been true stuff. The great fielders
who were credited or discredited, by
the baseball reporters with getting
off with the crack of the bat got
off long before the bat cracked to the
impact of the ball.
The great boxer does not wait for an
opponent to start his punch. He starts
his punch first "beats him to the
punch.N SO it is in baseball. The
fielder must "get the jump on' the
batted ball, start for it before it is
hit. If he waits for hard hit ball
to develop direction he will not have
much time to cover ground on it.
All players should study this trick
Of getting the "jump' on the batted
ball. 1t is simple and can be acquired.
If the fielders know (and they always
should know what sort of ball the
pitcher is going to pitch, they will be
greatly assisted. A slow ball will be
pulled heavily. A fast ball will not
be pulled so heavily. But it is upon his
eye and his judgment that the fielder
must chiefly depend. When he knows
the sort of ball, fast, curve or change
of pace that is to be pitched he can get
q good idea of what will happen. Then
he watches the flight of the pitch, its
location inside or out, high or low,
catches the time of the pitch and of
the bat stroke and starts in the direc-
tion in which he judges the ball will be
hit. He does not need to start very
fast. He may just move in the right
direction. The fact that he has
started that way will help him
very much when the ball is hit
towards the spot to which his keen eye
and Judgment told him it would be hit.
''Gct the jump on the battcd BALI is
the first and most vital fundamental
of all fielding. You must beat the
crack of the bat by two or three steps

men means an entirely new infield A
new bunch must be drafted to fill the
gaps next year.
Schlossor is not perturbed, he says,
over this situation. He realizes the
necessity of a prolonged and rigid try
out next spring for large field of men
desiring TO land permanent berths on
the team. There are at least three or
four who will likely win positions in the
infield. Russell Kleigel, captain elect,
for the 1928 team, will hold down the
receiving end. Ross is conceded by val
lev ball fans to be the. best catcher in
these parts. Assisting him is Mcguire,
the diminutive and wiry gent who per-
formed in league style last season.

training is the only one of its kind in
the county. Every boy in the school is
compelled to. engage in some branch of

YANKEE AFTER JOHN
BULLS ONLY BOAST

NEW YORK, June S.--Since he has
lost nearly everything else in. the way
of title, John Bull can t be blamed
for putting u chest over the diamond
scull trophy which has been gathering
dust on a British shelf since 1897
The diamond scuIi is symbolic of the
best pair of arms and legs and the best
heart that sits in q boat
Since 1897 when E. II. Teneyck of
Worcester, Mass, won the trophy, the
evidence has been that the best man
in the world behind pair of oars was
Briton.
However, there was a fluKe attached
and it may be unfluked this year.
Jack Kelly. retired American sculling
champion, who won an unofficial
world s title at the Olympic games by
beating all the worlds best oarsmen,
was never allowed to compete for the
diamond SOULS because Jack belonged
to the Vesper Boat club i'll Philadelphia
and the British and the Vesper club
were not on speaking terms. f he had
rcnounced his club affiliation Kelly
would have been permitted to race for
the trophy, but he would not do it. He
Ndiueu Iol HIS cidhtc against inc
British oarsmen and he got it at the
Olympic games when he won II disting-
uished victory. Kelly has retired now,
but there is a worthy flag bearer ready
to step into his shoes, Walter Hoover
an oarsman and civil engineer of Du-
luth.
Hoover won the Philadelphia gold

American champion yesterday a n

CALLS BABE RUTH
JUST A BIG kid

SAN FRANCISCO, June 8.-Bable
Ruth is just a great big boy, according
to Wellington Cross, vaudeville come
dian, now playing the Orpheum circuit
on the coast.
Cross was Babe Ruth g team-mate dur
ing the BAN s vaudeville tour last win
ter.
"Babe is the most nervous man
have ever seen,' declares Cross. ''He
has to be doing something all the time
He can't stand still minute. That IS
the reason he goes through so many for
tunes. Money doesn It mean any more
to him than it does to young high

Babe bought boxes and boxes of cigars
and when we left, he left them all be-
hind him. He just bought those cigars
to be doing something Ruth was get
ting about $2250 week for his vaude-
vile stunt, and he must have spent it
nearly all every week.
"Babe is soft pickings. The boys
take him. He knows he's being
taken, but he keeps right on playing.
He's an incessant poker player, and
likes it best of anything next to bass
ballball. But he's no homerun hitter
in poker-as you might imagine. being
so easy going.
cit makes Babe very nervous to have
an appointment, and have to wait. The
longer he has to cool his head, the more
nervous he gets. When we were in
Washington, Manager Rawlins of the
Kieth theater fixed up an appointment
for Babe and several of us to meet
President Harding. When Rawlins
told Babe, the latter said:
90 Well, now, listen. Don't make
that date before Saturday, because I've
got Il lot of things to attend to-.
cit happened that Saturday morning
was the only time President Harding
could sec Ruth. When we went to the
White House Babe began to get nervous,
and it began to get more and more on
his nerves when he had to wait about
10 minutes in the ante-room, Babe was
frankly disgusted. AS q matter of fact
when we finally saw Harding, Babe was
so nervous that he wasn't as congenial
as anyone would have thought he would
be.
"HI IN glad to meet you, Babe, -
the president said. Judge Lands gave
you quite suspension. It's too bad
'Aw, I don It care,' replied Babe,

This is the prediction announced by

the grain prospects OF the world.
In discussing conditions in America,

The spring wheat crop will total 250,'
