Knitting home runs is on the same
principle as successful trapshooting,"
said Buck Freeman, now an umpire in
the American Association circuit. "You
must hit the center to get the breaks"
Buck is as well qualified to talk Of
knocking home runs as Babe Ruth,
the Yank slugger who has broken all
records this season besides establish
ing a new one last year. Freeman is
man below average height and his
home run record stood for 20 years,
or until Babe Ruth bobbed up last sea-
son. Ruth is almost giant in size.
Freeman, during his career rs
baseball player two decades ago, was

When Is home run not home runf
Catcher Charity Of the Washington
Senators can answer that question
without the least bit of hesitation. He
drove the ball into the bleacher seats
in the fourth inning with ShOrtstOp
Ellerbe, on first base. Charity was
elated at having whacked the ball out
of the park and in giving his team tho
first run Of the game. Little did he
realize what was in store for him.
He tagged all the bases and was on
his way to register his run, when sud-
denly Ellerbe, when Is feet from the
plate, happened to think he might not
have touched third base and started
back to tag it, not knowing that II
Charity passed him he would be au-
tomatically retired. Charity passed
him, thereby causing Ellerbe to be put
out. As there were two gone at tho

proves conclusively that hitting hOmo
runs means more than the giant
strength which frequently Is attrib-
uted to Ruth. Freeman. in 1890, made
his record of Is homers in one season
while playing with the Washington
club, then in the National League.
Conditions, too, have changed, CIV
ing Ruth an advantage over the con-
ditions that prevailed in the batting
days of Freeman. Ruth uses 68-ounco
bat 40 inches long, while Freeman
used a 80 ounce bat only 81 inches long.
Freeman probably could not have
welded such a large bat as Ruth'aI
which in itself Is good argument that
there Is something in the knack OF
hitting homers other than that of brute
strength.
