PLAYING the FIELD

—With Billy Evans-

ii LEAKING records has become D almost a part of Babe Ruth’s I I '’ally routine. In any game lie Uv.ls to do some of his copyrighted h ting, he sends the fans away disappointed. D; : "c: the greater part of the season he has kept fandom wondering if I e wold be able to shake off

the challenge of the youthful Lou Gehrig for the title of “Home Run King’’ As I write, Ruth has fifty-six circuit swats to forty-five for Gehrig, a martin of ten home runs. It appears the Babe still is supreme in the art of “slug.” . Now, with the Gehrig challenge

Evans

answered, baseball fans are pondciing over Ruth's chances to break his 1921 mark of fifty-nine home runs._ ~ It was rather fitting that wnen Ruth made his fiftieth home run of the present season it gave to him the honor of breaking a record that has stood since 1884, a matter of forty-three years. When Ruth reached the half century mark, it made New V ork s home run total of the 1927 season 141, one better than the mark of the Chicago Nationals in 1884. * * PLAYED IN MOST SERIES j io PLAYER in all the history M of baseball ever carried the Dm responsibility that Ruth does in a world series. Fandom looks for him to come through with a homer or two and failure to do so makes a lot of folks regard him as a “bu6t,” which, of course, is very unfair. As I glance over Ruth's record as a world series performer, I find some very unusual facts, not only as to his batting prowess but pitching as well. Ruth holds the record for longtimes service as a world series veteran. When he starts the 1927 -classic, it will be the eighth world’s championship in which he has played. . . In three of such series he has starred as pitcher. In the others, he has played the outfield and featured with his home run hitting.

If Ruth is fortunate in being in a hitting mood this fall, he will have established a bunch of records that should stand for years to come. * * * SOME OF HIS FEATS OERE are a few of the world series feats that carry the name of Babe Ruth: He holds the record for most home runs made in a game, three, and the most in a series, four- These were made last fall against the Cardinals. He holds the record for the most home runs hit in world series competition, eight. He holds the individual record for the most runs scoreu in a world series game, four; the most extra bases on long hits in total series, thirty; the most extra bases on long hits, one series with twelve; the most extra bases on long hits in one game, nine, which was the day Ruth made three home runs. Not only does he hold these unusual batting records, but he goes to the other extreme with eleven bases m balls In one series and twenty-six passes In total series. * * * A PITCHER, TOO mUEN for a minute consider these worth-while pitching feats: Ruth is credited with pitching the longest world series game ever played, a fourteen-inning victory over Brooklyn, by a 2-1 score. Incidentally he is one of the few pitchers to have scored a 1-0 series shutout, beating the Chicago Cubs by that score in 1918. The Babe has pitched the most Innings in which no runs have been scored by the opposition, twentynine. , * , . These are the outstanding feats of Babe Ruth as a slugger and pitcher which readily show why he Is baseball’s most colorful player.

‘Crucial’ Series May Prove Fatal to League-Lead- , -ing Pirates. CARDS ALSO ' MENACE New Yorkers Have Six Easy Games Ahead. Another loss today to the Giants would have reduced the Pirates’ margin in the National League over the second place New Yorkers to a game and a half and would have increased the pennant chanbes of the latter enough to shatter the recent concession that Pittsburgh was ‘in.” The outlook for the Giants is made brighter by the fact they have six games ahead with the Phils and Dodgers, while the Pirates have to play four games with the Cubs, who have recently demonstrated the mid-season proficiency which kept them at the head of the league /or a month. St. Louis, only half a game behind the Giants, also has proved a menace. , The Giants triumphed over Pittsburgh Friday, 6 to 5, through Lindstrom’s triple to center, the deciding factor iri scoring two runs in the ninth. The Pirates scored four is the first and one in the third, but could not hit thereafter. The Giants got four in the seventh. A home run by Fournier in the ninth and the steady pitching of Genewich, forced the Cardinals from second to third place as Boston won, 3to 2. Fournier’s hit came in the ninth after the Braves had equaled the two Cardinal runs, scored in the first, with single tallies in the first and fifth. Seventeen hits and ton runt was the levy made on the Phils by the Cubs, while Carlson limited his former team mates to seven hits and scored a shut-out. Ray Moss, a Memphis Southern League pitcher, recently obtained by Brooklyn, was credited with a victory over the Reds, although he was taken odt when he was in danger in the eighth. He pitched scoreless ball for the first six innings In tltA second game of a double-header. The score was Dodgers, 4; Reds, 3. Cincinnati won the first game, 6 to 3, by hitting Elliott for four runs in the fifth.

TEX BEMOANS APPARENT PASSING OF JACK DEMPSEY Manassa Mauler ‘Through,’ Critics Say, as Big Fight Moves Into Land of ‘I Remember.’

