BEST ALL-ROUND PLAYER CREEPING TOWARD TOP OF THE BATTING LIST

The best all-round baseball player in the country this season is George Slsler of the St. Louis Americans, according to nearly all the big league critics. Sisler is now creeping toward the top of the American league batting list. He recently went from the seventh position in batting to second and now has a mark of .381. Staler was a University of Michigan player and he broke into professional baseball as a pitcher at Columbus in 1912. Helms played every position on the Browns except that of catcher. His regular position at th® present time is first base.
