DETROIT STAR
 PASSED GEHRIC
 INLEAGUE RACE
FOxx and TrOsky Among Four Best K. B. I.
 Performers

New York, Dec. 18.-CUP)-Hank Greenberg, Detroit first baseman, replaced Lou Gehrig, New York Yankees, as the best run-maker in the American league last year, ac- cording to averages released today.
 Greenberg, whose 139 in 1934 placed him third, forged to the front with ITO runs batted in, a, total exceeded only three times since the league began to tabulate. such figures in 1920.
 The four leading run-makers of 1894 all were on top again in 1895 but in different order.
 Gehrig was second with 119. Jimmy Foxx, of the Philadelphia Athletics, who was sold to Boston last week, was third with 115 and Hal Trosky, Cleveland, fourth with 113. Last year Trosky was second followed by Greenberg and Foxx.
 An odd feature of the record is that all four leaders are first base men.
 Simmons Slipped
 Eleven American league batterS drove in 100 or more runs last sea-i son, three fewer than in 1884. Con- spicuouS by its absence from the list is the name of Al Simmons, Chicago White Sox outfielder who recently was sold to the Detroit Tigers. He batted in only 79 runs, ending a streak of batting in over 100 runs for Il consecutive years.
 Three players drew 100 or more bases on balls. Gehrig led with 132, followed by Luke Appling, Chicago, 122, and Foxx, IA.
 Foxx famed 99 times to lead in most strike-outs. Louis Berger, Cleveland, was runner-up with 97. Cecil Travis, Washington, was hit by pitched ball nine times, more than any other player.
 The following players batted in 100 runs or more: Greenberg, De- troit, ITO; Gehrig, New York, 119; Foxx, Philadelphia, 115; Trosky, Cleveland, 1l3; Solters, Boston-St. Louis, 112; Vosmik, Cleveland, 110; Johnson, Philadelphia, 109; Goslin, Detroit, 109; Gehringers, Detroit, 108; Hale, Cleveland, 1o1; Myer, Washington, 100.

HORTON SMITH WINNER OF BIG
 GOLFING PRIZE
Joplin Pro Took $2,5OO With Six Stroke Edge
 Over Sarazen Mark

Coral Gables, Fla, December Il = (UP) - Horton Smith, lanky Chicago blond, who came out ot temporary golfing retirement thi' year, today boasted the sports'' richest prize - victory in the $10,- 900 Miami Biltmore open tourna- ment.
 Along with a $2,500 check for first place, Smith also had new record for the tournament, rnewed this year for the sixth time.
 Trailing by two strokes when yesterdays final 18 holes began Smith played "safe" golf, and posted a par 70 which gave him an aggre- gate of 281, six strokes better thar the record of 287 set in 1881 by Gene Sarazen.
 Five years ago Smith, then 22- year-old youth fresh from Joplin Mo-, became the years sensation. 4 few years ago he went into virtua retirement as professional at thu Oakmont Country Club Chicago.
 Grand Comeback
 Finally, the urge to compete in tht money ranks got him and the tall Smooth-stroking blonde hit tht southern trail but failed to win re- cent starts in the Orlando and Sara Sota tournaments.
 When he entered the Biltmor, tournament Smith announced h. was back ito storm over the courSe where money was up." And nov that he has made good in one event Smith plans to keep shooting fo golf's high stakes.
 Smiths victory with a round onl. one stroke below par was made pos sible by the failure of Ted Turner Pine Valley, N. J., professional, t. maintain the blistering pace he SC on the third round. Leading tn field by two strokes, turner, wh' created a new course record Mon day with a 66, faltered badly an' took a 75 which sent him into a ti for second place with Ky Laffoor Chicago, who shot a 69 yesterday Laffoon and Turner split $2,25 second and third money.
 Also Finished
 Willie MacFarlane, Tuckahoe N. Y., who won the tournament il 1883, was next with a 72 whic. gave him a total of 285. Henr Picard, Hershey, Pa, and Fran Walsh, Chicago, were next at 28'
 Johnny Revolta, P.G.A. champio and pre-tournament favorite, stoo alone at 287. Seven players we1 punched at 289.
 Many of the name" players fir ished far down the list. Saraze had 292. Sam Parks, U. s. ope champion, had 297 and Tomm Armour, P. GG. A. finalist this yea, had 300.

The Welfarers appear to have taken a new lease on life Byrnes from the Meter Dept. Joey "Snuggie" May is one of the main props in keeping the team in the threatening division. He has been a regular Band Wagoner for the past for weeks.
 It is well for Charlie Gerillo of the Meter As that he staged a come back last week, for previous to the games we were approachd by committee composed of Joe Co., lueci, Fred Valerie, John Devito and Frank Cichetti. The boys sug- gested that I run Q Mourners Wagon, as 8 sort of aStonym to the Band Wagon. They further suggested that we have Charlie in the front seat. He fooled the dads hy making the Band Wagon.

A stay of execution of at least one week was granted the Meter B by the Production steam. Maybe 1t was the prevailing holiday spirit that softened Brad Ripley and his lads for they certainly portrayed the part of Santa Claus in present. inf the Jayvees with 4 points which increased the B's grip on first place by one point. The leaders take on 8 tough assignment this week for their opponents, the Operators, are really many pins better than their average indicates. During the first four weeks the Operators were (we will be polite) in a slump and dropped their batting average IS pins, while during this same first quarter the Jayvees increased their average 22 pins. The Bis are going to find 1t rather difficult this week, giving the one pin per game spot.
 Capt. Ray Beardslee of the Oper. ators, held a council of war huddle with the members of the team i'm. mediately following the Operating Sales match. The main conversat- ional point of the discussion was the rather indifferent bowling atti- tude assumed by their anchorman, Ed. Ely, during last weeks match. Most of the boys were in favor of shipping the cagey one to the min ors. Pat Dwyer intervened for Ed. and suggested that he be placed on probation. The repentant Ed prom ised to regain the good graces of his team mates by personally at- tending to the downfall of the Meter B team this week.
