In that year, he got his sixteenth
on June 3, so that, on the face. of
things, he has a four-day Jump on
the game. This fact has served to
revive the notion that George might
better the magic SO of his greatest
year. The writer doesn't think he
will.
OF course. 1t is a good bet, either
way, but before you start laying
your apples on the counter, it
might be well to consider the sit
uation, in toto. Ruth is four days
ahead of the 1921 schedule but, in
this case, we deal not with days
but games. He is only one game
to the good over 1921, for in that
year he hit his sixteenth during
the forty-third game Of the season
while Yesterday the Yanks played
their forty-second.
So much for games; now for
places.

ON HILL

The Boston Red Sox end their
second visit to the Griffith Stadium
today and may be depended on to
make a hot fight for an even break
In the four-game series. They will
run up against Hollis Thurston, who
has been right successful this year
with the Griffs, and may find him
troublesome. Either Bryan Harriss
or Harold Wiltse is expected to fling
for the Bostonians.
The Griffs slept wonderfully

The fundamental blow in boxing Is
the left jab, or straight left-hand
drive for the face. Therefore, it is
necessary to keep the left hand fairly
well extended as shown in the Illus.

ton to take advantage of any open
ing your opponent may leave and
Jab the left to the face. Further.

The left hand, held in such a

where You can jab II quickly and
effectively at your opponents

st6le for you to block or brush
aside any right hand punches
