JP) The sensational first-place monop oly of the usually lowly St. Louis Browns advances the theory that in wartime baseball averages are just a lot of figures.

League leaders for the entire season with the exception of about three weeks in May, the Browns, according to latest batting and fielding averages, are definitely a second-division club, sixth place at best. They have only one .300 hitter Vernon Stephens and his aver age has not been on the favorable side of that mark more than half the year. Although presenting the only en tirely veteran infield in the majors, the club's fielding has left much to be desired. The averages rank them sixth, two percentage points out of last place. Muncrlef Best Pitcher.

It must be pitching, say the Browns' fans. But the club's best pitching record nine victories and five losses is owned by Bob Mun crief. And yesterday Muncrief was the victim of a lZ-to-l lacing at the hands of the Boston Red Sox. One bright spot on the team's record is the loss column. Besides losing fewer games than any of the other seven clubs, the Browns never have lost more than three carries in succession.

The club has shown the ability to bounce back. Twice in double headers they have lost the first game by more than 10 runs only to defeat their opponents in the nightcap. Fight and spirit don't show in the averages, but they may bring the Browns their first pennant in American League history.

I New York, July Muslal. the St. Louis Cardinal out tie der with the bat full or base hits, is making a robust bid in hopes of becoming the sixth player in baseball's modern era to carry off the major league batting title two years in a row. It's a select group that the pelt ing Pole from Pennsylvania is thinking of joining, for the live who have preceded him were the illustrious slammers Nap Lajoie, Ty Cobb, Rogers Hornsby, Honus Wagner and Ted Williams. But there little reason to think that the donora dynamiter won't make the grade for he took the crown last year with a mark of 357 and currently Is batting a fancy .341.

Baseball men agree that slender, 23-year-old Stan would come home in front desuite his current slump and that from all indications then only pitcher who will be able to cut him down is a bearded chap currently pitching a shutout under the name of Uncle Sam. Muslal faces an imminent call from his local draft board and that it his big warry. e4JO Rival hurlers point out that Muslal can hit anything they serve up to him. They marvel, too, at the power which the slender, Im pounder generates with his loose swing. "He's another Hornsby," one hurler commented.

"And just like Hornsby ha hits hard to tha opposite field. That's common among really great hitters. They pick up a lot of polnta that way because tha fielders can't gang up oa them." i I JeW.

The New York Yankees threw a damper on Muslal admits himself that only- one pitcher ever really gave him a ot of trouble; that was Johnny (No-Hit) Vander Meer of the Reds. But the Dutch master is In the navy now and It looks like clear sailing for the brown-haired belter from Sportsmons park although he recently has gone into a minor jlump. La.joie was the first man to take the crown in successive years, leading 'em all In 1903 and 1904 with marks of .355 and .381. Wagner came next, in 1907 and 1908, with .350 and .334. The biggest man was Cobb as he paced the American League 12 years and the major for 10 years of which he was top man from 1909 through 1915 with .377, .385, .420.

,410, .390, .368 and .369, and then In 1917-18-19 with .383. .382 and .384. Hornsby led the National League seven years but only was able to win the major league title two successive years. The Rajah did that In 1924 and 1925 with marks of .424 and .403. Williams, the Boston bomber now In the service, cleared the decks in 1941 and 1942 with averages of .406 and .356, Muslal's winning .357 of last year doesn't compare too unfavorably and, with the lower caliber of wartime pitching, he bids fair to boost ms average.

How does he do It "Well. I never suesa tha Ditch." he explained. "They throw 'em up there and when I whit'i com ing I maka up my mini So far I've oetn lucxy."
