Put Babe Ruth on any kind of a club and his ability to slam out home runs wouldn't be impaired in the least.'
 Individual Shines in Baseball
 Eddie Collins in his day at Colum- bia was star quarterback. Today Eddie Collins is regarded as master of baseball strategy, one of the brainiest players in the history of the game. It struck me that Collins was the ideal player to have drawn a comparison.
 "A lot Of new stunts have crept into football since I played it." re- marked Collins when l asked him which he regarded as the more scien- tifc. However, the great love that have for football has caused me to keep up with the changes. The game has opened up great deal since l played and I really think it is more scientific today than it ever was. It is more necessary than ever to fol- low the ball at all times and look for anything. That makes for alertness.
 Baseball I think offers more pos abilities for the individual. Ty Cobb with his great speed, deceptive slide and keen brain, would have been a wonder on any ball club. The re- markable showing that Walter John- son has made with the Washington team, that has been consistent second division aggregation, further proves the possibility open to the in- dividual. Glass will assert itself ill baseball, regardless of conditions.
 Grid Glory Often Misplaced,
 In football there have been many star players who have shone with a brilliancy equal to Cobb on the ball

UMPIRES SAY EHMKE DID
 PITCH A NO-HIT CONTEST
Take Scorers to Task for Allowing Witt's Drive to Go as Hit,
 Not Error.

New York, Sept. 21.-Official SCOT CTS often take umpires to task as to | their decisions Seldom, however, do umpires have an opportunity to put the scorer on the pan.
 Recently in game at New York, Howard Ehmke of the Boston Red l Sox shut out the Yankees to 0, | allowing only one hit It is on this hit that the umpires disagree with | the official scorer
 Witt, the first New York batter to face Ehmke, sent a bounder to Third Easeman Howard Shanks. The ball struck Shank's glove, bounded against his chest, then dropped to the ground. Witt is a very fast man After Shanks had booted the ball several times, Witt was finally de- clared safe on a very close play at frst.
 The grounder was scored a hit by the official scorer. During the rest of the game not another New Yorker made anything that looked like a base hit.
 loHiHlS SoihOIly, NCtCNdn plS league umpire, who has been doing duty for 25 years in the majors and who umpired the game, has this to say about 1t:
 If ever a pitcher worked no-hit game, Ehmke did against New York. If ever an outfielder made an error, Shanks did on Wits grounder It was great pitching exhibition that will fail 10 get it's proper place-tn the hall of fame, because the scorer erred"
 Bill Dinneen, former star pitcher, now American league umpire, who officiated in the game with Connolly, said:
 T have made lots of bad decisions but never one that compared with scoring Wits grounder to Shanks a base hit. It was a bad error on an easy chance"
 Johnny Evers and Joe Tinker, for ner Cub star, who viewed the game, expressed the same opinion as the umpires.

 Next Week.

New York. Sept. 2i.-Harry Wills negro heavyweight title contender has been matched to fight Homer smith of Kalamazoo, Mich, in io' round contest at the Greensboro Sta, alum the night of Sept sI, The bou' will be of unusual interest not onls because 1t win mark Wills first fine appearance in a year. but also bee cause Smith, gained prominence by staying the limit of i0.round match with Luis Angel Firpo last Aug. s. al Omaha. Neb.
 smith was the first boxer 10 stay the limit with Firpo since the Argen- tine mauler's advent to pugilistie fame in this country. The Michigan fighter was knocked down almost at will by the South American. but man aged to weather the storm of blows until the last bell.
 Wills, unsuccessful in his proiraet- cd campaign to force Jack Dempsey into a ltle match. now has declared his willingness to meet Firpo io de- eide which shall be entitled 10 the next bout with the champion. But so far little progress had been made to- ward making the match for Wills has fatly declared he will not fight Fir DO in the Argentine while the South American battler already has signed with Promoter Tex Rickard to fight Wills next April in his native country.
 Firpo Is not anxious to don the gloves again before next spring or summer. but is insistent that if he fight Wills the bout be staged in fhe Argentine. Wills is holding out just as firmly for the match in this coun- try.

KID kAPLAN SIGNS
 ID BOX GOODRICH
Meridea Battler Will Exhibit in
 NeH York Next Friday.

