EVEN II he doesn't catch Ruth's
record this year, he will later.
In his early 20s, he should be good
for u or more major seasons.
Tall and willowy, Joe weighs close
to 200, yet he has terrific speed.
Most important. he has base ball
instinct, always doing the right thing.
I never saw him make the wrong
plav and he has the fire to do his
greatest playing when the stakes are
biggest.
In the 1895 world series he made
some uncommon PLAYS In the 1887
dream game he made a throw I've
already mentioned as one OF the
greatest I ever saw
He nailed Whitehead, fast run

will sail into the stands or rife off

Not Talking Pennant But

THERE are several items to recon-
mend the White Sox as a fine
bah club at the moment. As a result
ot their successful stand in Chicago
against the Yanks they are the only
team in the league to combat the
champs. For the season to date tkev
have won eight of IA starts. DYKES
Is not talking pennant but when he
says well make trouble he is guilty
of understatement.
Even the Yanks cannot challenge
the Sox's claim of being the leagues
hottest team. Not only did the New
forks lose three of four games TO
the Pale Hose but in that series they
did nothing to refute the accusation
Of bitterness In that one series they
made IN errors and were it not for

Rest Of Right Hand HitterS.


Joe, to me, is the best right-handed
hitter developed in many years.
He is a real menace to Ruth's homer
record OF so made in 1927.
Jimmy Foxx, another right handler,
had SO in 1892, TO be the nearest threat
to Ruth's record. but since has tapered
down both in batting and homer hit
ting.
In fact. Foxx has left the job Of
menacing Ruth's record to Di Maggie.
Greenberg. Trosky and Gehrig. I
feel Joe has the best chance and have
my reasons.
Greenberg is essentially left
field hitter. TroSky doesn't hit A
homer year to left. He's a dead
right-fleid slugger.
Gehrig hits nearly all his homers
to right. But I don't look for Lou
ever to equal his past homer totals.
Still a grand hitter who gives me
headaches, he's putting on years,
Di Maggie, unlike the other three,
can hit home runs to left. center and
right. Barring injuries. he will hit
more homers than anybody in the
ma jors this year.

He's regular falcon running down

I don't suppose Col Jacob Rupert

Brain Twizzlers By Prot. ]. D. Flint

At q Jewellers convention in Chi cago an important robbery occurred. The convention was held at the Ho- tel Sherman and the man accused of the robbery was supposedly a member of the jewellers association. When taken into custody he denied the theft. Claiming that at 1:30 a.. m, the time the crime was com mitted, he was making the rounds of parties in friends rooms. His own was on the 14th floor and he brought in another jeweler who tes- tified that he had stopped first on the 18th floor then had fingered on the 11th floor from about midnight until 200 a. rn., always within sight. At the conclusion of this party he had gone to his room and remained there the rest of the night.
 The procesuting attorney bounced upon the testimony and established a case which convcted the man and also the testifying jeweler as an &C., complice. What was the evidence?
 Answer To Yesterdays Twizzlef
 Bob and Jim Rode 30 miles while Bill walked 6. Then Jim started walking while Bob returned for Bill. They met 10 miles from the cabin because Bob covered 20 on the horse while Bill covered 4 more.
