Davies, teacher of athletics of the University of North Dakota, said that the tender of the date with the Super- | ior, Wis., normal school football team this fall has been turned down. Su- perior wanted to play the North Da- kota university Thanksgiving day.

The average score for right-handed. pe-sons undergoing this wrist-wracking experiment is 180. There is no data ox right-handed persons using their left hand, but Ruth's record, it is, veertain, is much above the average.” * Other tests succeeded one another rapidly, ‘Ruth was seated before a ‘board, simular to that pticians use in. test- ing customers eyes. On this board a row of letters was exposed to view for one -fifty-thousandth part of a sec- ond. The average person can. read and note correctly four and a half letters in that time. Ruth read six out of eight letters. : of eye, brain and muscle, -he was seated at a telegraph key, with an upright board holding an_ electric lamp on the table: before him. ‘He was told to press the telegraph key: when the light was flashed on. Re- sults showed that his muscles re- sponded ‘to the eye and brain impulse more than’ one-teath quicker than those of the average person. Tho scienflsts say this is one rea- son why Ruth can follow a sharp- breaking curve with hts bat and meet the ball fair enough to heave it over the wall. ‘ ‘he Babe, rigged in a rubber har- ness, which was attached by hollow. tubes to a recording cylinder, showed that just before he swung, he took a deep breath, and that he “holds his breath” until after the ball has been hit. This results in tension of the muscles. The scientists told him that if he expelled his breath before hit- ting, his swing would have greater strength and rhythm and he could hit harder and more effectively, eae ee | One thing that the tests, showed —a thing that the scientists didn’t consider important, but which various pitchers, called upon to pitch to the swatter, may like to know—is that Babe hits’ easiest and’ hardest a low $l pitched just above his kmees and on the ou'side ‘Commer of the plate. ‘Arrival of the scientist in base |) ball may ease:the mad for many a hard working ‘basevall manager.

Maybe the scientific ivory hunter son will be a: regular feature around the major circuit. RICKARD. THROUGH WITH J. WILSON, New York, Sept. 10.+Tex Richard is through with Johnny Wilson for all time. The big promoter seldom becomes ' really angry, but since the Downey- Wilson fiasco in Jersey City on Labor day, he has not minced words regard- ing Wilson. “That was the worse fight I ever saw,” said Tex in his office here. “I regret that Y had to be in any way connested with it. I am sorry for the public. Wilson contracted. with me to do battle with Downey in a match} for the middleweight championship, | but he never fulfilled his obligations. Surely he never attempted to do any fighting. “The action of the New Jersey State Boxing board in directing Wilson's kota college at Brookings, Marquette university at Noy. 12; Hamline univers Paul, Noy. 19.
