Cecil Travis PAGES the hitters Of
the American League today, hav-
ing struck five blows yesterday in
a glorious effort to preserve the
supremacy Of the left-handed hit
tiers on a day when thunder roars
from the right in both major
leagues. Five right handlers are
in the select group Of sluggers.
Johnny Mize Of the Cardinals and
Arky Vaughan Of the Pirates are
tied for fifth place in the National
League, bringing the number OF
left handlers to six.
Unofficial figures give the
right handlers an edge Of approx
mately 10 per centage points over
their brothers of the south side Of
the plate. The right handlers are
hitting 1878, while the left hand
ers have compiled the handsome
average Of 1903. Were 1t possible
to drop Vaughan, who has been
at bat fewer times than Mize, and
consequently made fewer hits:
thus making the numbers equal.
the left handlers would have an
average Of 1872.
Here are the figures Of the con"

You never can tell about the

Take, for instance, the very
recent fluctuations in the national
Boxing Association ratings-of
approximately two weeks ago.
In the previous release, Jelly

because he lost two decisions to

Since then, however, Fox
stopped Red Bruce and also Leo

Kelly out of the select upper 10.
Similarly, about two weeks ago

this order: Petey Sarron, Jackie

DAVIS CUP STAR
IS EXPECTED TO
ACCEPT OFFER
Mako Would Also
Quit Amateurs
BY DAVIS J. WALSH

International News Service Sports Editor
NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Don
Bulge, positively the finest buy"
in the field of lawn tennis, not
only will be offeret a minimum OF
100000 to turn professional be-
fore the close Of the national sin.
giles championships next month,
but there is better than a fair
chance that he will accept.
This statement, coming on the
eve of the triumphal return of the
American team with the Davis
Cup. was vouchsafed today by the
most surprising Of all possible
sources.
1t came from within the United
State Lawn Tennis Association
itself, from party who, ordi-
narily, wouldn't tell you the right
way to the county Jail.
The same party further admit
ted that, If Bulge does decide to
exchange the tab" privilege in
the club grill for the certified
check, we might as well wrap up
the Davis Cup and send it away
for another 10 years. It'll take us
that long to recover, he says.
ooh, yes" he went on, very
casually. I'VE can't beat the
Germans without Bulge. We
almost didn't beat them, with
Bulge. don't think we can
even beat the AustralianS-at
full Strength-withOut Bulge. If
he jumps, there will be no one
else. Well certainly lose the
Davis Cup next year and 1t will
stay lost for a long time" -.
MAKO WOULD GO, TOO
In reply to a direct question, he
added that Gene Mako, Wimble-
don and Davis Cup doubles cham
pion with Bulge, probably would
follow the latter if he turned pro-
fesSional.
mako would have no Signifi-
canoe in amateur tennis without
his double partner" our man
pointed out, reasonably enough.
He didn't feel called upon to
add that Mako also would have
no money. He could pick up at
least a fair competence on tour
next winter.
AS for Bulge, his record is prob
ably the finest-and most saleable
of any since those olden, golden
days when Tilden and I were
young, Margaret. Briefly, Bulge
won three Wimbledon titles, in
GLIDING the greatest OF all, the
singles. He won every match
through every round of the Davis
Cup series, finally beating the
blond baron of Germany, Won
Cramm, and England's Bunny Aus
tin. He has reached his climax
and, beyond the National Singles,
he can do no more.
100000 Awe-InSpiring
And the sum of 100000 is
something to contemplate with
awe at the age Of %. Come to
think of it, 100000 wouldn't be
an encumbrance at AZ, So, 81, 80
or 102.
"Heavy pressure will be
brought against Bulge during
and after the championships,
especially if he wins" the Off.
cial said in parting. Probably
Tilden. Fred Perry and Ellie
Vines will work on him. You
see, they know they need him."
What he means is that the
Vines-Perry tour was a good one
last year. but an act of that kind
is like a razor blade. It can only
be used once. After that, you
couldn't give 1t away to strangers.

RIGHT HANDLERS
LEFT HANDLERS

Individual honors in the scram.
BILE belong for the day to Joe Med
wick. slugging left fielder of the
Cardinals, who goes frolicking on
his way, hitting all kinds of pitch
ing. He has been above the 400
mark most of the season. Even
though he has slipped three points
below that mark for the time be-
ing, there is every chance that the
crashing Card may win the honor
of being the first National League
player to hit 400 or better since
Bill Terry batted .401 in 1880.
Heilman Last
Harry Heilmann, of the Detroit
Tigers was the last American
League batsman to clear the 400
mark. Heilman hit .403 in 1928.
In 1922 SiSler hit .420, tying Cobb's
American League record, made in
1911.
Medwick, Joe DiMaggia and
Hank Greenberg are the hopes Of
the right handed brigade in the
struggle for national batting hon
ors. Medwick'S current advantage
over the italian is due to the home
parks of both men. The greatest
testimonial to the home run hit
ting proves of DiMaggio, who got
his second home run Of the month
yesterday is, that he SmasheS the
ball into the left field stands OF
Yankee Stadium.
Although the left field wall
right on the foul line in New York
is short, the stadium Is con-
structed that distance to the seats
increases with each degree in the
angle from the plate. DiMagglo
does not pull the ball sharply
enough to profit by the relatively
short distance to the seat on the
foul line.
Ruth in Prime
Yankee Stadium, constructed in
1928 when Ruth was in his prime.
was planned to capitalize on the
distance hitting ability Of the
Bambino. Give DiMaggio the ad.
vantageS that Ruth enjoyed and
he would shatter every record that
Ruth ever compiled. A large
statement, perhaps, but it Is the
opinion Of the writer, subStan-
tiated, it would seem, by facts.
Greenberg has a fine field for
his style Of hitting, which makes
him a factor in the fight for ma
tional honors. His towering wal.
lops clear Navin Fields left field
wall with ease. Medwick has
short left field fence in st. Louis.
Gehrig profits from his left"
handedness in Yankee Stadium.
Those stands, stretching at right
angles across the field Of play and
in direct line of flight from the
plate, yawn invitingly for his
blows. Mize has a relatively short
range shot for the right field
stands in st. Louis. He is a dis
lance clouter.
The Hard Way
Our own Cecil Travis makes his
average the hard way. The
drawlin' Georgian Is a line drive,
snap hitter. The fences ct Grit
fifth Stadium seldom are conquered
by one-shot hitters. Travis would
not profit even if the distances
were not so magnificent. He
stands at the plate the way Joe
Sewell used to stand at the plate,
and seldom offers at a ball until
it is right on top Of him. ThelI
