The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-12-29
By Jack VeiOCk.

New York, Dec. 29-Seventy-five homers in 1921!
 Babe Ruth, Behemoth of Swat hopes to attain this goal next season "a goal that fandom- gasping with astonishment today.
 s Here is a batting feat that appears Impossible. even for a super-slugger. But Ruth modestly admits that he is ambitious to achieve 1t.
 Fresh from Cuba with a coat or tropical tan and a famed bank roll, the big Bambino, who is getting ready today for a hunting trip, srnil- ingIy admitted that he hopes to shat ter his 1920 record and would like to make it seventy-five."
 Ruth isn't self-conscious or boast full Home run hitting is his bust- ness, likewise his hobby. In fact. ir is a science with him. Incidentally there are several plausible reasons why he should better his world s record.
 American League pitchers handed him 148 bases on balls last season, or nearly twice as many as they gave to any other player; Iris Speaker with 97 Harry Hooper with SS, Pep Young with 85 and Bobby Roth with \5 were the only batsmen who drew

 Hoyvley Gets Credit.
 Indications that Ty Cobb doesn't Intend to overlook "any bets to en- lance the cause of his athletes when tested in an announcement from the baseball office that Dan Howley, coach of the Bengal pitchers in 1919 nas been .re-engaged by the Georgian to handle the moundsmen next year. Much of the success achieved by the Tiger pitchers in the race preced- ling the last disastrous nightmare was |due, Cobb went on record with a |statement to the efficient methods |propounded by Howley, who. for req sons that cannot be explained, was dismissed by Jennings when the sea- )son closed.
 On assuming the duties as man. ager, however, it was Cobb'S first act to Impress Navin with Howley's real value in the duties he dispatched and the man whom Jack Coombs succeed ed will in turn succeed Coonbs.

Cobb appreciated How ley's work more than Jennings did, 1t seems, and the Georgian almost simultaneous with his acceptance of the job as managers of the Tigers next year, created the opening for Dams return.
 Has Faith In Daniel F.
 In discussing Howley at New York recently Cobb was eager to give Dan unStiuted praise and he volunteered the information that the coach would have complete charge of the pitchers without the slightest interference on his part. Ty is jubilant over the prospects of a formidable staff of hurlers next season and he seems satisfied that Howley possesses suff1- cient tact to be permitted unrestrict' ed charge of them under any circum- stances.
 One feature that will help Howlea is his popularity with the Tigers Without exception Dan is held ir high esteem by the players and he associates with them constantly Coombs was just reverse.

Babe Ruth Would Like To E Make 75 Homers Next Year
Last Season Was Intentionally Walked 14S Times More Than Any Other Player and He Missed Twelve
 Full Games, Due to Injuries

more than half as many transporta- ticns as Ruth received.
 In addition. the Babe missed twelve full games. due to injuries. This was the equivalent of at least forty tim es at bat Add forty to the total bases on balls he received and you have 1 SS chances that the home run king missed to swat the globu1e.
 Naturally enough Ruth will be passed many times next season. But he hopes to be more fortunate and get an earlier start than he did last spring. If he does, watch out for a new record.
 In 1920, the champion stugger was at bat 45S times and slammed out 54 home runs, an approximate average of one homer for every SOS times a' bat. If he can get as good as 100 more chances to swing on the bail next year and his batting eye does not fail him, he has a chance to at- tain this ambition, though it will take some tremendous hitting.

Thomas Anxious
 To Meet Bogash
French Welter Thinks He Can Stop Local Battler
 If Given a Chance

Marcel Thomas, the French welter- weight, is anxious to meet Louis Bo- gash of this city at any time the lat ter will make 147 pounds in the afternoon of the bout, according to Gus Wilson, acting manager of Thomas, who hast rained Georges Carpenter for h1s latest bouts. Will son has seen Bogash in action and is of the opinion that the French welter can lick the local battIer.
 Several months ago the Bridgeport Athletic & Amusement Company an- nounced a card with Bogash and Thomas as the leading battlers, but for some reason or other this match fell through and nothing was ever mentioned about it. It might have been a case where the local club did not care to stage an event for the benefit of the public with the per formers taking all the money and the club paying the bills.
 Thomas was in Hartford yesterday to be on hand for his battle tonight against K. o. Willie Loughlin. He doesn't speak much English, but knows the value of American dollars better. Whether the Frenchman is capable of giving the local man a battle will be determined tonight.
 The Hartford Courant says Bogash is not of championship calibre. He has plenty to learn, the paper con in the running for the title. Although he may be making a big hit in and around New York, critics who have seen him work agree that Bogash Is not yet polished enough to seriousls , threaten Jack Britton's crown.
