Srs RUTH IS HITTER Hike Donlin Hands Babe the f SWat Honors. k- By SIB MERCTB. (Written for International Xews Service.) NEW YORK, June 11.—Among those present- ■when Georg's Herman Ruth emitted his recent home runs at the Polo grounds was Michael Angelo Donlin, a famous socker of bygone days. “Turkey Mike’s” appearance at ball games are infrequent now. He Is a very successful Thespian. “I’m just an outsider looking In new,” said Donlin, “but I stin„love a hail game and I came out to see Roth ’kiss’ one. I’ll say the Babe is accommodating.” We know of no one better qualified to discuss the art and science of batting more learnedly or interestingly than Mike. He could hit a few himself. ICE’B GOT THE Pr\CH, SAYS MTKE. “I’ll tell the world fair that this bird gets more Into a punch than anybody I ever saw," declared Donlin after Ruth walked up and hit on? Into, the stands off Dutch Leonard. “And remember- that I was around when Lajole, Delehanty. Wagner and those other smackers were good. P seemed to me that no more than seconds elapsed between the time that Babe leaned on the ball until It caromed off a sent In the stands. I don’t believe I ever saw a hatted hall travel more swiftly. I’m ready to believe anything now) even a booking agent. “I never thought there would be a ball batted Into those renterfleld bleachers, but I expect to hear of Ruth doing it any day. In fact, be might have cleared any fence in the park with that hit today. Did you notice that It was still rising when It struck? “I have a goqd reason for pulling for the Yanks to get somewhere this season. You know I sort of raised Sam Vick and Muddy Ruel for this. team when I managed the Memphis clnb. I still think that Vick is one of the best hitters I ever saw and I understand that he has made a big Improvement in bis fielding. Ruel Is a snappy catcher and hits nicely at the ball. lie tells me he is putting on more weight, so I expect to hear good reports on his hitting when he fully matures. I like that kid at third base, too. GIVE THE MOB THE BASE HIT. “The Yankees may not be a wonderful team, but thev rlay interesting ball. Give the mob the old base hit and they’ll overlook a lot of shortcomings.” Before the game Donlin mitted Ty Cob and inquired About the health of Tv’s batting average. “It’s very poor,” declared Cobb. -‘I

BOSTON SIZES UP GEORGES

BOSTON*, June 11.—Here Is the way Georges Carpentier looked to some, of Boston’s lealir.g sporting men and Posers when the French champion gave an exhibition here: Eddie Msck—Carpentler has everything. He looks a real champion. He could beat Dempsey sure If the bout lasted more than six rounds. Detnrusey ' as won all of his big matches quickly. Carpentler, on the other baud, has proved he can go the distance. / Johnny Wilson. World’s Mlddlewe'ght Champion—The Frenchman looks like a lady’s man. He shapes up more like ■o actor than a fighrer. I could beak him. ” • ~ Phil Power (Young Donahue) —Carpentler hits.’like another Langford. His , hook is a beauty. There is no lost motion In his blows. He has a wonderful pair of legs and long powerful arms, lie's the real thing In the fighting line. Paul Doyle—Can Carpentler take a punch? He Is sure to hit his sparring partner with all kinds of blows, but ought to be moving faster than I nm. What do you suppose is wrong with me?” __ “I'll take a look." said Mike, “and maybe I can tip you off.” Cobb did not get his hit until the fifth inning and then it was a doubtful slam which Peeklnpaugh straddled. In the seventh TJ came up with a runner on. ’•One trouble with Cobb is that he is all tied up,” criticised Mike as crouched at the plate! “A batter who doesn't relax handicaps himself, because he isn’t able to make quick shifts. Whon Cobb is ih his stride he has an easy stand and doesn’t appear auxioua. Look at him now. He's got an awful gri(ron his bat and he's crowding the plate. Wait until the hot weather thaws that baby out and notice the difference in him up there.” Des Moines l,ands Two • Golfers in Semi-Finals ROCK ISLAND, 111., June U.—Clarence L. Wolff of St. Louis Harlow Hurley of Topeka and Robert McKee and Francis Dickenson, both of Des Moines, Thursday won thrir way to the semi-finals In the Transmississlppi Golf association tournament. Thursday's match play at thirty-six holes resulted as follows: Wolff defeated Ralph Rider of Des Moines. 11 and 9; Hurley defeated H. YanEvery of Minneapolis. 4 and 3; McKee defeated G. Decker of Davenport, 2 and 1, and Dickinson defeated H. R. Johnston of St. Paul, 3 and 1. Two" THEFT? OF HOME. In the Tulsa-Joplin game of May 25 two steals of home were made. One by Connolly tied the count, the other by Burke put over the winning run for Tulsa.

