Griffiths KayOes
Montgomery in First

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, April O.
Tuffy Griffiths, aspirant for the
heavyweight title, today had
taken the first step toward a
comeback after his recent de-
feat by Jack Gagnon by knocking
out Sully Montgomery, numbering
Texan, in the first round of a
sceduled 10 round go here last
night.
The tough one laid out the
former Center College foot ball
star in 2 minutes and Al seconds
with a left hook.
Griffiths opened the battle with
a furious barrage of leftS and
rights that stunned Montgomery,
backed him in a corner and ap.
piled the kayo punch before the
Texan had a chance to get go.

Bush, who told him when to do
it. Anyhow, it is evident that he
is doing what he is told when
he is told and exactly how he is
told to do it. This is what is
known as a compromise.
OF course, there is the makings
of a fine, old brannigan in this
situation. If one didn't know
Shires, he would believe that the
Millennium is coming. AS it is,
I have it on reliable authority
that the only thing coming is the
day after tomorrow.

The Washington times., 1930-04-09

There had been rumorS to this
effect, but these were circulated
on the unsupported word of men
who only had seen ShireS with the
club. This, of course, is not con.
elusive. According to most Of the
ground rules, if you don't hear
ShireS, it isn't him.
The evidence. in fact, some
what serves to disprove the 'denti-
fication. They say the man is
docile, contrite, chaStened. which
almost automatically makes him
somebody else. Nobody is being
punched impulsively on the nose,
not even his new overseer, Mr..
Bush, who has been most un-
reasonable about insisting that
everybody go to bed at least once
a night.
But nothing has happened
and now it appears that The
man we are talking about
may become thoroughly EN-
bOldened and 60 right out
for the mixed doubles.
However, I am prepared to
stand behind the statement that
ShireS is ShireS. In the face of
all evidence to the contrary, the
proof of his identity is urassail
able.
It is furnished by a recent
photograph. showing that he re
mains as the only man to escape
across the State line Of Texas
wearing spats and carving a
cane.
Anyhow, l think it is very i'm
portant news that ShireS mas
found no occasion to stiike either
his manager or his club secretary
in almost two weeks OF asSocia'
ton, although I have no doubt
he has decided from Ciin2 to time
that both. OF them should be
struck jointly and by turns. Mr.
Bush, for instance. must have
turned out to be big diSappoint
ment.
He has been very overbearine
and technical about WnaC oCnel
people do with their sleep and
besides reading the riot act, he
even sent one young man home
and told him not to return with
out note from his mother. But
Shires seems to be the best little
boy in the class. He hasn't
once been sent to bed without his
supper. Not once.
This is the same party they
used to call silent" ShireS
because, if you stood three
blocks away and the wind
wasn't favorable, you could
hardly hear a word he said.
I suspect that his silence is
unnatural and must be due
to shock.
Maybe the person who shocked
him was Lands, who told hin
what to do. It might have beer

Personally thlnK 1tS d goou
thing. I get a whale Of a kick
out of a sacrifice and stealing
game when base runners are on
their toes and runners are pushed
across the plate by smart base
ball rather than by home run
drives. :.
I have always maintained and
I still do that hitters of the Joey
Sewell and Ty Cobb type are the
best in baseball. Those fellows
stand UP there flat footed with
choked bats, and they hit as
you pitch. Just because one chap
happens to come along who can
drive a baseball out of the park
is no reason why everyone else
should try it. A lot of good hit
tiers ruin themselves by trying 20
overdrive the ball. It's Just like
golf in that respect. The golfer
who gets up there and swings
with all his might never hits a
ball as far as the fellows who
relax, take an easy cut and meet
the ball clean.
just to show you how baseball
is changing, the Yankees had a
sliding pit built in camp this
spring for the first time since /
can remember, and the young
fellows were given plenty of work
in it, too. And understand that
other clubs have been doing the
same thing. Such smart man.
ayers as Connie Mack and John
McGraw have come out with flat
footed statements that the next
season or two will see return to
the old-style baseball. believe
them, too.
The other day Lou Gehrig was
talking to me about hitting and
trying to dope out what caused
his slump last season. He seemed
terribly surprised when advised
him to cut out trying to hit home
runs and to concentrate on meet
ing that ball. But I think that
is LOUIS real trouble. don't
mean by that that he won't hit
home runs. AS a matter of fact,
think he will hit more that way
than he will when he's up there
taking that full swing.
Hitting home runs isn't half
as much a matter of power
as it is of perfect timing and
meeting the ball squarely on
the nose. And Lou, in his
anxiety to hit for long dis
tanceS last season, was pull.

and lunging at the ball. The
result was that he drove the
ball into the ground for an
easy out, even when he man.
aged to hit it hard.
don't know whether Lou is
going to follow my sdvice- this
season or not. But do know
this. If he'll just take it easy up
there at the plate, not force his
swing, and will concentrate on
meeting the ball squarely he'll
hit at least fifty points higher
than he did last seaSon-and he'll
finish the year with just as many
homerS and maybe more. Wait
and see if I'm not right.
Naturally as far as I am con-
cerned. I'll have to step up there
and take my cut. I'm paid to hit
homers and the minute I start
shortening my swing and trying
for basehits the crowd begins to
groan and humble. But I wish
might be free to try out my
theories, just once. If for one
season I could forget home runs
hitting and just take a nice
easy cuff I could just one
season stand up there flatfooted
and on balance. I'd like to bet
I could hit 400 for the season,

BY BABE RUTH.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April g.
Maybe I'm all wrong but it seems
to me I can notice a change in
hitting styles in the last couple
of seasons. A sort of throw back
to the old days, I guess, when hut.
ters were trying to get on instead
of hammering the ball over the
fence for a home run.
I've noticed it particularly this
spring in the games we've played
against other big league clubs,
and on the Yankees as well. For
four or five years every young
fellow who came up grabbed his
bat from the end, swung from
the ankles and tried to knock the
boards off the fences. This year
I notice that most of the young
fellows are choking their bats
and taking short chops at the
ball. and what is more important,
I notice that most Of the coaches
and managers are urging the kids
to hit that way
Take the Yankees for in.
stance. We have three young
fellows breaking into our line
up-Chapman at third base
and Cooke and Sammy Byrd
in the OutfieId. And all three
of those boys are choke hit
ters.

Colors Vary

Colors vary according to
the fabric, and the occasion
for which you intend wear
ing the frock. For silk
dresses, which are usually
formal or semi-formal, black
is undeniably the leader.
Next comes brown, usually
in a dark, rich shade, such as
the brown that Patou uses a
great deal, and that is usu-
ally named for him. Other
browns are good. such as
mauve brown, or very dark
brown, but they are limited
to an exclusive few. Greens,
reds and blues are smart, and
in various shades. Cricket
green is popular, and other
soft medium tones are lovely.
A clear bright red is seen a
good deal in woolen frocks,
but wines are usually used
for silks. Rust is ; very
smart, and various shades
from yellow-red to red
browns, that are Variously
named. Medium and light
navy blues will be worn to
some extent. Then of course
there will be some tan or
beige frocks, gard there's a
new gold color called brass
that is being talked of right
