 1850. Frank
