SIMMONS FIGURED
THROUGH AS GR|FF
Declares Fine for Cussinq
Fans Was Inspired by
Bonus Due Him.
BY BURTON HAWKINS,

Minus 5000 and his temper, grayfng
AL Simmons today was ticketed a.
through with the Washington base
ball club as the result of q series
of minor incidents climaxed yesterday
by dramatic verbal feud with three
spectators which led to a heavy fine
by Prexy Clark Griffith.
The Nat outfielder, on the slippery
side of brilliant and hectic career
in which he established himself az
one of baseballs greatest right-hand
hitters of all time, has conducted
simmering tiff with Griffith through-
out the season and now the patience
OF both apparently is exhausted.
The fiery Simmons, who has branded
the Washington club as cheap" be-
cause it does not pay the fines Of
players who incur the wrath of um.
pires, hopes for his unconditional
release. That granted, he Is confident
of selling his services to another
American League club.
Al Will Collect Bonus.
Infuriated earlier in the season when
Griffith allegedly accused him Of in
difference at bat except with runners
on base, due to a clause in his con-
tract providing for a bonus on runs
batted in, Simmons conducted
shifting fued with Griffith from afar
throughout the year and said today
he doubted if he'll ever talk contract
with Griffith again.
Al, who said he was heckled
throughout the first game Of the
double-header yesterday with Phila-
delphia, exploded when the remarks
continued when he was inserted as .
pinch-hitter in the second game. He
had been assured of 800 batting
average and consequent $1,000 bonus
by whacking two hits in the first
game.
Pausing to glover at three spectat-
tors while at bat, Simmons walked,
stood on first base, pointed at fans
he felt were heckling him. doubled
his fist and indicated he would relish
meeting them under the stands.
Flght invitation REFUSED.
After the side mad been retired,
Simmons beloved another challenge,
gave his opinion of the fans ancestry,
and dispatched a clubhouse boy to
the box in an effort to entice the
fans outside. The three young men
accused by Simmons refused the
invitation, however, stating it was
case of mistaken identity.
Griffith, branding Simmons actions
disgraceful, announced Simmons would
be fined 5000 and his conduct reported
to Will Harridge, American League
president, and Judge Kenesaw Moun-
tain Lands, commissioner of baseball
Simmons, preparing to leave for his
Milwaukee home, accused Griffith of
mereenary action. "Grifith apparently
was mad when made my 300 average
safe in the first game and Bucky
Harris kept me out of the second, so
when the incident with the fans came
up he fined me $780,
Joe Krakauskas limited the Athletics
to six hits to trim them in the opener.
So, but Philadelphia bounced back
in the second game to whip Ken
Chase, Az, before shivering crowd
of 1000.

VETS DOMINATE
BASEBALL PEAKS
Foxx Earns Two Honors at
Bat-Lombardi, 'Upstart,'
Gets National Crown.
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, Oct 3.-A few up
starts" broke into the list of major
league champions for the season just
ended. but for the most part the peren-
nial big guns took the lions share of
the honors.
Fellows like Jimmy Foxx, Boston's
betting f1rst-sacker, and Hank Green
berg of the Tigers, in the American
League, and those two clouters who
tangle year after year for National
League slugging honors, the Giants
Mel OFT and the Cardinals Ducky
Medwick, were back again heading the
lists in various departments.
Chief among the upstairs" how
ever, was Ernie (Schnozzola) Lom-
bardi, Cincinnati catcher, who won the
National League batting championship
with an unofficial .342 average, S
points better than Johnny Mize of the
Cards. Foxx won the title in the
American League, posting a mark of
.349 to outdistance jeff Heath of
Cleveland by 5 points.
Double Honor for Foxx.
Boston's "double-x," who also led
both leagues in driving in runs with
the near-record total of 174, thus holds
the battling title for the second time.
He won it back in 1888 as a member
of the Athletics. Lombardi is the first
catcher to take the crown in the Ma
tional League since Bubbles Hargrave,
predecessor at Cincinnati, came
through in 1926.
Greenberg captured pair of cham
pionships in the American League,
setting the pace in run-scoring and in
the home-run derby, hitting SO in the
latter division.
Over in the National League. OFT
and Medwick split four crowns. Mas
ter Melvin Scored the most runs and
led in homers. Medwick nosed out
OFT for the runs batted-in title and
hit the most doubles. Stan Hack, tte
Cubs classy third sacker, gave them a
battle for individual laurels however.
He led in base-stealing and wound up
second in run-scoring and base-hits.
Unofficial Leaders.
Here are the unofficial 1888 cham
pions and runners-up (the titles do
not become official, of course, until
