World Results. By Leased Wire BABE RUTH CRASHES WAY TO LEADERSHIP OF LEAGUE BATTERS Bib Falk Left in Second Place by Bambino In Last Week; George Kelly Proves Sensation in the National. CHICAGO, July 19.—(By The Associated Press.) — Babe Ruth, who, in 1921, gave the baseball world some- thing to talk about when he slammed out 59 home runs, today has a right to stick his bulging chest~out just a bjt farther... The bambino has crashed into the battling eadership of the American 884, leaving “Bib” Falf of the White Sox, the leader, a week ago, in second place with .36! Ruth has a total of 108 hits thus far this season, anda string of 26 homers, the high mark of the major leagues. The figures include games of Wedresday. 10,000-METER RACE TOO STRENUOUS, SAYS LENDING SPORT WRITER By WALTER CAMP (Copyright, 1924, The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, July 18.—More than one critic will be heard from who doubts the wisdom of such races as that Geeperate 10,000 meter cross- country at the Olympic gimes, Half the trained athletes who started were unable-to finish and tome of them were in condition for the hospital. True, the blazing heat was partly responsible, but still the question is whether or not this event is produc- tive of more harm than good. The humane consideration displayed to- ward the Marathon runners in start- ing the long race much later in the afternoon should offer the sugges- tion to the Olympic ~committeemen that it is’ hardly the province of games of whatever sort to test the immunity of human beings to sun prostration. 4 Yesterday’s Chicago, nings.

Foster. ‘By JOHN B. FOSTER. 1924, Casper. Tribune. NEW YORK, July 19.—Lack of managerial ability to cope with the Gtants has made a procession out of the National league race. Most of the league's magnates realize that the jig is about up and that the New York team is headed for its fourth straight pennant. The Inst six days or so have knocked the plum-duff entirely out of the race, according to one of the most eminent spokesmen for the older organization. The inability of Chicago to do anything against Brooklyn or New York at the mo- ment their teeth should be filed the sharpest is the most bitter pill to those who had been ‘hoping the race would tighten up again. McGraw said he could come through this year if he got the pitching. Since the collapse of th western section of the circuit, it ap- pears probable that he could have sot through anyway because, the eastern section has been hopeless against him, That any such spectacular thing may happen as when the Boston rose from the bottom in 1914 ap- pears impossible just now. The league hasn't anything which looks. equal to the task: The Pittsburgh club is the most promising but what faith can be placed in the Pirates when a second division team can break even with it? The Giants have won almost enough victories from the east alone to take them into the promised land, while Pitts- burgh has lost more games to Bos- ton than it has won. The success of the New York eam is not a pleasant morsel to ome of the other National league teams but it is not the first time they have swallowed medicine that was bitter to the taste and it will not be the last unless there is a decided change in tactics on the part of those who put together the strength that is supposed to be able to swamp the Giants.

Holding Chicago to six hits, Baumgartner was the prime mover in Philadelphia's 4 to 3 win over Chicago. Pittsburgh made the Giants realize they still have some competi- tion in the National league by trim- ming the New Yorkers for the sec- ond time in succession.» The final count was 9 to 2. Adams played a lone but effective hand in the Cubs victory over Philadelphia by 2 to 1 in 10 innings. His single in the sixth scored the first run and his second one-base accounted for the decided marker in the final frame.

JACK ZIVIC LOOKS LIKE COMING CHAMP By FRANK GETTY. (United Press Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, July 19, (United Press).—Of all the lightweights who aspire to the crown which Benny Leonard cannot’ much longer hope to'wear, young Jack Zivie of Pitts. burgh looks the most promising. Four years ago, around this time, Jnck and his brother Pete, were knocking over little Hungarians and Swedes and Brazillana in amateur bouts at the Olympic games at Ant- werp. Since when, the Zivio brothers have risen—if you Ike-+to the pro- fessional ranks. Pete, the elder, {s a feather; Jack, a lightwegtht. This ic is a workmanlike cuss, who {s at present engaged with five or six other aspirants in a series of elimination bouts to see who is the best man to take a sock at Leonard —and probably, a beating at the workmanlike hands of the champ. Zivlc dfsposed of the first two aspirants with whom he tangled, al though he lost to Pal Moran of New Orleans on a technical foul. He was administering such a scientific, if somewhat over-eager, beating to the’ southern veteran, that there was never any doubt as to which was the better man. Then came Sid Barbarian, an am bitious young Armenian boy from Detroit, and he was handily knock- ed off by the Pittsburgher. Zivie is a pleasure to watch. He fs more active than Leonard, but there is something in his business ike way of going about things that reminds one of the title-holder. The former 7 Ko on all kinds, but a aring fight er is his par Jack is a two-handed fighter. “He can keep his head and weather the worst storms. And he can hit, although ioular dish Answer—He was June 15, batting about 390 not as hard as Leonard. By and large, the Pittsburgh boy looks best of the challengers. His is a style which leads one to look for big things from him in the future. He has a head, and uses it. Leonard is gaining welght, soon will be unable to defend his title. He would heat Zivic now, be- cause of his greater defensive skill and his knowledge of the fighting game, but Jack woud give him a tougher battle than any, of the others. and For an example of gameness, the performance of the negro lad, De Hart Hubbard, of the University of Michigan, in the finals of the broad jump in the Olympics {s hard to beat. On his first leap, something more than 24 feet, Hubbard suffered a painful injury to his leg—pulling one of the muscles badly. Refusing to quit, although the coaches would have had him do so, assuring him that his negro team- mate, Gourdin, would win, Hubbard took one more jump. He was suffering torture from his injury, but he hit the take-off game- ly and hurled himself through the air, his Jump measuring 24 feet 6 inches, - Then flesh and blood could with- stand no more, and the game little negro Jay In agony until he was car- ried into the dressing room, Half and hour later, while trainers still were working over him, he learned that his effort had been successful and that he had the honor of being a first-place winner for Uncle Sam, vt EE os cee In England women tn Parliament are now being succeeded by women in the pulpit.
