the Field

-With Billy Evanr-

p— —i VER a period of seven or O eight years Babe Ruth has reigned supreme as baseball’s greatest slugger. At times he has been challenged

by rivals in both leagues, but the opposition never developed to such an extent that Ruth seemed iii danger of permanently losing his title. The latest menace has arrived in the person of Lou Gehrig, fellow 1 teammate, who follows him in the batting order of the Yankee lineup. He

Evans

seems 'to be made of sterner stuff and for the first time in years the Sultan of Swat appears to be in danger of losing his crown. What is Ruth’s reaction to the battle that Gehrig is making to dethrone him? What sort of a feeling exists between the two? Does Ruth resent the youth who is trying to usurp his throne? The prevailing opinion among the fans is that bad feeling exists between the two super sluggers. Never was anything farther from the truth. SHERE is also a belief among fandom that Babe Ruth has an exalted opinion of himself and—to be just plain vulgar—is a swetll-head. That is.entirely erroneous, Like all stars in any sport, Ruth has supreme confidence in his extraordinary ability. It is that which a lot of people regard as ego. He believes in himself, is positive no other player can hit a ball as far or make as many home runs as Babe Ruth. If Ruth was a temperamental cuss, a bundle of nerves, the homerun threat that Gehrig is making would upset him, would tend to throw him off his stride. However, the Bambino is just the opposite. He is the phlegmatic sort, who never worries about anything. That will best tell you how Ruth is being affected by the struggle that Gehrig is making to take down the home-run honors in the majors. He hardly knows it’s on. UTH and Gehrig are the very -j-? best of friends. Lou will tell you that the Babe has helped him a lot. When the Babe is passed he turns and exhorts Gehrig to hit one out of the lot. There is no bunk about it, either, Ruth is deadly in earnest. f While Ruth unquestionably realize! what a great slugger Gehgig is, I know that down in his heart he is positive the Babe is just a little bet-ter-at the job of making home runs. Incidentally, I am sure that Babe feels that no matter how many home rims “Larruping Lou” Gehrig has at the close of the season, Ruth will have just a few more. Gehrig, on the other hand, is just like a kid about the honors that have been thrust upon him. “Can you imagine anything greater than battling Ruth for the homerun title and doing a pretty good ; job of it?” asks Gehrig. No, kind friends, there is no enmity between Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig; they are the best of friends. Neither is there anything chesty about the Babe, despite any decision you may have reached to the contrary. He’s very human—just a big kid.

Helen Wills Easily Disposes of Young California Net Rival

3 Chicagoans Take Lead in Invitational Mida, Morse and Taylor Best—Hoosier Women m Other Flights. By 'Times Special SOUTH BEND, Ind., July 27. Three Chicago women golfers took the lead in the Women’s Western , Golf Association invitational tourney at the end of the first eighteen-hole round at Chain O’ Lakes Thursday, their best golf being just fair in a field of seventy-seven starters and erratic players. Mrs. Lee Mida, the ruling favorite from Butterfield Country Club, Cnicago, took low gross honor with 86, playing from scratch. Miss Josephine Morse, South Shore, Chicago, had 86 net with a two handicap, and Mrs. John Taylor of Evanston had 87 with two handicap. The rest of the field was far behind in gross scores. Mrs. Robert Tinsley, Crawfordsville, was out in front in the seqond flight with 97 gross and 89 net. Mrs. C. A. Jaqua, Highland, was the only other Hoosier to place in the second flight. She had 98 gross and 91 net. Mrs. O. M. Kinnison, Elkhart, had 93 gross and 79 met for first place in the third flight. Miss Mary Gorham, Highland, placed in this flight with 99 gross 88 net. Mrs. A. A. McClamrock, Highland, in the same flight and 103 gross and,9l net* Mrs. William Diddel, Highland, was the only other Indianapolis woman playing. She placed far down in the fourth flight with 111 gross and 92 net. The uncertainty of lay made the players cautious, and fear took its toll in strokes. Mrs. Mida had an admittedly poor round Thursday. Miss Morse was in difficulty innumerable times, but her steady recovery shots* kept her abreast of her opponent. t/.S. G.A. to Rule on Voight’s Case Bu United Press WASHINGTON, July 29.—New York headquarters of the United States Golf Association are expected to announce in a few days whether George J. Voigt, star Washington golfer barred from further amateur tournaments in the District of Colurribia, is eligible to compete in the National Amateur event at Minneapolis next month.

