DETROIT TIGERS
and Wakefield
HAD Great Year
By GLEN PERKINS
UNITED Press Correspondent

New York, Dec. 20. (UP)-Base-
balls all-important batting average
department took something of a
beating in the American League
during the 1943 season, according to
official league figures release today.
The news was not unexpected be-
cause the more than 2oO-American
Leaguers now in the armed services
included such sluggers as Ted Will
liams Of the Red Sox, Joe DiMaggio
of the Yankees and Hank Greenberg
of the Tigers.
League hitting average was .249,
eight points below the 1912 average,
with team honors going to the De-
troit Tigers with collective mark
OBJ .261, 15-points lower than the
league leading average of the Bos-
ton Red Sox year ago. The jump
was a big one for Detroit, in its first
year under Manager Steve ONeil.
8he club had finished seventh in
team batting in 1912.
The 1943 circuit batting crown
went to the veteran Luke Appling,
Chicago White Sox shortstop who
hit 1928 to take the title for the
second time. Appling knocked out
1872 hits in 535-appearances.
Rookie Dick Wakefield of the
Tigers placed second with an aver
age of 1916, was the only man in
the circuit to get 200 hits during
the year and also led the league in
doubles with 38. His teammate Rudy
York, veteran first baSeman, belted
the most home runs, "a, battde in
the most runs and won total base
honors.
Ralph Hodgin of the Chicago
White Sox placed third with bat
ting mark of .314 and the only other
regular to crock the 300 circle was
Dober Cramer of the Tigers who
exactly hit that mark.
In 1912, seven men hit 300 or bet
ter and in Al, 16 made the grade.
Speed to Spare
George Case of the Washington
Senators, enjoyed one of the his best
seasons. He batted .294 and stole
81 bases to lead the circuit in that
department for the fifth consecutive
year. Case also led in the runs scored
column with 102. Wally Moses OF
the Chicago White SoX, finished
second in stolen bases with Sc to
his credit. The Chicago outfielder
also tied Johnny Lindell Of the New
York Yangees for the league leader
ship in triples, each having IL.
Overall batting honors for the
year in the junior circuit went to
Wakefield. The rookie fulfilled every
hitting prediction made by O'Neill
in enjoying one of the best fresh
man years ever recorded. He went to
bat the most times, 633, playing in
very game. His 81 runs scored was
third, his 275-total bases was topped
Only by York's league leading .301
and in addition, he became the 18th
player in major league history tt
make 200 or more hits in his first
full season Of play.

Benrus Is, Bristol %.

In the opening game of the af-
ternoon a thus far, seemingly I'M
lucky squad of boys managed to
down Whitley Magner's Bristol COM
Dine by one basket, preventing the
Bristol aggregation from breaking
into the win column thus far this
season. This team was the Ben
rus five" which barely managed in
The two closing periods to wrestle
a two-point lead from the Bristol
"Bomoardiers", to win by one bas-
ket.
At the close of the first period
of play, Bristol held a bare one
point lead after they had gotten
off to a seemingly fast start, with
Whitley Bliga throwing up points
toward the points which his team
mad piled up in ten minutes OF
pretty fancy shooting. The score
at the end period being to 7 in
favor of Bristol, Hertling, the tall
rangy Benrus center tossing through
4 of his teams total of seven points.
This period was the only period
which found Bristol in the lead at
the end, as well as being the only
other time outside of the last few
minutes of the fourth period that
Bristol held a lead at all. At the
half time it was IA to II, due mainly
to the shooting of Norm Levine,
for Benrus, and at the third quar-
ter mark it was 10 to II in favor

the game up % all, then the ball
was stalled by both teams for the
next 4 and one-half minutes but
finally in the last 80 seconds Of
scoring opportunity, Johnny Con-
ley, fast Benrus left guard threw
in an overland shot from under
the basket, ending the ball game
for Bristol, with about nine seconds
to go. The ball was again stalled

in favor OF Benrus, Is, Bristol %.
