The seasons home-run monarchs to
date-Babe Ruth Of the Yankees and
George Kelly Of the Giants-are dis
tinctly opposite types of hitters. All
they have in common Is the ability to
land with extraordinary power, the
ability to drag bat up to the plate
and q great yearning to slam the ball
to realms beyond.
Both get the leverage of height and
a long reach, but In different ways.
Ruth Is a left-handed slugger; Kelly
hits from the other side of the platter.
Kelly inclines more to left-f1eld hit
ting and Ruth to right-field hitting.
Kelly is freer hitter than Ruth,
in the sense that he will hit to all
fields much oftener than Ruth. He
makes some home runs to right, but
1t is seldom, indeed, that Ruth hits to
left for q homer or otherwise. He
jolts 'em to center-right often. how

Kelly, in the sense that he will hit all

GRASS TENNIS COURT
MUCH TOO EXPENSIVE
Hot Summers Make Turf Surface
Almost impossible.
Champion Tilden Believes That WORD
~ avn" Will Be Taken Out
of Game Before Long-Clay
or Asphalt Meets Favor.

William II. Tilden, III, world cham
pion, is among those who believe that
the word "Iawn" will be taken out or
tennis before many more years elapse.
More than 90 per cent of the tennis
now is played on clay or asphalt, as
the cost of maintaining turf courts
is entirely too expensive for most OF
the clubs which are situated where
the right kind Of grass can be grown.
In many sections the hot summers
make turf courts an impossibility.
Tilden, whose home is in Philadel-
phia, points out that at the German
town Cricket club, where the national
championship tourney will be held
this wear. at least 5000 will be spent
on keeping the turf in shape. A grass
court must be absolutely flawless for
championship play, and to achieve this
every inch must be hand-wOrked and
scrutinized under a microscope.
Turf courts are easier to play on
than the hard surface, the clay and
asphalt giving the players, rackets
and balls, greater wear and tear than
the grass. But the hard courts are
representative of tennis in a national
sense, as few Of the players, ever
among the topnotchers, have the ex
perience of playing on turf in any ex
cept the larger Journeys.
On thee Pacific coast, California
Washington and Oregon have eithel
asphalt, clay or composition courts
and on these the championship tour
naments are played. William Johns

few, go into the fertilizer part Of the
industry.
The greatest interest in this new
industry is being manifested in the
manufacture Of hides. Several Ameri.
can companies have been formed, and
much research work is being done at
present. The shark hides run from
an inch in thickness to the consist.
ency of paper in the baby shark. In
Seattle they are manufacturing hip
boots from shark hides and they are
declared to be completely waterproof.

RIGLER SAYS EMSLIE
IS RULE BOOK WIZARD

Bob Emslie, dean Of the Ma

rulebook better than the fellows
who made it, according to Cy
Rigler. He says:
Bob knows as much about
the rules as all the rest OF the
National league umpires put to-
gether. It is a mystery to me
that he wasn't consulted last
winter, when they were making
changes. After the commission
had made the changes, Heydler
asked Emslie for his opinion.
Bob told him that two of the
new rules were bad-the dead
ball rule and the one which re-
quires the umpire to judge
whether q home run Is fair or
foul from where it passes out
Of sight. These are the only
two rules that have been done
away with, so far"

of Canada and on private estates OF
the Pacific coast states that the grass
court is to be found.
After the initial cost Of laying an
asphalt court there Is practically no
cost for upkeep other than that OF
occasionally renewing the markings OF
the lines. A perfectly smooth surface
is obtained, so that there Is no chance
OF any irregularity, thus guaranteeing
an absolutely true rebound OF the ball.
