SPORT sLANTS

Hank Greenberg, the Detroit Ti- s.-i towering first baseman, is leading the American League in home runs, doubles, runs batted in and runs scored And yet Hank would gladly trade all the honors he seems destined to win this sea- con for just one title-the league batting championship.
 All of which stamps Hank as very wise young man. The batting championship has always been one of the most prized individual prizes the big league campaigns offered. Aside from the team champion ship, the race for batting honors generally manages to command most of the fans interest. There is some interest in the competi- tion for the home run honors but it is nothing compared to the strug- gle for the all-around batting lau- rels.
 Greenberg is smart enough to realize that the home run title will be an empty honor unless the win ner manages to break or closely press the record of Babe Ruth. And as for any athlete inheriting the Babes titles of Sultan of Swat, King of Clout, etc., they just won't sound the same applied to anoth- CT home run hitter.
 The lanky Tiger first sacker is very much in the running for the batting honors-has been all sea- con for that matter-so there is a fair chance that he may win the honor without the necessity of trading in any of the other honors hs wins.

Detroit and Boston had title to him at one time or other, although he never actually played in the American League.
 It's pity old Dazzy Vance couldn't have realized his ambition to ring up 200 victories on the mound before passing out of the big league show for good. The Dazzler recently was released by Brooklyn when he was in the very

NO BOWERS ON SALARY

Babe Herman, the coiorfu1 slug ger of the Cincinnati Reds, achiev- ed one of tho burning ambitions when he completed his tenth year in the major leagues. As a ten year man Babe cannot be shipped back to the minors without his ap- proval Herman may not have been one of the greatest ball play CTS in the game but there were few smarter businessmen in uni- form.
 Herman is well known for the many boners attributed to him, particularly as a base-runner, but when it comes to getting the high est possible figure on his contract the Babe was a wizard In 1930 he hit .393 to finish second to Bill Terry for the National League batting championship He held out the following year for S25,0O0 but compromised and signed for mere pittance of s19,0O0.

Ted Hamilton and Homer Thomas
considered themselves the youngest and
best cowboys in Montana. When only
seven years Of age, 1t fell to those little
fellows the duty Of herding the cattle
while the older men built houses and
shelter for the stock. A substantial
block house was constructed as place
Of refuge for the old folks in case Of
an Indian attack.
It was also the duty Of the youths to
keep a sharp lookout for proving In
dams. Even a cloud Of dust, the origin
Of which they were not sure Of, would
cause them TO shoot their rifles into
the air to warn the men, round up the
cattle, and drive them to shelter. Many
times the little fellows warned the men
of q tribe Of approaching Indians: saw
ing many cattle, and preventing at
tacks on the little settlement.
However, with all their nerve excit-
ing duties, the little cowboys were not
without recreation and youthful fun.
When time permitted ard when danger
from Indian attacks was not too great,
the little fellows would take their fish
ing poles and ride their ponies to q
nearby stream where they would come
pletely enjoy q few hours Of their ia
vorite sport Of fishing. To add to
their delight Of q few hours Of relaxa-
ton and play, the youths would catch
frogs, build fire and cook up a dainty
meal Of frogs legs. Their mothers were
always glad to assist the boys in their
ventures by giving them flour and salt
and q pan in which to do their cook
ing.
