ened his lead to 23 points, according to averages released today based on games through Thursday. Lombardi’s batting fell off two points to .352, but his closest rival, Arky Vaughan, Pittsburgh - shortstop, held second place with an average of only .329. The battle between Cecil Travis, Washington shortstop, and Jimmy Foxx, Red Sox first baseman, ‘continued to burn up the American League slugging race. Travis held first place today with .351, two points better than Foxx’s mark. Red Ruffing, Yankees’ pitcher, continued to lead the American League pitchers with 18 victories against four defeats while Cy Blanton set the National League pitching pace with 10 wins against four losses.

Gala Week- End for Youthful Swi mmers Record May Be Lowered

For Backing In to Title; Redskins Battle Brewe

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Stat Correspondent NEW. YORK, Aug. 27.—It begins to look as if the 1938 National League championship will go to a team with the fewest number of victories any winner has had since the 154-game schedule was adopted in 1904. The record for backing into the championship was set at 89 games won and 65 lost by the Cardinals in 1926. With the exception of the Pirates, whose lead is getting slimmer and slimmer, first division clubs must play at a much faster clip if they hope to take the pennant with a higher figure than the Cards’ 89 wins 12 years ago. The Pirates, with 39 games left to play, could maintain a .538 clip— 21 wins and 18 losses—and avoid

.| equalling the Cardinal mark. Their

average for the season, with 69 wins and 46 losses, is an even .600. The Second-place Giants, with an ave erage today of 560, will have to function at .658 to make it. The Chicago Cubs, 5% games off the pace, would have to increase their speed from .551 baseball to .694 while the Cincinnati Reds, in fourth place, would have to go up from

542 to .722.

Games to Play

The Pirates have 39 games to play, the Giants 38, Chicago and Cincinenati each 36. ;

It appears that the league will be begging for a leader before the end of September because every time the. Pirates get far enough out in front to feel comfortable they begin to come apart at the seams and Manager Pie Traynor has to juggle his lineup. Yesterday, they lost their third straight game to the Phillies, 6-4, although Traynor had benched Rizzo and Handley in an effort to get a new winning combination.

4! That defeat didn’t affect the Pirates’ -

415 -game lead over the Giants, however, because St. Louis took care of

| the New Yorkers, 7-6.

Chicago crept up another game, to within 5% of the top, with a 7-3 victory over Brooklyn.: Cincinnati fell out of its third place tie with ..

5 { the Cubs by losing, 6-1, to Boston.

Held to Seven Hits

Al Smith, former Giant and Pete Sivess, held the Pirates to seven hits. Traynor called on Rizzo in the ninth as a pinch - hitter, but the rookie failedto deliver. The Phils clinched’ the game with a five-run burst in the fifth. Don Gutteridge’s second triple of the day drove in Johnny Mize in the ninth with the run which enabled the Cards to lick the Giants. In the American League, the Yankees held their 12-game lead by splitting with Cleveland while sec-ond-place Boston was dividing with Chicago. The Yanks won the opener," 15-9, shelling Bob Feller for seven innings. The Vittmen won the second game, 8-5. Chicago won its opener 12-2 and lost the second 9-8,

Redclad Skaters Increase Margin

The Red team today held a come

manding lead of 97 to 88 in the Roller Derby in progress at Butler Fieldhouse. The crimson-clad racers piled up seven marks against two for the Whites in the first half of the proe gram. Three Hoosiers, Jack Cume mings, Joe Evans and Al Allison led the scoring with Allison winning the initial open house. Joe Evans of the Reds and Wes Aronson of the Whites exchanged punches after one jam and were sent to the penalty box for five minutes.
