What Do You Think
About When
Hitting Ball?

"What does the average
golfer think about when he goes
up to hit the ball?" asks Willie
Hunter.
He should think about keep
ing his eye on the ball, his head
down, a slow back swing, and
numerous other things, but
what he really does think about
are the income tax, the price
of coal, next months rent,
baseball, new tires, and other
things.
Oltentimes, when q golfer
misses his drive he probably
has just recalled that he left
his desk open at the Office be-
fore he hurried away for the
afternoon.
Other golfers think about the
people who are watching them
and are wondering what they
are saying about them. Judg-
ing from the expression on the
faces of golfers when they are
driving, one gets the impression
that they are thinking about
the best cure for a Jumping
toothache.

Dempsey Not Matched
: With Gibbons;
Nav Be Soon

Los ANGELES, April 49,
Announcement to the effect
that he had accepted terms for
a match between Jack Demp-
sey, champion, and Tommy
Gibbons, challenger, to be held
at Shelby, Mont, July 4, is
premature, according to q
statement by Manager Jack
Kearns.
Kearns did not deny the
match probably would be
closed, but stated he will make
no definite announcement until
he arrives in New York in a
week or ten days.
"The Shelby people have the
money and their proposition is
a splendid one, but / want to
get to my New York office and
check up on all other possibili-
ties before being tied down
with a set of articles" said
Kearns.
If the match goes through,
Dempsey will receive 100000
for his end of the purse.
Dempsey is contented to
fight someone, either in Shelby,
New York, Cleveland or in
New Jersey, July A, Kearns
added, but whom he will meet
has not been decided yet.

France will have the distinction
of having the youngest team that
ever played for the international
classic of the courts when you
realize that Jean Borotra, the
covered court champion of Europe,
is only twenty-three. Still he is the
oldest Of the trio that will represent
the French Republic.
Vincent Richards was scarcely
nineteen when he played in the
Davis Cup matches and Maurice
E. Mclaughlin was but little older.
La Coste, the new sensation of the
French courts, who holds the
singles title, is a lad of but seven
teen. If he starts he will establish
a record which will probably stand
for many a year to come.
Colbert and Decugis were to
France what BrOOkes and Wild
ing or BrOOkes and Patterson
were to Australia. They have
passed out Of the picture, and ii
may not be long before we will

Immediately. He has the satisfying
knowledge that in his record break
ing years Of 1920 and 1921, he failed
TO get going with the opening game
Indeed, he hit no home runs at
all in April Of 1920 and for time
was retarded as q terrible mis-
take. But when he started, the
result was an avalanche. And
there you have an example of
what the habit win do. He only

and getting five, all told, for the
month. Those five were the pre-.
else number by which he topped
his 1920 record of fifty-four, show
ing that Ruth is, or was, really a
elugger of rare consistency.
He was suspended for the first
six weeks of the 1922 season, got
away to an Indifferent start, drew
several more suspensions, finally hit
thirty-five homers, batted .125 in the
world series and was adjudged a
monumental bust" At that, his
average OF home runs for 1922 was
higher than that of any other hit
ter.
1t is conceivable that if Ruth
failed to get away running this
year, he might have lost all faith
in himself and finally the nicely
of coordination between mind and
muscle that makes his tremendous
hitting possible. He may yet do
so, If yesterdays hit was only
shot in the dark. That, however,
is improbable. The habit will be
too much for him.

SUNDAY BASEBALL BILL
DEFEATED AT HARTFORD

HARTFORD, Conn, April 49,
For the first time this session
House Leader John Buckley Of
Union lost the house when his bill
which would legalize Sunday foot
ball and baseball was defeated by
a vote of 139 to So. Republicans
and Democrats split on the issue,
124 Republicans and fifteen Demo-
Gratis voting against the bill and
fifty-six Republicans and thirty
Democrats voting for it.
While the prevailing opinion of
the house was against 1egalizing
Sunday baseball, 1t is not believed
that the house would be willing to
go to the other extreme of strictly
enforcing the present law. Cover
nor Templeton, in declaring that
he would veto the original bin IL
1t were passed, has expressed him
self as being in favor of leaving
things as they are.
