Foxx Gains BAT Lead
In American Loop
Despite Illness
Nudges Browns MeQuinn
From Top; Old Leagues
Arnovich Not Pressed
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK. July 1.-The pace
has begun to tell on those st. Louis
Brownies who for weeks controlled
the hitting honors in the American
League.
While Moe Arnovich remained
secure atop the National League
list with 1892 percentage, George
McQuinn of the Browns finally was
forced to yield the junior circuit
lead to big Jimmy Foxx of Boston.
Foxx is i'll and appeared in just
two games during the week, but he
boosted his average five points to
1853 while McQuinn dropped from
that figure to $50.
In the meantime McQuinn s
teammate, Myril Hoag. an early
season pacesetter, finally dropped
out of the select first 10 listing and
another teammate, Bill Sullivan
lost his place because he was not
playing regularly.
The biggest shift in the rankings
OF either league was the 11-point
surge OF Buddy Lewis of the Wash
lngton Mats. who rose from ninth
to third in the American League on
a batting wave which also brought
George Case into the percentage
leaders as we'll as gave him the most
hits in the Junior circuit, with 81.
Zeke Bonura pushed his mark six
points to 1867 in the senior circuit.

Associated Press Sports Writer.

From an unexpected corner the
Cincinnati Reds have popped out
with one of the screwiest baseball
games of the season-perAnaps just
to emphasize the beating they're tax
ing from the breaks" these days.
If it had happened at Brooklyn
the Reds losing ST. on 4-hit pitch

matter of course. But at Chicago
games usually follow some such
standard pattern as Manager Gabby
Hartnett hitting a homer in the
clutch or Big Bill Lee firing his fast
one over the plate
1t was different yesterday. In
the second inning eight Cubs went to
bat; five drew bases on balls and
three drew strikeouts. Johnny Dou-

Lloyd (Whitey) Moore struck out
Stan Hack, but Big Ernie lombard,
last year voted the most valuable
player in the National League, let
the third strike slither clear back to
the backstop and two runs score.
Then Sears sent him to join Wander
Nicer for arguing the final strike was
foul tip.
lombard had hit his 18th home
run of the season in the second in

Root for seven other safeties to no
avail.
Since all the other National

rain, the Reds lost ground to
everybody.

NEW YORK, July 1.-The Inter-

been able to do much good about

Although the Rochester Red
Wings finally were eased out of first
place and some of his teammates
have seen their averages wither,
Cooke at the weekly accounting had
a mark of .374.
Jim Oglesby of Buffalo jumped his
percentage 7 points to 1863.
The big blow, however, during the
week was engineered by his team
mate, Lou Boudreau, who assembled
into the select 10 for the first time
by initiating his mark q points to
.331.
The top hitters were ranked in
this order after games of Wednes-

Cooke remained tied with team
mate Harry Davis for the most dou-
bles with Is, but had to yield the
leadership In total base hits to Bou-
dreau, with 81. Dickshot continued
to set the pace in triples with 10 and
Ollie Carnegie of Buffalo again led
IN home runs with is, besides taking
over the lead in runs batted in with

The general surge of the Buffalo
