BATTING CHAMP NEEDS LUCK
lehman Believes Honor Greatly Overrated

Good hitters are players with
sound batting styles and stances,
and it will naturally follow, be-
cause of their soundness. that they
will hit more solid line drives than
their less fortunate co-workers.
About 10 stars will hit about the
same number of line drives. If
you are one of them and none of
your drives go at the fielders.
that's the year you'll sneak in TO
be the leader. Your cleverness has
nothing to do with it--your hit
ting luck plenty. Unless you're a
Cobb, the wonder of it will be
how you did it.
You also must consider the
borderline hit, those that can be
scored either a hit or an error.
There are liberal scorers and very
strict ones. Over the season ii
might mean 10 hits or Is points
that may make you win-or finish
sixth. You can take care of that
by remembering what Willie
Keller said in disclosing the
secret of his success:

By HARRY HEILMANN

Former Tiger sdgger who is now writing
his baseball observations and experiences
tn The Detroit Times.
Tops in thrills for the major
league ball player is TO lead his
league in batting. What kid bat
ting old tapped up balls around the
sandlots has not imagined how it
would seem TO lead the parade +?
1t is a fact that there is more TO
this league leading business than
appears on the surface. Don't get
me wrong, this is no essay on
How TO Lead the American
League"
1t is a personal opinion that the
accomplishment of leading a
major league is vastly. overrated.
Too much fuss and publicity has
always been attached TO it. Too
often the batting champ Is about
the fifth most valuable man on
the team. The prizes do not al
ways go to those who win them.

Batter 'Bedned,'
Hal White Loses
Poise andGame
Tiger Rookie FaIters
After Hitting WalIasss.
and Mscks Win. 81

PHILADELPHIA, June A.
There is an unwritten rule-or
superstition-in base bal that
when a pitcher hits an opposing
batsman in the head he loses the
ball game or is driven from the
mound.
Yesterdays game with the Ath-
Iletics which the Tigers lost, 81,
followed the rule conclusively.
In the fifth inning, with the
score tied at IL, one out and no
one on base, pitcher Hal White of
the Tigers hit Jack Wallaesa OF
the Athletics on the head with a
pitched ball.
Wallaesa fell 10 the ground I'M
conscious. was finally revived and
taken home for observation.
LOSES POIsE
The accident provided Whites
downfall. He Immediately lost his
poise and his stuff and before the
Inning was over the Athletics
scored three runs, took a Al lead
and hreezed to the finish.
After hitting Wallaesa. White
|fumbled Knots bunt which went
for a hit and then was socked for
solid singles by Mike Kreevich
and Pete Suder. Kreevich's sin
gle scored Blair, who ran for
IWallaesa. and Suder's bingle sent
Knott over. Siebert forced Suder
to send Kreevich over.
Almost the same thing occurred
in the sixth. White hit Valo-for-
Itunately only on the leg-but the
accident led TO the final Athletic
run when Wagner singled. White
fumbled Davis roller and Blair
forced Davis.
Detroit could do nothing against
Knott, who pitched and won his
first full-time victory OF the sea-
son. He allowed only six hits,
and one of them was home run
by Higgins which tied the score at
IL in the second. After that the
visitors hit the ball near the
fences but not against them.

Master this and you have a
batting championship in the bag.
In 1921 Ty Cobb and your
writer came down the home
stretch neck and neck for the
title. 1t was the story OF the pupil

he learned these lessons. Walter
johnson. the best pitcher in the
game. played an important part
in this duel.
The only day in my whole life
that I ever hit Johnson. was the
day I needed TO badly. Walter
held Ty hitless in four tries. Three
of my hits got through. 1t wasn't
science, but luck. 1t kept me In
there until the last day, when
the unofficial averages had Ty

Winning eight games in seven
weeks for a worlds championship
club is one thing. and winning 'em
for a sixth-place outfit is a horse
of an entirely different color.

Real Tribute
Retiring Bert Maris Honored by 400 Guests
including Ex-Pupis Who Made Athletic History
BY EDGAR HAYES

More than 400 friends of Bert
Maris gathered TO wish him god
speed and after reviewing his glor-
ious career as athletic director OF
Northwestern High, shouted as one
voice, We'll Done"
After almost 80 years on one
job, Bert is retiring. His friends
TANNED the Aztec Club last night
to let him know they appreciated
all he had done down through the
years. Fathers came to thank
him for making a man out OF
their sons. Sons brought their
fathers to see the Bert Maris who
was well known TO the family from
the lads conversation.
There were formal speeches anc
presentations. They gave Bert q
beautiful watch and book with
the autographs Of all who at
tended.
THE BIG THRILL
But the real thrill for both Bert
and his 400 friends was before
and after the formalities, mingling
around with Joe and Tom and
Fred and Frank who went to
Northwestern. or who played for
the Young Mems Order when Bert
coached there. Or meeting friends
from Notre Dame which sent a
delegation to honor a former
coach. Or fellow members of the
Kawiniis or Schoolmen Club or
the other groups to which Bert
belongs. Judge John Brennan. an
old friend and former fellow
worker, was the POSTMASTER.

Charles Henry has been ordered
to increase the size of purses
whenever fields appear to rate q
better purse than has been set In
the condition book for the meet

The prize boost came opening
day when Henry split the Boots

divisions and gave each 5000.
Most of the raises have been for
500. Today, however. racegoers
will see six furlong which Henry
considered SO good that he boosted
the purse from $1,000 to 81, 200.
Henry increases these purses
after the races are filled. just to
make it a pleasant surprise for
the trainers and keep every one
happy during the long 73-day

The race today is the Plymouth
