gest puzzle.
In all his years with the Red
Sox and the Yankees, Ruth has
made SO home runs here. john
sen, having faced him the oftenest,
naturally has yielded the most
ten-since Ruth began compiling
his great record.
Tom Zachary yielded four
homers to the Bambino at the
Griffith Stadium, with George Mo-
gridge and Jim Shaw three apiece.
Olaf Erickson and Allan RUSSELL
each handed him two homers. He
got one each from Schacht, Fran
els, CoVeleskie, Ruether, Crowder.
Palmero, Marberry, Martina, Har-
per, Jordan, Robertson, Acosta,
Carlson, and Snyder.
I Fenway Park, Boston, with its
distant right-field stand, offers
the second most difficult hurdle
for the Bambino. He has made
but az homers there in spite OF
the fact that be played five years

Detroit is where the Bambino
enjoys himself. He has slammed
out 81 home runs at Navin Field.
Indeed, his longest drive, ire

field wall, is believed to have
been in Detroit.

To Luke A. Cassidy must go the
distinction of having put winter
racing on it's feet in a substantial
way. The sportsmanlike way that
he has conducted the last two meet

demonstrated beyond all doubt that
as fine grade Of sport can be had
in the winter.
In fact, the racing Is now con-

enjoyed during the summer months
in and around the metropolitan

FIGHT LOOMS
BY HENRY LEsEsNE
International seWA serYlce

RALEIGH, n. c., April Isl North
Carolina, like its little sister State.
South Carolina, probably win hear
some more about Sunday .blue
laws before so very long.
Anti-blue law forces are planning
to make a concerted fight against
the present Sunday observance laws
in North Carolina this summer, and
to stage the Sunday baseball test
case at Asheville, which was promised
last year, but never came off.
The fight against the so-called
blue laws In North Carolina viii be
made by the Association Opposed to
the Blue Laws, national organiza.
ton, according to Linn A. e. Gale,
Of Washington, ID. c., secretary
treasurer Of the organization.
Test Case May Start Soon
The test case at Asheville, Gale
said, would be started by. the staging
OF Sunday baseball game or movie
there. Should the spectators or par,
Elephants be arrested, he said, they
would appeal to the higher courts.
The delay in bringing about the
long promised Asheville test case,
Gale explained, had in no way
changed the associations policy.
North Carolina. however, appears
satisfied with its present Sunday OBJ.
servance laws of 1927, the General
Assembly having refused to change
them one way or the other, except
to please one county.
Representative Oscar HAYWOOD
former New York pastor and now
an evangelist Of Montgomery county.
n. G., made a very hard effort dur.
ing the session to put his blue law
bill through.
"Prohib" Bin Is Defeated
The bill would have placed the
Old North State in about the same
plight az, South Carolina, prohibit
ing the sale Of gasoline. smokes and
soft drinks on Sunday.
The legislature overwhelmingly
defeated the minister's bill In so far
as it applied to the State as a whole.
and the bill finally went through
amended SO as to apply to Mont.
gomery county only.
The campaign of the Anti-blue Law
Association, however, Is to further
modify the North Carolina statutes.
IN order to permit Sunday movies
and baseball games.
