ARKY VAUGHAN LEADS HITTERS Pirate Shortstop May Finish Season With Mark Os Over .400 New York, Aug. 20. —(U.R) —Floyd "Arky” Vaughan, stocky Pittsburgh Pirate shortstop, may become the third National league slugger in 37 years to hit better than .400 in one season. Vaughan, 23-year-old Arkansas youth playing his fourth season In the majors, has hovered around .400 ever since the current campaign started. At his present clip he seems a cinch to join Bill Terry of the New York Giants and Rogers Hornsby, majiager of the St. Louis Browns, as the only National leaguers to surpass .400. X'aughan now is batting .407, 39 percentage points better than his nearest rival, Joe Medwick of the St. Louis Cardinals, and far and away better than any other player in either league. He has made 153 hits in 376 'times at liat and driven in 78 runs. The brown-headed Arkansas slugger’s rise to leading batsman of his circuit has been meteoric. After only a year in the minors, he went to Pittsburgh in 1932. He phiyed 129 games and batted .318. The following year he dropped to .314 but last year boosted his average to .333. Ait his present rate, Vaughan may turn in the second highest National batting average in 37 years. Terry hit .401 five years ago. Hornsby, then with the Cardinals, cracked .401 in 1922, hit his peajc year in 1924 with .424 and dropped to .403 in 1925 —his last as a .400 hitter. Vaughan’s batting spree was temporarily halted yesterday. The Pirates were idle because they had p'ayed their game with Brooklyn on a former date. Only two Nat-
