BABE RUTH
OUTF|ELD HARD lob

What outfield are you going to pick
for your Babe Ruth All-American
team?
This question is n prszler to many
fans. Averages arc not the only thing
to be considered in making your pick
for any position. Everything must be
taken into consideration in making
UP a real championship array, and
that is why the fans who attempt to
match their wits against the expe-
rience of Ruth must not make hap
hazard guess if they hope to be src-
cessful in winning the Gosh prizes Of
fered by The Light in the contest OF
which Babe Ruth, the judge, will. be
assisted by some of the best sport
writer's in the country?
The man who at first blush would
say that an outfield made up of Cobb,
Carey and Heilmann is the greatest
first must look into the records and
see whether these stars have lived up
to their past greatness this season or
whether some younger star hasn
done enough to crowd one of them out
of the picture.
The reader who makes his sclec-
ton without thinking carefully may
find himself outsmarted by some of
the others. This same rule may apply
to first base and any position on the
nine.
Remember, the Babe Ruth Contest
has only few more days to run and
that your selection must be in this
office not later than the night of Sep
TENDER 4 to be eligible for considera-
ton. Already hundreds of selections
are in and this years number Of con
testants promises to surpass that of
last season when The Light inaugural
cd the competition which proved so
popular that it took the Babe Ruth
Editor and a corps of assistants sew
eral days to check up on them.
All that you have to do to have your
team entered is to fill in the COUPON
printed elsewhere in this paper or any
Of them printed daily as per instruc-
lions accompanying it and perhaps
you'll win the $50 first prize.

GOLF CUTS JONES' 4 9.

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 2S.-Bobby
Jones, here to defend his title of ma

istic that he will retain the laurels
won at Merton last year. Pitted

"Onc can never tell what is going
to happen in a golf match; there are
at least a dozen in this tournament
who have better than an even chance
to beat me-" Jones said. There is
no such thing as a golf championship
monopoly. That is the reason golf is
the game it is and so popular with
the American public. The uncertainty
is what holds the interest. If one
player could win year after year, golf
would lose much Of its fascination.
Golf is not like baseball. In a
golf championship you have only one
tournament: in baseball they play 154
games and that is where class will
tell. If there were 100 golf matches
a season to determine the champion
ship it might be possible for a cham
pion to hold a title longer.

the former Californian, Babe Herman,

much to do with the referees de.

nation revealed that Kaplan had suf.
fered a broken finger in the eighth
round. Kaplan said that after the
eighth he had been able to- use his
right hand only as guard.
In this sixth meeting between the
two men there was much clinching and
dancing and few clean punches were
landed. Herman fought his usual
standup battle, while Kaplan appar.
entity had little Of the driving power
he showed in fighting his way through

reached a point where their
names were carried on the
