Season Hit
Total 1872

New York. Dec. s0EINS-Luke
Appling. of the Chicago White Sox,
is revealed by the official records
today to be the l943 batting cham
pion OF the American League, and
he gained his title in a wartime
year. when pitchers were literally
pouring il on drait-weakened bat
ting opposition.
While no less than 20 hurlers in
the loop we're compiling records
showing less than three earned
runs per game. Luke was blasting
away with the most powerful bat in
the league. In $50 trips to the
plate. Luke piled up 1872 hits for
an average OF .S2s, to tie up his
second batting title.
Luke was travelling in fast com
pany. There was Dick Wakefield,
the phenomenal Detroit rockies out
field, who was second in the bat
ting column with an average Of
.Sl6. Dick barely nosed out Ralph
Houdgin, the Chicago outhelder
who batted .3l4. Rudy York. the
powerful Detroit first baseman. led
the loop in home runs. with s.,
just three more than New York
Outfielder Charlie Keller.
OF all the company in which
Luke travelled, none could have
been faster than George Case, of
Washington, who batted .29i, took
the stolen base championship for
the fifth straight season with 81,
and the runs scored division, with
1902.
For his first full season as a ma
jor leagues. Wakefield's perform
ance was truly great. The durable
youngster played in every game
and went 10 bat 633 times. His
81 runs was just In back OF Cases
1902 and Keller's 81, and his total
OF 275 bases was topped only by
ork'Ys leading 301. In addition.
Wakefield became the 18th player
in major league history to make
200 or more hits in his first full sea-
son, duplicating Johnny Pesby's
feeat of 1912.
Although the Detroit Tigers were
the most solidly-hitting club OF the
year. their average-.261-with Is
points lower Titan the mark set
by the Boston Red Sox IN winning
the team title the year before. The
league average OF .2449 was eight
points below the 1912 mark, due,
most probably, TO the mess OF star
hitters among the 200 American
Leaguers now In the armed forces.
While the batting marks were
going down. the pitching records
were being fattened. The latest
OF the war, as shown by official
records revealed yesterday. was
that OF Spurgean (Spud) Chandler,
New York pitcher, who led the AL
with 90 games won and four lost.
Spud's earned run average OF l.64
Is the lowest since Walter John
sons 149 OF 1919.
