CHICAGO, Aug.7. The three leading batters in the American league fattened up their batting averages during the past week, but "Babe" Ruth, the home run champion, -who is in fourth place, suffered a slump before Dick Kerr in the last game of the series between Chicago and New York. He was at bat five times, but connected for only one hit. Tris Speaker, the Cleveland manager who tops the batters, gathered 11 hits in seven games and boosted his mark from .411 to .417, which is 15 points better than that of George Sisler, the St. Louis star, who is the runner-up. with an average of .402. Joe Jackson, the slugging outfielder of the Chicago White Sox, is third, with a mark of .398, while Ruth is hitting .391. The averages are of players who participate in DO or more contests and include gam of Wedneday. Ruth continues to be the sensation of the- league. This was evidenced again In the series Just played at Chi. cago between the Yankees and the White Sox. For the four days a crowd officially estimated at 126.000 came out to witness the games witb n hope of seeing the big southpaw slugger crack the ball out of the field. Only once during the series, was Ruth able to "deliver" on his specialty. Drives Ball on Line. That was on the second day when be drove the ball on a line into the right field bleachers for four bases. Claude Williams was pitching and it was the third homer Ruth had collect ed at his expense. This smash marked Ruth's 38th home run. Against Faber the following day. he was unshio to hit. because the game was

BEST GOLFER IN U.S. TO BE CROWNED SOON (By Associated Press) TOLEDO, O., Ag. 13. With 100 or more prominent golfers here from all parts of the country for the national open tournament at Inverness beginning next Tuesday, the question of who is the likely winner is being discussed today around the hotel lobbies, in the Inverness clubhouse and on the course. The championship will assume an international aspect because of the presence of Harry Vardcn of Totteridge, Edward Ray of Oxey, and Pat O'Hara of Shackamaxon. The cream of American talent is entered, both amateur and professional. The professionals outnumber the amateurs but in skill the outcome is open to question. Walter Hagen. defeated at Deal, but victorious at Versailles, will defend the championship he won last year at Braeburn. Mike Brady, runner up in 1919, is another who will be figured in the thick of the fray. A banker estimates the public has lost $750,000,000 In questionable securities during the past 18 months.

M. C. A. team failed to show up for its game in the Commercial league Friday afternoon and the game went by forfeit to the Himes Dairy team. Manager Nicodemus, of the Himes crew, announced after a conference with officials ' that the game would not be scheduled again. The reason for the "Y's" failure to report has not been announced. S. A. L. Baseball Saturday's S. A. L. schedule calls for some fast battles and it is almost a toss-up with the fans whether they will see the Starrs and the J. V.'s mix at Reid Field or whether they will see the Natco-Wayne Works fray at Exhibition Park. The Wayne Works gang has perfected its team work, tightened up all the holes, tried to make the infield airtight, and is expecting to give the league leaders a real battle in Saturday's contest. Although the Starrs have a strong line-up, they will have a "fight to the finish" tussle on their hands in defeating the J. V. organization. The fact that the Jenkins men have lost a couple of players during the last week, however, appears to give the Starrs the edge.
