REISER. CAMILLI
 OF BROOKLYN
 BEST SLUCGERS
Mccormick of Reds Hard- est to Fan in National
 League
BY JACK CUDDY United Press stalf correspondent)


 New York, Dec. 27.-CUP) = Achievements of that doughty Dodg- or duo. Pete Reiser and Dolph Ca- milli, feature the national league slugging records released today.
 Reiser, the rookie outfielder who copped the circuits batting cham pionship with .S4S, added another plume to his bonnet by leading the league in the siugging or total base department with c percentage Of .BSs.
 This was only Two points above the .6b6 registered by his mate, first- sacker Canilli, who batted in the most runs, i20, and. incidentally, struck out the most times, il6.
 Can1illPs slugglng percentage iS probably the most important figure in today's sheet Of records because that .bb0 is a powerful explanation Of why the baseball writer's asgocia- ton named him the leagues most valuable player. Such ar explanation certainly Is not found In DolphS .2e5 batting average, which was for from Reiser's top .34S.
 Johnny Mlze, betting fer the Card. inals, was third iil slusglng. with .b35, followed by another Dodger, Joe Medwick, ,5l7, and Enos Slaugh- ter of the Cards, .4O6.
 Big Target
 While Pete Reiser was doing his brilliant slugslng, rival pitchers ob- talned c mild sort of satisfaction by hitting him ii times with pitched balls, giving him the doubtful honorS in that department also.
 Elble Fletcher of the Pirates re. celved the most bases on ballg-1ie flor the seeolid consecutive seasen. Prank Mccormick of the Reds struck out the least number Of times-i3- among i00-game players. Mel Ott of the Giants received 100 bases on balls, bringing his record for 100 Of more season to nine years, and his lifetime total to l.33B, the most received by any national league player. ott also was the toughest man to double up. He was low man among 100.gAme perform CTS in hitting into double plays, do. ing 1t only twice.
 Brooklyn, league champion, led iil club Slugging with .406, batted In | most runs, TAT. and received the most bases on balls, 600. The Cubs struck out the most times, 070. The Cards had the most batsmen hit by | pitched balls, 28, and the Phlllles hit Into the most double plays, i42.
