FINN EGAN

With the Honey Boy Finnegan-
lawson bout postponed until tonight
on account of rain, and until to-
morrow night If it rains again. local
fistic fans are preparing to turn
out for what likely will be the final
appearance of the Honey Boy in
this territory.
F'innegan is in the "big money"
these days, and Washington is for
tunate to obtain the services of the
"uncrowned king of the feather
weights" OF course, it is easy
enough to sign a topnotcher against
a pushover. That is so-called pick

pretty good fighter. Only recently
lawson whipped Billy PetrOIle and

MandeII, lightweight champion, at

Finnegan is the favorite in the
betting, although many ring sharps
are laying odds that the Honey Boy
does not topple the Milwaukee en-
try.

+ slider Ruth, a great ball player, a
dangerous hitter, a good base run
ner and an outfielder with an &C
curate arm.
OF course having been in the Ma
tiona1 League all my big league
life I've had few chances to see
Ruth in action, but I have seen
enough and his records speak for
themselves. He is a great ball
splayer A good many persons have
the idea that Ruth is just a slugger
and carried along for that reason.
That is far from the truth. Ruth S
fielding and his throwing and his
base running would make him an
asset on any old ball club, even if
he We're not such a dangerous man
at the plate. He always hustles
and that's one ofhis strong. points.
But Ruth is just a good ball play
er. He's no great menace that is
going to cause us to pitch four
balls every time he walks to the
plate. OF course if he comes up N
a pinch with a man on base. we'll
treat him like any other good hit
ter. We've walked weaker hitters
than Ruth during our National
league pennant race and we'll treat
him much as we would any other
hitter. We Alay walk some of the
other Yankees in the pinches. And
We expect that some of our batters
viii be walked as a matter Of
strategy.
rou know we have some pretty
good l1itferS OH our ball club,
men who will be far more dan
gerOns than Ruth, day in and
day out. We have some sure
fire hftters, men who always con-
meet with the ball. men to whom
every pitch is a pinch for the
pitcher and so why should we
lay out a special campaign of
safety first just because Ruth
holds the modern hOIne run
record?
In connection with the question
as to how we'd treat Ruth. / was
asked about time early in the
year when / fined a pitcher be-
cause he did not walk g. man when
he was ordered to do so. That
was early in the race and we were
playing the Cubs. 1t was close
game and I ordered the pitcher 10
walk Hack Wilson.
Instead 7 of walking him the
pitcher gave Wilson good BAH
and Wilson hit home run and
beat us. I fined the pitcher $50
and the incident created a great
stir.
But here's the inside of the at
fair, the way that / look at it.
This pitcher was supposed TO have
good control. He was and is A
major league pitcher. If major
league pitcher can't give batter
four balls when he is ordered to do
so. he should not be in the major
leagues.
have been asked if that fine
stuck. I'll say it did. 1t is the
only time / have had to fine any
of my men. And we all feel that
that fine helped that pitcher and
Z helped our club. The loss of $50
may have hurt the individual
financially for the moment. but
] believe he is better pitcher
today than he was before that
Incident. lie has done great
work for us since then and there
was never a complaint or a mo-

United States, not only 10 be shown
in city after city. but to yield again,
under M. Dumesnil's reverent fin
gers, the exquisite tones that
Chopin's own fingers once awakened,
the tones that made the composer
love this piano more than any other.
Dumesnil will play both on the
historic piano and on the modern
Chickering concert piano. The com
parison will bring us light as to
just how the great romance com
poser heard his own music. and
how. also. he may have dreamed
with the foresight of genius-of
what, the piano of today can add in
tone quality. The concert should
prove a rare musical experience.
Only the cooperation offered III
Dumesnil by the Chickering Piano
Company could have made the tour
itself possible.

obtained at the Arthur Jordan Piano
Company, home of the Chickering
in Washington. The League of

Both of them should so well in
the American Association. Koupal
was farmed out by the Pirates last
year to Buffalo and in the Inter

games. Tribe officials are elated
over securing the hurler.
Mueller was free agent last year
when signed up by the Pittsburgh
club. He was with the Pirates the
last couple months of 1926. He is