; Miss Jacobs ‘Blows Up’ in Feature Match of Essex Event. VICTOR IN TOP FORM Score of 6-1, 6-2 Decides Tennis Tilt. Bu United Press MANCHESTER, Mass., July 29. Wills, Wimbledon tennis champion, easily defeated her Berkeley, Cal., townswoman, Helen Jacobs, in the finals of the women’s invitation tennis tournament at the Essex Country Club here today. The score was 6-1, 6-2. Miss Jacobs, the 18-year-old girl who has been making tennis history since she came East as the pretender to challenge Miss Wills’ right as queen of California’s court stars, was unable to cope with the terrific service of her opponent. Champ Cuts Loose Miss Jacobs was nervous, but game. • She was scarcely a match for the former national champion, whose drives found the base lines with precision and speed. “Helen the Second” seemed just a bit stage frightened. The winner gained sixty-one points in the two sets to twentynine for the younger player. The stands were crowded as the two girls staged their rivalry match. Miss Wills served and immediately took the lead. She ran through four games before dropping one at love. Then she ran out the set. The Wimbledon champion hugged the base line and drove to every corner of the court. Out of Position At no time during the first set was Miss Jacobs able to solve the stroking power of her opponent. She was forced to run all over the court and frequently was caught out of position by smashing returns. Miss Willis found no difficulty in handling Miss Jacobs’ service. On tide other hand, the younger girl Was aced several times. The second set was almost a repetition of the first save that Miss Jacobs seemed to have more control. She even led at ’l-0 when she won the first game on service. The fourth game went to deuce several times before Miss Wills won it ahd had a 3-1 game advantage. After going to 5-1, Miss Wills dropped the seventh game, but came back iii the eighth after it had deuced to win the set and match.

Hoosiers and Leaders End Short Series Struggling Indians Return Home Saturday—Bat- j tered Again Thursday. ] Bu Times Special TOLEDO, July 29.—Bruno Bctzel's struggling Indians were to wind up their series with the Hens today and tonight the Hoosiers will depart for Indianapolis to meet the lowly Colonels Saturday. The “struggling ones” took another thumping at the hands of the league leaders Thursday. 13 to 8. Louis Koupal being the pitching victim. He was left in the full route and took plenty of punishment. Wild First Inning Bob Veach and Emil Meusel crashed homers in the first Inning to give the 3,000 fans something to rave about. Meusel signed a Hen contract Wednesday night, stepped to the plate in the first inning Thursday, acknowledged a basket of flowers presented by Toledo rooters, took careful aim and clouted tha first ball pitched to him over tha left field fence. ! It was a wild first stanza, the Indians getting three runs and the league leaders five. Marriott, local third sackcr, stole third and homo to give the crowd a glimpse of some outstanding base running. Nina Hens batted in that round. Huntzinger Bombarded The Hoosiers knocked Huntzinger out of the box in the fourth inning j and Ryan relieved and •cut loose with some remarkable twirling until i he let down in the last two sessions. He struck out the side in the sixth, ! tanning Layne, Betzel and Snyder— I one, two, three! , Yoter was best at bat for the losers, with two singles and a double. The Tribe got twelve hits and the Hens seventeen. The Hens apparently are able o accomplish almost anything they try against the Indians this season and have just about knocked in the Betzelites for enough games to make the 1927 pennant safe for ; Toledo.
