ASKED HIM ALL SORTS OF
OuESIIONS AROUT HIS BAT.

They asked me all kinds OF things
about my bat and how | held II and
how swung IT, they wanted o look
at my eyes, and one fellow got me 70
strip off my shirt TO give my back
muscles the once over. At first
thought they were kidding me, but
it didn't do me any good TO find out
they weren't, because 1 talk the way
some people sing.
A fellow comes up and says: Can
you hit an incurve further than an
Out?" And, honest, just don't know
what to answer. Usually I think OF
the reply after the papers gone to
press, and even then I'm not so sure
I'm right. I'll have to make n cellar
campaign II / ever run for anything.
I'm not even good enough for the
front porch.
The last year I was with the Red
Sox l think you'll agree that l hit
good fast stride. But this season the
| old batting eye seems to be working
better han ever, because that's the
only way l can account for my new
record. The pitchers certainly haven't
gone back. and they're doing their
| best TO strike me out or walk me.
| They put all they've got on the ball,
and I've had TO beat them with the
I
| good 70 lay for me in deep right, be-
cause when l point the ball in that
direction I'm looking over the sLand,
not at the outfeld at all. When the
| time comes for some other fellow to
| lift my laurels--ond | feel sure some
| body'll do II some day suggest that
| they keep fielder in the streA. lust
| outside riFhtfield fence and wigwag
20 him when the balls coming over.
| We must recognize that some OF the
! twirlers are under a handicap this
| year on account Of the rule against
! he use Of rosin, sand, parahine or
| licorice on the ball, | know by long
| experience that little pinch of rosin
Is great aid to a twirler with his
| curve ball.
AS to the emery ball, / should think
| the result is about the same though
! accomplished in different way. The
paratflne ball or shine ball" as they
called II last year, Is something
never knew anything about. II GER
tainly never gave me any trouble at
! the bat. SO, n any one can figure out
! just how much these new handouts
on the pitcher have helped rIe this
year, and how many of my homers
this season are due to them, I'd be
glad to know.
But | would still like to ask why
ISN'T somebody else pasting out TWEEN
ty-five or thirty home runs If it's so
easy against this years pitching?

Derby in front Of thousands OF fans,
he'd never get over It. But / got
one in Phillie once, and It was about
the greatest Joke ever put across on
me. I'll tell you all about that
later.
Here was the record for 1919 that
the Yankees bought along with their
30 pounds Of Ruth: 100 games, 4S2
times at bat, 1873 hits, rs extra base
hits, 20 home runs, "a two -baggers,
~ three-baggers, scored more runs
than any other player IN the league
1903; struck out more times than any
other batter In the league-5S times;
made 230 put-outs, two errors and 20
assists as on outfielder for a fielding
average Of .992. My throwing arm
had shown up as one of the best on
the whole circuit of clubs, enabling me
to get more assists than any other
outer gardener in the American
League.
l don't write Of these things In a
Dragging spirit, but Just to give you
brief catalogue Of the goods the
Yankees got for their money. In
view of this, and my 1920 home record
OF ~ home runs TO date, you tell 'em
whether F'razeeI saw the Colonels
coming.
After we got away for the spring
training trip I found myself up
against something that puzzled me q
lot more than Walter Johnson's speed
or Eddie Cicotte's snake ball. This
was the sport writer. He's a nice
fellow and his game in life is boosting
other fellows, but, golly, can you
imagine O Protectory boy Just few
years out OF school irving to tell the
newspaper men what he thinks about
the Polish question? On the level,
that's about the kind OF things they
asked me, and I'm telling you fair
that's the first time knew there was
Polish question.

Pipp singled, but was called out when
he tried to stretch It into a double.
Ping Bodie, THE Magnificent" sent
Lewis home with a single that terrnl-
mated the Yankees scoring until the
ninth inning.
Jack Quinn was taken out in the
seventh TO allow Meusel to bat for
him. He famed, however, at a time
when the Yanks could have scored on
any sort of a hit. Rip Collins An
ished the game on the mound and
held the Indians well in hand through
out the rest Of the game.
Both teams wore bands of black
crepe on their sleeves in memory Of
Ray Chapman.
Throughout the afternoon there
were no outbursts Of wild cheering or
the customary baseball enthusiasm
displayed, typical at every major
league ball game. The tragedy that
swept away at the height of his brill
liant career the well liked Ray Chap
man was keehly felt by the large
gathering that witnessed the game.
Lnne, the youngster upon whose
shoulders the task has fallen to fill
the shoes OF the great Cleveland
shortsbop was given a mild ovation
when he stepped to the plate In the
third inning. The crowd present
realized the task confronting the
youth, who Is Just breaking into the
big show, also paying homage in
their applause, to his passing prede-
ceSsor.
Jim Bagby twirled faultless ball
throughout the nine innings, but fell
victiIA to the onslaughts of the
Hugmen in the ninth.
In four trips to the plate Lunte did
not get a hit. In the field he was
credited with one assist and one put
out.
Babe Ruth sent the ball into the
stands in the first inning, along the
right field foul line that was foul by
just a few inches.
Despite the announcement that
there were 10 be two games played to-
day the schedule has been changed
and there will only be one, starting
