PECKINPAUGH IS SENSATION

New York Yankees’ Star First Baseman Leads League In Batting— Run Scoring High. Boger Peckinpaugh Is the real American league sensation of the year. This Is Peck’s eighth American league season, and his best mark In hitting was in 1913, when he hit .268. Most of the time he has been below 250, and now he leads the league with approximate-

ly a .400 average. His run scoring is as remarkable as his batting. He has crossed the plate 43 times in 54 games. If this rate is maintained until the end of the season he will practically tie Cobb’s mark of 147 runs, made in 1911.