BY HENRY L. FARRELL United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Sept. 24.—The most colorful heavyweight championship fight of modem times today was passing rapidly into the land of “I remember” and with the fantastic ballyhoo, the gaudy show and the belated aftermath, / the greatest money-maker and one of the greatest fighters of them all was becoming has-been. Jack Dempsey may appear in the ring again, but it’s improbable. He is entitled to retire and he is miles from the poverty which has forced i other ex-champions to attempt successful comebacks. It was generally believed throughout the boxing world Dempsey’s battle in which he failed to regain his title from Gene Tunney Thursday night was his last. Remote Chance Passes The remote chance that the decision giving Tunney victory might be reversed on the ground the champion was on the canvas more than ten seconds during the seventh round of the battle was almosfc'completely removed. Although Leo Flynn, Dempsey’s canny manager, attempted to file a protest Friday, it was refused on the ground Flynn had no written authority to represent the champion. Flynn claimed in the petition he attempted to file before the commission that Tunney was on the floor between 13 and 16 seconds. The best unbiased opinion is he remained there 13 seconds and that it was four seconds before Referee Dave Barry started to count, because Dempsey didn’t heed the rules and go to a neutral comer. The facts stand Dempsey was a badly pummelled man at the end of the ten rounds and Tunney fresh as a daisy; that tt was Dempsey’s age as much as anything else that held him back and that he isn’t getting any younger. Tunney has beaten Dempsey twice. Although Jack hasn’t said anything positively, it doesn’t appear he would try it again.

Plans Undecided Tunney .and Dempsey both were in town today, their plans for the immediate future undecided. Dempsey intends to go back to California with Mrs. Dempsey within a few days. He wasn’t seriously hurt in the eighth. Gene had planned to go to Cleveland today to visit friends, but he was pursuaded by Mayor to stay over until tonight or Sunday to attend a luncheon given by the Mayor’s committee which sponsored the fight. Tunney said he would rest for two or three months. Later he may make another vaudeville tour or go into the movies, Tex Rickard mourned the passing of the great slugger from Utah with mixed sentiment. He revealed he had made $1,400,000 from Dempsey’s fights and also expressed the opinion he might as well call It enough—that Dempsey never would fight again before a horde of people who thought it worth S4O a head to watch him. Tex still has Tunney under contract, “but they won’t ’pay to see him like they did that Dempsey,” Rickard said. “Tunney is a good man—a real good one but he can’t draw the crowds. “I haven’t an Idea who he’ll fight next. We’ll have to look around. We might go to London for the next big

FOOTBALL FUNDAMENTALS As Told By Famous Coaches TO BILLY EVANS

e I thi _

S'— 1 INCE the center starts a majority of the plays in football he is of necessity a very important figure despite the fact he seldom breaks into the headlinesThe center plays a big part in the offense. The center puts the ball into play by a pass. The end-over-end direct pass is seldom, if ever, used any more. The direct pass must be spiral; it is much easier for the backs to handle and reaches them more quickly. The indirect pass is actually handed by the snapper-back to the field general. Proper passing of the ball is most important for the successful execution of an intended play. Contrary to the general belief, the back is not supposed to adjust himself to the

fight. I don’t know when tt will be, maybe not next year even.” It will be “quite a spell,” Rickard said, before another crowd of 145,000 will pay $2,658,000 to see a fight and there aren’t any more million dollar purses in immediate prospect for the performers. The Dempsey did that and the Dempsey appears to be through. --- WANTS GRID BERTH Foster Sanford, Penn’s star pitcher, wants to land a berth on the Penn football team.

pass; rather, the center must get the ball to the back the way he wants it. It is in the passing that one can notice the great difference in the efficiency of the centers. The center who desires an All-America berth must know the peculiarities of every ball handler to whom he must pass. In present-day football there is an exact split second when the ball must be passed. A plan can not be timed without perfect accuracy. Here are a few things a center must do: Forget the opposing team, even though he knows that shortly after the pass all rivals will crash him like a locomotive. He must never pass the ball to the wrong man- He must correctly gauge the speed of the player to whom he passes. He must see if he catches the ball, because the center should be the first maQ, other than the player who fumbles, to know it. Many coaches Instruct their center to yell “Ball,” when there is a fumble, so that every one can join in the scramble to recover it. The moment the center snaps the ball he becomes a linesman and has a duty to perform—either he fills a hole in his own line or crashes through and tries to cut down the secondary defense.

A. A. Pennant at Stake in Last Games Hens and Brewers Tied for Lead; Keen Interest in Tribe Tilts. With the American Association pennant race tied in a knot between Milwaukee and Toledo, and Kansas City holding a lingering chance, the 1927 flag hinges on the closing contests of the season, today and Sunday. Casey Stengel’s Hens climbed on even terms wth the Brewers by taking the first half of Friday’s doubleheader from the Indians at Washington Park. The score was 8 to 2. Ferd Schupp stopped the Hens In the second fracas Friday, darkness halting the tilt after eight innings with the score one and one. In the meantime Milwaukee was trimmed by St. Paul in the Wisconsin city. Hen Fans Coming Another double-header was carded between Indians an/1 Hens here this afternoon and the schedule will be brought to a close with a twin bill Sunday. If the Hens win today, it is said there will be a large party of Toledo fans here Sunday to cheer the Stengelites In their final efforts to capture the championship. Toledo never has won the pennant and rooters of that city are frantie . Milwaukee also has four games left, two with the Saints today and the same number Sunday. May Be Play-off There is a chance that Milwaukee and Toledo will finish in a tie for the lead, and if that occurs there will have to be a play-off series to determine the pennant. The Kansas City Blues practically were eliminated Friday when the Millers knocked them in. The Kawtown pastimers were one and onehalf games back of Brewers and Hens this morning. Today’s double-header here was to start at 1:30 and Sunday’s twin attraction will start at 2.
