N YEW YORK, August 25.-Judg-
M ing by the current batting
averages, most of the leading
hitters of the big leagues
must have been standing around
watching the pitchers breeze them
past during the past week. Only
about a half dozen of the 10 leaders
in each circuit show averages better
than those of the week before.
Paul Waner, running second to
Bill Terry, showed the outstanding
gain in the National League when
he improved his mark by four points.
Others made bigger gains, but
Waner's feat put him only three
points behind the league leader after
yesterdays games. In the American

gain to take third place from Lou

Manush and Charley Gehringer,
both of whom suffered considerable
losses.
Waner and Terry each made nine
hits as they battled through the week,
but the New Yorker had 81 times at
bat and dropped two points to 1863.
Waner's 20 trips to the plate for nine
blows lifted his mark to 1865.
Manush hit only once in IA at
tempts and his average dropped nine
points to 1866, the lowest he has
touched this season. Gehringer, with
seven hits in % attempts, took a
seven-point. drop to 1854.

Ouimet started his golf at Brook

This course is the foundation of his
golf career. In 1913 I recall watch
ing a slender kid stepping up to the

He had the swing of a real golfer.

champion, terrific battle.
A few months later he was Open

then just II years old. Jerry Travers
was the amateur king. Chick Evans
had still to win his first national title
Walter Travis was playing fine golf
Walter Hagen was a kid at Brookline

never had even caddied. He was nine
years shy of his first title. Most of
those who will be playing at Brook
line September 10 were just learning
to walk Some of them were nor
born. Babe Ruth was not a big
Lacquer and Tilden was an unknown,
seven years away from his first title.
Lefty Gomez and Schoolboy Rowe

there were half dozen doubles among

The Nationals were no mild stickers,
for they amaSsed Is hits off Eden
Auker. Only two of the hits were of
the extra-base variety, though. and
outside of the second and ninth rounds
much of the hitting was wasted.
1t was in the second inning that the
Tigers began their victory march
Then Stewart was slammed for a sin
gle by Goslin and doubles by Auker
and White that meant two runs. The
Nationals came right back to get three
tallies, one-basers by Cronin, Schultz
Susko, Stewart and Myer accounting
for the scores.
Rogell's two-bagger and Goslin's sin

One of the needed qualifications in
these 18-hole marches is high-class
putting. The Bostonian is among the
best in this important department-to
be classed with George Dunlap, Law
son Little and Johnny Goodman, all
deadly around the green carpet.
Erratic putters last only a short

Ouimet is more of an elbow putter-
