y
American league batting title twice
in succession. AL Simmons accomp-
lished the feat in 1890 and 1881.
Except for those two years, there's
been a change in batting leaders
every year since the Georgia Peach
last copped the hitting crown in
1919.
There's a saying in the dugout
that good hitter can get lucky and
win the batting crown once, but
that it takes a real hitter to win 1t
more than once. And when a man
wins it twice in q row there's no
doubt about his ability to clout the
onion.
Dimaggio won the batting title
last season with an average of 1881.
He hasn't been prominent chal-
lenger to repeat until the last few
days.
Some of the spring hitters have
gradually come down and Jolting
Joe has been coming up. Yesterday
was field day for him. He went
"3 for 81 in each game and lifted
his batting average from 1874 to $50
He's now in second place, one point
behind the leader, Rip Radcliff of
the Browns.
Dimaggio's slugging featured the
Yanks' double victory over the Red
Sox 6-1 and 1913 Ct innings, dark
ness. Marius Russo held the Red
Sox to five hits to gain his ninth
victory in the opener. The Yanks
went wild in the nightcap, called
because of darkness. pounding Is
hits for 29 bases. Dimaggio led the
assault with two homers, one with
the bases loaded and the other with
two mates on.
Cleveland increased it's American
league lead to two games by hand =
ing the Tigers their fourth straight
loss, 6-5. The Tigers went into the
last of the eighth, leading 5-3, only
to have Beau Bells single drive
in two runs to tie the count. An
error by Dutch Meyer, Subbing for
the ailing Gehringer at second, lost
the game in the ninth. Ray Mack
singled, was sacrificed to second
and scored when Meyer let Ben
Chapmans roller go through him
for an error.
The White SoX came back to de-
feat the Browns, 4-3, with two out
in the ninth after trailing 80 at
one time. Luke Appling'S single
and Taft Wright's double produced
the winning tally.
Philadelphia slammed Dut C h
Leonard for 13 hits and Walloped
the Senators 6-3 before 7215 last
night. Johnny Babich kept IL hits
scattered for his ninth win.
Cincinnati pulled one out of the
fire by sneaking through to a 4-3
triumph over the red-hot Piral leS
in 10 innings. The Reds tied the
score in the ninth when Frank Nc .
Cormick hit a homer and Werber
was passed with the bases filled
forcing in a run Then in the tenth
Rey walked, went to third on Frank
Mccormick single and scored when
Bob Elliott threw wild to the plate
after catching Ival Goodman's fly.

games the Cardinals trimmed the

ans denied he had ever mentic:4ed

The facts are, the YanKs probab
wouldn't consider Williams as o
cam member because Manager Joe
Mccarthy refuses TO harbor TEMP
ramental ball players. Boston wouiC
bot part with Williams unless a

Williams probably did say he wanted

It's entirey possible that Williams
ctually didn't mean a word of IL
khen he made the statement but
bought the attention of Manager
