BROKEN HEARTED

Georges Carpenter went back ito
France, his wife and baby, with a
smile.
Bus that smile was only decoy.
Beneath the surface he was full of
gloom and disappointment.
Call it broken heart, if you wish.
Losing his chance to be heavy
weight champion Of the world was a
harder Blow than the one which
knocked an flat on the Jersey City
canvas. 49,
His dream of supremacy has been
shattered. Ee now knows that
Georges Carpenter was not a man of
destiny as he believed.
He knows he made fatal mistake
in rushing into the powerful arms of
Dempsey. he fought the wrong kind
of a battle.
All this he knows but he has made
no excuses.
A game fighter he was and Won
derful man he is.

GETTING THE BREAKS

Both New York clubs are threat,
ening the leaders.
They have been ever since the
season started. But here's a little
food for thought.
During the last month the Giants
and Yankees have been getting the
breaks. They have won lot of
games by a one-run margin.
This indicates they have latent
power in their pitching.
On the other hands both the Cleve-
land Indians and the Pittsburg Pr
rates have won their games by big
scores. The league leaders are bat
ting leaders, They have had fair
pitching, too, but they have dropped
most of their games by one and two
run margins.
1t is something to think about.
Teams that get breaks and have
the steadiest pitching win low score
games. Strong batting teams can
slump easily.
The thing all goes back to which
you prefer for pennant winners
strong batting or good pitching.

IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS
Why KELLY IS
TRAILING RUTH
He Bats AS Told, While
Babe Is Own
Boss
BY DEAN SNYDER.

Lanky George Kelly has fallen in
to the driftwaters trying to keep pace
with Goliath Babe Ruth.
But don't blame George entirely.
He does as he is told. Babe does
as he pleases.
There's lot of difference in that
when it comes to facing smoke balls
every day.
The Babe gets his privileges be-
cause he is essentially a fence-wreck-
er. His homerunning has been COM
i4ercialized by the Yankees. That
what fans pay to see him do. Hence
he gets the whole rope.
George is as good a hitter as Babe.
But he isn't a home run attraction.
He is a cog in the Giant machine.
John McGraw, from his perch in the
dugout, pulls the strings which make
George lay it down, hit-and-run or
swing for himself.
If you can imagine Big BAN bunt-
ing when the turn in the game de-
mands it, go ahead and imagine it.
But is isn't done. That's all.

Ruth's Seth Homer
Longest For Season

DETROIT, July 19.-Babe Ruth Of
the New York Yankees, made his
thirty-sixth home run of the year
Monday in the eighth inning of the
game with Detroit. Cole was pitch
ing for the Tigers, and one man was
on base.
The hit was the longest drive of
the season here, the ball going over
the corner of the center field fence,
and hitting the ground 500 feet from
the home plate. Ruth's former rec
ord for the season was 400 feet, the
blow being delivered at the Polo
grounds.

The dense fog rushed out of the
bags that Nancy and Nick and Mr..
Sprinkle-Blow had brought, and set
tied like thick smoke all through the
valley.
Farmer Smiths sass-patch, garden

swamp and the plum tree where Bid
dy Bantam was roosting $50 that she
could keep one eye on her nest hid
den in the hay stack You know she
was going to cluck verv soon, so she
found a safe place to keep her egg
until she was ready to sit on them.
Mr.. Moon, looking down with a
kindly smile, was ever so surprised to
discover all at once that he could no
longer see a thing that was going on
in the valley. He'd seen Fleet Fox
sneak out of the woods toward the
plum tree, and he'd seen Cutie Cot
tontail lon off toward the garden,
and he'd seen Chris Grow follow
Cutie, but now he couldn't see any,
thing at all. It was exactly as
though some one had laid a nice
clean white sheet over that part of
the world.
But Mr.. Moon wasn't the only one
who was surprised. Biddy Bantam
suddenly opened her eyes wide and
squawked, whats wrong? Where's
the hay stack gone that had my nest
in it? Where's everything gomez"
And she fiorped down out of the
plum tree into the fog. Fleet Fox
saw her go, but how could he fol
ow when he couldn't see two inches
n front of his sharp nose?

If John "Stuffy" McInnis were
called the best first baseman in the
major leagues few arguments would
be started.
For "Stuffy" is Just about that.
So far this year he has handled
more than $50 chances with but one
error. His fielding average is $3.50
plus.
He led the first basemen Of both
leagues in fielding in 1920 with an
average of 1876. His record in 148
games was 1886 put-outs, 81 assists
and 7 errors.
