Manush Loses Two Points
While inactive.

n IEW YORK. August 4.-Lou
M Gehrig Of the Yankees,
" whose mighty swatting
feats have aroused fan
dom to a new peak of interest
in the last couple OF days, was
the leading figure in the past
week, when a lot of interesting
developments took place in the
struggle for American League
batting honors and very few In
the National League race.
The pace setter. Heinie Manush of
Washington, remained on the bench
most OF the time and his loss was only
two points as he hit four times in II
attempts. That gave him .3e5
average when the figures we're
rounded up after yesterdays games.
Gehrig. meanwhile. collected l6 safe
blows. including six home runs, In 30
trips to the plate He sent his average
up l3 points to .37S and moved from
NTH place TO second among the league
leaders.
Paul Waner, National League lead
er. equaled par for the week in the
elder loop when he hit II times in 20
trips TO the plate. That sent his
average up points TO .361 and gave
him APPOINT margin over Bill Terry
of New York. who dropped l point.
Records Of the 10 leading hitters
in each major league follow:

plus Lawson Little, British champion,
will be relieved of the medal play

In these qualifying battles, played
in every section Of the country, more
than so per cent must slip by the
bunkered wayside. Two out of every
three starters never will get to Brook

And, when they arrive, they i'm
mediately will step into heavy gun

Within the first two days only S6
of the 180 still will be out there shoot

80 per cent before most of the fallen
know where the bludgeon came from.
Every man in this field will have
the fight of his life to keep going, as
there now are hundreds of young golf
ers capable of turning in So, or a II

N one of the finest players to

is known as one of the most popular
men on any club. Always in condition,

Stanley Raymond Harris, manager
of the Boston Red Sox and for five
years manager of the Tigers, said
recently:
II had an excellent opportunity to
study Gehringer closely for five years
and he is my choice Of all second
basemen. I'll pick him over any ball
player you could name. He is the
ideal player. He has everything but
aggressiveness, but he Is so over
whelningly good in every other way
that you cannot very well hold that
against him.
"Gehringer is one player manager
need never worry about. You know
precisely that he will do the right
thing at all times. He is as sound as

The Russian government handles
the horse racing industry all by it
self. The horses are government
horses, though this does not commit
them in any way to the governments
political faith. The pari-mutuels are
run by the government. When a citi-
zen buys ticket he is buying it from
the boys in the Kremlin, and, when
he cashes bet (Which happens as
often in Russia as anywhere else) he
is dipping his hand into the Russian
treasury.
There is much to recommend this
centralized system Of running the
ponies. 1t does away with the inter-
stable double-croSs, all stables being
under the same management. The
bettor can be sure, when he sees one
driver hold back his horse or inter-
fere with another driver, that the
drivers are not double-croSsing each
other. No one can be double-crossed
in Russia except the bettor himself,
and this is a feature which applies to
racing everywhere.

Charley has been the hub around
which the Tigers began their climb
this year. Early in the season. with
teammates in bad hitting slumps,
Gehringer was hitting the ball at a

race for league honors.
A beautiful fielder possessed Of a
pair of the surest hands in base ball,
Gehringer does everything on the field
with superb grace and without waste
Of motion. making the hard ones look

power to get distance in his clouts,
and he is one of the games finest base

the Russians won't admit they are
