BIG S0UTHPAW NEVER

Got Acquainted With Him When
He Hit Terrific Smash.

One hears flock of odd stories
listening 10 bunch OF ball players

one that was gem.
Did you fellows ever hear about
Babe Ruth. the big southpaw of the
Boston Red Sox, when Babe faced the
Detroit Tigers for the first timer"
asked Chappie
Nobody had heard 1t. so Ray con.
tinued:
Ruth was ON his first western trip
with the Sox and was not allowed To
start game until the team reached
Detroit, the last stop before going back
to Boston, and Ruth worked the final
game. He Won 1t, 3 to .. but in the
last half Of the ninth with a man Oh
first a Tiger put the business end of
his bat against fast one and sent
the ball a mile minute to the right
field stands for home run. The next
batter was easy picking. and the game
was over.
Upon his return TO Boston Ruth
met friend when the train pulled
into the Back Bay station. This friend
srasped Babe by the hand. remark.
ing: We'll, l see you beat the Tigers.
Did they hit you very hard?'
1.-The team didn't, but one guy
slammed ball almost out OF sight.
l didn't know anybody could hit 'em
so far In this league
"'Who was he?
"'Oh. l cont know-some Teller they
called Sam.

PETE HERMAN IS

Pete Herman, the hantamwe!ght

istlc public with the fact that he is
I real fighter
When Pete won twentyround de.

cans and followed by claiming the
panty crown, many folks slipped him
the "rawsberry"
Another apstart." the laughed
Another tango dancer who hasn't
punch enough to break an egg
But Herman kept right on pushing
ls claims, and the fact that he has
not refused any Of the would-be ban.
IAN champions chance to fight him
Ia made big impression.
Recently Herman knocked out for
mer champion Johnny Coulon at
Racine, Wis, in three rounds. This
Feat was not particularly wonderful
when one remembers that Coulon is
low bald headed shadow Of his for.
mer self But It does show that Her.
man can punch, for 1t takes a win.
ming punch to put away an opponent
who knows as much as Coulon knows
lbout fighting
And it's only fair to give little Pete
Herman credit for being the best Of
the banties until some one proves
that he Is not. He will probably be
seen in action against Williams, Ertie
md Burns before the Summer Is over.
