Something Else to Investigate —Babe Ruth and His New-Fangled Bludgeon * ' -

THEY DO SAY BAMBINO • IS USING STRANGE BAT It's a ‘Quadrebuilt' Weapon Invented by Sam Crawford and May Prove ‘Nother Case for Landis, By VEA Service CLEVELAND, July 17.—Babe Ruth is sure the original cuss. When the Babe isn’t busy making home runs he is pulling something that will keep Judge Landis and Ban Johnson interested.

In 1921 Ruth mad© fifty-nine home runs. The lively ball in use was regarded as the big reason for the Babe’s remarkable feat. If the Babe should come through this year with a goodly share of circuit-drives, in all probability an investigation of the bat he uses will be demanded. Well, He Hit ’Em Before On July 2 Ruth started to use a bat thne like of which never has been seen in the baseball world. Since that date Ruth has been on a swat spree that greatly has increased his home run record. Rule IB of the playing code says that the bat used in baseball must be round, not over two and threefourths inches in diameter at the thickest part, nor more than fortytwo inches in length and be entirely of hard wood. The bat that Ruth is now using with such great success is all that the rule says and then some. Instead of being turned out of one piece of wood, the bat is made of four distinct fctions, which are glued together. Old Sam’s Idea This unusual bat is said to be the outgrowth of an idea advanced by Sam Crawford, in his day one of the greatest batsmen in the game. With the ordinary bat there are always parts of the wood that are weak because of the grain. Crawford’s idea does away entirely with any weakness in the bat. The bat is constructed of four sections of the very best selected woods, so that it is uniform throughoqt. It is known as the “Qiiadrebuilt bat.” and the assertion is made that it is many times stronger than the one-piece affair. Has Ruth the right to use such a bat? Does such a bat conform to the rules of baseball? Is glue to be regarded as a foreign substance? It may be necessary for Ban Johnson, Judge Landis and the other high powers of baseball to pass on this question. In all probability before man* weeks have passed the bat ’ will be as widely discussed as the “shine ball,” the “emery ball” and other widely known tricks of the trade.

DEMPSEY WANTS HALF OF GATE IN ALL TITLE BOUTS Wills, Firpo, Gibbons, Greb Mentioned —Not Wild About Buenos Aires, By HENRY' FARRELL United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK. July 17.—1n need of a few good bouts for the firm’s pocketbook, Jack Kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey, said today the champion was going to fight three times before the end of the year. Harry Wills, Luis Firpo and either Tommy Gibbons or Harry Greb are the fill-ins Kearns is trying to get on his books. Tex Rickard's proposition to put Dempsey and Firpo in the ring in Buenos Aires in November doesn't appeal to Kearns as much as a fight in this country. He also doesn’t want to wait that long. Seeks I,abor Day Scrap “Dempsey and I have decided to get a date for Labor Day and we are going to get it. If New York pro moters can't stir up something, we’ll go out to the Middle West and meet Gibbons or Greb.” Kearns said. The champion's manager admitted h* couldn't get a great purse outside of New Y'ork. but he said they would work for what they could get. After a conference with Rickard Monday Kearns said If Dempsey worked in New York against Wills. o r Firpo, the champion would demand 60 per cent of the gate. He contends that a champion Is worth that much. SBOO,OOO Gate Tex Rickard says he is ready to stage the Dempsey-Firpo fight in South America and that he has been assured that the gate will go over SBOO,OOO. Kearns says he would go to South America if the fight were not possible in the United States. Asked if he thought that the people down there might be hostile to Dempsey, he replied: “Couldn't be no more hostile than they were in Shelby.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

TRIBESMEN OPEN STRONG ON VISIT TO CHAMP’S PARK One More Win and Indians Will Be Sure of Even Break at Least, By Times Special ST. PAUL, July 17.—The Indians' visit to the Northwest started in glowing manner Monday and the Hendricksmen were hopeful today of keeping the win charm burning. Second contest of the series with the league leaders was on this afternoon and if the Tribesmen were able to lepeat they can’t be beaten out of an even break while in th-3 camp of the Saints. Breaking out in the third inning Monday. the Hoosiers slammed Napier's offeiTigs to several corners of Lexington Park and scored five runs. They didn’t add to the total thereafter, but five markers proved sufficient because Gus Bono was having one of his good days on the Tribe mound and the A. A. champions were able to collect only two runs. Old Gus pitched excellent hall, and he was not found for a run until the eighth Inning. The Saints scored again in the ninth, making their total two, and there Gus checked ’em, the final count being 5 to 2, Indianapolis. The Tribesmen launched a powerful attack In the third stanza and five hard blows were good for as many runs. Ernie Krueger was up to the plate In that session with two mates aboard, but Napier was advised by his mates that Krueger hits a long ball to left field and the Tribe catcher was given a free ticket to first rather than take a chance on him bouncing one off of the skating rink. A hit by Ernie wasn't needed, however, because he scored eventually on Campbell’s drive. K. C. Blues pained a full game in the Association race by defeating Cos lumbus while the Indians were downing the Saints Monday. Brewers and Hens engaged in a wild affair Monday, the Brewers win nlng.

ELI LILLY STAR ISJNELIGIBLE Plummer, Under Contract, Out of Saturday Ball, There were discussions and then some more discussions In the amateur baseball meeting held Monday night at the city hall and it was getting along toward midnight before every one had h*R his say. One of the most Important points decided was the case of Earl .Plummer, star pitcher of the Ell IJlIy team. Plummer is under contract with Moline, 111., In the Thra©-I loop. Last Saturday he pitched for Eli Lilly against the Prest-O-IJte club In the Commercial league and ,won. The Preston protested on the ground that Plummer was ineligible. The protest was allowed Monday night. There was much sentiment in favor of the big twlrler as he has been trying to get his release from Moline, but has been unsuccessful. The local association rules, however, definitely state that no player under league contract Is eligible for competition. The disputed game will be played over. Further plans for the St.. Louis trip for post-season contests were discussed and a committee named to raise funds for railway fare. Other expenses of the trip while In St. Louis will be taken care of by the St. Louis organization.

FOHL IS SLATED TO MANAGE RED SOX NEXT VEAR Reports State New Boston Owners Will Take Brown Leader to Beantown, By SEA Service BOSTON. Mass., June 17. —It is almost an assured fact that Lee Fohl. present manager of the St. Louis Browns, will handle the Boston Red Sox next season. Frank Chance’s contract is a one year affair. While Chance has done wonders with a ball club that is more or less a minor league affair, it is practically certain that he will retire at the close of the season. Protege of Quinn. Lee Fohl is in a way a protege of Bob Quinn, the new president of the Boston club. There is hardiy a doubt hut that Quinn will take Fohl to Boston. Already from St. Louis has come the report that Sisler is to succeed Fohl as leader of the Browns. When Quinn was business manager of the Columbus team of the-Ameri-can Association, that club had a minor league farm at Akron. Quinn started Fohl In the managerial game

Fohl's ability as a manager has never been quite appreciated. He always has his team up in the raoe. There is nothing flashy about him, however, and he never has been press agented from the house tops as less capable leaders have. Asa result Fohl is seldom in the limelight. Nevertheless, his system of managing a club has always met with success and it's the games won that count in baseball. JOE BUSH IS INJURED Star Yankee Pitcher Out Indefinitely With Broken Finger.
