Would the Captains please fill out their sheets properly, add up Final Ball Games Decide Bat Champs By BEN PHLEGAR Associated Press Sports Writer Baseball in 1953 produced a pair of short-priced pennant winners and a host of long-shot individual champions. - New York Yankees and Brooklyn Dodgers clearly outclassed their opposition. The Yanks, winning a record- breaking fifth straight American League crown, led for all but nine days 'of the season, finishing 8% to improve his vision, won the league batting title with an excel- lent .344 average. A year ago he hit a weak .247. And in the American League, Mickey Vernon of Washington, whose 1946 batting crown was viewed by many as more luck than skill, jumped from .251 last season to .337, one point ahead of Al Rosen of Cleveland. It was the first time since 1946 that Vernon has hit over .330 LEADERS IN MAJOR LEAGUES By THE CANAIAN PRESS American League Vernon, Wash 608 101 205 Rosen, Cle 599 115 201 Minoso, Chi 556 104 174 .313 Goodman, Bos 514 73 161 .313 Busby, Wash 586 68 183 .312 Runs: Rosen, 115. : Runs batted in: Rosen, 145.

Take the week-end for instance: At Hamilton, American import Tex Coulter stood by helplessly be- hind the Montreal Alouettes goal- line and watched Cam Fraser, young Hamilton Tiger-Cat kicker, race in to recover his own kick for a last-minute touchdown that gave Tiger-Cats a 20-15 decision and a two-point Big Four lead. Eddie Mathews of the Braves, last year's top strikeout victim, | clouted 47 home runs. for the Na- tional League title. Rosen won both the homer and runs-batted-in crowns in the Amer- ican League. He hit 43 home runs, 15 more than last year, and drove home 145 runs. His desperate try to add the batting title failed by a single step. Needing one more hit to win, h> apparently beat out an infield hit in his last time at bat. But his last-second jump missed first base and he was out. on League is: Marg Ward, Shirley Harrison, Joanne Richardson, Jean Taylor, Edith McKee, Isobel Snud- den, Rene Jones, Lou Borrow, Edna George, Harold Snudden, John Johnston, Larry Holmes and Tony Harrison. a plenty of the othér type of bowl- ing. The Chiefs took command of the situation.by shutting out the Dynamites. Capt. Elaine Mosier led- the way with a very nice 801 (341, 262). She was ably assisted by {Jack Carr with 663 (287, 206). The Spooks also took 4 points from the Pixies but were very lucky as both teams were rather off. The "Nuts" bettered the Geo's 3 to 1 with Bert Smith carrying the load, 652 (266, 200). The Whoits were 3-1 winners also over the High Toppers. Al Haley was the big gun with 722 (245, 239, 238) for the Whoits. Ted McQuade helped also with 619 (250, 215). Janet Peel rolled 627 (237, games ahead of Cleveland Indians. Brooklyn clinched its second suc- cessive National League flag, unique in Dodger history, Sept. 12, earliest date in league history. The Dodgers ended 13 games in front of the surprising Milwaukee Braves. But the individual winners, par- ticularly the batting champions, rarely figured in pre-season calcu- lations.

Some of the clubs in the lower groups are retaining bowlers with averages which would fit them into the major group set-up, but the executive officers are not in a ' position to interfere, it would be quite easy to clear things up, if these boys would move up. The competition is much keener when the bowler is competing in a group or classification, which is operating on a more or less equal basis.
