Last season he hit 80 (making 70 in

tional League record, but Klein, OFT
and Hornsby topped him. Hack, in
his playing so far this season, has
served notice on his rivals, as well as
on National League pitchers, that he
wants to be the one and only Babe
Ruth of the National League this
year. He was the first player in the
majors to hit IL home runs in 1880.
The powerhouse of the Cubs can

He socked the great Vance for one
in Chicago on May 6, breaking
long-lasting jinx which that pitcher
had always had over him. Wrig-
ley's slugging ace gets wrist watch
for each and every home-run wallop,

arms as an octupus to wear them all

TT is the inconsistency of Sharkey's

this next fight an uncertain matter up

year remains to be seen. Much elo-

the Miami training camp. Not much
eloquence was offered after the fight
No one questions the fact that he has
enough stuff to beat Schmeling If he
can only make it click, especially after
being crossed or forced away from his
own pace.
1t is in these two latter respects that
he has slipped in several contests
Loughran couldn't hit hard enough to
bother him or to take the offensive.
Schmeling can. Whether the German
can box well enough to slip through
Sharkey's guard is just another guess.
Sharkey isn't easy to hit. He never
took up his profession to be known as

The Present Status.

Inc Present status.
Charley starts the last fortnight
- well in the lead so far as popular
favor goes. He has shown himself
to be a better boxer than Schmeling.
with better twoGhanded attack. Part
of this is due to the fact that Sharkey
has been in training twice since Schmel-
ing fought his last fight, and this means
something, even though both fights
were of brief duration.
There is nothing like competition to
get one ready for further competition,
and Sharkey is far more experienced
than his younger German rival Yet
this doesn't mean that Sharkey is sure
to win. If his past career had been
consistent he would today be big fa-
vorite. But he has looked to be all set
to go before this, with a number of dis
appointing results.
The one element of doubt concerning
Schmeling is his ability to take hard
body punishment or to stand up against
rap on the chin. His plan undoubted-
ly will be to crowd Sharkey, and this
means he will have to take his share of
pun1shlng punches before the crowding
process begins to take effect.
He won't find Sharkey another Paul
ino, hard to hurt and hard to hit, but
not dangerous. Sharkey is too
good a boxer to be blocked off and he
can hit hard enough to bring results.
Schmeling is certain to walk into more
trouble than he ever has faced before
In these earlier rounds, and it will be
largely question as to how far he can
weather the storm. If Jack Dempsey
hadn't been an iron man he would have
been knocked out by Sharkey in either
first or second round, Schmeling has
yet to prove what sort of storm he can
weather before he gets his chance.
The German Is smart, strong, cool
headed and good right-hand puncher.
All this gives him a chance, but he
hasn't shown enough yet to give him
an even chance, according to the ma
jority opinion of those who have been
watching both and who know or should
know what they are talking about. Herr
Max will have to come along at a gallop
through the next week to pull up on
even terms

ing now have just week left in
- which to put on the final touches
that will decide the name Of Gene
Tunney's successor and the wearer of
the heavyweight crown, toga or coro-
net. 1t has been about two years now
since the old crown was cooked above
any clammy brow, and, while civilization
has managed to survive, there will at
least be some added interest on the
sporting side to have a champion at
hand and to find some one who can
beat him. These eliminations lost their
early zest some time back. They were
beginning to eliminate most of the pop
ulace who pay the purses, which always
is a serious matter.
This next fight at least means some-
thing. Unless they both flop badly, 1t
will mean new champion, which in
turn means new target to be fired at,
and the crowd must have its target.
In this present case there is no ques-
ton but that at the present moment
Sharkey and Schmeling are not only
the two outstanding survivors, but tina
each one is capable of flrst-class work.
The law of averages should work in
favor of this fight anyway. Most of the

Hagen won the open championships of

and the P. G.. A. championship of the
United States Chick Evans, Jerry
Travers and Francis Ouimet won the
open and amateur championships Of
the United States.
But Bobby Jones today is the only
golfer who ever won the open and anna
teur championships of both Great Brit
ain and the United States-the four ma
tional titles which happen to be the
last words in match and medal play
golf. There now are no more golf1ng
worlds for him to conquer.
At the age of % he has won 10 ma
tional titles against the best amateurs
and the best professionals in his game,
and he still has three more national
titles to shoot at this year-the British
OPP at Hoylake later on in June, the
United States open at 1nterlachen in
July and the United States amateur at
Merton in September.
Bobby already has broken one record
by winning all four major titles. Now
he has a chance to break another by
winning three of the four major titles
in one year, something no one ever has
done.
A Week of Trouble.
Jones had his share of trouble at st.
Andrews last week. He had three
nerve smashing calls against Cyril Toll
ley, Jimmy Johnston and George Voigt.
But the main answer is that he came
through, even though he lost some of
the skin of his teeth in making the
grade.
The killing strain of two 18-hole
matches day showed in his play Every
one knew he was the best golfer in the
field, but he had to prove it under con-
ditions that he dislikes-the sprint
against the all-day route. And he had
to prove it under treacherous golflng
conditions that often are more a test of
nerves than of golf ability. He told me
the day he left that If he could win at
st. Andrews he would be satisfied.
But knowing Bobby Jones, know he
won't be satisfied as long as there are
three more tournaments and another
record left. 1t now will be doubly inter-
esting to see how he finishes the re-
mainder of the season, at Hoylake with
Horton Smith, Deigel, Armour, Mac
Smith, Sarazen and others. He has at
least proved to himself that he could
go through a long series of 18-hole
matches, the type of competition he
always has disliked in the belief that a
big percentage rested on pure luck,
which undoubtedly is true. He now
happens to be the one man with REQ
ord that speaks for itself-a record that
is beyond the adornment of useless
words.

BY JOHN b. KELLER.

IN ETROIT, June 3.-To lis
ten to the run-of- mill

are not bothering much

Although the AS, Nationals, Indians

Is not so far out of the select group
that it is to be regarded a non-dis-
turbing factor in the flag chase. Here,
that's enough to keep the crowd pour

AS a matters Of fact, Bucky Harris,
pilot of the Tigers, is just as optimistic
concerning his clubs prospects as he
was when he managed the Nationals in
the three years they tried to get some

sons. Harris still is the Pollyanna OF

On the verge of the four-game series
between his club and the Nationals the
Tiger manager with his charges 101z
games behind the league-leading Phila-
delphians and 51a games out of the
first division, has hope of his club be-
coming an important factor in the
struggle for the loop laurelS. Says
Harris:
"I firmly believe the Tigers were
strengthened by the trade that brought
Waite Hoyt and Mark Koenig from the
Yanks in exchange for Harry Rice,
Westling and Carroll and with better
defense look for my club to give the
Others in the league plenty of trouble.
For some time have been looking
around for a capable shortstop. We
have tried several, but all have failed
to make the grade. Koenig is good;
wonderful hitter, I'll grant any one
that, but he's not weakling at bat by
any means, and with Charley Geh-
ringer alongside him, the Tigers should
have a fine double-play combination.
It's the double-play combination around
the middle base that makes any big
lesgue club strong defensively."
Harris ought to know what he is
talking about when he discusses double
play combinations. He was part of one
of the greatest double-play combinations
modern base ball has ever known. With
