NEW YORK, June 30.-With Rogers
Hornsby coming as the nearest player
next to Sisler, ST. Lonis ought to es-
tablish a baseball college,
Babe Ruth is a great bali player but
he is not great team asset like Sisler.
Ruth is versatile but Sisler is more of
an all-round man. Sisler and Ruth both
pitch, play first base and i'm the out
field. Sisler can do them all better than
Ruth.
1t costs Dempsey lot of money to
live, there is no doubt He spends
enough on broiled steaks for his ken
mel to keep a miners s family.
Charley Comiskev is being taken by
the sages for sucker If he really paid
$l25,000 for Willie Kamm, third base
man for the San Francisco club. Major
league stars who PLAYED on the Pacific
Coast last winter, however, think that
Commv made a smart deal III getting
Kamm.
When the deal was made, Harry
Ifeilman, Detroit S champion hitter,
wired to a friend on the coast that
Kamm was worth more money and
that he had never seen a third base
man in his class.
Hornsbv, Sisler and Ty Cobb also put
their stamp of approval on him.
If Jack Dempsey and jess Willard
are matched for another fight and they
draw any kind of n crowd, the English
brothers who paid big money 10 see
Carpenter and Ted Lewis will be smart
in comparison.
Willard can t be any better than he
was in July, 1919, when he was beaten
to a pulp by Dempsey and the chances
are he viii not be in as good condition
as he was then.
Carpenter and Lewis We're more of
a real match than Dempsey and Will
lard would be. The English fans be
lieved that the Frenchman had been
severely hurt by Dempsey and that he
would be far from the man he was
when he fought the champion. They
believed that Lewis would have a
chance and he did have a bigger chance
than Willard would have against
Dempsey in another bout.
