record for the major leagues is al-
most a certain tiling thiai season.
Fact is. that nothing short of an
earthquake can prevent its estab-
-lishmcnt. ' I
With the campaign a. little more
than passed the half-way mark
over 700 circuit drives have been
made in the two big loops. And in-
asmuch as the present re'oord
stands at 1.0“ only a few more
than 300 additional homers are
needed in the rest of the 1925 sea-
son to shatter the major league
mark hung up by'the New Iork
Yankees in 1921.
Thus. if the sluggers in the Am-
erican and National can pound out
slightly more than half as many

tour pliers from now until the end
of the season than they did iOthe

When the present mark was
made four years ago, the older
league turned in 530 home runs,
the younger 524. That. was the
"campaign in which Babe Ruth ac-
complished the unbelievable by
hanging out 59 four-buggers across
a season's stretch. ,
That year the Phillies complied
116 homers. the club record to date.
At the hilfway point this season.
the Giants were showing thcir
heels to the rest of the crowd with
77. If they adhere to the pace set
in the initial 75 tilts they should ex-
cel the Philly performance by a
margin.
Statistics show that there was a
decided drop in the home run col-
umn in 1924, a total of 888 being

accrued. In 1923. 979 homcrs were
made.
This year. however. the swat-

smlths. as mentioned. are massag-
ing the agate with more vehemencn
than ever in the history of baseball
and unless the dope is all wrong a
new major league record will be

Modern Champion

WAS TODD T0

Most of Jake Kilrnin‘s battles
were fought under the London prize

ring rules, which called for barn
knuckles. A majority of theta were
to a finish. ‘

Bare knuoklcs and to a finish.
sounds it heap sight different from
the iii-round. uo-decislon affairs, so
popular these days.
I wondered if the fighters of the.
old days were super-mun, imperiioips
punishment and wuh seemingly
0 end of endurance. I asked Kilriiin
for an explanation.
"Physically there is no
difference between the mu-
dern fighters and those of my days.
However. the old timers fought be-
cause of a certain pride they took
in their work. Now the light gum.
is purely a business proposition.
"fit my time a champion was al-
ways willing to defend his
against any luglcul contender and
he didn't quibble over the purse.
"The modern champion once he
acquires the title, apparently dc.
cldes to do 'as little fighting and as
much fourflushing as possible. He
becomes a financier instead of a
lighter.
"Those champs who insist on no-
dcclsion affairs and all the money
in‘tlie world for a bout that means
nothing as far as the title is con-
cerned. make me sick. ‘
‘If the public would give 'em the
cold shoulder by failing to attend
these burlesqucs on fighting. it
woul‘d do the ring game a lot of

good. The public is too kind to.
these cake-eating fighters."
“Fighting to a finish isn't as

tough a Job as it sounds. A major-
ity of finish lights have ended under
30. rounds. It isn't any more diffi-
cult to train for a finish bout than
for a 20-round affair.

"The old-time battles were a bit
harder because bare knuckles were
used instead of gloves. Hortever. a
four-ounce glove isn't so much dill
ferent from the bare knuckles. n
is just as easy to knock a. man out.
"Modern Iflghters are just as
strong as the old timers. Endur-
ance is largely a matter of training.
The modern lighter fits himself ac-
cording to the length of the bout.
