NEW YORK. June 30 -lP)-
Les Fleming, the pudGy young
man from Nashville who inner
tied the Cleveland first base job,
is the hottest thing in major
league baseball right now.
Fleming, who battered South
crn Association fences for a Ala
average last season, climbed )
points last week to become the
greatest threat to the continued
reign Of Joe Gordon, New York
Yankees, as the leading batter
in the American League.
While Gordon slipped from
.367 to 1868, Fleming raped II
hits in l8 official trips to the
plate for an astounding average
of .667 for the week. That bar
rage lifted him from fourth in
the league race to second with a
.346 figure.
