May Cause Change Of Rules;
Ruth's Long Drive Not
on Records.

When the baseball rules are getting
their next revision. whenever that
may be, an effort will be made 10
change the present Interpretation in
regard to home runs which decide ball
games. Under the system now in
vogue a batsman may hit the ball out
side a park. but IL the runners on
bases settle the game the hitter does
not get credit for his home run. and
it does not so into the records as
such. This is an injustice to the bats
man While the run does not score
in the game. since it is not necessary.
there is no reason why It should not
go into the summary OF the game, and
into the official records as a home
run. 1t IS the most timely Of hits
and important enough TO settle a
game. Babe Ruth recently hit into
the stands at Boston, one OF his long
est hits OF the year. yet II does not
show in his record OF home runs Pipp
hit into the stands at the Polo
Grounds recently and broke up a bail

Twenty years ago today. Aug. I.
1898, SOlly Smith and Tommy White
fought a p round draw at Coney
Island This was a battle for the
featherweight championship OF the
world, as Smith had won that title
the previous year by whipping George
Dixon in san Francisco. Solly, who
was a Los Angeles boy. wasn't a par
ticularly brilliant champion, as dur
ing his brief reign he was held to
draws by both Tommy White and Ed
die Santry, both of whom were Chi
cago lads. About two months after
the White bout. Smith took on Dave
Sullivan at Coney Island and lost his
title in the fifth round when he
broke his arm and was unable TO
proceed Within a year after losing
his honOrs Smith was defeated by
Oscar Gardner and knocked out by
Joe Bernstein. Tommy White was a
veteran when he fought Smith. and
he had previously fought draws with
almost all the champs and near
champs. After failing TO take the
title from any Of these boys he tackled
Terry McGovern three times, but
Tommy was given such lacings that
he quit the ring.
