‘John Patrick Kilbane was the
other old champion I talked with.
John was one of the greet feather-

ring. He had as prcity a one-two
punch as I ever looked at. as pretty
as Willie Lewis' ever was. and
Willie's was supposed to be the
daddy of them all.
Kilbane quit the ring In 19:31 and
stayed away until 1923. when he
came back to defend the title against
Eugene Criqui. t h e steel-jawed
Frenchman. Kilbane was knocked
out In the sixth round. A wild. over-
head right—a sucker punch—caught
him on the law and he went down.
Kiibane didn‘t seem to be badly
hurt. At six he began to get up. At
eight he had regained his feet. And
then his-ankles and knees were seen
'to turn Inward and when they did he
collapsed In a heap and was counted

slumps in Baseball.
Slumps In baseball batting In
particular. either by the individual
or team. are simply a part of the
game. There is really no way to
satisfactorily explain them.
Recently in discussing the secrets
of his great success as a batsman.
Ty Cobb remarked to me:
"No matter how badly things are
breaking for me at tho but, I make
it a point to stick to my original
style and l'mako a special effort to
kccp from pressing.
“When base hits are hard to get
it is customary for most batters to
press. In other words, they either
swing harder or commit some other
fault that tends to handicap rather
than help them
“The grcaicst danger whcn in a
boiling slump is to suing blindly
and try to get more power than
usual. In the hope that the ball will

O O ‘
Herder for Slugger.
it is a harder task for a slugger
to keep from pressing than a play-
er who is a choke batsman.
Tho slugger takes a healthy
swing. When In a slump he is In-
clined to swing all the liardcr. A
mistake. of course.
For that reason the hard hitting
batsman is almost certain to remain
in a batting slump longer than a
player who chops at the ball. just
meeting it. rather than the athlete
who tries in knock each and every
pitch out of the ball park.
The slugger seldom hunts and as
a rule doesn’t wait out the pitcher
to any great extent.
These are two mediums that can
be employed to great advantage in

Case of Simmons.
The comment of Cobb on baiting
was most interesting. it was easy
for me to see the logic of his siste-
mente.
One of the disappointments of the
year at the bat has been Al Sim-
mons of the Athletics. The outstand-
ing figure among the recruits last
season. his batting average has
shrunk considerably.
I looked for Simmons to battle
the leading hitters of the American
League for the batting champion-
ship this year. after being I run-
ner-Up last season.
While Simmons has an unortho-
dox style at the plate. he gets much
power back of his swing and is one
of the really great hitters, regard-
less of the 1926 averages.
O O I
Cross film Up.
In a recent series in St. Louis. in
which Simmons failed to get the
ball safe more than a couple of
times, he remarked‘ to me:
"Everything I seem to do this
year ,is wrong. .Last sasson.every-
thing I attempted seemed to break
in mv favor.
"This year if I decide to swing at
the first one it Is Invariably a bad
ball. If I decide to 'take' it. the
hall is usually right over the heart
of the plate. ' '
."l am constantly crossed up. In-
stead of picking my ball as I do
“hen I am hitting them on the nose
l'm sninging wildly. "'
Simmons realizes he is presslnz
but his batting style is such that It
is mogi difficult to overcome the
fault.
