1Ru nisnatcl. y p. N.nnl


LOS ANGELES, May 13.-Charles
Hoff, Norwegian pole vaulter, under
temporary suspension by the A. A. u,
following his refusal to participate in
a vaulting exhibition in San Fran
cisco May 8, is in no condition to ap-
pear here Saturday even though the
ban were lifted according to the
findings of a committee of local ply
sicians who examined Hoff. The re-
port of the physicians has been for
warded to the foreign relations COM
mittee of the National A. A. U. and
should reach the committee before
Saturday when final decision of
Hoff's case is expected to be made.
The physicians making the exami-
nation of Hoff reported that he had
a subnormal temperature, blood pres
sure too high, a sprained ankle and
his general condition in such low
state that they advised the vaulting
viking to take a two weeks vacation
before entering into any strenuous
competition.

NEW YORK, May 13.-Two of the
most rugged young battlers now in
the limelight, Young Stribling of
Georgia and Johnny Risko of Cleve-
land, swap punches tomorrow night
at Madison Square Garden in a ten
round bout that has the fistic rail
birds guessing. Sentiment appears
likely to be evenly divided when they
step into the ring for a scrap that
has more than usual significance for
a on-championship affair. 1t marks
another bid for fame by Risko, who
has been advancing by leaps and
bounds in heavyweight prominence,
while Strib1ing's showing will have
an important bearing on his prospec-
tive fight with Paul Berlenbach for
the light-heavyweigh title at the
Yankee stadium June 10.
Stribling, just turned voting age,
gained a newspaper verdict over Ris-
ko in their only previous encounter,
a s16-round no-decision go last July.
Since then the 2OO-year-old Cleve-
lander has nearly knocked out Ber-
lenbach and given Jack Delaney rat
ting fight although losing the de-
ciGion.

will have an advantage of probably

packs a deadly wallop in either hand,
but the Georgia youth is expected to
offset this with his superior speed,

Babe Ruth Holding Up To
His Famous 1921 Record

NEW YORK, May 1S.-By driving
out two homers today and bringing
his seasons total to 10, Babe Ruth
reached an even footing with his pace
in 1921, when he garnered his record
crop of SO circuit blows. The Yankee
slugger must collect his 18th tomor-
row, however, if he is to keep up with
his record gait.
Since getting started, however, the
Bambino has been hitting for the cir
cult at an even faster clip this year
than he did five seasons ago. In 1921
he got his first homer on April 16,
but it was April 20 before he blasted
out the first one this spring. He has
collected his last six in nine days.

FIGHTING SPIRIT

Ty Cobb broke into the American
league in 1905. He is the oldest
active played in the league as to
service and years. bla
Cobb has seen a flock of athletes
come and go during his 20 years of
campaigning in the big show. He
has mingled with the stars of the
past and present.
Recently in discussing the failure
of several highly touted phenoms TO
deliver, 1 asked Tyrus how he sized
up the game of 20 years ago with
the 1926 vintage.
Its better in some ways, perhaps
not so good in others. It's an en-
tirely different style but the fans
like it and that is all that is neces-
sary.
THE hitting for several years has
dominated the game and with that
condition existing inside baseball has
suffered"
When I asked him if there was
any feature of play in which he
noted a decided difference, he an
swered thusly, almost before had
finished my question:
There was more fight in the old
days. A majority of the players were
more aggressive and this made for
keener competition"
must agree with Ty on that
angle, but have no solution to offer
for such a condition.

At that time Alexander was at the

thing, including side-arm fast ball
that fairly whistled as it sped to

Incidentally, there was the great
Rogers Hornsby as an extra incen-

was the champion batsman arrayed
against the old master. Some attrac-
tion.
1t didn't take but few balls to
convince me that the good old right
arm of Alexander had suffered from
the wear and tear of many hard
seasons. There was a bit of effort
rather than smoothness to his de-
livery but it was easy to see that he

He won his game, 80, and gave a

"The slow ball cuts down the
power of the batter because it has
a tendency to- upset him, keep him

getting toe-hold, because he is
never quite certain when the pitcher
is going to sdip over a change of
pace.
"The batsman need only meet ~
fast ball to get distance; the speed
of the ball helps supply the power.
On the other hand, when the batter
swings at slow one, all the i'm
