Though reported to be visibly
slowed up because of Illness, the
Babe is carrying on as best he can
with the 1923 champions. 1t has
been learned on good authority,
however. that barring the unfore-
seen, this viii be his last year in
baseball.
Out Of the lineup for three weeks
recently with what was diagnosed
as a cold, it is said that he is in
reality suffering with an over.taxed
heart which is affecting his work.
While the amazing Ruth did a
spectacular comeback in the Phila'
delphia Athletic series at the Yam
kee Stadium last week by clouting
out two home runs that broke up
one of the games, he has failed in
every way to deliver in his accus'
toned fashion.
Whereas he once followed
through with that terrific
Ruthian body swing, he is now
cutting with his wrists and
seemingly lacks the power that
was once his. His timing also
is Off-cOlOr, q tendency to swing
late, interfering with his normal
batting stride.
It is in the outfield, though, that
Ruth has declined most. Unable to
move around at his former clip
those in the know declare that the
Bambino is covering very little ter
ritory, and, but for his still dan
gerous sock, he probably would give
way to q younger and speediel
rival.
The Babes sickness, which he ha.
tried to laugh off, is purported tt
have caused more concern than II
generally thought. Under the care

field against such dangerous right
hand hitters as Bing Miller. AL Sim
mons and Jimmy Foxx, he may b.
crowded from the lineup before
! this set has progressed very far.
With a bird like Ruth firing
away, though. the dope is liable
to be crossed any time and con-
sequently one cannot be too posi-
tive while singing his swan song.
According to certain physicians
and other reliable source, how.
ever, the big fellow Is through
as a home run king and will be
fortunate to finish the present
campaign.

tight pitching, the second place
Hugmen will be bucked by Fred
Marberry and Lloyd Brown on the

Marberry, who likes nothing bet
ter than tantalizing the Yankees,
is hopeful of knocking off his
seventh verdict of the year, while
Brown. who showed advantagecusly
against the Red Sox Saturday, will
be striving to more firmly estab-
lish himself as a starting pitcher.

the Athletic series, Miller Hug
gins is expected to counter

Fred Heimach or Tom Zachary,

Though Heimach Is the lone
Yankee south slider who has shown
anything against the Griffmen this
season, the midget master mind lis

rather than cripple his staff for the
Athletics.

eventually overhaul Connie Mack'S

We believe Schmeling can win
this fight il he follows careful
plan. While he is about five
pounds lighter and lacks six
years OF having the experience
Of Pauline, only one Of these
years is a fighting year, as he

This pair may fail to sell the
house out, although they figure to
furnish New York with Its first
good heavyweight fight since Demp-
sey and Sharkey: they even may
fail to become sufficiently abrupt
and resolute with each other. But
the following are two things that
won't fail:
There will be thousands upon
thousands of dollars riding in bets
on the result; they will be viewed
by an assortment of people, no
more strangely contrasted than the
occupants of the average lifeboat.
As to the former, even money
was i'm order today with q slight =
leaning toward Pauline, the
latter getting the play from
most of the professional gam
blers who, after all, make the
odds.
They feel that he is entirely too
obdurate for the fragile Schmeling
over the 15-round distance and
their notion Is likely to swing the
odds in Paulino's favor after he
reaches town for the weighing in
tomorrow afternoon. This he will
do by means of an airplane trip
from his camp at Hoosick Falls.
The Tunney influence seems to be
an enduring legacy.
The fight, in brief, has many OF
the elements Of a genuine heavy
weight championship, except that
the receipts viii not be what the
promoters originally hoped. There
will be more than a half million
dollars in the house; how much
more rests with overnight devel.
opments.
Each of the fighters will get
about $4,000. and ! am beginning
to suspect that at least one of them
will earn it. He is the man who
parties too deity with the aid of
his chin. Circumstances being
what they are, this is almost GER
tain to happen to one or the other
of them before the fifteenth round.
The gamblers usually string with
| the punOher, but never If the man
in question has dubious chin. 1t
was for tGkis reason that one of the
biggest bookmakers in town an,
nounced today that he held $4,000
| in Pauline commissions to be sent
in Eat the proper price," This, he
intimated, would be to 6, although
actually be probably was putting
! out a feeler for even money. 1t
was gathered that he didn't want
Schmeling at any price. However,
there were plenty of others who did
did.
As for the crowd, Il has been
good pre.fight hokum I'm the
past to draw q parallel between
the banker and bOotblack who
rub elbows at the ringside. This
time, the timing is as level as
the sole Of . patrOlman's foot.
In a list Of prominent persons is
! issued today, / note the names Of
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1929-06-26