Msriden. Sept. si,-kid Kaplan, the Silver City Cyclone. took another step forward yesterday in the magic realm Of .Fistiana and signed up for a bout with Jimmy Goodrich. the Buffalo sensation" at Madison Square Car den. New York. September gs. The local battler Is to eo-star on an all- star card and will meet within the hempen at i3i pounds over the tens round route.
 This bout has been simmering for little while now and would have undoubtedly been arranged before exc eept for the belief that the Buffalo benrcat was q bit too heavy for the local boy But Goodrich is to set down 10 weight and while we're men, tioning that we will state that he will also have to set down 10 business to stand up against the local youth.
 Goodrich jumped into the spot light recently by defeating Pal Moran. His manager and handlers see new fame ahead for him and are bringing him to New York after he has toured the sticks" for generous while. And Ii is with the Meriden battler that he is making his fall and winter debut for the pleasure of the fight fans Of Gotham.
 The Kid can scale the weight now at about isi pounds and has not idled his time away since the night he fought Tommy Noble and decisive ly beat him. An hour day keeps excess poundage away" seems to have been the local boys idea and this plan he has followed out well. Some fighters fail to keep in condition be- tween battles as faithful as does the local Cyclone" and with but week elapsing from now to the night when the referee calls the two to the center of the ring and gives out his instruc- tions time is valuable.
 Tracy Ferguson, another member. of Denny McMahon's stable of fighters who is training for bout with Young Sears at Boston Monday night, will work out with Kaplap until Monday when the latter packs his parapher- nalia and hikes to the big ttown to enter the final stage of getting ready for his bout From then on until the news is flashed back to the Silver City, the local boy will be very busy putting on the finishing touches.

field, but such players did not stand out on their own individual merit Invariably they receive much need ed assistance from their teammates In football, while the glory always goes to the man carrying the ball. often the real praise belongs to the men in the line or doing the interfer- ing"
 To get the viewpoint of football star just breaking into the majors, l picked on Mike Zazella of the New York Yankees. Gazella has gpeat promise as shortstop. At Lafayette last season. Gazella was one of the outstanding stars of the year. With ma jority of the critics he was an .All-American selection for the back field.
 Football, think, is the more in teresting to play" said Mike, at least it was to me. In football there is always something doing. In every play there is a certain thing that you should do, often there are sew eral things if you are able to accem- plish them. In baseball you often have to stand around for an inning or more without play coming your way. In fact, have often played in games in which I didn't have a single fielding chance.
 Tn football you always know what the other fellow is going to do and who is to carry the ball. There is close relationship between tlie eleven players on every move that is made.
 Baseball, to my way of thinking, is far more scientific. It requires much higher degree of individual skill" (
 That's that!

 Which Is the more scientific, foot. ball or baseball?
 With football about ready to break in the sport pages, and battle base. ball for space, itis an interesting and timely query.
 During the past month. l put the question to a score of former football stars who are now playing major league baseball. .
 Twelve of the players thought base ball was more scientific. called for quicker thinking, demanded more of the individual as an individual. Four leaned to football, while four thought it was about fifty-ffty.
 Practically every one of the players expressed the opinion that baseball offered greater field for individual supremacy. All were agreed that foot ball called for more concerted team play.
 When pitcher is a marvel like Mathewson or Johnson, such twirler would stand out in baseball if he was on the worst team in the world" said one of the former cpllegians in ex- planning his opinion. Place football star of equal ability on joke eleven and the gridiron celebrity would not stand out nearly so brilliantly
 Grid Star Needs Help
 "Football calls for defense. If one player has marked ability but is on a weak team, that player has little or no chance to shine when pitted against a strong team. Such situa- tion would mean in sense eleven players pitted against one, and take 1t from me the one, no matter how great star wouldn't even get start ed.

By john +. Me0Dury.
HE latest fad among people
to-day seems to be having
their teeth pulled out. A
man may have an 1887 mouth
but he wants 1928 set of teeth
in it.
Some people pay so much Tor
a set of gold n1Olars that they
have to lock them i'm the safe
when they go to bed.
One guy was going around
toothless. He told everybody
that his teeth We're in storage.
He put them in hook and now
every time he wants to chew any
thing he has to go down to the
pawn shop and eat it.
The guy who advanced him the
money on them isn't going to let
the teeth get out of his sight.
Everybody is putting their
money into dental work. It's
nothing to see q dollar and a half
face with a two hundred dollar
set Of teeth in it.
One guy had such a large
mouth that he had to get the
man who built the Panama Canal
to make his bridgework.
He had diamond put on. the
? end of every tooth and now he
goes around biting holes in
windows.
Another bird had so much gold
in his mouth that it looked as
though he had gone to California
in 1S49 and bitten into a mine.
Some false teeth are very salts
factory. A New York dentist
makes a set for a hundred dollars
which are guaranteed to do three
beefStealS an hour.
OF course the more soup you
eat, the more mileage you'll get
out Of your teeth.
But II anything goes wrong
with them, every dental office is
q service station.
Naturally, you've got to be
careful what you eat. A Chicago
guy stripped four teeth on one of
his wife's biscuits.
Its getting 50 that we've got
to take out accident insurance
On our bFidge.EOrk.
when people smile nowadays
you don't know whether they're
happy or just showing off their
new teeth.
One guy was 80 ashamed Of
having the same set Of teeth he
was born with that he kept his
mouth closed all the time.
Then when he bought q brand
new gold set he got married, and
now he won't ever be able to open
his mouth.
But the average person doesn't
use any Judgement. They will pay
three hundred dollars for q set
of false teeth and then they
haven't got any money left. to
buy food to use them on.
