AMERICAN LEAGUE

ONE other than Beau Bell, St.! Louis Browns’ outfielder, holds

the individual batting lead of the

American League. Rell’s mark of 450 puts him 12 points ahead of | Gerald Walker, the eccentric outfielder and base runner of the Tigers. Joe Cronin, boss of ey Red Sox, is in third place with al percentage of .431. But it was the pitchers, not the hitters, who stole the show this week in the junior major circuit. The spotlight in the hurling performances was held by Monte Pearson of the Yanks who held the White Sox to one hit. Averages include games of Wednesday. TEAM BATTING HR SB Pet.

Loop-Leading Brewers Here for 4 Games

Lefty Bob Logan to Face Champs Under Lights at Stadium Tonight.

The Burly Brewers are in town riding the crest of an 11-game win-

ning streak and so tar out in front in the American Association race that the rest of the league is trembling. The champions are here for a 4game series with the Indians and action will begin tonight under the lights at Perry Stadium at 8:15. It's the local night opener and though the edge was rubbed off the Tribe's home-coming on account of the disastrous road trip, many fans are willing to give the Redskins an out‘side chance to fight out of the hole. Southpaw Bob Logan will be sent against the galloping Brewers tonight and endeavor to check the mad march of the Cream City

pastimers. Shanty Hogan is to catch

for the Tribe: Factors in the success of Allan Sothoron’s team have been good pitching, timely hitting, home runs in the clutch: and the old come-from-behind spirit.

Mickey and Otto

Mickey Heath and Otto Bluege, former regulars with the Indians are playing snappy ball with the Brewers and getting hits when they count most. The champions have not lost a game on their home grounds this season, and have annexed 19 in 23 starts. They are leading the second-place Toledo club by the wide margin of seven games and are 1012 games ahead of Indianapolis. It’s probably a record for early season play. A double-header is on the books tomorrow afterncon, with the first game ‘at 2 o'clock. The series will end on Monday when another night tilt will be played. Pat McLaughlin, new righthanded hurler obtained from Detreit, will make his first start for the Indians in the first half of tomorrow's twin bill, with Hogan doing the backstopping.

Landis Probes Riddle Deal

Clark Griffith, owner of the Washington Senators, has asked Judge Landis, baseball commissioner, to investigate the physical condition of Catcher Johnny Riddle before the player was sold to the Nats in exchange for. Shanty Hogan and a sum of cash.

Wade Killefer, Tribe manager,

2 0, called at Landis’ office in Chicago 242 | yesterday and his deposition was

taken. Griffith claims Riddle pulled up with. a sore arm. after Joining the Scnators and explained that he had been suffering for several years with a recurring arm weakness. This condition was denied by the Indianapolis management. Riddle worked in six games before leaving the Indians this spring and has caught three for Washington.

Perroni Is Soft Touch for Lewis

By United Press NEW YORK, May 15. — Light Heavyweight Champion John Henry Lewis won an easy 10-round nontitle decision over Patsy Perroni of Cleveland last night. Perroni, who once lasted 10 rounds with Joe Louis, refused to- make a fight of it and Lewis scored at will. It was a dull, uninteresting scrap booed soundly by a small crowd. The only round Perroni won was the ninth, and Referee Billy Kavanaugh gave him that because Lewis landed a low W pameh, :

Bob Feller Gets Diploma

Youth on Way to Rejoin Team After Welcome Home Festival.

By United Press VAN METER, Iowa, May 15.—The station agent flagged the train, 300 townfolk cheered, movie cameras whirred and Bob Feller, brand new high school graduate, started for

Chicago to resume work today as |

the American League's strikeout king. He won’t pitch today because his right arm—the one that set a

league strikeout record last year

| and won him a $10,000 a year con-

tract with the Cleveland Indians —needs rest. But he promised Van Meter at his high school graduation ceremonies last night that “as long as I am wearing a baseball uniform I will be giving my best.” The “welcome home” festival for Bob stirred the greatest excitement in Van Meter history.

800 See Ceremony

Eight hundred men, women and

children crowded into the red brick schoolhouse to watch. Bob and his 19 classmates, girls in “formals” and boys in “Sunday clothes,” took their seats on the auditorium platform. Each wore a red rose. Beside Bob sat Florence Wishmier, valedictorian and ‘smartest girl in the class.” Four rows from the front beamed Bob's parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Feller, and his sister, Marguerite, 9. Reporters from the “big cities,” even newsreel cameramen, rubbed elbows with native Iowans. On the platform was a radio microphone. Commencement speaker John Horsley of Simpson College compared the festival with the Westminster Abbey fete of last Wednesday. Miss Wishmier stammered into the microphone that “we are glad we can contribute something to the world like Bob Feller.” George England, 5 marched to the platform with a papier mache baseball. Superintendent O. E. Lester read the hames of the graduates. The 11th was Bobs. He marched to the center, reached for the diploma, missed, reached again and got it, spun on his heel and walked back to his seat blushing.

Bob Makes Speech

As class president, Bob had to make a speech. : “When I was playing baseball in high school, little did I realize that I would be playing big league baseball today,” he said. “I will assure all of you, however, so long as I am wearing a baseball uniform I will give the best I have.” The people cheered, and cheered again when Lester unveiled a portrait of Bob from behind an Ame:ican flag. It will hang in’ the schoolhouse. Bob dashed out the door with his mother, father and sister, drove them ‘to the station in the car he bought them last summer. Three hundred of the audience followed. He kissed his mother and sister, shook hands with his father. stepped on the train. Barely in time, Marguerite reminded Bob he had left his bags on the platform.

Its ‘Prof. Dean’ Now; He'll Teach Baseball

By United Press PHILADELPHIA, May 15.—Jerome (Dizzy) Dean, Cardinal pitcher, and Manager Jimmy Wilson of the Phillies have signed a contract to conduct a baseball school in Florida next winter. Site of the school will be the ball park formerly used by the St. Louis club at Bradenton, Fla.