But what is in Something's favor,
IL he will bide his time and await
his opening. is the fact he hits
harder. If Won Porat and Christner
could make Pauline stagger SO can
Schmeling If he will go along
cautiously until the Basque has
spent some of his own fury as
those plunging, leaning, stubborn
Heeneyesque fighters do sooner or
later.
Should the fight go past the
ten.round mark with both men on
their feet, Paulino's chances will
improve apace. But Schmeling's
very training program has been
built along the lines of getting the
business at hand over as ex-
peditiously as possible and il he
procedure, we will be among the
disappointed.
Too, in Pauline Whatsisnameis
camp, they are making no secret q
the fact they expect the Prince OF
Pyrenees to knock out Schmeling as
early as the sixth round.
That is all very well, but
they do not reckon with SchmeI-
ing's stiffness and speed afOpt.
BY this we do not mean to i'm
ply SchmeIing will beson a bicycle,
la Gene Tunney, at any stage of
the fight, but he can get out Of
the way of impending disaster about
twice as quickly as can Pauline,
and therein lies the key to this
fight.
Each man is equally sincere in
his desire for a decisive ending.
Each will be in there striving to
achieve such finish, and we ven
ture to say one or the other will
realize his hope. Meanwhile Schmel.
ing is not the kind to be rushed
off his feet.
He viii be away in a fifty, par.
ticularly in those early rounds be-
fore he starts to tire, and he will
be back in no time with those
viper-like lefts and a follow-up
right that will simply be nobody q
business.

HEATER SALES GAIN
Francisco Makes Driving in
Winter Comfortable.

The last few weeks of winter
weather have resulted in an I'M
precedented demand for installa-
ton of Francisco automobile heat
ers, according to officials of the
Perfection Windshield Company, Is
West Pratt street, city distributors.
The Francisco, with models de-
signed separately for each car, is
guaranteed to deliver more heat
than any other heater, regardless
of price.
1t covers both the intake and ex-
haust manifold, serving as hotspot
causing complete vaporization OF
gasoline. A deflector elbow per-
mits the warm air stream being de-
livered in any direction in the car.
Motor fumes can not reach the in
terror Of the car as the exhaust
pipes merely are jacketed, not
tapped.
The Francisco produces heat in
stantly. Warm air is taken just
back of the motor fan, forced
through the manifold covering into
the car. Thus, air in the car is
changed every few minutes, avoid
ing headaches and car sickness.

CARE OF AUTO
SAVES DRIVERS
MANY DOLLARS
Trade-in Value Should Be
Considered, Declares
S. & S. Official.

Thinking ahead saves motorists
many future dollars, according to
Gus Showalter, manager of the S.
& S. Fender & Body repair.
The new car of today will be the
second hand car tomorrow, Sho-
walter said, and its value to trade
in or sell outright, depends on the
care given it today. If the tenders
should be bumped or the body
dented, rust will follow, unless re-
pairs are made at once. All these
things are considered by the used
car dealer in making a trade in
appraisal.
AS a car begins to look shabby
from neglect, the average motorist
likely will give it less and less care.
Now is an excellent time to start
giving those damaged tenders the
needed repairs.
The S. e. S. company specializeS
in repairing and rebuilding of all
kinds of automobile wrecks, large
or small, providing two-in service
available anywhere in Indiana or
adjoining states.
The firms workmen are not the
"Jack- of all-trades" type, but are
experienced in this one part of the
motor industry, and produce highly
satisfactory results.
The company has an excellent
location, 800 Pierson avenue. be-
tween Meridian and Illinois streets,
opposite the rear of the Indian
apolis Chamber of Commerce build

DRIP-0-LATER
INVALUABLE IN
COFFEE MAKING
Hoosier FIRMS Device is
Similar to System Used
by French.

Making coffee In France has been
and probably always will be by the
drip and filtration methods, Ever
EFT Irish, president Of the Hoosier
Coffee Company, 1417-21 South
eastern avenue, said today.
This method is followed both by
the large hotels and cafes and by
the housewives. When an unusu-
ally good cup of coffee Is to be
served, the cook drips the coffee,
using a spoonful of hot water at
a time, pouring it over tightly
packed, finely ground coffee, al
lowing the water to percolate
through to extract every particle
of OIL
More ground coffee in the bulk
is used than there Is liquid In the
cup, and sometimes an hour is
spent in producing four or five
demi-taSSeS.
The French drip method of max
ing coffee is recognized as the only
method that actually extracts the
maximum quantities of the deli
cious aromatic oils and other con-
tents. Boiling of ground coffee
with water results in loss of true
fiavors by steam distillation.
The Hoosier Coffee Company has
made it possible for thousands of
families in Central Indiana to OBJ
tain the latest innovation in coffee
making, the Drip-O-Later. Hoosier
Club coffee, blended and roasted
fresh daily in indianapolis, brewed
by the Drip O-Later method, quick
ly produces a truly delicious cup
of drip coffee as Americans prefer
this beverage.
Independent grocers handle Hoo
sier Club coffee and gladly will pro-
vide information on how the Drip
O-Later may be obtained easily and
at little cost.
