"a prophet is not without honor
save in his own country runs an old
phrase. Applied to boxers and boxing
it would read just the other way
around. European champions possess
honor only in their own country, with
few exceptions.
Why is it, that England and other
European countries can produce
great champions in any other line of
sports save boxing?s In tennis, golf,
rowing, track athletics and various
other forms Of athletic competition
the Europeans not only equal but
often excel Uncle Sam But when it
comes to producing ring men they
standard. The odd part of the whole
thing is that Britons and French
men unfailingly wax enthusiastic over
every new ring champion they
produce, too. There seems to be little
doubt, despite repeated disasters with
American fighters, that they will
prove wonderful sensation in Yam
kee rings before boxing devotees who
are used to glimpsing genuine men
in action.

COBB DESTINED
TO LOSE HIS
BATTING CROWN

Tyrus Raymond Cobb is apparent
ly destined to lose his batting crown
this season. He is now more than
HUNDRED points behind George Sisler,
who is leading the American League
with an average above 400, and from
thirty to seventy-hve points behind
such robust and persistent c1outers as
Eddie Collins, Clyde Milan, Sam Rice,
Babe Ruth and Joe Jackson. A
younger and faster Cobb might con-
cede such odds and still win through
at the finish, but we doubt If Cobb
himself believes he can do it at his
present age and with a damaged
les.
He may and probably will over
take a least a dozen of the twenty
odd regular players who are now
listed above him in the averages, but
Sisler, Jackson, Speaker, and Ruth
would seem to be too far away. It
now appears certain that one Of these
four will succeed to the title which
Cobb has~so long and SO brilliantly
defended, and it is not at all I'M
likely that the honor will fall to
Ruth.
Ruth could advance beyond the
400 mark within a week if he were
not so intent upon establishing new
home run record. He is by nature
a DeLLeI hitter IMAM any OIL Inc IQTee6
who are now listed above him in the
. averages, and would prove it beyond
all bubble or debate if he were free
to hit for an average instead of for
the circuit. If he could satisfy him
se1f-and the fish-with singles; if he
could so far restrain himself as to
just meet the ball, instead of slam
ming it with all his might, he would
make more hits in eighT games than
any of the others could deliver in
ten.
An AH-Round Leader.
When the Babe has made his thir-
tieth homer and put a new world
record in the books he may shorten
his swing and pay some attention to
his average. If he does he will be at
Sisters heels within a month.
Sisler is a wonderful hitter, one OF
the greatest Of modern times and
indications are that he will bat above
| 800 throughout the entire campaign
The man who beats him will have to
hit 400 Or within a very few points
of it, and this sort of thing isn't done
| every year. To Ruth, however, the
| climb into the 400 class would repre-
sent a gain of only fifteen points or
SO, and he could gain that much in a
week if he really applied himself.
If Ruth does win the hating cham
| pionship this year he will finish his
| first season as a Yankee with al
sorts of titles. He has the home run
title clinched already, and is far
ahead of all possible rivals as a re-
ceiver of bases on balls. He drew
or had forced upon him-more than
one hundred passes last season, and
| the chances are that he will ge- be-
| tween 135 and $50 this year. The
e
| chances are that he has averaged
pretty close to one complimentary
per game thus far this season.
He will also lead the league in
scoring. He is out in front now, and
his margin is growing greater with
every passing week. He is, there's
fore. in a very fair way of leading his
! league in at least four important
| lines of diamond endeavor-

ASCENT OF THE MATTERHORN

Edward Whymper, an English ex-
plorer, and his party were the first to
scale the dizzy heights of the Mat
terhorn, a part of the main ridge of
the Alps in southern Switzerland
whymper accomplished his feat on
July IA, 1865
The Matterhorn is 1896 feet in
height and is among the most in
accessible mountains in the world
Mountain climbers of all nations had
failed in their attempts to reach its
summit before Whymper finally sue
ceeded in scaling it The triumph,
however, was oyershadowed by a
tragedy.
During the decent of the party an
accident occurred as the result of
which four of the party were pitched
over a precipice almost 1000 feet in
height and dashed to pieces upon
rocks below
The next successful accent of the
Matterhorn was made by Miss Walk
er and her father in 1871 In 1879
DR.. w. o. Mosely, an American
climber. was killed in an attempt TO
mount the treacherous peak.
