BATTING TAKES
ON A SLUMP
Big League Pitchers Seem
To Be Rounding Into
Form
BABE RUTH HITS
TWO "HOMERS"
Most of the Leaders Fell
Off In Their
Averages

Chicago, June 25.--Old king Sol'
has been very mucr in evidence in the
baseball world d ,ring the past week
and his warmth apparently has
brought pitchers who were slow in
rounding into condition back to their
stride. As a result batting has snf-
fered materially.
Babe Ruth, who was on home RIM
batting spree week ago, made two
circuit drives during the past week,
and brought his string to 25. In the
National league "Irish" Meusel Of Phi
adelphia failed to add to his mark Of
IL circuit drives. Jack Fourier of st,
Louis, however, managed to get Two,
bringing his total to nine, which puts
him in tie with George Kelly of New
York, who has not made round trip
blow for several weeks.
The warm weather also is helping
the base stealers.
Harry Heilman, the Detroit slugger,
continues to top the batters of the
American league, with an average OF
ala, according to averages released to-
day and which include games of Wed
nesday. However, Heilman's mark has
dropped II pointssbelow that of week
ago. Iris Speaker, pilot of the worlds
champions, who is the runnerup, also
slumped and now is hitting .403, eleven
points below his mark of a week ago.
Ty Cobb dropped only two points, and
is in third place, with .S96, while
George Sisler, the st. Louis star, lost
Is points and is tied for fourth place
with SEVERED, team mate, at .377. =
Sisler Is out in front among the base
stealers of the junior major circuit,
with IA thefts, while Harris of Wash
ington is trailing him with 10.
Other leading bstters: Ruth, New
York, .37l, Williams, St. Louis, 357;
Charity, Washington, 1885, R. Jones,
Detroit. .354; E. Collins, Chicago, 1853.
In the National league, Rogers
Hornsby added three points to his
mark of a week ago and leads the reg
ulars with an average of .4l9.
Nicholson of Boston did the best
hitting OF the week, however. the east
erner boosting his average from .34l
to $3.50. He now ranks second to Horns
by. The st. Louis club possesses most
of the leagues sluggers, for McHenry
with 1882, Mann with 1913 and Four
nier with $40, all of st. Louis, come
next in the batting standings.
Other leading batters: Young, New
York, 1858; Bressler, Cincinnati, 1853;
Rousch, Cincinnati, 1858; Johnston,
Brooklyn, $40; Meanwhile, Pittsburgh,
.34s; Grimes, Chicago, .347.
In stolen bases Carey of Pittsburgh,
who has been among the leaders for
years, is having tight tussle with
Frank Friseh, the New York young
ster. Each has stolen Is bases. South
worth of Boston is not far behind with
II stolen bases.

LIGHT WAGERING
ON BIG BOUT
Despite the Interest on Two CONT
nents That Promises to Eclipse
That Evidenced in Any
Previous Title
Battle.

New York, June 25.--Wagering on
the Dempsey Carpenter bout for The
worlds heavyweight championship at
Jersey City, July 2, is extremely light
despite interest on two continents that
promises to eclipse that evidenced in
any previous title battle. Both men
have numerous admirers who, as vet,
have failed to back their opinions with
much money. Stimulated wagering is
expected on the eve of the bout with
a probable inflow of currency from
France.
According to figures at which some
money has been wagered in Wall
street, Jack Dempsey seems likely to
90 into the ring on odds on favorite
at three to one Although in past bouts
for the title the champion almost in
variably has been the favorite, not
since the Sullivan -Corbett battle has
the titleholder been so strongly IA
vored in a bout of major worth. Sulli-
van was a four TO one choice over
Gentleman Jim" Willard was two
to one favorite over Jack Dempsey
when the challenger won at Toledo.
Jim Jeifries entered the ring favored at
two and one-half to one to beat Jack

before he met Jess Willard at Havana,
was a three to one favorite but these
figures shifted as the day of the bout
approached and the negro climbed into
