NATIONAL LEAGUE

NOTHER week finds Joe Medwick, outfielder and ace of the St. Louis ‘Cardinals, still shining at the top of the National League batting heap with a mark of 404, a gain of one point during the busy holiday rush. To make his leadership more emphatic, he also leads in runs batted in, in doubles with 28, and is tied for the home-run crown with Mel Ott of New York. Fach

has 17 circuit blows to his credit.

Medwick has driven home 82 runs. “Gabby Hartnett, burly Cubs’ catcher, is in second place with .388, three points ahead of Paul Waner of the Pirates. Fourth place furnishes a surprise, as Bill Jurges of the Cubs, heretofore a weak hitter, has pounded the ball at a .362 clip. Pitcher Lon Warneke of the Cardinals has won 10 and lost three, while Lou Fette of the Bees has won nine and lost three. Carl Hubbell and Dizzy Dean have won 11 and 12, respectively.

they launched a road trip at Toledo with ‘the Mud Hens. Losing four out of five to Columbus in the finale series during the long home stand pushed the Tribesters out of the upper

bracket, The third-place Red Birds annexed a mound duel at Perry Stadium last night, 3 to 1, and pulled within a game and a half of the league-leading Minneapolis MilJers ‘who lost three in a row at Kansas City. Toledo, in second place, made a clean sweep of its five-game series with Louisville and was on the Millers’ heels again just one-half game behind. Kansas City ousted Indianapolis from fourth position and climbed within five games of the top. It’s one of the closest races in American Association history and threatens to remain a thriller during the second half of the campaign. From Third to Fifth

The Indians won 10 games and lost 14 at home after winning 15 and losing four on their last road jourhey. The slump dropped them from third to fifth in the race. Three series are to be played on the Eastern swing, at Toledo, Louisville and Columbus, and will keep the Redskins in enemy territory until July 23. The series opener at Toledo today was scheduled in the afternoon and a twin bill will be played at Swayne Field tomorrow. Indians and Hens have split even in four encounters this season. Red Phillips shut out the Red Birds for seven innings last night and then weakened to finish on the losing end. It was an eight-inhing affair, cut short to allow both clubs to catch a train. Vincent Sherlock tripled after one down in the first stanza and tallied on Oscar Eckhardt’s infield out, giving the Indians a lead of 1 to 0 which they held for seven rounds. The teams had agreed not to start an inning after 10:10 and the situation looked rosy for the Redskins going into the eighth. Then the Red Birds touched off the fireworks. Double Follows Walk King, first up in the eighth, lined a single to right and stopped at second on Slaughter’s single to left. Rizzo sacrificed and King scored from third after the catch on Stein’s long foul to Taylor. Siebert, who bats lefthanded, was walked intentionally to get at Jordan, a righthanded swinger. But Jordan upset the strategy by banging a Qouble to
