1t is rather significant that this
country is entering upon a construc-
tive period when the chief news agen-

that class of news relating TO upbuild-

of these large enterprises keep in close

is given those subjects, in which, as
these news experts see it, the general
public is most interested.
Thus in recent weeks the Associ-
ated Press has carried a good deal on
its wires about the remarkable build

year. a few days ago another long

Florida construction records somewhat

gets the benefit of every ounce of his
weight-more than any slugger the
game has known he does this.
Kelly leans well forward and Ruth
does not, and Kelly's feet are further
apart. He has an awkward knee &C
ton, but has an advantage over Ruth
in that he can wait until the ball Is
nearer before starting his swing. He
doesn't bring the bat forward from as
far back, but whips in savagely with
the wrist, and thereby, plus excellent
timing, gets enormous power.
Ruth's Position Easier.
Ruth's feet are closer together than
Kelly's, much closer, with the left foot
in advance of the right. His position
at the bat Is the easier Of the two.
He holds the bat well, his arms back,
with the bat vertical. Kelly has the
bat pointing out backward, bat and
arms lower. With his wider stance,
he doesn't get as long a step forward
when about to swing.

His Play Around Keystone Sack

From the college campus direct to
the major leagues without previously
having seen a professional baseball
diamond is the unique record of ].
Riggs Stephenson, second baseman
with the worlds champion Cleveland
Americans.
Stephenson probably is attracting as
much attention as any player in the
big leagues. His play around the
keystone sack equals that of a vet
eran.
When Bill Wamsganss, unassisted
triple-play hero of the worlds series
last October, sustained a fractured
arm during the trip north from the
spring training camp at Dallas, Mana
ger Iris Speaker filled the gap with
Harry -Lunte, utility inielder. A few
days later Lunte wrenched his ankle
and Speaker found himself without q
second baseman.
Stephenson, who signed with the
Indians last spring, was attending the
University of Alabama. He was to
have joined the team when he finished

his studies in June. Speaker ex-
planned the circumstances to the uni
versity officials and his request that
Stephenson be excused until May was
granted.
A week before his leave Of absence
from college expired Stephenson
learned that neither Wamsganss nor
Lunte would be ready to play by May
l, and he notified Manager Speaker
that he had decided to remain with
the Indians all season. He will re-
turn in the fall to complete his course
In engineering and receive his degree

track and basketball teams and being
picked on All-SOuthern football, base
ball and track teams.
The Alabaman received a tryOut
with the Indians at Dallas for two
weeks. This was the first profession
al diamond he had ever seen. He re-
ported to Cleveland April II, the day
before the American league season
opened.
Up to this year Stephenson played
shortstop on the University of Ala
bama team. Sewell was the second
baseman, but changed to shortstop
when he joined the New Orleans
Southern association team. At Speak
er's suggestion Stephenson switched to
second base.

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 great yearning to slam the ball
to realms beyond.
Both get the leverage of height and
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-fie1u 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 a homer or otherwise. He
jolts 'em to center-right often, how
ever. Ruth is a freer hitter than

oftener than Kelly.

HOW BRICK OWENS GOT
HIS PECULIAR MONICKER

Few of the thousands of fans
in baseball who have seen or
heard of Brick" Owens, Amer

he acquired his monicker when
he was nineteen years old.
Neither do they know how he
acquired it, although many of
them may guess right.
1t all happened back In indie
pendence, Kan, when Owens
was umpiring in the old West
ern association. Brick" has
umpired since he was about able
to toddle, and he made his de-
cisiOns as fearlessly against his
home town team as he makes
decisions now.
In one of those tough decis-
ions Independence got the worst
end of the deal and an angered
fan hurled piece Of red mas
Onry, which struck Owens In the

Bob knows as much about
the rules as all the rest Of the

gether. 1t 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-
qufres the umpire to Judge
whether a 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"
