Pills Walker Holds National Pace;
McQuinn Replaces MulIin In American

NEW YORK, May 26-(PrHar-
ny Little Dixie)) Walker, Phila-
delphia's fleet centerfielder, still
heads the race for the individual
batting championship Of the Ma
tional League, but he faces a
serious challenger in Johnny Mize,
the big gun in the New York
Giants hard-hitting lineup.
Walker, hitting at 1888 including
games of Sunday, still boasts a
comfortable q point bulge over
! Mize despite his seven point drop
from last weeks $3.50 figure.
Starting off at his usual slow
pace. Mize has been coming like
a house afire in the last two weeks
to raise his average more than
100 points to a neat 1856 for sec
ond place in the race. He has hit
safely in his last IA games.
Raw Lamanno, Cincinnati's hard
hitting catcher, also picked up
points, raising his mark from 1893
to .351, good for third place. Bos-
toms Bob Elliott is fourth with
.348, a dozen points ahead of Enos
Slaughter of St. Louis. Walker
Cooper of the Giants with $50 is
sixth, followed by Phil C%avarretta
of Chicago and Frank Cuisine OF
Pittsburgh, each with .319. The
Giants Willard Marshall, at .31e
and the Phillies' Emil Verban at
.317 round out the big ten.
Mize dubbed two more homers
last week to increase his pace
setting output to u. Big Jawn also
has scored the most runs, Sc.
Rookie Earl Torgeson of the
Braves increased his leading runs
batted in total to 80 while recruit
Frank Baumholltz of Cincinnati
has banged out the most hits, 43.
Sophomore Del Ennis of Phila-
de1ohia owns the most two baggers
II, and Cooper of the Giants has
the most triples, three. Torgeson,
Jackie Robinson of Brooklyn and
Bobby Adams of the Reds are
tied for the most stolen bases
with four apiece.
SouthpaW Warren SPAIN now
has Won seven games without a
defeat. He tops the Phillies School
boy Rowe who has won six without
a setback. Ewel Blackwell of
Cincinnati tops the hurlers with IS
strlkeouts, one more than Red
Munger of the Cardinals has COM
piled.

In addition to the Wilmington
Dunn rainout, whatever you do on
a rainy night in Sanford was what
the Clinton Blues were doing, and
ILumberton's Cubs were forced to
call off their reception for the War
saw Red Sox.
Red Springs welcomed another
new player, Fred Van Hook, VINO
played at shortstop part of the eve
ming. Joe Magini, the new first
Ibaseman obtained from the Phlla-
delphia Athletics, did all right for
the Robins last night, collecting a
triple and a single in four trips to
the plate. He also %sparkled afleld,
handling - chances clearly.
However, Smithfield showed a
total lack of politeness in welcom-
ing the newcomers to the league,
jumping on their teams two hurl-
ers, Brown and Burch, for seven
runs in the second inning. Leaf
Manager Mickey Balla and Center
fielder Becker waggled a mean
hickory last night, both of them
tapping out three hits. Becker in
cluded a double and a triple in
his array of base knocks, while
driving in two runs and scoring
once himself. Balla drove in one
and tripped across the platter
three times.
All in all, the Leafs banged out
IA hits, Brown being the losing
pitcher. Benton was the winner for
Selma-Smithfield.

GLIDING seven members of the tri-
umplant Walker cup team-came
successfully through the opening
days play in which the weather
played an important part. Ten of

two advanced by defaults; one fail

given a days delay by the sched-
ule.
Winners of two of the days clos
est matches were National Cham
pion Ted Bishop of South Natick,
Mass, and Francis Ouimet, 81
year-old non-playing captain of the
United States Walker cup team. A
couple of others got into various
sorts of troubles on the first nine
but won because their opponents
experienced the same kind of diff
