Ruth Now Pointed for Homer Record Hung Up by Werden Babe Makes It Thirty-One on Drive to Pass Mark of Forty-Five. KITH MAKES ANOTHER. NEW YORK. July 20.—Babe Ruth lilt another home run today In the fifth inning of the first game between the Yankees and White Sox. This makes Ills thirty-second home run for the season. NEW YORK, July 20.—With two more home runs Babe Ruth, the swat sultan of the New York Y'ankees, made anew worlds major league record yesterday when he ran his season's total up to thirty-one. ‘ Plucky little Dicky Kerr, taking the chance that few pitchers take these days, grooved a rouplo for the Babe and be passed his 1919 record of twenty-nine. Beyond all doubt the murk made yesterday is it nujor league record of all time, but the Babe has yet to equal the mark of forty-five, made by Perry Worden of the Minneapolis Western league club in 3905. The pair off Kerr yesterday made fourteen out of his thirty-one off a Southpaw pitcher. It also was the third homer Kerr has contributed to the Babe's record. I'ennock of the Red Sox has also donated three to Ruth and I<efty Williams and Dauss have been hit for a pair. Other pitchers who have been hammered for a lone one by the Ralvt are: Jones. Karr and Bush of of the Red Sox; Wilkinson and Weber of the White Sox; Wellman, Shocker and Burwell of Browns; Leonard. Okrio, Oldham and Ebmke of the Tigers; Johnson, Zachary, * arlson and Snyder of Washington; Myers of Cleveland, and Bigbee and Perry of the Athletics. Ruth's first homer Monday came in the fourth inning of the second game with one man lodged on the bases. The second one came in the ninth inning without a man being on the sacks. The first one landed in the right field bleachers. Ruth still has sixty-six games to go, and if he keeps pace with the mark he has set for the first eighty-eight games he will lambast near to fifty homers for the season.

WHY I HATE TO WALK “By BABE KI TH

(From Collier's Weekly) i There I stood In the ninth Inning of j our last, game In the Washington series. crowding the plate and wagallog my pick 1 handle with the hall game on the bases and the Nationals ahead. 7 to C. Get that i situation: Ninth lnnlnc. two men out. j two men on base, and the Yankees Just one ruu behind, fighting to win their eleventh straight game. I It was my bent how** run day. * ST©t ! two In the morning game, our tenth Straight win, and a third in the earlier innings of the afternoon g.iuft-. I felt good for another, but Bill Snyder served me four consecutive wide ones that , I couldn't have reached with a boat hook. ; They were not pltehouts, really, because the catcher did not step out of his box to receive them until they had been thrown. . But Snyder waea't giving me a chance to hit and I had to walk. I might as well have been standing there with a i fathom of garden hose; my old bat was about as useful as a breeches buoy on ! the Erie canal. We lost the halt game. DIDN’T ISSUE PASSES HIMSELF. realised that Bill Snyder was only taki lng all the advantage the rules allow In order to win his game. But l used to be a pitcher myself and I never gave an Intentional pass in my life Any batter | who could hit better than I could pitch I was welcome to blast the skin off the ! ball. Experts may suggest half a dozen rules i to prevent the Intentional pass, but after i all the umpire is in the position of a I Jury, and unless It is perfectly plain that I Os course I was pretty sore, at the time. but I cooled off under the shower and i the pitcher is trying to prevent the batter from getting a bite at the hall, be has to give the pitcher the benefit of the I doubt. 1 Suppose they should adopt a rule per- | j mitttng the batter to take another turn . at bat when he is passed Intentionally | and permitting the raauager of the bat- j j ting side to name some other man, preferably a weak hitter, to take the base. | If yon could be sure that the pitcher ' was pot just plain wild, such a rule would make him pitch to all hands alike. But the umpire cannot he sure, and that is why the present rule can be evaded. Imagine standing there at the plate, feeling a home run turned in the wood of your bat, with the hall game riding ! on the sacks waiting for g blow to send j home the winning runs—and being j passed 1 i NOTHING LIKE HOMER FEELING. There is nothing finite like the home- | run feeling. Yon come up with your eye on the ball; you watch it streak up ! the lane .toward you, following the ; I "break” with your eye, if it is a curve. J You swing from way back; you feel ! the solid, satisfying smack as the bat ! gets it, square. You follow through with j Ja long, curving sweep; your shoulders i swing around, carrying the blow. If jit’s a real over the-fencer, you're going I to know it by the feel without watching I where the ball goes. Hitting a home run is about the finest sensation that I know of in sport^ I unless it be th* wonderful feel of a long, j low drive straight from the tee in golf. ! They're somewhat alike. If your baseball days are behind you i and you want to have that old home-run I thrill again, take a wide swing with your driver, follow it all the way through, shut : your eyes, aryl imagine you are hack on ■ the sand lots. If the blow is “right.” you’ll know you've put it over the fence j onto the railroad tracks, and sent the ' runners home ahead of you. Batting and golfing run parallel on ! other points, too. For Instance (you're ! batting now), if you happen to chip the , hall Just helow the center, the feel of I the blow in the bat is just a hope, not a j certainty. You know it's a high one j without much distance and you tear I | away for first, hoping someone drops j j it. Or suppose your swing is downward j instead of st raight, or you clip the ball on top—you know in that instance that, If is going to ijß the ground, probably in the infield, aid that if tt.c other side is fielding a good .game you’re through. The same situations happen in golf; you know when you've sliced before your eye catches the course of ‘he ball. There has been some talk about this veer’s baseball being a kangaroo ball, fuitßsheU with springs or something like

