Indians HoI' In Own League In I954 Season By BEN OLAN NEW YORK, (AP) - Cleveland Indians may not have been able to do anything with New York Giants in the world series, but they were a hot-shot outfit in their own league during the regular 1954 sea- son. Bobby Avila, the Indians' sprightly second baseman, won the American League batting cham- pionship. Outflelder Larry Doby led in homers and runs batted in and Cleveland finished on top in team home runs. This was shown today with the release of the ofiflclal league av- eragcs. Avila's .341 average made him the sixth Cleveland player to cap- ture the batting crown. Nap La- joic did it twice 1903 and 1904 and he was followed by Elmer Flick 1905. Tris Speaker 1916. Lou Fonseca 1929 and Lou Bou- dreau 1944. Doby copped the home run and RBI titles by narrow margins. He blasted 32 circuit blows, three more than Ted Williams of Boston. And his 126 runs batted in was only one more than the total com- piled by Yogi Berra of New York Yankees. The Indians hit 156 homers. The Yankees ivere next with 133. MINOSO RUNNER-UP Minnie Minoso of Chicago White Sox was second to Avila in the batting race with a .320 mark. Nellie Fox of the White Sox and Irv Noi'exi of New York were dead- locked for third at .319 and Berra was fifth with .307. All told, 11 players-one more than in 1953-finished with marks of .300 or better. This total does not include the Red Sox's Williams, who hit. 345. but went to bat fewer than the required 400 times. Ted had 386 official at bats. Chicago's Fox and Harvey Kuenn of Detroit tied for the most hits. with 201 apiece. Jackie Jensen or ST. PETEIPS HIGH SCHOOL November Report: Principal's Department 1.