that doesn't man much. I have seen more wonderful boxers In the gymnasium who were not worth much- in tile ring. Perhaps Carpentler- would wilt if lilt with one of Dempsey’s- right-hand smashes. Roland D. Sawyer—Carpeutlcr should meet a good second rater before he attempts fighting Dempsey. Personally, though, 1 believe Harry Wills .can de feat both Carpentler and Dempsey. Befiny Murphy—Carpentier lias the left of a Joe Jeannette right of a Willie Lewis. I saw Carpentler knock •leannette down for the count of nine in a Paris ring long ago. Carpentler was a boy. while Jeannette was one of the world’s greatest fighters. Dempsey will be mighty fortunate if he avoids defeat at, the hands of tho Frenchman.

Ping Bodie Right There With the Handshake for Old Friend Hi Johnson

Hiram Johnson, one of tho candidate# for tlia republican nomination for president, is a great baseball fan; In f3ct, about the most rabid fan ip public life. When Mr. Johnson was governor of California he used to close up the whole Btatehouse In Sacramento so everybody could go tp tho ball game. One of his great admirers In those days was Ping Bodie, a fellow citizen of California. . , Recently Senator Johnson had a meeting in New York and Ping was there to hear him speak, right down in front. When Senator Johnson came upon the

stage, Ping Bodie was up there, among the first to greet hint. Johnson recognized Ping aid exclaimed : “Well, well, Ping, I’m glad to see you. I misand you last summer, but I’ll be around to see you play this year If you get in the game and you must, for you are too good a ball player to be out.” Ping grew chesty, but a delegation of “big men” crowded him away. But Ping was right back. He had grabbed Mrs. Bodie and swung her forward, aud reaching through the crowd, he tapped Johnson on tho shoulder and shouted:

THE UNIVERSAL CAR - . ■■■.■■■ ■■ 'T- 1 V- \ • X The Ford car can well be called the People’s Car, because there are more than 3,000,000 of them in daily operation. That is about seven to one to the nearest follower in the motor car industry. This would not be so if the Ford car had not for sixteen years proven its superiority in service, in durability, and in the low cost for operation and maintenance; this would not be so if the Ford car was not so easy to understand, eo simple in construction that anybody and everybody can safely drive it. It is everybody’s necessity because it doubles the va.ue of time, and is the quick, convenient, comfortable, and economical method of transportation. . Leave your order with any one of the dealers listed below.

“Hey, Hiram, I want you to meet my wife." * Senator Johnson bowed and shook hands. “Where do you get that Hiram stuff?” somebody asked Bodie.

1 MAKE Men’s Suits * to* order for less than ready-made suits can be bought at retail . And why shouldn’t I? I doubt if I pay a penny more for my woolen3 than do the eastern shops that make ready-made clothes. The wage scale in the east is higher than’here in Indianapolis. I haven’t a lot of $5,000 to $10,00(1 traveling men as have the big manufacturing clothiers. Neither have Ia Jot of high salaried officers to pay flora horde of stockholders crying for frequent dividends. ' ’ * And the retailer’s 25 per cent overhead to contend with. * Why shouldn’t I be able to make a first-class suit of clothes for less than you can buy hand-me-downs? I can and do. Try me on a summer suit for now, or let me make*you a fall suit for later delivery. ’ — * V . Men’s _ A PSPIPIP: Made-to <* up Measure m ® to Suits
