their leagues year after year in the matter of two and three-b -baggers And when those boys hit the ball the man who tried to halt it in it's flight was the man who risked his life.
 The greatest clouters of the far-back days were right handlers. In fact. the coming of left-handers into the ranks of the truly great has been only in the last generation or two. Since then many great left-handers have flashed into view, but only Ruth can take rank among the great sluggers.
 Cobb and Collins depend more on speed and short hits to fatten their averages. Neither is a slugger of the Delehanty, Anson, Wagner type. The same thing is true of Speaker, Roush and Sisler- Joe Jackson is a heavy hitter and he's a left-hander. But in long-distanee work he isn't in class with the great right-handers.
 RIGHT-HANDERS
 Fred Merkle, a right-hander, hits them for long distances. Roger Hornsby is another right-handed star of today. So is Heinie Groh But neither is a clouter. Each depends more upon singles and an occasional double than the longer swats. Fred Luderus, the Phillie first sacker. who gets long drives. is a left-hander. So is Waffle Pipp of the Tanks, and was Frank Baker-both rather noted for their long-range work.
 Heilman and Flagstead the Tiger ar right-handers. Veach hits from the left side. stuffy McInnis is a right-handed hitter. So is George Burns, star of the Giants outfield Ray Chapman of the Indians is Q Buck Weaver of the White Sox hits from either side. Ping Bodie. another Yankee slugger, Is a 
 In this era it's about 50-50 as to which kind of batsman is better in huge averages, for there are about as many great right-hand- CTS as left-handers over the 300 mark. But when 1t comes to slugging, the glory goes to the southpaw hitters be- cause Ruth hits 'em from that side and loses 'em about every time he hits.

Babe" Ruins terrific banging from the port side of the plate tilts the bal ance of slugging slightly in the direc- tion of the left flanders again.
 The southpaw hitters have, for many years, outswatted the right-handers in the matter of percentage points. But the real long distance hitters of the past and excluding Ruth have been right-handers.
 Cactus Cravath the only real rival that Ruth has who is identified with the playing end of the game today. is a right-hander. Ruth, in 1919, eclfpsed Cravath's single season mark. But Ruth will have to clout quite tremend- ously for several more seasons before he can approach the circuit smash rec O. ] that old Wooden Shoes" has hung out.
 Prior to Babe Ruths day, Ed Dele hanty was regarded as the most DOW erful hitter of them all. Veteran fans tell. with bated breath. of the slug ging feats of Delehanty. And Big Ed" hit from the right side of the plate.
 So did old Cap Anson He was one of the greatest of all batsmen-the man who lived longer in major league harness than any other regular. And the hits that used to rain off his bats were hits that travelled great dis tances. They needed to be, for Ansoa was notoriously slow of foot and had to hit them far to assure himself a safety.
 WAGNER A SLUGGER
 Wagner was a slugger; so was La 5ofe. And both were right flanders. Neither specialized in home runs. as have Cravath and Ruth, but they led

JOHN M'GRAW SAYS
 THERE IS TOO MUCH
 SLUGGING IN MAJORS

John McGraw says theer is too much slugging-says the Giant leader:
 Tn my opinion the cause of the tre- mendous hitting is the rule which pre- vents the pitcl CTS former custom of put ting rosn on their fingers in order to take the gloss off the ball. The strict en- forcement of this rule has handicapped all of the pitchers. Personally I do not believe the public cares for old-fashioned slugging matches and scores that run into double figuer son both sides.
 "The splitter and the sinner can be abol- shed without hurting the game The pitching was first-class when the spitball and the shineball were unknown, yet Tn those day the pitchers maintained their by rubbinb rosin dirt on their hands, and nobody found fault.
 There is too much slugging, too many home runs. The pitching rules should be amended immediately"

 day-St Louis Looms Up Strong

New York, June 1S.-Cincinnati busted Brooklyn from the National League leadership today. while the New York An ericans overwhelmed Cleveland and brought about a virtual tie in that league.
 With the two leading teams in each league fighting each other. the St. Louis Nationals loom up as a rival to Gin cinnati and Brooklyn. The American League leaders, however, enjoy good lead and are going at good gait
 Cincinnati was far from world series form in the New York series, but showed to better advantage against Brooklyn. Brooklyn is averaging only about two runs to a game since returning to it's home grounds, while the pitchers are proving ineffective against the western visitors.
 St. Louis, in the midst of it's first winning streak, is meeting little oppo- siotion in the east. The Cardinals have won eleven of their last fourteen games, Chicago dropped from the top of the league to fourth place in two weeks, winning yesterday it's first victory in eleven games.

BLINDNESS,

Jesus said, for judgment l an
come into this world, that they which
see not might see. and that they
which sec might be made blind. -
John tx, 80
Blindness of the spirit is inability
10 see truth or to understand it's sig
nificance; it is the result of such a
closing of the spiritual vision as igno-
rance effects or, still worse, rejection
OF the truth. Those whose blindness
i sincerely from ignorance can easily
be healed by the Lord, and their eyes
opened tc the beauties of spiritual
realities; those who insist that they
see, but who reject the truth and
prefer their own mistaken views can
not be reached and helped until their
attitude is changed. Ones insistent
confirmation to himself of what is
false, closes his eyes to the seeing of
what is true, and this one does under
the influence Of sensuous experience,
and selfish love. But one who longs
for the truth will find it and the Lord
will open his eyes with increasing
power to see and rejoice in it.

the seasonings which her family pre-

such way that the special flavors
may be most satisfactorily brou hit
