roaring battle for the batting cham
pionship of the International League

week. for all the results obtained.
Henry Majeski of the Newark
Bears was three points out in front
of Bob Patrick of the Buffalo Bisons
last week and he still was three
points ahead this week.
Each Loses Two Points.
The only thing that changed was
their percentages. both of which
dropped two points. When the Of
