Tyrus is showing his men how to hit.
and this has carried him past George

Nose Out Blues
With 9 of II Matches
on Meadow Lark Links
Mackey' Men Enjoy Chicken Dinner After Fray
at Expense of Losers; Good Golf Seen
During Contests.

Nosing out the Blues by a total OF
nine matches to eight, Captain I. NJ
Mackey's Reds took the long end OF
Saturdays golf match on the Meadow
Lark Country club course. This va
the second of this seasons intramural
combats, the Blues having annexed
the initial tiff a week previous.
So it was the upholders of the
Crimson standard who enjoyed a hard
won chicken dinner which was served
in the cool of the country club dining
room at the conclusion of the matches.
And the matches were all played over
again over the dinner table, with
strident outlaws from the victors and
rueful smiles from those who had not
been SO fortunate in the earlier play.
Good Golf Displayed
There was some good golf displayed,
of a caiiber which bodies we'll for the
cubs chances when Lewistown re-
turns the recent invasion, and for the
state melee which occurs in a matter
of 10 days at Anaconda. Mackey, as
captain of the Reds, set a noble ex-
ample for his %henchmen by taking
Hicks, leader of the Blues and 1921
club champion, into camp to the tune
of 3 up. Even more successful was
Newton, reckoned as sort of a right
bower to the Red skipper, who dis
posed of Williams with a convincing
lead of seven holes at the home green.
Many of the matches, of which there
were II in all, were nip and tuck all
the way and not decided until the last
putt rang in the cup on the eighteenth.

New York, July 20.-The baseball
fans are seeing right now the creates
exhibition Of batting by individual hit
tiers eager eyes have ever Toasted on
In the past, one league or the othel
has had one hitter who set a pace
defying precedent, but never before
have two hitters been smashing bang
ing and slamming the ball in the man
ner in which Sisler and Hornsby have
been spelling the white hosehide GOV
ers this summer
Each of them has the possibility OF
making new records for batting. There
are condolences in this situation. Each
major league is represented and each
st. Louis team is represented. Each
type of batter is represented, as one is
a left handler and the other a right
handler. Both men are playing on the
same home field, SO there can be no adj
vantage in that respect, and both play
in the same field in New York. Never
have hitters been so evenly matched
so far as general conditions are con-
cerned.
The record for the most hits in a
season in the National league is held
by Willie Keller, who made 243 in
cCb LIS lOLdI UdSCS WCIS .Dtf DuI
Lajoie hit for 800 total bases the
same year, although he had but 1913
hits in all. Willie never cared much
for busting fences. He liked to stand
the first baseman and the pitcher on
their %cr:niums. The record Cor the
..ost hits in a season in the .i,cerican
league was made by Sisler IN 1870
when he compiled 257. Ills total bases
were :3"J. made up of 40 two -ba:gegs.
IL triples and 10 home runs Some
difference as compared wiTn Nee;cr's
record, but while Sisler can L,t them
ont better than Wee Willie. he can
not bunt better than Keeler i'd. Trey
are Lot l%utting players on tho diamonds
these Gays who can do that.
Denny Lyons Record
The most hits made in a season by
a single player was made by Denny
Lyons in 1887. who played in the
American Association and hit safely
2S4 times. LYONS could outhit Keller
and probably Sisler also and he might
have outhit anything that ever wore
a flannel uniform if he had been more
careful of the amount of malt extract
he put away. The records of Lyons
extra base hits are not available. They
did not keep them in the early days.
Knowing that some young man
would be trying to beat out the old
timers nearly forty years later. 1t is
safe to say. however. that Denny had
his share of home runs and triples.
for he was a mighty clouter.

