zwis|e's .A3 Is Tops,
With Browning and
Davis Close Up
Team, Though, Is Fourth
As St. EIizobeth's
Tukes First Half

Bearing < ugh statistics to keep
staff of certified public account
ants steadily employed for weeks, the
Militia Leagues official scorer de-
scended upon the sports department
this morning with the latest figures
on the boys batting and fielding eff
forts. They are ample evidence of
the caliber of play in the circuit this
season and a good omen for the
second-half series, which gets under
way week from today.
While figures are supposed to be
the truth and nothing but the
truth, s'help the statisticians, they
are little misleading in this in
stance, for the first-half champions,
St. Elizabeth's, finished fourth in
team batting. The Saints defeated
Army Medicos, I'LL, yesterday in a
play-off for the laurels, as Gibson
held the losers to three hits. His
mates pounded Rupret and Holzer
for 16, one triple by Wanley. In
other game Boiling Field turned
back Navy Receiving, 8-3.
Getting back to the statistics,
Boiling Field maintained its repu-
tation as a high f1yer-despite the
fact that it finished fourth in team
standings, by winning the top three
berths in batting with Zwisle,
Browning and Davies leading the rest
of the league by comfortable mar
gin. ZWisle, who set brisk pace
of 625 in the early stages of the race,
finished the half with the commend
able mark of 463 He is an out
fielder. Browning, a catcher,
pounded the ball for a .450 average,
while Davies, shortstop, turned in
.426 figure for the half.
Other Star Batters.
Other outstanding stickmen who
gave the pitching corps trouble were
Waseline, Fort Myer third baseman.
who maintained a steady 400 pace
throughout the series, and Thomas,
st. Elizabeth's outfielder, who fell
off from his ST. first-half gait to
400. Wanley, third base on the
same club, dropped from .47O to BIT.
Ray Hager, Bolling's second sack
er and batting champion of the
league last season, pulled his average
up to $40 after getting off to a slow
start that found him connecting at
an anemic .222 clip midway in the
half. Blazin, Army Medicos' first
baseman and one of the most-feared
batters in the league. slipped from
.4l9 to 1863, while Smith, Navy Re-
ceivlng's dependable catcher, boosted
his record from .313 to, 1863.
Boiling, using the least number of
players, compiled the best team
mark, .315, while Fort Myer, using
the most men, had the lowest, .264,
Myer, however, led in extra-base hits
with 80, one more than Army Med
icos.
Top Slab Performance.
Most impressive pitching perform
ance of the first half, excluding Glib
sons effort yesterday, was McFad-
dens 81 victory over Fort Myer, in
which the st. Elizabeths mound ace
allowed only three hits, walked one

Stroin on Reds Greet
In Touch FLAG Chose

Mr.. MacPhallS notion is that
Brooklyn will catch them. His point
of view is slightly biased. But I
agree with the timid chieftain of
the Dodgers that the Reds will lose
ground before they gain more of it.
Two or three teams are due to
surge, and the Reds will have trou-
BILE fighting them off. Can this club
of McKechnie's go a distance? 1t
couldn't last year.
Furthermore, what would happen
to that tidy Cincinnati engine,
which purrs along so smoothly to-
day, if a guy named Bucky Walters
were to jam his right hand in the
Ice box door some night? That
Walters is heavy duty back and
streak buster for McKechnie, and
an amazing amount of responsibility
for the lofty position of the Reds
belongs to him.
However, I am not trying to start
a panic. Mr.. McKechnie still enjoys
a hearty appetite. his team still is
the one to beat, and somebody still
has got to beat it. The chief dam
ger to the Reds is that the strain of
leading and making the pace in
hot race will tell on them, as it did
last year on the Giants first and
then on Pittsburgh.

Flag Fight Prospects
Stir Both Leagues
BY JOHN LARDNER,
Special Correspondent of The Star.

NEW YORK, July IL (N.A.NA3.-
Baseball season comes to its real
halfway point today, slightly abaft
the Fourth of July, and what do
we find, as we train an unerring eye
upon the situation? We find that
the situation stares right back at us.
In neither major league is the
race a runaway. The Reds of Gin
cinnati, though leading the Ma
tional League by 51a games, still are
within comfortable reach of five
other clubs in their outfit. Pitts
burgh,' in sixth place, is only nine
games off Bill McKechnie's fast
early pace at the half.
Pittsburgh's percentage is an even
500. Four other contenders are do
ing better than 500. And there is
much merit in the theory of Leland
Stanford MacPhail that a ball team
in this years National League Derby
can move to the pennant from
nothing better than an even break
in the first half of its season.
There is not a strong club in the
league" hollers Mr.. MacPhail. THE
Reds can be caught, and they will
be caught, cuss them"

Seumen's Strike
Ties Up Eastern
Steamship Lines
Fdilure of Company to Ad-
just Wages. Conditions.
Causes Wulkout

New York, N. Y.-A strike called by
the Seafarers International Union,
affiliated with the American Fedora
tion Of Labor, completely tied up the
fleet of the Eastern Steamship Lines.
The fourteen vessels used by the COM
pany were halted in ports from Port
land, Me-, to Richmond, Va.
Matthew Dushane, chairman of the
Atlantic seaboard division of the
union, declared the strike was called
because of the continued refusal of the
company officials to remedy the griev-
ances of the seamen with regard to
wages and work conditions.
He said the unions contract expired
late in March, and that ever since then
the union had undertaken, without
success, to secure wage increases of
$40 and SIS for men employed in the
deck department, the engine depart
ment, and in the walters and stewards
department.
He claimed the unions major OBJ
lection to working conditions was
based on the fact that majority of
the men have to work on the COM
pany's ships for at least seven months
straight without day off. Under such
conditions, he said, the men were en-
titled to higher pay.
