Rogers Hornsby Leading Loop for Fifth Consecutive Year;' Jamieson Is Heading American St. Louis Card Equals Famous Record of Honus Wagner Who Led Older League for Four Consecutive Years— Collins Best Base Stealer Thus Far. — % By ArmtIrM Press. HICAOO, June 28 —Rogeis Horns by, batting chnm 1 plon of the Na tional league, and star second base man with the St. Louis Cardinals, today Is out to establish a new National league record, by leading the circuit In hit ting for the fifth consecutive year. With the sea son approaching the half way mark. Hornsby Is continuing the pace he set at the opening. He is slapping the ball at a .397 clip. Hornsby already has equalled the famous record of llonus Wagner, who led (he National league batsmen for four con secutive years In 3 996, 1907, 1908 and 1909. The St. Louts player took the lead and held It In 1920. 1921, 1922 and 1923. Wagner’s best mark was .380, and Hornsby bettered this with .401 In 1922. Ilornshy has marie seyen home runs, two during one game against the Cub; Snyder, New 5nrk, is closest to Hornsby with .383: Wheat, Brooklyn, follows with .380; Kelly, New York, .37(3, and Fournier, Brook lyn, .35). The latter now lias 14 home runs, while Babe Ruth, rham pion home run hitter, has 18. The figures include games of Wednesday. In the American league, Jamieson of Cleveland Is leading the park with .362, followed hv Robe Ruth wlfh .360 and Ty Cobb of Detroit, third, with .355. With Harry Hellmann of Detroit hitting the toboggan, a slight shake up resulted among the leading hit ters, but It did not affect the con tenders as much as’those hanging on the fringe of batting respectability. McNulty of Cleveland, who figured as a dangerous hitter a few days ago, fell out of the picture with even greater apeed than Hellmann. Ken Williams of St. Ixuiis, how ever, seems to have connected with a new grip and is edging towards tiie top with an average of .319. Ruth has shown consistent stick work all around. He has a total of 18 homers, having added two within a week, while Williams also connected with a pair, giving him a total of 14. "Kelt” Russell Up to Old Tricks "neb" Russell, slugging outfielder with Columbus, furnished the s»nsa tlon of the American association going on a batting rampage that drove him up among the leaders. He also started his home run hat to work j ing for an additional four olrcult smashes, giving him a total of 12. three aliove Smith of IyOUlsvil^e. Rus sell is eighth In the list of leading hitters with an sverage of .348. Apparently Neun of St. Paul, pare- I maker in hatting almost since the start of the season. Is finding the going rough. lie Is still lending the parade with .402, but failed to add a single stolen base to his collet linn ! of 2fi. Bunny Brief of Kansas City is hanging on to second place in hat ting with an aterage ot .382. Chrl*tenson of St. Paul is showing the way to the plate with 71 runs to his eredi*. hut is hotly pursued by Neun, who has scored 68 times. Other lending haliers Pressen.

THE clubhead ahnuld 11a flat and act naturally, thus allowing tha natural loft to do Its work. It should he In such a position that It sweeps through the ball according to ita proper loft. The soling of the clubhead Just before starting the stroke should be carefully, com fortably firm, solidly, and even ly on the ground. If you do this, the ground forms a sort of take off for the upward spring. The angle of the club head and the Imaginary direc tion line ahould he accurately right angular. Do not turn in the toe of the clubhead; It la sometimes well to turn It out a little hut there is a great chance that you lay It over too much and therefore I advise you to play the natural lie. Before playing examine the face of your club to be sure that nothing Is on tt, especially water, which makes a smooth slippery face and prevents an even flight. It Is a good time to say to your self that you should relax a little all over. I begin every stroke with a pre liminary wiggle waggle. Sometimes you can play better if you close your eyes to a narrow slit and take a half squint at the hall. The sandpapering or vibratory motion should never be omitted. It is the right amount of shivery husiness at the beginning of the stroke; the clubhead must not be wabbly and it should be held just quiet enough to make you feel confi dent of what Is coming.

June 23.—Of the three younger manag ers in the Ameri can league the one who is attracting the most atttntion is Eddie Collins. Collins fell heir to a Job he did not relish very well when John Evers slipped awsy to he operated on for appendicitis four or five weeks sgo. .Since Collins as he has the team going at about a .500 clip. ’ Observers in Chicago and Phila delphia who have resented the fact that ssuch a sterling hall player as Eddie Collins was not picked to lead the Sox when the season started be lieve they have been vindicated since he took hold of the team. When Collins took the reins the club was in seventh place. Two of the best pitcher*—Charley Robertson of no-hit fame, and L’urban Faber— were out of the flag-hunt on account of injuries. The prospect looked any thing hut bright for Collins. His first day as pro tem manager at Philadelphia resulted in a victory for his old teammates, the Athletics. Since that time the Sox have shown flashes of good hall, despite the fact that they have an outfielder playing shortstop, and most of the pitching burden is falling on the youngsters. Collins has the Sox pulling to gether. H» is trying everything to win. even going to the extent of placing himself second in the hatting order after having hit in third Place since he Joined the league. It ia Collins’ arpbition to have the Sox in the first division when John Evers comes back to get the post to which he fell when Frank Chance was stricken hv before the season opened. One reason that f??illns was not eager to take the post was that he figured the additional burden of man aging the Sox would injure his own playing ability, as Collire is 37 and has been going at top speed every minute he has been in tUe American league. Collins' batting is as wicked as ever. There is no second barman In the ! !»ague who can cover more ground i than he can. He is an alert field ! general and tower of strength to the club as an offensive player. Hie av j erage ia around the 323 mark and I his batting has been particularly I dangerous.
