Right there as ! figure It. Bob
put his finger on the real secret
Of hitting. ! never did believe in
trying to uutguess the pitcher. The
minute you do that you're giving
him all the best Of it-for he
knows what he's going to do end
you're just guessing.
NV idea Is to hit 'ent when
they're over, whether they're

ers. Those fellows nine times
out Of ten can't tell you
whether It was q curve or q
fast one they hit. ALI they
know is that it was sin there"
and they sOCked IL.
I had letter from a fan the
Otfler day, asking me what kind
Of ball / hit to make home runs
and what pitchers found the
toughest. The answer to the first
part is that make home runs on
pitches that come where can
hit 'em. And as for the toughest
pitchers all / can say is what I
told one OF the newspaper men q
few days ago.
When I'm in a slump they're all
tough. and il I'm out on a hitting
streak I'm apt to hit any Of 'em.
Walter Johnson was kidding me
4 few days ago about hitting home
runs. ] don't know whether folks
realize it or not, but I've made
fewer home runs In this city than
in any otAsef park in the country.
Washington pitchers than off the
know why that is. Griff Stadium
ought to be fairly easy. Right
field IL pretty close and the hitting
conditions are good. But somehow
can't seem to get hold Of EN-.
Here's another funny thing, too.
I've made more homers off walter
than any other washington pitcher.
He's my pet. and I kid him q lot
about it.
While talking to Walter he said
swell, Babe, I suppose you're out
to break your 1921 record this
year,"
AS q matter of fact I don't
suppose I will. That was a pretty
good record and a fellow can't
sock So l1omers in very many
seasons. But there's one thing !
would like to do. I'd like to hit
500 homers before I quit playing.
i've got S66 now, and / believe I
can get the rest Of them before
I'm through. And II I do I'll be
satisfied. Maybe sometimes there
will, be some chap coming along
who can break that record but I've
got a. bunch it will be long time.
Speaking of home runs, here's
another funny thing. I've had
better luck hitting against Detroit
pitchers and in the Detroit park
than anywhere else. George Dauss
has been my pet victim, don't
knew why. 1t isn't that George
isn't good pitcher. for he is. And
it isn't that he can't fool me for
he has struck me out lot of
times. But somehow it seems that
overtime do get hold of one on
George 1t goes out of the park.
Funny isn't it. But it's like
everything else in baseball. You
can't account for it. It just hap

does and will.
Richard reached an under

week through the medium Of

wouldn't be surprised II he was;

The only trouble is that Rick.

der whether he wasn't talking
about the gate and not Dempsey's

he now fears that Pauline, having
been taken for a ride by too many
sport critics, won't be regarded
with sufficient seriousness as
Dempsey's opponent and that he,
Richard, will be left holding the
old satchel.
It is my information that he
has communicated that fear to
Dempsey; also the inferred sugges-
ton that Jack take a shorter
price, with the inevitable result.
Dempsey, II is said, came back
with an inquiry as to who started
the talk about Pauline in the first
place.
Dempsey has looked down the
some time and has made no secret
Of the fact that he doesn't think
the Basque 10 worthy of his atten-
ton at this time or any other. He
let Richard In on the secret two

As it Is, Richards program now
calls for Dempsey to fight three
times in three months, which, in
truth, is laying 1t on lavishly when
the fact is considered that Demp-
sey has fought only six times in
the last nine years.
However, there IL too much
