Ruth accepts such things as! a matter of course. Williams’ features are sharp; Ruth's are rounded. Williams jooks the eth- lete all over, as he doesn’t carry a pound of extra weight. Ruth, with his ‘large waist line, always seemg lacking in condition, Nal. In only one respect is there a samé- ness, both players strike out a great deal. This is true of al] batters who are free swingers. HOW KEN GOT FLYING START ON HOME RUNS 'BY KEN WILLIAMS. 1 have already been asked a great number" of times to what I attributed my flying start in the matter of home runs, +, It would be impossible to answerthat query without bringing into the dis- cussion any number of things. In the first place, it has always seemed to me that sixth position in the batting order ig the ideal spot for the free swinger, the fellow with the extra base habit. It may be purely imagination on my pert, but it has always seemed” to me that the sixth batter ig more often called upon to whale away at the ball rather than pull some so-called inside stuff. g Healthy Swing Needed. In a great many of the games in which I made home runs thus far this year the healthy wallop was the play. Conditions of the game, the score, the men on bases, and the number of outs invariably called uyon me to take a heaithy swing. That, of course, gave me a Bligit edge over the pitcher. He was forced to pitch to me in the pinch,-with the result that I have profited: considerably in the matter of home runs, Another thing that has greatly aided 236 me has been picking the proper’ ball. 5.

MERE ACCIDENT, "EVANS ASSERTS BY BILLY EVANS. | Charles Robertson, white Sox re- lcruit p{tcher, who won, everldsting fame by his no-run, no-hit game, in which not a man reached first base, ig’ not a mere flash in the pan. When Robertson turned in hjs re- markable pitching performance against the- Detroit Tigers, one of the hardest hitting clubs in the history of base- ball; a lot of¢neople thought it was an accident, one of those freak hap | penings that’ often feature baseball. Fans and experts the country over accepted the record with a feeling of J doubt as to the greatness of the Chi- cago recruit. They were anxious to see what Robertson would do in his ‘J next start. ‘|’ It so happened that I umpired Rob- ertson’s no-hit game, likewise his next start, which was against the Cleve land club at Chicago. Removed in Sixth. ‘STATE RECORDS {Cleveland had scored four rung ‘on j nine hits, lrevious to his no-hit game he waa beaten at Cleveland.’ His fatlire to make a good showing’ against Cleve- ‘land,. right after his fecord perform- ance, caused many of the fans and ex- Rorts to figure that perhaps he was simply a flash, his great feat a mere accident, That game against Cleveland should be thrown out entirely when you con- sider the ability of Robertson. In the second inning ie was:hit on the knee- cap by a liner from’ the bat of Larry Gardner. It was.a terrific drive. Rob- ertson was badly hurt. Knee Badly Hurt. Really he should have retired from the game at that ‘point. The injury to his knee was such ‘that it was impos- sible for him to tako ats groper stride. That, of course, immédiately removes a nitcher’s effectiveness. ‘Robertson is a gamester, however, and he insisted on sticking to his task. ‘He worked five innings on nerve alone. Robertson faced his next big test in a recent game at the Polo grounds in New York. ‘It was his fourth start of the season. After Chicago had twice been beat: en by the Yankees, he was selected to oppogze Carl Mays.

D., May 22.—‘‘Favorable reports are coming in daily trom tne units over the State, organized un- der the “Ex-service Men for Mc- Cumber Club.” Over one hundred fifty active units are now organized. lt is safe to say that nearly ninety- five per cent of the returned soldiers in this state are for Mr. McCumbe! according to the information ‘that I gather from reliable sources over the State.” said Leo L. Gorman, chair- ‘man of the “Ex-service Men for Mc- Cumber Club,” today. Relative to the Organization of which he is chairman, Mr. Gorman made the following statement: “Our comrades in all states are looking for us to return Mr. McCum- ber to the senate. ‘No one has been a truer or a stauncher friend of all soldiers than he has. He has sup- ported every measure of justico for the soldiers of all wars. For the re- lief of the wounded and disabled of the World War, he has supported such measures as the Sweet Bill, in- creasing compensation to wounded and disabled soldiers, and as a mat- ter of fact has whole-heartedly sup- ported any measure advocated by the Veterans National Legislative Com- mittee in the matter of’ hosp({taliza- tion and compensation for wounded and disabled veterans. “Weare not supporting Senator McCumber on his record ‘for soldier legislation alone, but we believe that the interests of the State can be served best by a man whose record of twenty-four years in the United States Senate has brought him into a ‘position which is second only to that of the president of the United States. ‘Our interests as citizens of North Dakota, demand that the Senator be returned. No ‘man occupies a posi- tion of more prestige and influence in Washington today than the Senior Senator of North Dakota, “Adequate protection for farm pro- \ ducts, the backing of the St. Law- rence Waterway, and Federal aid in ‘irfigation pnojects arg things which all citizens of the State are vitally interested in. And if the west is to be properly represented in such mat- ters, it behooves tliem to keep’a rep- resentative there who has the influ- ence and prestige in the Senate. Such aman we know Senator ‘McCumber to be, and every reserve force that we have, will be thrown into this fight to, affect the reelection of the Sen- ator.” WANTED TO RENT Five or six unfurnished rooms, modern.