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, JULY 20, 1920.

This remarkable photograph shows the Resolute (on right! lending the Shamrock IV at the nine-mile post in the second of the international cup races held last Saturday. The race was called off after the time limit of six hours had been reached, the yachts having made but 22 miles. Carpentier Shows Some Ring Speed at Circle in ‘The Wonder Man’ One great boxer who left the ring for the stage has been quoted as saying "boxing Is O. K.. and so Is the stage, but boxing is better.” And that's the way Georges Carpentier, European heavyweight champion, seems to think about It, judging from his work in "The Wonder Man,” now showing at the Circle theater. There Is nothing wrong with Georges' playing In the role of a French gentleman. a detective on this side of the water to dts’over a crook who has been cheating his country out of several millions or dollars. But when he is Insulted by tjils crook and enters u club boxing tournament to get a "gentleman s revenge," lie swings Into training with evidently the same earnestness and care that lie takes while training for a real battle, and gives followers of the glove game more of an opportunity to see what sort or stuff he Is made of than he did when appearing her* In person a few weeks ago. Ills entire "training campaign" la photographed, even t.. hts road wotk, shadow box'ng, sparring, bag punching, etc., and Manager DcsChamps Is always there to Instruct him. **.irpentler shows something In these stunts. The "fight” Is a four-round affair, and while not all that It could be, here again Geo'ges has a chance to show Uls cun* nlng and cleverness. In the fourth round, be really step* some and oue could hardly tell from looking that, the two knorxcown* and the K. O. wallop are not the real goods.

that to make the hitting livelier, but I don't like to believe It. There has been a great deal of heavy hitting til's year. We have four .309 hitters on the Yankees -Meiisel. Ilodie, FVrkinpaugh and myself—and some of the other fellows have home runs to their credit, liap Fclsli of the Whit* B<‘x ha* started after a home-run record, and there is Rogers liorusby of the Cardinal*. Homo of these hotners may be due tn new restrictions on the pitchers, and, If that 1* the case, the restrictions are good for tho game, because the fans like hitting. I know, however, that a number of these hotners at the Polo Grounds would have been fouls If they hadn't gone on top of the stand. If they cross the fence on the fair side of the white line, they are hotners, but some of them strike on the foul side after they've crossed. One of my own homers did thnt. So I know. After all, the pitcher ought to depend on what he has In his head and his arm to win ball games. If the leagues did not draw the line somewhere, there's no telling what trioas would come into play to prevent the batters from hitting. As It Is, a pitcher Pith speed, curves and a head on his shoulders can fool the batters more times than they can solve him. Look at tho p.-r----ceutago columns for proof of this. Why are .300 hitters exceptional? Because tho pitcher usually has a seven to three chance or better of retiring the hatter without a hit. Sometimes I coins up to the plate ready to murder the hall. I watch It sailing up the path and lay all the way back to take a long swing. I keep my eye on tho bail and et go hard enough to knock It ont of the park. But Instead of feeling the feel of a home run 1 nearly upset myself splitting three crack* In the atmosphere and then wonder how the dickens I missed It. The fans nre going to keep the ball game straight. They nre learning what there Is to be known of Inside baseball; tliev can tell when a pitcher is giving an Intentional pass, and they will not stand for a pitcher who makes a practice of It because they like to see a hitter strike out or fly out or lilt. They pay for action aud we will have to keep our bargain with them. Hitters needn't worry so long as tho fans are on the Job with that, humiliating weapon of torture—the razxberry.
