‘Williams Now Leads Hit Parade in American Loop

NEW YORK, Aug. 27 (U. P.)—Individual baseball stars had a

chance for some attention todhy emphasis on team action.

after a season of unprecedented

Johnny Mize of the Giants, with his prodigious home run feats, has beefi” the closest thing to a consistent individual headliner, but no one has dominated the aprts, Juses as Ted Williams did last year.

Instead, the headlines have of “Dodgers Nip Cards in er Game" “Yankees Win, Move Farther " But the pennant races marked time yesterday as the Dodgers, Cardinals and Yankees lost and the yg Red Sox got only a split, so the| spotlight went onto the individuals.| Mize, as usual, led the headlines with his 41st and 42d home runs, and he needs 18 more fourbaggers! in 33 games to tie Babe Ruth's rec ord of 60 in a season.

Three for Seven

Williams, with a minimum of fan-|

dare, has climbed to the top of the American league in hitting despite the defensive shift, and his three hits in seven tries in the doubleheader left him at .343, a 12-point lead over Lou Boudreau of Cleveland. Harry Walker still led the | National league with .349 and Pete Reiser of Brooklyn was a distant second at .318, indicating that Walwer is the pew batting champ unless he goes into an unbelievable slump. The most glory went to Phil Marchildon, Athletic righthander, wha had a perfect game for eight Innings against Cleveland and lost A no-hitter in the ninth, then won his 16th victory of the year with a 12th-inning double. And in Brooklyn, where things always are different, the Dodgers didn't know whether they had a new star or not in Dan Bankhead,®26-year-old righthander who became] the first Negro major league pitcher.| His hurling was slammed for 10 hits and eight runs in three innings, but he himself retaliated with a two-run homédr \Pittsburgh walloped the Dodgers, | 16 to 3, making Hal Gregg the loser| and bringing Bankhead on in the second inning. They drubbed him Just -as- hard, chasing him during the course of a seven-run fifth inning. Bankhead’s homer came on his first major league at-bat. In Justice to the Negro, it must be mentioned that Gregg and Rex]