NOT SURE
BENNY LEONARD IS
WORTHY Of CROWN
Lew Tender Adopts Watchful
Waiting Policy for His
Future Action,

New York. July 29.-Ever since the
Lconard-Tendler battle the critics have
been arguing over the future of the
lightweight champion of the world. Not
even his friends claim that his showing
against Tender was satisfactory. What
everyone now is trying to determine is
whether Tender is right up in the class
of Benny at his best or whether the
champion is seeing the end of his days
as a legitimate lightweight.
His showing against Rocky Kansas
at Michigan City when he was not re-
CURED to make weight defined him as
AL. But last Thursday night he looked
frail and it is an even guess whether
his fatal right lacked steam or whether
Tenders ability to take wallops is
! equal to that of the well remembered
Battling Nelson. If this is the case. it
is a new quality acquired by Lew. who
in the past has been known to go to
the floor when hit by men inferior to
himself.
Insiders are freely predicting that if
Benny has it in him to stow away
Tender it will have to be a match at
catch weights. At the same time it has
not escaped notice that at the light
weight limit Leonard has not lost the
capacity to weather hard w~allops. Yet
he might by the next time the two men
meet. In fact. some of Tenders
friends are suggesting that he wait a
year before tackling Benny again. Age
is on Lewis side and in a period of Il
months it is argued that Benny's hit
ting at the lightweight limit would show
further deterioration. while all the
chances are that he would not be able
to absorb all the blows he accepted
in the battle.
Leonard, by the way. is likely to run
up against another stiff proposition
next Saturday in Floyd Fitzsimmons'
big Michigan City arena when he goes
against Ever Hammer. the blonde
lightweight who gave Leonard a hard
battle out west two or three years
ago. Hammer is the Harry Greb type
of mauler and has gained in strength
and in skill since last he laet the cham
pion. Hammer says that his motto is
box a fighter and fight q boxer. Put
ting Leonard in the boxer class. liam
mcr say he intends to keep on top
of him every minute and make him look
like Harry Greb made Tommy Glib
bons look. Since July of last year
he has fought IA battles and won them
all-three via the knockout route.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-07-30

Good as Hammer may be. however, the
chances are that with NO necessity Of
tipping the beam at 1875 pounds. Leon
ard will be in every way his old self.
Getting back to the battle of Leon
ard and Tender. the question may be
asked whether Leonard would again
consent to meet Tender at the limit
of the class. Those who answer this
question in the negative are talking on
the assumption that Benny was not
holding back his punches Thursday
night. If he wasn't. then it is per
fectly a cinch that Leonard will shortly
retire from the lightweight division and
60 after Jack Britton and the weller
title. But if he was wearing manacles
with Tender then we may look for a
fall battle at the New York veledrome.
this time with the manaclcs resting
home in the family trunk.

'D0PESTERS' WATCH
ADVANCE Of WOMEN
IN WORLD Of SPORT
Entrance of American Girls in
Paris Athletic Meeting
Marks New Age.
BY WALTER CAMP
Special Correspondent of Great Falls Tribune

Copyright, 1922. Bv The Great Falls Tribune.
New York, July 29.-The creates,
event of the year, from a human stand.
point. will be the entry of a team OF
American athletes at the track
and field meet for women to be held
next month in the Pershing stadium
Paris.
International competitive athletics for
our girls would have raised a storm OF
protest not many years ago. and as for
our ancestors. the idea would have been
simply u~nthinkable. Yet here is
team Of some II American girl ath-
letes sailing abroad to try their Prov
ess on track and field against picked
women of other nationalities.
A great many estimable persons are
evidently under the impression that
these girls are of the type that com
baseball teams and bicycle riders.
from our best schools and colleges.
Miss Batson and Miss Mead are under
graduates at Smith college. Miss
Slime is from the Leonia, n. Y, school.
Miss Sable and Miss Gilliland are New
Jersey normal school girls. Miss Ethel
Walker is from the Ethel Walker
school of Shrewsbury, and Miss Hard
wick is a student at the Florida State
college. One strange thing is that no
girl whose home is in New England is
a member of the team.
There is little reliable information
concerning the best record of the for
eigners. Whether they are good or
mediocre remains to be seen. AS ?
matter of fact, there has been so little
competition in track and field events
among m that it is difficult to
Judge whether we are sending over
likely winners or not.
So far as u own success goes. the
girls selected show decided class. More
over. they have been working under the
direction of DIR. Harry Easton Stewart
and Miss Rosenbaum and have shown
marked improvement. Miss Slime. for
instance. is credited with SO feet, 1Oh
inches in the hop. step and jump, and
close to IS feet in the broad jump.
Miss Voorhees, has cleared 4 feet. 913
inches in the high jump. Here. apart
from all question Of records and win
ming or losing the meet in Paris, We
have a tremendous upheaval, or what
promises to be an upheaval, in the lives
of girls the world over
1t follows the emancipation of wom-
en- in civil life. 1t will be. severely
criticised and greatly praised. Some
will call it unfeminine. others will pic
ure disastrous physical results. But
we can only wait. watch and study
the effects and then draw conclusions.
The future may hold much of sig
nificance. Does it mean that within
a decade women's college and girls
schools will be in the same competition
with our young mems schools and col
leges and schools? Who can say1

