- ETTING away from the Ma
tionals' rockies for the mo-
ment, has anybody been
noticing John Kelly Don't
Call Me Bright Eyes, Lewis lately?
AS the Griffs falteringly go down the
stretch of a season packed with dis
appointment and Illustration, 21-year-
old Buddy promises to graduate as a
sophomore major Lacquer with new
laurels. Take a gander at that total
of hits, frinstance
In the process OF leading a futile
11-hit Washington attack on two
Tiger pitchers yesterday, Lewis ran
his base blows to 1873 for the season
and lest this figure be passed over let
1t first be compared with others. Joe
Di Maggie has less than 10 more hits
for the year so far. Charlie Gehringer
Is not far ahead. Only three others,
Gerald Walker of the Detroit, Beau
Bell of st. Louis and Hank Greenberg,
also OF the Tigers, head Lewis is
making base hits
Nobody on the Washington club is
close. Johnny Stone and Cecil Travis,
closest rivals of Buddy, are more than
20 hits behind him. j. K. of Gastonia
Is gilt-edge cinch to lead the Mats in
hits if he can play half of the remain
ing games.
Krakky Loses to Tigers, 11-6.
EWIS wound up the 1886 season
with exactly ITS hits and a .292
average. This was for 146 games. To
date he has been in 1874, or all the club
itself has played.
With 20 games to go Lewis seems
TO be good bet to finish among the
8 to IL American Leaguers, who will
have made 200 or more hits. He needs
to make only II in the remaining
games and if he gets them he is fairly
certain to move into the 800 batting
class, too. Today his stick mark was
. around .313 and there have been no
signs lately of Buddy sinking lower.
Not even Lewis double and two
singles yesterday, however, could bring
the Mats a victory. The Tigers, in
winning an 11-to-6 decision, drove
Rookie Joe Krakauskas to cover and
enthusiastically continued their bar
rage of base hits against Pete Apple
ton and Eddie Linke.
Jake Wade, who started for the Tigers,
was driven out in less than two innings
but George Gin did an adequate relief
Job and was credited with the victory
~ the Tigers overcame a 4-to-2
dedcit.
