New York, Sept. 4.
Cecil Travis of the Washington Senators climbed to the top of the batting parade last week through Fri day with an average of.348, ofücial statistics revealed today. Jimmy Foxx, chubby Boston Red Sox first baseman and leader the previous week, dropped to fourth place, being overtaken by both Earl Averill, Cleveland star, and Ernie Lombardi, who squats behind the plate for the Sioux.
Foxx, however, continued to lead in the matter of runs batted in with 130 to his credit, while Joe Dimaggio barely shook off the challenge of his club-mate, Bob Rofle, to be first in the number of runs. Joe poked out 113 until last Friday.