would have increased his record mater

AT the rate Hornsby is going, figur-
ing both by game and by single chance,
he would beat Keeler's 243 hit record
this year. HOrnsby is now hitting at
the rate of 242 hits with everything
from this on in his favor than worse.

he had his slump earlier in the year.
Now we come to a rather surprising
display of Sisters skill. He is going
at the same pace he set in 1920. If
he continued to bat at the same rate
as at this moment he would have 257
hits at the finish of the season, and
that is the exact number he made in
1920.
1t should be easier for SisIer to gain
a margin over 257 hits than for Horns
by to surpass keeler's record. because
Slsler has the advantage of getting
away from the batter's box on the first
base side.
If, in every ten times at bat between
now and the end of the year, Hornsby
n Sisler can make one more base hit
than they have been making in ten
tries. the fans should get out the
finest exhibition Of batting the major
leagues ever saw in the year. If the
feats should 60 into the superlative
class. all of the famous old .slickers who
have left memories behind would lose
out.
Good Chance for Glory
Much argument is heard about great
hitters because of the savage attack
Ruth has made on the ball. but how
many of those will laud Ruth for his driv-
ing power ever saw Dennis Lyons? He
knocked down third basemen with his
drives. not ono but repeatedly. At
least a quarter of the time he batted
the ball to left field with such speed
a slow fielder could hold him on
base. The ball was out to the
fence by the time Lyons was two
thirds of the way. and it was no trick
keep him from going on to second
with that handicap against him.
No two batters ever had a better
chance to establish a worlds record
than this pair of young men whom the
fans of st. Louis laud morning, noon
and night. 1t will pay them to make
such a record. for even if they are not
at the moment in cash. il is
how recollection of such
achievements crop out when con-
tracts are considered for the future.
If each should succeed in establishing
league record for the hits, st. Louis
would bubble over with pride and even
the biting Babe Ruth with his home
record attached to him would fail
to attract more attention for the mo-
ment. He is a little out of the lime
light. anyway.

Stand Good Chance to
Take the Game.

The Woodmen stand a good chance
to beat the Electrics this afternoon in
the second game of a double header
at Earring park, due to the support OF
Ted Judge behind the plate. He will
undoubtedly keep nan Electrics or
first. once they get there, If his arm
is working as keenly as it usually does
Schrupp made a good showing on the
mound against the all-powerful Eagle
team last week and the same tossing
should win him a game this afternoon.
The first game will be between the
Eagles and the Elks. The probable
outcome of this game is surmised by
nearly all who have followed the city
league schedule this season. With
Remneas pitching it will take nothing
more than wonderful fielding and bat
ting to beat him.
Remneas Sure Mar
Fans of the city have always con
coded Remneas as the best twirler in
the league and it is a sure bet that
he won't hurt his present reputation
any,. However. Dimpke. who will toss
for the Elks, is scheduled to make the
latter sit up and take notice and they
undoubtedly will have to do so.
The games will start promptly at
2 o'clock and it is promised by man
ayers of the teams there will be no
long period of time between the games.
