Sport Comment
IN All Fields

Georges Carpenter is wavering on
his plans to return to Americas ring.
Yet Tex Richard, who has his con-
tract to fight Tommy Gibbons, be-
lieves he will.
After Georges went home prior to
his match with Dempsey the same
rumors floated across the Atlantic.
This time he has nothing to prove
except that he is the best man of his
weight in the world. The purse will
still be large but not a fortune.
But Georges word is his bond. He
has given his word.
Pitching
Pitching is about 60 per cent of
a teams strength.
High batting machines are often
down in the standings.
P%ittsburg, with a batting strength
around .290, is leading the National.
Pitching and all-round play has kept
them constantly in front.
In the American. Detroit, Cleve-
land and st. Louis are ahead of the
Yankees in batting In spite of the
smuggling of Ruth, Baker and Meusel.
Yet the Yankees are skating on the
icy top rung. They are getting bet
ter than average pitching for this
kind of a season.
Busters
There is a penalty in football for
unsportsmanship.
Rough playing on the grtdiron re-
suits in penalizing the offenders by
SO many yards.
In basketball fouls r. called on
uhsportsmanlike plays.
Why not apply it to baseball?
The intentional throwing of a ball
at a batter's head to drive him back
from the plate. for instance.
If pitchers knew they would be
penalized for busting 'em off. they
would exercise more care.
Surprise
W. J. Hunter, British amateur golf
champ, is hieing himself hither for
the American amateur tournament
to be held at st. Louis in September.
This Briton is the surprise of the
1921 golf eason
He was an obscure office clerk
until this spring when he played his
way through one of the toughest
amateur tournaments England eveI
had.
Critics say he is one of the mos
consistent players of the game now.
You know, Bobby Jones, Chick
Evans and Francis Ouimet were ir
the tournament which Hunter top.
