Manush's nearest rival in this
batting race is Charley Gehringer,
crack second baseman Of the De-
troit Tigers.
Keeps Going
Gehringer has been on Heine'S
heels all season, but 1t is not ex.
pected the infielder will overhaul
the Griffs' star, as Heine has
given little indication Of letting
up one instant in his great pace
to lead the pack or else know
the reason why.
One other rival of Manush's is
Lou Gehrig, Of the New York
Yankees. This pudgy first sacker
has been coming along at a great
clip during the last month, and
many believe he'll press Manush
more than will Gehringer before
the campaign ends.
But time, will tell. In the mean.
while, Manush has certain feeling
he'll be able to keep the rapid pace
he's set for himself. The big out
fielder has plenty Of faith in his
ability, in fact, sees no reason why
he won't be the leagues leader, if
only he can keep in shape physi.

The Washington times., 1934-07-13

For without faith where would
the grand old game go, they
ask, particularly in the cases
Of their respective teams, which
in every instance has some goal
to reach?
With the Griffmen two items
have kept the performers think
ing Of a certain faith" all
season. The first, that the pen
nant might be won despite the
teams second division standing
in the race, and second, that
Heine Manush, popular team
mate, will win the batting cham.
pionship of the American League.
The second of these faiths"
appears to have the greatest
chances of panning out. For in
all due respect to the team,
as a whole, it does not look
now as if Manager Joe Cronin
can get his men winning con-
sistently enough to cop the pen
nant even though the mathe-
matical chance is still there that
such an event might materialize.
Chances Bright
In regard to Manush, his
chances of leading the batters
by the termination of the season
appear unusually bright. For the
veteran is in excellent physical
condition, and besides this point,
is carrying on at bat like he's
seldom been known before.
Actually Heine is whacking at
the impressive average Of .403.
This average is not as high as it
has been in the recent past, but
it's plenty powerful enough to
stamp him as truly one Of the
best hitters the American League
has boasted of in moons.
Getting this average, Heine has
stepped to the plate 325 times this
season and has socked out 131
hits. The big hope now among
teammates, is that he'll
collect over 200 hits before the
season ends, $50, if such an event
is humanity possible.
