a (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, July 13. Tyrus Raymond Cobb, batting champion of the American league, after getting a late Ftart, is blazing the trail for the 1918 batting supremacy. Averages released today give the Detroit star a mark of 371; as against 355 for George Sisler of St. Louis, the leader a week ago. Sisler, however, Ftill leads the Georgian in base stealing, with 'SO against 25. Bobby Roth of Cleveland is between them with 27. The averages include games of Wednesday. The figures on Cobb and Sisler in their batting struggle are: Cobb 69 256 54 95 25 .371 Sisler 6G 265 42 94 30 .355 " The remarkable batting streak which sent Cobb rushing to the top was started on June 17, and he pushed ahead until he was neck and neck with the leaders, almost before they realized it. His batting recovery is one of the most spectacular that Cobb ever staged. In his last thirteen games he has cracked out eleven hits, stole four bases and scored eight runs. He passed Harry Hooper of Boston for the lead in scoring, having counted f4 times against 51 for Hooper. Frank Baker of New York added interest to the unusual batting situation in the Araericanl eague by driving out his 100th hit during the week. "Babe" Ruth of Boston, however, disappointed his admirers by failing to bag another homer. His record of eleven, however, remains out of danger. Pecktnpaugh of New York .and McInnis or Boston, are giving Shean, also 'of Boston, a race for honors in sacriflee hitting, Shean having a one roint advantage with a total of 22. New York is showing the way in team batting with 267 and Boston in team field, ing with 970. Leading batters for 35 or more games: Cobb, Detroit, 371; Sisler, St. Louis, r.55: Baker, New York, 341; Burns, Philadelphia, 336; Pipp, New York, 317: Milan.

J. C. Smith, of BoBton. drove Merkle of Chicago, out of second place with .336. Hollocher, the 21-year-old sensation with Chicago, advanced from eighth to fifth place in the list, of leaders, with .310. Max Carey of Pittsburg, the leading base stealer, has a margin of ten thefts over George Burns, of the Giants, his nearest competitor. Carey's total is 36; Burns, however, remains high in scoring, having registered 50 times In 73 games. Roush of Clncin- - TinM. hroke the tie for honors in sacri-

"It really takes a trip to the front

to make one realize that baseball is the national game of America," said

Mr. Stringer today. "I saw our boys playing from London to Paris right up to the front line trenches. Most

of the units have their own teams,

and in some places leagues have been formed. Rivalry is keen and the men take as much interest in the fortunes of their respective nines as. they do In the big league races at home.

AUTOMOBILE PUTS MEN ON BATTLE LINE OF HARVEST

The gap between the city farm-work volunteer and the job which Is waiting for him on the nearby farm will be bridged in large measure by the automobile, according to Dale Bowers of the Central Auto Station Company, distributors of Oldsmobiles. "The automobile," said Mr. Bowers, "is going to be the salvation of the harried American farmer this fall in much the same way that it was to Marshal Joffre on the Marne four years ago it is going to put the men on the battle line at the moment when they are most needed." : "The emphasis of the food campaign in the beginning was placed on the Idea of saving tut later it was seen that if we were to have food to 6ave, our farms must grow more foodstuffs this year than ever before. Food must be produced for the fighters and the workers in all the allied countries." "With thousands of young men gone from the farm to the camps and the trenches, and thousands more attracted by war-time waes to the cities, those in charge of Uncle Sam's food supply foresaw that unaided the American farmer would not be able to harvest the crops on which the world's welfare depends. This realization was the starting point of the plan to. put

the city men at the service of the

farmer when it comes time to gather in his crops. This program has work

ed out so well that an ample supply of labor is now assured and it only remains to arrange to put these volunteer workers on their jobs."

hy JACK.KEENE If the Yankee pitching staff ever reaches that stage where Ray Caldwell can be spared. Miller Hugglns will jump at the opportunity to convert Caldwell Into an outfielder. Huggins Is satisfied that Caldwell would be a consistent .300 hitter if he was used In the game every day. At the same time he realizes that Ray would lose much of h's effectiveness as a pitcher if he was used for outfield duty. At the present time he prefers to use the tall telegrapher for pitching, as he has shown to advantage in recent games. Caldwell is not quite as speedy as in the old days, but he is a crafty boxman and opposing clubs will find It difficult to score many runs agaiust him. Who should bob up as a hurler in the International league but old Doc Scanlon, who has been out of the game for years. Who's next? Has Jack Hendricks been fortunate enough to grab off one of those rare baseball stars a youth of the Cobb, Speaker and Sisler type? Many fans are beginning to believe that Clifton Heathcote will eventually reach that exalted station In baseball. Here is a nineteen-year-old youth from Glen Rock. Pa., who has been playing as stunning baseball as any

individual has done in the majors. In the nineteen-lnning tie recently between the Phillies and Cardinals, Heathcote had a single, double, triple and home run and contributed - the needful blows to make the drawn battle possible. Heathcote is as fast as a bullet, bats left-handed and fairly skims over the turf in chasing drives. There apparently are untold possibilities In Heathcote, whom Hendricks says is getting better with every game. Clarence Kraft, the player on whose account a player's strike was called a few seasons ago. has left for the Fort Worth, Texas, league club to join the army. ... .
