Pitcher named Riffle, with the

..The weekly batting average fur
: nishes some interesting slants on
i the American league race. Out of
some eighteen or nineteen players
:' who : have played fairly regularly
to date and who have held up a
batting average of .310 or better
five of them can be reckoned as
newcomers. '
; These five men are Ben Paschal
of the Yankees. Al Simmons of the
Athletics, Earl Combs of the Yanks,
.Gordon Cochrane of the Athletics
and Ernest Vache of the Red Sox.
Three of these men were with
the teams named before this year.
Cochrane and Vache made their
debuts this last spring. The three
who preceded them, however, re- i
celved their first real chance with
the beginning of the present cam
paign. 'Which puts them about In
the same category.
Simmons was sent away by Con
lie last year for more seasoning.
When he was recalled there was
etill a sneaking suspicion that he
might not stand the gaff because
of bis freak hitting style. One
can't be a bloomer and hold to a
. .350 average and better past Decor
ation day.
Combs was handicapped last year
by a wealth of outfleldlng material
In the Yank bailiwick and by ad-
ranee press notices. He realized
last spring that his future rested
entirely with his playing and not
. with these press notices. The Ill
ness of Ruth gave him his chance
. to bring his light out from under, a
bushel.
Paschal, once an Indian,- was
.brought up from the Southern as
sociation last year with the rep of
being a terrific clouter. He re
ceived his first real chance to dem
onstrate his ability when assigned
to Ruth's place In the Yank out
field. How he not only fielded well
and batted consistently but tried to
emulate Ruth as a home run hitter
l Is well known.
Cochrane came out of the Pacific
Coast league at a time when the
' big league bosses and general pub
lic were losing faith in the "pne
noms" of the Sunset section teams.
He Joined n team that bad one of
the game's best catchers based on
' early performances ready to go
.again., Cochrane nonchalantly staov-
ed that ' man, Cy Perkins, on the
. bench and proceeded to demand
( his place In the backstopping sun.
- The fifth man, Ernest - - Vache,
with the Boston Red Sox, Joined the
team last spring from the Dallas,
Texas club, with little noise, as
compared to 'the fan flare accom
panying the arrival of some re
cruits to the big show. Sent into
the ontfleld by Lee Fohl, Vache
proceeded to slam the old pill at a
merry pace. - . - -
There may ' or may not be a
warning for some of the old
codgers in the showing of these
young men. Slsler, Cobb, Speaker,
Heilmann and the other standbys
still hold their places among the
leading hitters. But the names of
these youngsters are beginning to
stand out in bolder type In the
weekly reports.

NEW YORK, June 9. (United
News) Eddie Kane, manager of
Tommy Gibbons, doesn't care enough
about money to bustle up another
match between Gibbons and - Gene
Tunney, In which Gibbons might be
hurt. On his getaway from Chicago
today, after clearing up the business
of laAl week's bout between the two
pugilistic examplars of perfect be
havior, Kane said he had advised
Tom to retire.
"Tom would like to fight Tunney
again, beat him. and then retire in
good order," Kane said, "but If

quit now. He made a great record
and he went out clean. He's well
