Many High Spots Recorded in Major Leagues for 1921 Old i has the baseball crown all shlncd up, but he doesn't know whether to stick it on one ot the stars in the American League or a National League ace for services rendered during the season of 1821.

Roger Hornsby ought to get the first peep at it for being the sweetest swatsman of either league, topping the averages with .398. This is the highest batting percentage reached since 18S9, when Delahanty, of the Phillies, led the league with 108. But Ty Cobb, the "Georgia Peach, steps into Hornbby's shadow, demanding recognition and deserving to be marked at the top of all the greats. For Cobb has just pulled through 1 is sixteenth complete aoason with the Tygers, anfl finished with marker of .330. His pupil, Harry Hellmann, topped him by .0003 of a point for the American League hitine record the first time a right-hander ever beat Cobb, who copped the batting honors in Ban Johnson's league 11 times in 14 years.

FRISCH LEADS THEFTS Frank Frisch of the Giants dusted down the path with 54 stolen bases, and George bisler led the American League wit! Si. "Sis" was the only man to steal four bags In a single game. Georp- also got 10 hits in 10 consecutive trips to the plate, a record for the season. To Hornsby will go the ribbon for smacking out doubles and triples In the N.itional League. He got 4,1 doubles and 18 triples, while Trls Speaker of the Indians topped him for doubles In the American League by popping out 51.

Dave Bancroft of the Giants gets June 1 he cracked out a single, double, triple a home run in four trips to the plate. WHAT KELLY DID. George Kelly, alto of McGravv's squad, dirt on three occasions the stunt that every plascr longs to duplicate and that tin; bebt of them failed to do in 1021 he slammed out i home runs at three i times with the bases full, all in a single season. Four i i plays were manufactured in the American League and in the National League five were executed i steals were made, one by "Washington and the other by the St. Louis Browns.

Twenty-seven shutouts were recorded dunng- the 5 ear in the Xa- tional. Pittsburgh got the white- 14 times, i the White Sox registered 16 ciphcis at the end of their score Carl Mays of the Yankees is the 1S21 pitching ace, although Red Faber of the i Sox tied i him In victories, each having 11.
