7 IEINIE MANUSH, leading
Fl batter of the Washington

Cronin, another of the five
Washington batters in the 300

for their organization in the bust
ness of driving runs across during

American League statistics out

sponsible for showing across l16

of nearly 80 per cent of the Nationals

The Washington pair tied for fifth
place among the IA American League
swatSmiths driving over 100 or more
markers. Jimmy Fox of the Athletics
topped the list with 1863. Deadlocked
In second place were Lou Gehris of
the Yankees and Al Simmons of the
AS, each with Isl. Earl Averill of the
Indians was fourth with l24.
MANUSH shared with Ossie Bluege
1Vl the honor of participating in
most games for the Nationals III
the season, 149, and Heinie succeeded
in being pinked by pitched balls more
times than any other member of his
club. He took five heaveS on his anat-
Omy. Ossie led his club at working op-
posing pitchers for passes, getting 81
bases on balls.
