Strike Out or Hit a Homer,

That's the Babe!

By HARRY FERGUSON United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, June 27.—It's still all or nothing with the Babe. He has been out of baseball a long time, ‘but Babe Ruth still operates on the ‘theory that you should shoot the ‘works every time. Strike out or hit a homer, that’s his idea. And that’s the way he is going to work today when he steps on the

‘first tee at Fresh Meadow Country Club to try to square things with “his old-time foe of the diamond, Ty ' Cobb. If he wins, it’s likely to be a { -smashing, lop-sided victory, If he loses, he'll lose by the length of one of those homers he used to clout

| of American League baseball parks. | You know the story of this athletic contest by now. The matches ‘were arranged for the benefit of the United Service Organizations which is interested in establishing recreational centers near army camps. The first one was played in Boston on Wednesday over the Commonwealth course and Cobb won 3 up and 2 to play. If Ruth wins today '—and he will be favored—they may play the rubber match in Detroit. Tris Speaker, also quite a ball player in his day, may challenge the rwinner. Cobb Plays Percentage

The Boston match revealed that ‘both men have carried some of |their baseball philosophy over into golf. Cobb is still the smart percentage player. He pokes a short, straight drive down the middle, preferring to be on the fairway rather than belt the ball a mile and be in the rough. * He places great emphasis on his short game and is a superior putter. ° Ruth whales away. off the tee, shooting for a birdie on every hole. He likes to see ’em roar down the fairway and if they catch the rough he doésn’'t worry too much about it. He never has got around to developing his short game and there is a suspicion that his interest lags Sh oss he can cut loose and belt the i * In the old days it was almost as much fun to see Ruth strike out as it was to see him hit a homer. The same thing is true in golf. It's quite a show when he flubs a couple on the fairway and then misses & two-foot putt to take a seven. Played from the back tees, the * Fresh Meadow course will be longer than the one they shot in Boston, and Ruth figures that is to his advantage.

‘Cups Were Washtubs’

“But there won't be much I can|ang 1

do,” he added, “if Ty putts down here the way he did in Boston. You'd think those cups were washtubs the way he was rolling the ball into ’em. I wasn’t so hot with my putter up there, so I'm bound to show some improvement. “That Cobb plays his irons like a pro. He gets into a ball good, and I really didn’t have any idea he played that kind of game. I'll be ready for him this time. That thing

properly called a minnow ? A. Yes.

50 pounds, say? A. No. Well, readers, you're both wrong. A minnow is the name of a family of fish and a carp is a minnow. Ever

hear of a 50-pound carp? If you did, he was a minnow. Small game fish are properly called fry when they are shorter than an inch; No. 1 fingerlings when they are an inch long, No. 112 when they are an inch and a half long, etc. And when they are a year old, they are called yearlings. ” os 2 MRS. ETHEL SWAILS of 1526 Comer Ave., and two rocks, both of Lake Kego, Minn., recently ‘caught a 27-inch northern pike after a sharp tussle. Mrs. Swails, fishing with a plug, got a strike but the fish very promptly broke the line. In so doing, hcwever, it wedged itself between two rocks and Mrs. Swails grabbed it amidships. She held it until aid came and, a few hours later, she posed with the fish for a picture. She'll be glad to show you the picture.

Schools of Thought

IT IS NOT TOO early (or late either, for that matter) to run over the many fancies and foibles of fishermen — the superstitions by which they live and breathe and sometimes catch fish. There is one school which believes the fish and the moon are inextricably bound up and that unless the moon is right, the fish will ignore a banquet. That school is divided into classes, of course, about when the moon IS right—-dark or bright. They fight between themselves something fierce. There is a sizeable group which believes that the main thing is temperature. If the temperature is rising, they think no dice. If the temperature is falling, the fish will

Fair Enough

jump into the boat. This school also has a group that takes its text from the temperature but .nterprets it differently. This

group believes that if the temperature is rising, then fish in deep water. If it is falling, fish in shallow water. There is another school which believes that the only time to fish is at night. Another group believes the only time to fish is in the daytime. A leading exponent of the night fishing theory, however, admitted with chagrin that he caught the largest smallmouth bass of his career at high noon on a sweltering day. And then, of course, there are the new, modern, streamlined barometric fishermen. But you have to have a barometer, a set of flares and a slide rule to fish that way. You can hardly undertake it unless you majored in mathematics and came through cum laude.

says he has seen little trout come up and nose curiously around a lure and then go away. And that then he has seen a papa trout, apparently as a lesson to the little ones, come up and look at the lure and then insolently swish the lure away with his tail. Of course, he’s the same Pink who last year caught a bullfrog on a fly od.

And it is reported that blue gill catches in Lake Maxinkuckee have been very good indeed. The department points out that there is fishing in. 20 lakes developed in state parks, forests, and game preserves in Indiana. All of these lakes have been heavily stocked with black bass, blue gills and other game fish. Boats may be rented at the Hovey Lake State Game Preserve, at both lakes in Shakamak Park and at the lake in Spring Mill | State Park. 8 . ” And starting Tuesday, it will again be perfectly legal to feel your mussels in Indiana. The season will open then and hundreds of persons will piece out their annual income by hunting them. They are sold to factories which make buttons of them.

Golf Ball’s Speed Will Be ‘Frozen’

NEW YORK, June 27 (U. P.). — Beginning Jan. 1, 1942, the speed of a first-grade golf ball will be “frozen” so that its velocity shall be not greater than 250 feet per second, the United States Golf Association announced today.

The Association will make velocity tests with its own machine at

a uniform temperature of 75 de-|in

grees Fahrenheit. A maximum tolerance of 2 per cent will be allowed. The present rules about the size and weight of the ball remain unchanged. The new distance limit, which is approximately the maximum ‘of present day golf balls, is to forestall a gradual but steady lengthening of distance which apparently has. been taking place for some time. Tests of golf balls of ten leading manufacturers on the Association’s machine, devised by the Armour Research Foundation, showed that the velocities after impact range from 247.5 to 254.3 feet per second. The impact velocity of the driving hammer is 145 feet per second. The revised rules, considering the 2 per cent tolerance, will not shorten the length of even the present longest ball. “It is to the best interests of the game to see this new distance limit,” the announcement said. “The gradual lengthening in distance has been borne out by tests of certain makes of golf balls indicating increases in velocities ranging from 38 to 83 per second in the 20 months ending March, 1941. Completion of the new machine has finally enabled fixing a limit.”

Diz Hurls Again

SOUTH BEND, Ind. June 27 (U. P.).—Dizzy Dean and Paul Erickson of the Chicago Cubs set the Studebaker Athletics down with three hits last night as the National League club won 2-0 in an exhibition game before 7500 fans. Dean, now a Cub coach, worked the first three innings, was touched for one hit and fanned three batters. Eddie Hanyzewski, University of Notre Dame sophomore, hurled the route for the Athletics and offset the 9 hits he yielded by striking out 14 Cubs.

Two things determine first line quality in a tire: what goes into it; what you get out of it. On both counts, Lee DeLuxe Tires are up in front. Into them go only the finest materials, the most exacting craftsmans ship. And the famous 5-million mile Florida Road Test proved that you can expect extra miles of travel out of them.

Pitted against other leading first-line brands, Lee treads wear was actually 6 per cent less than the average. This is equivalent to 1000 extra miles of travel per tire.
