in a single game and in a double | header on June he scored total of three homers in the two games.
 At this time Ruth Is only one day ahead of his last years home run record. It does not look as though he will reach the seventyfivc hnm- CTS that he himself aimed for at the start of the season, and unless he cracks them out faster than he has been doing it is doubtful if he will do much better than his existing record, and perhaps he may not reach that mark.
 The "come back" made by Pete Herman when he regained the ban tam weight world title from Joe Lynch, reminds us that it is not the first time Pete has shown a remark able return to form. Back in 1914, ] before Pete was champion he was knocked out by Frankie Burns of Jersey City in the 18th round. Later when he won the title he again met Burns this time for the title and Pete won the 20 round decision. Her mans original defeat by Burns was due to his entering the ring when he was weakened by illness and he should not have fought.
 Hermans correct name is Pietro Gulotto and Is of Italian parents. He is twenty-five years old and was born at New Orleans. He has been fighting for ten years and originally won the title by defeating the holder, Kid Williams.
 We learn that the white-washed Black Sox and the jury that applied the whitening met in a Chicago cafe and celebrated the occasion throughout the night and until morn ing. As far as we have been able to discover they are the only ones who have expressed any appreciation  of the result of the trial.
 With three men who have held the American singles tennis title playing in this years national championship tournament, the affair will take on decidedly high class aspect. Tilden, A. INh. and R. Norris Williams. former hold CTS, all will be entered
 In winning the national champion ship one mile run six times, five of them in concurrent years, Joe Ray | has duplicated the feat of c. w. | Orton who won the event in 1892 to 1896 inclusive and then again in 1900. There is this difference.
 Every one of Rays times is faster than the Best time made by Orton. We note that George Kelly. of the l New York Nationals. whose name,
 for a time. was linked with that of
 Babe Ruth in connection with the l getting of home runs is no longer | coupled with the King of Swat | Kelly's present seventeen homers about three years ago would have

 The new broad jump world record
 made by E. o. Gourdin of Harvard
 with % feet inches will undoubted- 1 ly withstand all attacks for many year. The former record made | by O'Connor stood since August 5, 1901, which is just two weeks short of twenty years. It Is a strange CO., incidence that the two greatest broad | jumpers of the last three years have been negroes Sol Butler was another famous broad jumper and at the inter-allied games at Paris in | 1919 this negro got in an official jump of 24 feet 11A inches, just half an inch behind the world mark held | by O'Connor. Both Gourdin and But 1 Ter are wonderful all round athletes and both are good at a number of other events besides their broad jumping. Quite naturally they have
 phenominal speed on the flat and
 both can run the hundred and
 furlong in close to even time, while
 Butler has beaten events in the 220 yards more than once.

 his first sacrifice hit this year. Not
