With Billy Evans -

SHE home run epidemic continues in the major leagues. Babe Ruth is right on the heels of his 1921 performance when he set a world record with fifty-nine Circuit drives.

Recently in New York, Tony Lazzeri made three home runs in a game to j defeat the Chicago i White Sox, despite the fact that team had the same number of four-ply wallops. Six home runs in a game by two major league ball clubs is no longer considered an extraordi-

nary happening. It looks very much as if the 1,000 mark total for home runs would again be passed by the two major leagues for a season's play. With the race about one-third over, considerably better than 300 homers have already been made by the various sluggers. That there are certain definite reasons for such a condition is made certain by a persual of the major league batting averages. INTERESTING STATISTICS Df ELVING back in the records over a period of ten years, I find some very interesting data on the home run question. During the season of 1918. the Natinoal League made 138 home runs, while the American League totaled only ninety-seven. Last season, the New York Yankees alone made 121 home runs, more than the entire circuit ten years ago. A war-time ball of inferior grade was used during the 1918 campaign. The dizziest home run height was reamed in 1925, when the National registered 634 to 533 in the- American. the amazing total of 1,167 for the two circuits. That year tended to make the home run a sort of a joke and ip various ways it was curtailed last season to the extent of a drop of about 300. This year it appears to be on the increase again. There is something in common between pennants and home runs. This was proved last season, as the two champions led their respective leagues in that respect. St. Louis in the National with ninety, New York in the American with 121. SOLVING PROBLEM mHAVE been asked by many fans t* express my opinion on the subject. The most discussed feature is whether the modern batters are better than the old-timers or the present-day flingers less efficient. Here are a few of the reasons as 1 see them for the home run epidemic now prevailing: The ball in use is much livelier {han the one of 10 or 20 yeari back. Par more new balls are used, makIn r- for greater distance to the batting and less efficiency for the pitching. Smaller ball parks as to playing territory prevail throughout the major league circuits, some of which make the art of swatting home runs more or less of a joke. Sooner or later baseball will come to regulation parks, making the game the same the circuits over. There is sure to be a reaction to the joke home run.

Left Hands Play Important Role Bu United Pres* CHICAGO, June 20.—Two left hands may play an important part | in the bout for the bantam crown here Thursday night when Tony Canzoneri, New York Italian challenger, meets Bud Taylor, Terre Haute titleholder. Both champion and challenger are artists with their left. Taylor painted Canzoneri’s face a gory red in their first battle by raking his left jab into the challenger's snout, while Canzoneri backed Taylor into the ropes with jolting left hooks on several occasions. Canzoneri’s dazzling change of pace—his varied open and closed stance, and his ever-present smile made him an instant favorite with, the crowd in his two Chicago showings. Taylor, who has long been a local favorite, is not the boxer he was two years ago, but he is being backed by a large following here.

Country Club Golf Derby Supplies Keen Sport; Richardt Wins

BY DICK MILLER Just as Kentucky horsemen years ago saw the great sporting possibilities in the annual Dprby race, the officials of the Indianapolis Country Club, a few weeks ago, realized that a golf derby would become an historical links event in future years. The first annual derby was held Saturday and Sunday and it was a huge success. Winners who crashed to fame as the leading players of the first derby set up some records. Saturday play was more or less a qualifying round, or medal play, for a separate set of prizes. Eddie Zimmer, three times a State champion in the amateur ranks, and a holder of a 4 handicap, the lowest at the Country Club, laced out some of his characteristic drives and iron shots Saturday that carried him home with a 71, two under par. Strong on Approach His approach shots were deadly to the pin, and he delated Will Diddel, 3 up and 2, in match play. Diddel was second low gross with a 77. In the net scores Caleb Lodge was first with a 93-26-S7 net, while W. Rollana and Herman Deupree, w r ere tied for second with 70’s. Saturday night, after the participants enjoyed a fine banquet set them b(y C. C. Welch, house manager. the job of rearranging the handicaps was undertaken. Rising from the ranks of dark horses, came Henry L. Richardt of Highland, to an early lead to win

Tribe Opens Series With Brewer Team 1 Indians Drop to Seventh — Lose Two, Tie One Over Week-End. i • 1 I The seventh-place Indians and ! the second-place Brewers were to open a four-game series at the Tribe Park this afternoon with women ■ and children admitted free. The j Milwaukee outfit was in first place ; for a day last week, and looks the I part of a contender throughout the I campaign. The Tribesmen lost ground over | the week-end when two games were ! lost and one tied with the K. C. Blues. Saturday’s fray was dropped, I 7 to 6, and the first of Sunday’s twin bill went to Dutch Zwilling’s team, 1} to 7, and the wind-up Sunday finished in a five-inning draw, 2 and 2, the 6 o'clock law ending the fracas. In Seventh Place The Betzelites are in seventh place as a result of hitting the toboggan in the series with the Blues and now only Columbus stands in the way of the locals and last place. In the afternoon opener Sunday, Kansas City threw down a batting barrage in the fourth, and breaks combined with walks and base hits put nine runs across, fourteen Blues going to the plate in the lat round. A smash by Hauser that took a bad hop over Bethel’s head and went for two bases put the Indians in bad in that wild fourth inning. It was a perfect double-play ball and would have retired the side with no runs, but just as Bruno set himself to snare the sphere it struck something and hurdled him and carried on to the outfield. After that the Blues breezed around the sacks in rapid order.

