From start to finish, the strife for batting honors among the regular performers was chiefly among three men, Leon "Goose" Goslin of Washington, Heinle Manush of St. Louis and Lou Gehrig of New York. This contest went clear up to the last week, when Gehrig fell a few points behind and not until the final day was the winner determined between Goslin and Manush, the former nosing out ahead with a mark of .379.

Manush was next to him, only one point behind and Gehrig was third with .374.

Leon (Goose). Goslin, slugging Washington outfielder, led the American League in batting in 1928.

The name of the current king of the hitters was not known until the official American Leaguo batting records were made public today for the final and official figures reveal that the Senator won the crown by a single point from Henry Manush. star clouter of the St. Louis Browns. CONTESTS THIS WEEK for him to lav off for a time durine the season. He Doled 173 hits in 456 times at bat and among his wallops were 36 doubles, ten triples and 17 home' With only one good arm, Goose Goslin," Washington outfielder, belted his way Into the 1928 American League batting championship, according to the official averages.

Goslin won a hot race against Heinle Manush and his average of .379 was Just one point better than the .378 earned by the St. Louis outfielder. In winning the highest honors for a batsman and Joining the select company of Delehanty, Lajoie, Cobb, Speaker, Sisler, Ruth and Heilmann, Goslin owes some thanks to Bucky Harris, until recently manager of the Washington club. It is doubtful that any other manager in baseball would have allowed Goslin to play in enough games to win the title. From the first game of the season until the last few weeks, Goslin, with a dead arm, couldn't throw the ball 10 yards, and the inflelders had to go out, take the ball and throw it In whenever it was hit to Goslin's field.

It never has been made known what happened to the Goose's arm, U. It .1 Um IJ. runs. The record oi Manush was perhaps more impressive because he was in 154 games, making 241 hits )n 638 times up and he had 47 doubles. 20 Dunmore Continues Good Work, By Defeating Wilkes Barre triples and 13 homers.

Gehrig fell back a bit In the closing days but the two outfielders were going strong at the finish. The final figures showed: Goslin, Manush, Gehrig, .374. Unofficial averages published from day to day during the season and after it closed varied. Some had Goslin in front, others gave the palm to Manush. Not since 1910 has there been'such a furious struggle for batting supremacy in the American league.

Eighteen years ago Ty Cobb won the honor with an average of .385, with Napoleon Le Joie a hair's breath beh.d, with .384. Goslin was out of the game for a time with a bad throwing arm and played in many 'games when he could not toss the 'sail back to the infield from his position but he played 135 of the 154 games. Manush and Gehrig played the full schedule. Goslin and Manush opposed each other In the final series of the season and both batted well, although Washington pitchers were "bearing down" on Manush and St. Louis moundsmen were putting all they had on the ball in an effort to stop the "goose" and give the batting lead to their teammate.

Goslin's .379 marked the first time this figure has lead the American league. The batting leadership has gone to players who averages ranged from .324 by Ty Cobb in 1908, to .420 shared by Cobb in 1911 and George Sisler in 1922. Manush In 1926 led the league with .377, a point under his 1928 mark. Babe Ruth led in 1924 with .378. To pile up the winning average, Goslin made 173 hits in 458 times at bat.

Among the safeties were 36 doubles, ten batted .296, and the Athletics .295. 15,000 See Yankees Shires, C. Chicago Lazaeri, Anthony New York Miller, Edmund.

The Hoboken lads were a good match for the Druck coached ma chine.and at all times gave the local "wonder workers" plenty to worry about. They led on several occasions in the first half, but a rally during the closing stages of the initial session gave the locals a four point edge. In the second half, the Scrantonians.

started out strong, getting in six points before the visitors could tally. This proved a big help, as the final score demonstrated. Acting Coach Sam Suravitz, who handled the squad in the absence of Coach Druck, sent in every one of the nine men who comprise the personnel of the aggregation. Captain Pete Rose and George Levy led in the scoring, each getting a total of 11 points. Sam Shair was next in line on the offense, getting 7 points.
