Robert La Toilette is treating
the people of the United States

he were elected,-by now, an i'm
possibility-there would follow a
government of words. There is no
danger of his becoming President of
the United States. The voters would
never permit that. They will also
defeat his plan to throw the election
into Congress. But that is not
enough. In the interest of good
government and the continuation of
our institutions the Socialist third
party nominee should be admins

man will again core before the

H'hdt arc the chief classes of safe
hts
Answered by
GEORGE BURNS
Outfelder, Cincinnati Reds, batted
.213 last season. One OF the most
valued players in the national
game.
| should say that there were five
principal classes OF safe hits and
that they might be divided as fol-
lows:
l. Home run-the smashing blow
which goes into the bleachers or
over the fence.
, The long drive-a hard hit ball.
which may be good for one. two,
three or four bases.
;. The Texas leagucr" "a fly
ball just beyond the range of the
inheld and just short OF the range
of the outheld.
4. The bunt-a measly little tap
which depends principally on its sur
prise element and its difficulty in
handling for success.
S. The lucky inheld hit-this is
the one which hits a pebble or a
tuft of grass and defects or jumps
over the infielder's head on a
bounce. Of course, some inheld
rollers are hit SO hard that they
would go for safe hits without this
element of luck entering in.

25O-MILE AUTO RACE
EXPECTED THRILL

KANSAS CITY, July 4.-Sixteen
speed pilots, including the principal
figures in the automobile racing
game, face the starter this afternoon
in the 250-mile race of the Kansas
City speedway, with purse of $4,000
and points in the 1924 national cham
pionship as a prize.
Favorable weather conditions
brought the prediction that the world
speed record of 1l6 miles per hour
for a 250-mile race, made by Harlan
Fengler OF Los Angeles last Febru-
airy. would be broken. This predic-
tion was made in view of the high
qualifying marks hung up by the
entrants. the averages being from liz
to 1913 miles per hour.
The speedway is only fifty feet
wida, and the drivers are required to
keep within restricted course
marked by white lines. With sixteen
cars rocketing around the mile-and
a-quarter boards. these conditions
promise thrilling race.
l.. l.. Corum and Earl Cooper, with
$40 points each: Harlan Fengler with
the leading contestants for first place
in the national championship stand
ings, now held by Jimmy Murphy
winner in 1922. with 795. Five hun
dred points will be awarded to the
winner of today'S race. making 1t

drivers to take the lead.

JOE DUNDEE SCORES
OVER PEDRO CAMPO

Joe Dundee. Baltimore lightweight.
added to his laurels in Sportland
Arena last night by getting de-
cision over Pedro Campo of Phila-
delphia in a twelve-round bout, This
feature scrap of the benefit boxing
show staged by the Washington 40
and-8 Society was filled with action
from start to finish, with Dundee
generally holding the upper hand
but with the game Campo ralIying
frequently enough to keep his op-
ponent and the spectators on edge.
Dundee got in some deadly work
with his left hand early in the mill
and continually harassed Campo
with southpaw boxing. Campo came
to life in the tenth and the tide of
battle changed for time, but
Dundee had gained too great an ad-
vantage in the early rounds to be
troubled by the Philadelphian's late
comeback. At the finish Campo
showed many signs of the fray, while
Dundee was unmarked.
In a six-round semi final JOHNNY
considerably outweighed his Balti-
more opponent. George Leslie. was
given the decision. Young Mickey
of Baltimore Knocked out Johnny
Conroy of Washington in the second
round and Young Toney of Washing
ton stopped Mickey Brooks of Balti-
more in three rounds. Phil Ray of
Baltimore also won in three rounds
over frankie Stanley of Washington.

self "wound up" with sense of

complete sense of balance. The bend

IT would 6y right down to the ball.
fou let 1t start that way, then catch

and throw it right through the ball.
The player must always remem Der
to throw the clubhead out after the
