New York, Sept. 26.

The Major Leagues crowned two first-time batting champions today but bid farewell to a four-time king who ranked among the greatest of them all.

Wondrous Willie Mays of the New York Giants won his three-way battle with teammate Don Mueller and Brooklyn's Duke Snider to take the National League title with a .345 mark while second-baseman Bobby Avila of the Cleveland Indians took the American League crown with a .341 average.

BELCIANS BEAT WORLD CUP WINNER 2-0

Brussels, Sept. 26.

Belgium, showing much more Initiative in attack, beat Germany, holders of the World Cup, by 2-0 în an International soccer match here today. Germany showed lack of 'cohesion in the forward Une and uncertainty in defence.

The Belgians, who led 1-0 at half-time, were nearly always on the attack. The lively forward line with the experienced centre-forward, Coppens," a constant threat, often found plenty of time to shoot as Grman defenders stood still. But at the other end, the Gorman forwards wore inaccurate and in the second half indulged in long wild shooting.