The Indians outhit the Blues. 15 to 14, in the Sunday opener, but j eight walks helped the visitors. Zinn, the K. C. hurler, did not issue a pass. Zinn and Holke drove out homers I in the first tilt of the double bill. Holke also got a triple. 1 Wid Matthews got four hits, one I for two bases. Grigsby poled four bingles for the Blues. Yoter of the Tribe clouted two triples. Leverett. Swetonic and Schemanske saw service on the Tribe mound, the last-named pitching good ball after he got warmed up. He did not allow a run during the last five innings. Joe Hauser obtained two doubles in the big fourth frame. Schupp and Koupal pitched U—second fray for the Tribe Sunday, the former dropping out for a pipch hitter. Yoter and Betzel drove in the runs that enabled the Indians to tie the Kansas City swatters. Murray, recently of Washington, pitched for Kar> s City. The Tribesmen also outhit the Blues ifi the Sunday finale, five binj gles to four. The Indians had a ! runner thrown out at the plate in the first stanza and again in the ■ fourth. That’s the way the breaks go when a dhll team is in a slump. About 5,000 fans viewed the Washington Park twin attraction Sunday. Eddie Sicking, former Tribe inj fielder, who was sold to Louisville, patched up his differences with the Colonels and signed. He got into action with the Colonels Saturday. ARMOUR AT SHAWNEE Ii New National Open**Champ Competes in Golf Tournament. Bu t nitrd Press SHAWNEE-ON-DELAWARE.

Canoe Champion Nearly Drowns Bu United Press NEW YORK, June 20.—Ernest Riedel, international canoe champion, nearly drowned in Central Park Lake, Sunday, while 1,000 persons watched him ai.d laughed. A score of the onlookers were in boats within easy rescuing distance of Riedel, but they, like watchers on the bank, thought he was fooling.

Several canoeists, most of whom are expert swimmers, had overturned thenboats for sport in earlier races and the crowd assumed Riedel had done the same. * The champion, however, an indifferent swimmer, was seized jvith cramps w r hen he was plunged into the cold water. He floundered and struggled for several minutes before he made another contestant understand he was in difficulties. After a short rest, he participated in other races. Washington won all six of the contests of the regatta. Boxing Fans Favor Heavy Boys in Ring That Explains Interest Here in Risko-Metoquah Scrap Tuesday. "John Risko, Chief Metoquah and Chuck Wiggins have made more money for the soldiers’ athletic fund at Ft. Harrison than any other boxers who have appeared.” said Captain Clark, army matchmaker, today, in discussing the two first named, who are to appear in the feature event of Tuesday night’s fistic show. “It seems the big, hard-punching fellows finally have won the favor of the fight fans. A few years ago a heavyweight battle was tolerated on a fistic card as a sort of necessary- evil. “Now just the reverse is true. While the small boys still retain a certain degree of popularity, especially lads of the type of Sarmiento. Limbaco, Forbes or Moran, who fight all the time, yet for real interest which registers heavy in the box office, you will have to hand it to the heavyweights and light heavyweights. “The little follows supply plenty of excitement if well matched, but the fact the fans regard most of them as not being able to break a pane of glass, takes a lot of kick out of their performances.” Both Risko and Metoquah. who feature Tuesday night's army show-, have proven themselves able to give and take about everything in the Queensbury code and their meeting at Harrison is exciting the fans as few fights have done in recent years.

That was taken as a virtual confirmation of the report that the championship match would be in

Major League Comment

Charlie Root tamed the National League leaders, the Pirates. 14 to 7. and brought the Chicago Cubs to within a game of first place. Root made a present of four runs to Pittsburgh after the game was on ice in the ninth. Webb of the Cubs hit his eleventh homer. Jack Scott of Philadelphia would have been the big hero if he had won both games he pitched for the Phillies. He won the first from Cincinnati. 3 to 1, but in the second he faltered and fell, 3 to 0. He allowed six hits In the first contest and nine in the second. Rogers Hornsby and A1 Reese of the Giants hit home runs and these were valuable in the Giants’ 4 to 3 victory over the Cardinals. The win gave New York an even break on their series with St. Louis. Joe Shaute held the Chicago White Sox to four hits, while his mates were collecting six and Cleveland won, 3 to 2.

Philadelphia. Rickard had his eyes on Philadelphia or Chicago and since the “investigations’’ of boxing in Illinois started, the shore of Lake Michigan is not such a good spot. Sharkey was reported to be a six to five favorite in the early betting. One bet of $6,000 to $5,000 that he would win over Dempsey was said to have been placed with more money available r.t the same price The early odds are based upon the showing that Sharkey made in knocking out Jim Maloney, and on the opinion that Dempsey never can regain his old form.
