THE annual grid struggle for possession of the Old Oaken Bucket is the No. 1 dish on Hoosier football fans’ menu this Saturday. . . . The Hoosier classic is to be staged at Lafayette on the Purdue Boilermakers’ field and it looks like a tossup. . .. The choice here is Indiana.

Cleveland Has Had Seven Champs IN the past baseball season, Manager Lou Boudreau gave Cleve-
land its seventh American league batting championship. . .
. Other
Clevelanders to top the league were Larry Lajole in 1001-03 and "04;
Elmer Flick in '05, Tris Speaker in 19
16, and Lew Fonseca in '29. . .
Lajole hit for Cleveland's highest mark, 405 in 01, the American's first season as a recognized major, and the lowest was .306 by Frick. Cleveland is second in the production of American league champions with Detroit leading by a wide margin. ... The Tigers have had 19 leaders, starting with Ty Cobb in 1907... . The Georgia won 12 titles and nine in a row before he was checked by Speakers’ 386
in 10186,
After Cobb, Harry Heilmann won four to become the leading right-hand hitter since Lajole, and Heinle Manush, Dale Alexander and Charlie Gehringer added the other Tiger championships.
WHILE the Yankees became famous on their slugging, they have had only four batting champions—Joe DiMaggio twice and Babe
Ruth and Lou Gehrig.
Three clubs have produced a trio of batting leaders: The Sena-
tors, Athletics and Browns. .
. For Washington there were Ed
Delebanty, back in 19032, and the more modern Buddy Myer and
Goose Goslin.
Six Local Pin Topplers Soar Over the 650 Mark
Although no record-breaking scores
emerged from last night's bowl-
ing sessions, six soloists topped the 650 mark in their three tries at the
maples. Virgil Reichard of the West Side
Merchants’ league was the evening's
top man, his 247, 209, 222678 for Hornaday Milk gaining him the honors.
Shet Cly, rolling on the same alleys, —672, resulting from the CurtissWright matches. John Mencin, in leading the Indl. anapolis league session at Pritchett's, had 237, 226, 202-865 for Marott Shoes. The loop was firing at new pins, which brought about light scor-
ing. Hal Witte of the American Legion league at the Pennsylvania had 234, 171, 2506565; Ed Burkert turned in a second bulging series for the Curtiss-Wright circuit, having 246, 218, 100—654, and Al Weevie garnered 200, 193, 258-631 in the West Side Merchants. Six women, all members of the Ernest Johnson Coal league at FoxHunt, passed the 550 mark. Mary Baas set the pace with 528, Patty Striebeck had 578, Ruth Kreffel 875, Bertha Urbanie' 568, Helena Madden 562 and Bernis Robling 550.

A spokesman for the Maryland war finance committee, which is handling the sales of the bonds, said that by far the bulk of the 17,000 seats available to the general public were going to purchasers of $25 bonds. In the ballyhoo which preceded the transfer of the game from the Thompson stadium of Navy academy at Annapolis to the municipal stadium here, it was estimated by treasury department officials that approximately $50,000,~ 000 worth of bonds could be sold to persons anxious to see the game. One treasury department spokesman sald that it appeared $10,000,000 might now be the highest figure to hope for and that the total sales probably would fall below that mark.
