pinch HITTER HAS
THE TOUGHEST JOB
Most Difficult Role in Baseball
Hornsby Says

St. Louis, July Displaying pinch
hitter is the toughest job in baseball"
So says Rogers Hornsby, premier star
of the National League.
There may be some soft jobs in
baseball but pinch hitting isn't one
of them" continues Hornsby. Il am
content to play regularly rather than
earn my salary by going in as pinch
hitter when the occasion demands.
ut is hard enough to hit 'em safe
when you are in the game every
day, playing regularly. It's some
tough job, believe me, to get off the
bench cold and step into the breach.
realizing that much depends on Your
ability to come through with a base
hit.
Don't overlook the fact that the
good pinch hitter Is invariably called
upon in the crisis only. He is saved
for the big moment where often a
base hit means the old ball game.
The pinch hitter is always up in the
crisis.
THE toughest thing in the world
is to make a base hit under pres

giving you everything in his assort-
ment. The pinch hitter is always
looking at what the opposing pitcher
has in reserve, just wee bit more
speed or a trif1e faster breaking
curve.
Never until my recent injury did
/ realize what job the pinch hitter
really has. When recovering from
my injured leg I several times went
to bat in a pinch and. believe me.
the feeling is much different than be-
ing in there regularly
Most ball players will say Amen"
to Hornsby's expression relative to
the pinch hitting job. yet there are
players who seem to thrive on it.
At present Elmer Smith of the
New York Yankees by his timely hit
ting has just about won the title of
King of the Pinch Hitters.'

JOE LYNCH LOSES HIS
LAURELS IN NEW YORK
Joe Burman of Chicago Is Made
Champion BY New York
Commission.

New York, July 1S.-Following its
policy of holding ring champions to
the letter of the New York boxing
laws, the state athletic commission
yesterday dethroned Joe Lynch OF
New York as bantamweight title
holder, for failure to accept within
six months the challenge of Joe Bur-
man, of Chicago. simultaneously,
Burman was elevated to recognition
as 116-pound champion in this state.
The decision came on the heels of
announcement that Lynch and Bur-
man had been matched tentatively for
a title bout in Madison Square Gar
den in September. Eddie Mead,
Lynch's manager, also was placed un-
der official ban.
Lynch was the second champion
within a few weeks to be deprived Of
title recognition here. Mickey Walker
of Elizabeth, N. j., the welterweight
titleholder, was ousted recently for
failure to accept a challenge from
Dave Shade of California. who was
awarded championship recognition as
a solace for failure, to obtain his title
match.
An echo of Walkers disbarment
was the indefinite suspension of Nate
Siegel, for boxing Walker Monday
night at Newark, N. j., while the lat
ter was under official ban. Siegel
was knocked out by Walker.
The commission puts its stamp of
approval upon the worlds middle
weight title match scheduled at the
Polo Grounds, Aug. 81, between john
ny Wilson of Boston, the champion,
and Harry Greb of Pittsburgh. This
was brought about by Wilson's for
NAL acceptance of the former light
