By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Bill Mich
olson of the Chicago Cubs was just
about the most feared man at the
plate in the National League last
summer and official figures released
today tell the reason why.
Although Stan Musial OF tNs
Cardinals won his second straight
"slugging" title, figured on the ratio
Of total bases to at bats, Nicholson
was only four points behind at .545.
The Cub swatter gained the added
distinction of becoming the first
senior circuit player to double as
RBI and home run leader for two
years in succession.
Nicholson, a 30-year-old clouter
from Chestertown, Md, drove home
l22 runs and hit SO homers. Al
though Augie Galan of the Dodgers
drew the most bases on balls, 101.
big Nick was UP there close with SO.
He bounced into only three double
plays, a department led by Ernie
lombard Of the Giants with %.
Other top-ranking "slHggers" be-
hind Musial and Nicholson were
Manager Mel OFT of the Giants, .544:
Fred Dixie" Walker, who won the
batting title, $40; Phil Weintraub
of New York, .524, and Walker
Cooper Of the Cards, .504.
Vince Di Maggie of the Pirates
struck out the most times, 80, for
the third straight year, and Danny
Litwhiler of the Cards was hit most
often by pitchers, 10 times.
OFT equaled his own modern league
record by drawing five walks in ons
game, upping his lifetime total to
,629 bases on balls and 1,777 RIBS,
Weintraub fell one short of major
league mark by driving in II runs.
when the Giants batted in all 26 of
their scores to establish a big league
standard against Brooklyn, April 80,
in game they won, 26-S.
Pittsburgh was toughest to beat
when one run meant a ball game,
with 31-20 record for a .60S per-
centage, although Cincinnati ac-
tually captured the most one-run
tilts, 81, and had the best record in
extra Inning games, 14-3, for 1874.
The Cards played I'll ball at home
and .654 on the road, tops in each
case, and captured 26 by the shut
out route while losing 10 for a neat

Griffman Swats .337,
PAGES His Team in
Hits, Total Bases

American League batting statistics
for the 1914 baseball campaign are
presented today and one doesn't
have to look beyond the name OF
Stanley Spence for the Washington
clubs main achievements in at
tack.
The stocky centerhelder, with an
average of .313, was by far the Mats
best batter and ranked sixth among
the leagues better hitters, led by
Lou Boudreau of Clevelands In
dians with 1927.
Spence, who participated in 153
games, also led the Mats with 1877
hits for 288 bases, 81 doubles, eight
triples and 18 home runs. He scored
SO runs to be second only to George
Myatt, who scored 86.
Myatt Mats Second Batter.
Next to Spence among the regu-
lars was Myatt, with an average of
.204. Six regulars back of Myatt
trailed off in average to the .25l
hit by Shortstop Johnny Sullivan.
Despite this the Mats batted .261
as a team to stand fifth and their
average tied that with which De-
troit's Tigers led the league in 1943.
Bostons Red Sox topped by nine
points the 1943 best to set the league
pace this year with .270.
George Case, after a flve-year
reign as stolen-base king, was handi-
capped by injuries and gave way to
George Stirnweiss of New York's
Yankees, who led with SIS thefts.
Case was second with 40.
Boudreau's 327 is the lowest lead
ing mark since 1908, when Ty Cobb
of Detroit won the crown with 1924,
and is the third lowest in the
leagues history. The depths were
reached in 1905 when Elmer Flick of
Cleveland led with 3O6. Last year
Luke Appling of Chicago ruled with
1923.
Stirnweiss Grabs Laurels.
Stirnweiss, who took part in every
game of the season, 154, slashed out
205 hits, the only player to reach
the coveted 200 mark The Yankees
second baseman wound up with
most runs scored, 1875, and shared
honors in triples, at 16, with his fell
low player, Johnny Lindell. And it
was Lindell who topped Stirnweiss
by one to become high man in total
bases with 297.
Nick Etten, the only other Yam
kee to play in every game, wears the
home run crown, finishing with %
circuit blows. Leader IN sacrifice
hits was Eddie Mayo of Detroit
with %.
Dick Wakefield, who blazed a SEN
sational hitting trail as a rookie last
year, returned to Detroit in midsea-
son after his release from the armed
forces and ran up a healthy batting
mark Of .355, based on SO hits in
276 trips to the plate, not enough to
figure in the race for the league
title.
