FOXx OUTSTEPS
TRAVIS, AVER|LL
IN hit PARADE"
Jimmy Steals Thunder
From Batting War

ST. LOUIS. Aug. 2.-When the
Mats landed in Cleveland a few
days ago, it was hailed as an i'm
pending struggle for the batting
supremacy of the American
League between Washington's
Cecil Travis and Cleveland's Earl
Averill, no less.
And it was quite struggle
while it lasted.
Yesterday this titanic hand-to-
hand tussle of the super swatters
subsidized, they called it a draw.
Some called it no contest. Others
said they should hustle both par
ticipants before the commission
to show cause why both party's
purses should not be held.
A DARK HORSE
Moreover, while Travis and
Averill we're swinging against each
other, an interloper, dark horse
whose very name is spelled with
a double cross, sneaked into front
row and stole the show, said third
party being James Emory Foxx,
of Sudlersville, Md. However,
Averill's Cleveland admirers insist
their man should get the decision
over Travis on the somewhat spu-
rious grounds that their man
struck the harder blows. In fact,
they may have legitimate bleat
coming over that. Both scored
only one safe sock in II swings
at the plate.
Travis connected with his biff
in the first game of the series,
a poWder-puff double to left cen
ter. Averill scored his punch in
the second game, a line drive
single to center. OF the two swats,
Averill'S was the hardest.
In any event, it cannot be said
Travis was the victim of a home
town decision. To the contrary,
in awarding Travis his two-base
biff, the Cleveland referee who
in this case is known as an Off
cial scorer, came up with a COM
mendable dab Of sportsmanship.
A GIFT
Here was Earl Averill, the home
town hero, slugging it out for the
lead in biting race. Here was
Travis, an invader, who would
knock the crown from the home
town terror's dome.
The Travis double, a Sickly-
looking specimen if ever there was
one, may easily have been called
an error, for it was pop fly which
dropped sadly from Lynwood
Lary's paws. Regardless. in Cleve.
land where they say they take
managers apart and ship them
away upon the slightest provoca-
ton, where opposing teams are
said to get none the best of it,
Travis was given a safe blow. It
was a gift. The official scorer,
who is Cleveland baseball writer,
stuck up two fingers unhesitat-
ingly, thereby denoting a two-base
whack.
Anyhow, with Travis and Aver
i'll getting one hit in II times at
bat, James Emory Foxx sneaked
into the lead, for Travis and Aver
i'll skidded down to BAT and 1856,
respectively, while Foxx upped his
figures to $3.50.

series as the defending Giants try
to do something about a situation
which is rapidly getting out Of

pletely out Of the park as things
stand now.
The Giants remain five games
out Of first place and only 2h
ahead Of the Cubs after an open
date in the circuit yesterday, and
have slipped so badly in recent
weeks that revised betting odds of

In the race toward a third straight
pennant, the Giants lined up to-
day with second baseman new
to a local uniform but slightly
used elsewhere in the person of
Chalmer Bill" Cissell, obtained
yesterday from Baltimore.
WOBBLY DEFENSE
If he doesn't do something about
the wobbly Giant defense, then the
situation is hopeless, and the
Pirates-or perhaps the Cubs
can go ahead and make their
World Series plans, secure in the
knowledge finally that New York
hasn't got a monopoly on the So
called fall classic.
However, that he will help is
more hope than belief. He has
had several major league tryoutS
and by this time is rated as only q
fair sort of workman without too
much punch at the plate.
Thus the National League race
continues as brisk as it has been
through all the years.
The American League, too, Is
going along at what some choose
to call ding-dong pace, with the
Yankees now 212 games ahead Of
the Cleveland Indians. The lat
ter took occasion yesterday to
drop themselves by a half-game
margin in the standings in alb
sorbing 11-to-8 beating from the
Washington Senators while the
local leaders were idle.
PARADE OF PITCHERS
