NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-The COM

Ted Williams of the Boston Red
Sox has put the American League
batting championship in a bag and
tied the top while two representa-
tives Of the Brooklyn Dodgers and
st. Louis Cardinals are trading wal
lopS for no decision in the National.
The Red Sox fireman gained four
points this week, the same amount
he lost last week, to lift his average
to All.
Cevil Travis of Washington. the
No. 2 batter, slipped four points to
800 during the week. Joe Di Maggie
of the New York Yankees, still out
of action, remained stationary at
1856.
There was plenty Of shuffling
among the leading National League
hitterS. Pete ReiSer of the Dodgers,
who has been on top more often
than not this season, sprinted nine
points to regain the lead at 1888,
while Johnny Hopp of the Cardinals,
who had 1888 mark last Saturday,
skidded to 1876. This was good
enough for second place because
Nick Etten of the Phillies, who was
hitting 329, also slipped seven points.
