TROSKY, OWEN TOP
MAJOR BATSMEN
Steinbacher, Chisox Rook,
Biggest Surprise-Myer,

BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. April 30.-The first
weekly roundup of batting statistics
Of the current major league season
found Hal Trosky of Cleveland's
clouting Indians and Mickey Owen, the
st, Louis Cardinals peppery catcher,
setting the pace today In their re-
spective leagues.
Trosky, showing 18 hits in 35 times
at bat, boasted an average Of 514 in
10 games to take the No. l spot in
the big leagues on basis of 20 times
or more at bat. There were several
others in both leagues over that mark,
but they had fewer than the mini
mum 20 at-bats.
Owen, one of the few pleasant sur
prises Onkel frankie Frisch has had
so far in the Gas House Gang. had
IA hits in 80 trips to the plate for
.438 mark in the National League.
He was % points higher than his
nearest rival; the rejuvenated Hank
Leiber of Terrible Bill Terry's Giants.
Trosky held a runaway margin Of
Al points in the American League,
but the surprise of the early season
slugging was Henry Steinbacher, the
Chicago White Sox fly-chasing young

HURT WING KEEPS
DEAN IN SPOTLIGHT.
Diz Hopes to Be Ready in a
Few Days, Though-Tribe
Still on Warpath.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, Jr,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

That Dean fellow is in the news
again. Apparently you can't keep
him out.
When he wasn't pitching this week,
Jerome Herman Dizzy Dean was
warning verbally with his old st.
Louis teammate, Ducky Medwick
When he did start to pitch yesterday
he did some sort of damage to that
expensive pitching arm. And when
you hurt $250,00O worth of baseball
material and some very good pen
nant prospects, no matter how slight
ly, that's big news.
Dizzy maintained it was nothing
serious and he probably could have
remained in three while the Chicago
Cubs went on to bat out a 6-to-4
decision over Cincinnati's Reds. He
expects to take his next regular turn
on the mound. Nevertheless he did
pull muscle in his salary wing while
pitching to Lew Riggs in the fourth
and Manager Charley Grimm hauled
him right out of the game. There
were plenty of long faces around Chi
cago when the news got around.
Without Dean, the Cubs relied upon
long-range hitting to win as relief
finger Jack Russell weakened in the
ninth and gave up couple of runs.
They made hits good for 19 bases as
Gabby Hartnett, Tony Lazzeri and
Augie Galan poled out homers and
Galan added single.
Feller and Keltner combined to
keep the Indians on top Of the Amer
ican League.

Extension of Government super
vision over trading of billions of dol
lars worth of securities handled out
side regular exchanges won approval
Of the Senate yesterday.
The chamber approved unanimously
and sent to the House bill by Sem
ator Maloney, Democrat, of Connecti-
cut, which would subject "over-the-
counter" tracing in securities to reg
ulation of associations of brokers, deal
ers and bankers.
Function Of Government.
The Federal Government, acting
through the Securities and Exchange
Commission, would retain the right to
review and supervise the regulations
set up by the self-governing associa-
tions.
Senator Maloney told the Senate the
measure was an attempt to extend
to the 6,766 firms of brokers and
dealers now registered with the
s. E. G. the same cooperative regu-
lation" by Government and securi-
ties exchanges now exercised over ex-
change trading
He said no dealer or broker would
be forced to join associations which
the S. E. c. would recognize as regu-
latory bodies.
Regulation Declared Ripe.
Advocates of the legislation said
testimony before the Senate commit
tee indicated the "over- -the-counter"
field was ripe for regulation. Sample
S. E. c. investigations in Cleveland,
Detroit and the Pacific Northwest re-
suited in several scores of individuals
and corporations being indicted, con-
victed or enjoined for alleged viola
tions of the Securities and Exchange
Act.
Transactions in securities of Fed
eral, State and other governmental
units are exempt from the Maloney
