New Confidence Is Secret.

r UDY is apt to swing at one above
his head and drive it out of the
park-that's how strong he is"
You asked Heilman why York, who
has been in and out of a Tiger uni
form since 1884, took so long to DEM
onstrate his potentialities as a home
run hitter.
The secret is confidence" asserts
Heilman. When York first came up
as a matter of fact, until weeks
after the season started-the kid was
sucker for a fast ball inside. Ameri-
can League pitchers quickly caught on
to this weakness and destroyed his
confidence.
Now and then he would hit
long ball, but for the most part
he found himself swinging on
those inside pitches and hitting
the ball on the handle, if at all.
"One single pitch can change a
mans base ball career York was told
what the pitchers were doing to him.

Here's a point about York in

in his prime you will recall how he
drove home runs. He had beautiful
and somewhat involved swing. Ruth
could not hit every pitch out of the

THAT ball had to come pretty
close to where Ruth wanted it
to come In order for the Babe
to get his power and that re-

York is different. He will hit

~ ETROIT, September Hot
as the scorching weather in
the opening days firing
- Tuesday the Nations crack
shots continue their quest for new
records apd titles in the third ma
tional skeet championship at the
Blue Rock Gun Club today
Two 100-target events, the ma
tional women's championship and the
national 20-gauge championship, are
on the schedule, and in both compe-
titions youth will try to regain some
of the prestige that it lost in the first
firing in the tournament yesterday.
Defending champion in the women's S
event is 17-year-old Betty Small of
Detroit. K. c. Miller, 24-year-old
Tyler, Tex, shooter, will put his 20
gauge crown on the block.
Two Records Hung Up.
r EFLECT1NG the increased pro-
~ flciency of gunners in the COM
paratively new sport of skeet, two
new records were written into the
book in the first days firing.
Thirteen-year Jackie Horton of
Edgewood, R. l., a suburb of Provi-
dence, set new mark in the junior
event when he broke 80 out of 100
targets. Horton, who started his
shooting at the age of with an air
rifle, broke the mark of SO out of 100
set by Max Marcum of Louisville in
1895. He nosed out two youthful
Georgians, Harry Harkins Of Atlanta
and Jackie Boardman Of Augusta,
both of whom had 98.
Richard Shaughnessy, IS, Of Dei-
ham, Mass, who amazed the skeet-
shooting world when he won the
junior and all-gauge championships
at st. Louis year ago, broke s5
targets.
The Boardman family collected one
title when Clayton, red-haired,
freckled-faced 10-year-old brother OF
Jackie, led the sub-junior class, a
division for youngsters under 13. He
broke A targets. James Wallace, IL,
OF South Lyon, Mich, was second with
~ targets.
The other record was set in the sub
small-gauge division when Don Sperry
Of Flint, Mich, a newcomer to big
time skeet, and Frank R. Kelly, vet
eran West Orange, N. j., shooter,
broke 96 each in the sub-small- bore
event. The old record of 95 out of

but any fears that the latter aroused
IN the hearts of loyal home towners
were somewhat allayed by what hap
pened in New York last Monday night.
If Farr, little better than an 81
shot against Joe Louis, could upset
the dope, they point out there's more
than a chance that Scott, who is on
the short end of odds of 81, can do
the same. Ambers' title, however,
will not be at stake, giving Scott
little more than the opportunity of
qualifying to meet the champ in a
future title bout.

Gave Champ a Tussle.

Hal Scott figures to be no push
over for Ambers is exemplified by
the result of meeting between the
two at Hartford, Conn, two weeks ago.
There, Scott went the limit of 10
rounds with the title holder, and had
he not been knocked down twice in
the early going might have gained the
decision, or at least a draw.
Further hope for Scott is seen from
comparative records, which reveal that
the challenger has knocked out men
who have gone the distance with the
champion. Also remains the signifi-
cant fact that Ambers must save him
self as much as possible in order to
be ready for the fight card of four
champions-of which he will be one
which will be staged in New York later
this month. Scott, on the other hand,
has nothing to hold back for. Finally,

"RAUGH TO T1NSLEY" is the hope
of the All-Stars in their effort

To accomplish that, "Baugh to Tins
ley" must be more effective than
'Herber to Hutson" and there are
coaches, who watched Sam throw to
Gay in scrimmage, who believes it will
be all Of that.
Baugh was drafted by the Washing
ton team Of the National Professional
League, but Sammy has not commit
ted himself to the cash-and-carry
business. They've got to put plenty
on the line" the Texas Christian star
said today
Baugh also is shortstop and third

not want the boy monkeying around

Power to Baugh'S Passes.
CLING1NG SAM throws a foot ball
with full-arm motion that re-
minds you of Carl Hubbell putting the
screw on base ball Foot ball
coaches tell you that is not good form,
but they make an exception in the
case Of Sam Baugh. Any time a fell
low can hit running target 40, so or
even go yards down field, form and
style can go hang. There is only one
fault with Baugh's passing. He sings
the ball with such velocity there al
ways is danger Of the receiver having
a hand shot away or suffering a
pierced gizzard
Samuel has such a quick delivery
that he allows the defense to crowd
closer than any passer this writer ever
saw and the same goes for his kick
ing. Watching the Texan punt the
other day, Gus Dorais, head coach of
the All-Stars, remarked: THE guy
needs little or no blocking ard don't
see how they ever block one on him."
The singer will have some capable
receivers when he starts throwing
against the Green Bay Packers and
for that reason free scoring game
is anticipated. Baugh can't pitch too
hard for Gay Tinsley, the thick
legged end out Of Louisiana State,
Lloyd Cardwen, the Nebraska ante
lope; Bud Wilkinson of Minnesota. or
Ray Anti, another ex-Gopher.

Salty" Judges Hoist Anchor For Sea Trip

Legal terms will be uncere- mOniOusIy dropped for nautical expressions by five Connecticut superior court judges, who will sail from Essex at noon Thurs day for a two weeks cruise on the twO-masted schooner yacht, "True Love Second"
 Far from the heavy literature of the cOurtrOoms, the schooner will bear Judge Arthur F. Fills of Litchfield, Judge Newell Jen- nings of Bristol, Judge Edwin c. DickensOn of Wethersfield, Judge Patrick B. O'Sullivan of Orange, and Judge Kenneth Wynne of New Haven, who only Friday com pleted his spring assignment here.
 Judge DickensOn is a we'll known yachtsman, and Judge OSullivan acquired his sea-legs in the navy during the World war. The trip will include as much of the New England coast as pos- sible, and perhaps stop at New port for the yacht races.
 The justices have chartered the boat from the owner, Captain J. B. Mclean of New Haven, and the owners captain and a cook will be the only members of the crew. Judge DickensOn says the judges will do all the dirty" work.
