any lawn tennis expert would have
' said that William Tilden's game had

But having watched the champ

accomplished this apparently insup-
‘ ”able feat.
His game when he really set out
[to play for all he was worth had
been amazing but now the spectator
who observes the easy, flitting grace
with which he comb hes the veriest
abandon in hitting with utter accur-
pry is actually dazed.

begin to desert clay for turf but. he
won't fool the wise acres of the game

Jack Dempsey. heavyweight
champion of the world, won that
title by cutting down the biggest
man of the white hope days—Jess
Willard. Dempsey, weighing 189
pounds himself. seemed like a small
boy before the Goliath from Law-
rence. Kan. . Willard weighed 246
pounds. The difference. then, was
a matter of over 50 pounds.
Dempsey literally whittled
lard down to his size. He crumpled
the mammoth hulk with a. nerve
deadening punch Just below the
heart. and then as Willard bent.
struck up at his face.
The victory over Willard brought
the title back to a normal type of
heavy.
Recalling L‘lmymkie and Fill.
But. judging from the size of the
then now in the front ranks of the
heavyweight division and scrum-
bling for the coveted chance to
meet Dempsey for his crown. the
man who whips him will be small-

weight who. at seventeen, was a real
championship contender.
The writer remembers him when
he was twenty. a keen faced. dark-
eyed, bright young lad. who nonethe-
less. had absorbed the punches of a
veteran, who had fought the best
in the coluntry and had failed of the
title because he had been brought
along too fast.

ing scvcntecn-year-old Jimmy Mc-

that befell Hanlon.
The Belfast boy—he was really
born on the Old Sod. a few miles
from the famous Irish city—ls just
five months over the seventeen mark.
Already he has been pitted against
the toughest fighters that could be
dug up in the West. and only a few
weeks ago he was called upon to face
that ropgh Texan. Bud Taylor. Tay.
lor won the decision, but Mac gave
him a. hard fight. particularly in the
early rounds.
Now he is to face the rip- snorting
Villa. Is he ripe for this test? Many
good judges think not. An accurate
appraisal of McLarnln at the pre-
sent time. places him as superlative-
ly clever and a fairly hard puuchcr.
What he chiefly lacks is the stem-
ina of mature growth. He starts
well against the best of them. and

five rounds. when the other man be-
gins to get to him.

NEW YORK. Juno
Hornsby is a ten to one shot to lead
the National League in batting this
season and if he keeps up his ter-
rific hitting he may even beat the
league record of 438 made by Hugh
Duffy of the old Bostons.
In the week that has Just passed
Hornsby has climbed above the 420
grade, almost to 430 .and he shows
no sign of slowing up.
Duffy‘s mark would be a great
achievement and ltogers. weighted
down by managerial cares. probably
will not make it but at least he is
likely to get into the select 400 class.
The mark made by Duffy is not
the best ever made in baseball. Tip
O'Neill once held a record of 492 in
the Association but that was in the
year when bases on balls were count.
ed as base hits. So Duffy's record for
actual base hits really is the best.
There is not a right hand better in
either league who is so capable of
beating Duffy‘ a mark as Hornsby
and the chap who runs closest to him
is Harry Hellmsnn of Detroit. lf
Hornsby can maintain his ratio of
progress for the next six weeks he
should be hitting about 435 by then.
Hornsby is not a showy hall play-
er and never will be. He doesn't
swing like Babe Ruth and he is
never likely to make a Ruthiaa home
run record. But he will play ball
much longer than Ruth and he will
prove to be more valuable to his
team in the long run.
The movements and general action
of Hornsby are similar to those of
Lajoie and Delehanty. He does things
so easily it is hard to understand
how he does them.
Some fans used to think that Le.-
jole was lazy. He moved over the
ground so gracefully, cutting off hits
which ordinary fielders could not
reach ’.and did it with such an easy
careless motion that he gave the im-
pression of laziness.
Delehanty was much the same
type, Del would swing at a ball at
times with such an indifferent sort of
a slam that it appeared to the nov-
ice that he did not care whether
school kept or not. But likely as not
that indifferent gesture would result
in his knocking the ball out of the
park.
Hornsby makes no false motions
in batting or in fielding. He played
good ball for Rickey all the time. in
spite of reports that he did not al-
ways give Blckey his best. But Ric-
key was constantly being outgusssed
by rival managers. The fact that
Hornsby was batting around .400 all
the time should be luncient answer

Two days ago an airplane flying

and 89.723 canes, they had no air-
plane propellers.
P. S.-—~A paper just brought in
says the propeller fell in a freight
yard almost killing a workman. The
man couldn't read and so knew
nothing of the excitement. He took
the propeller home to be used for
kindling wood. and it was only

from school that he learned that

Tho semi-final, another tcn-round- .

is reported as a polished boxer and
a slugger. He intends to give the
Sheik a mean evening of action, but
the Sheik has his eye set on break

A bout that should produce a.

Sailor Andre of Hartford. Both are"
punchers and it should result into a v ’3

When Slim Barriss. elongated
pitcher of the Athletics, reported to
Connie Mack in the south last spring
he announced his determination to
climb out of the class of in and out-
ers and become a. winning hurler for,
a. whole season. Harrlss said nothing
about his batting. The least said.-
nbout that the better. One doesn't
discuss one ‘s hitting when one' 3 av-
erage is the size of his hat.

others.
He got the hits off the wise old
southpaw. Sherry Smith. ‘
Which makes the year about com-
plete for Mr. Harries. Many a pitcher
goes a. year on three hits.

Those who try to say that the
baseball being used in the big lea-
gues this season is no livlier than at ‘
any time since the discussion as to
changes in it started, must. produce
evidence to refute the facts.
Over 600 home runs have been
slammed out in the big leagues IO'
far this season. Last year the total
for the whole campaign was 303.:
Pliching seems to be better. getter. '
ally speaking .than it has been in re- .
cent years. Most'usuredly it has not :;
been so much weaker that the sing-J
gers have been able. in the first half'
of the season .to collect close tel
twice as many circuit clouts as they ‘
slammed out in the entire campaign
of 1024.
No less a. baseball student then
Zach Wheat. a new Brooklyn man-
ager and veteran of sonic fourteen
campaigns in big time save he is
positive the ball is livelier. .
The odd part of it is that the pow-
ers that be in baseball are sitting
tight and saying nary a, word pro, or
9011 about the matter. .
