Golf Did 1t, Buddy Figures.

MYER attributed his rise to taking
AA up golf last year to improve his
timing and to getting away from the
head Of the batting order. He con-
sidered the No. l spot a iink and
proved, to his own satisfaction at
least, that there was some truth in it..
He punched out 2l5 hits, including
153 singles, So doubles, II triples and
5 home runs. The five homers matched
his best previous mark for circuit
blows, made in 1882 when he hit only
.279.
There was a pronounced decrease
in the number of 800 hitters this
. year, only % Whn participated in 100
or more games enjoying that distinc-
; ton, as compared to 30 last year.
1 However, the batting strength of the
: league as a whole continued to show
: improvement, rising from .273 in 1888
and .279 in 1884 to .280 this year.
B.: For the second straight year the
= champion Tigers took the team cham
: pionship, socking at a .290 rate. The
champions also led in total bases with
1858. The Nationals wound up sec
g.. ond in club batting with an average
of 285. They made the most hits,
i, 1891, and the most triples, e5. They
: also were second at scoring, sending
= across 823 runs.
=. But in sharp contrast, the Nationals
yielded 903 runs and only the lowly
Browns gave up more, $50. Totaling
: 2, 1872 bases with their hits Harris
henchmen finished better than only
three clubs-the Red Sox, the White
6ox and the Browns.

Unusual Batting Feats.

.tMYER led the Washington batters in
1< total bases with 289 and in
doubles with 36. He also was the only
National to crash the 20O-hit class.
Stone, of course, made the most triples
sand Powell the most home runs, six
Powell, with Is thefts. also was the Ma
, ttionais' leading base-steaIer.
., A number of unusual batting feats
Were recorded during the season. Doc
tCrsmer Of the AS made six hits in
as many times at bat in the first game
of twin bill against the Tigers on
9JulY-13 to become the first American
Lacquer ever to accomplish the trick
stwlce. Many marks were tied.
Foxx and Stone equaled the record
for scoring the most runs in a game
when on May IA and June Is, re-
sepectively, each crossed the plate five
.tines. Bill Werber of the Red Sox
sstied the records for most doubles in a
tgane- with four against the Indians
hon July II. Gehrig matched the mark
s3oF facing the. pitcher the greatest
Spumber Of times without an official
xapae at-bat when he drew five success
esi7e passes on August 27. Ted Lyons,
white sox pitching vet, got a brace
OF tWo=haggers- in an inning on July
41a ! to tie a record. On July 10 the
l9ansr made 70 doubles in a game to
tie team mark.
Petey Fox of the Tigers had the
best batting streak of the year. He
hit mtely in 30 games in a row.
