American League Billy Sullivan didn’t see much action behind the bat for Cleveland

the past week, but three games|

served to hold the batting leadership of the American League for him.« In those three games Billy made five hits to 12 at bats increas-

ing his average two points to 408.

Meanwhile, Joe DiMaggio, of the

'{ Yankees, who was pursuing Sulli-

van a week ago with .384, went back to .360 to trail Charlie Gehringer, Detroit, and Lou Gehrig, Yanks, by

two points. Gehringer had the best increase of any of the .300 hitters, seventeen hits in 34 at bats for an average of just .500. bis added 19 points to his averag Frank Grosset, Yanks, scored at least one run per game in 14 consecutive games before he was stopped on June 6. He scored 24 runs during this streak. Lefty Grove,” Red Sox, won his ninth game and with only one mark against him, again leads the hurlers. Jim Henry, Red Sox freshman, has won four and lost none, for the nominal pacemaking honors. The following American League averages

Jack Johnson.

Johnson's story is much the same. Because of his troubles with the law in this country he had been in a state of semi-retirement as far as sharp competition went for several years when he faced Jess Willard under a hot Havana sun—and on top of that he had reached 37. Another old man. The day Willard beat Johnson he was as strong as seven horses and comparatively young, but four years later when he clashed with Jack Dempsey on the banks of the Maumee he was a poorly trained, indifferent second -rater whose added height and weight was just so much excess baggage in the blistering heat. ¥ "8 8 \EMPSEY was only 31 when_ he lost to Gene Tunney in Philadelphia, but he hadn't fought for three years and in consequence was ring-rusty, awkward and flustered.
