FOSTER (Copyright 1926, The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, June 1—If there is anything that can beat the team batting in the National League! for | yet never made one. an upset of form It hes not been pro- duced. There isn't any form to tt. The Phillies weren't picked to bat the ball hard endugh to put a dent in a squash ple, let alone lead the eipeult with 325 right on the very dawn of Decoration Day, which is always a land mark in baseball. Decoration Day is the day of the pointer that usually gives a fine on what tee spring has done for good and bad alike Fourth of July gives a line on the pennant because a team that far along and going well. will stick as a rule unless it meets with accident. Of course, in the case ofa double or @ triple tie, or approximately one, there is a chance for everybody, The Pittsburgh Pirates were nom- inated to have some batting strength with Carey, Cuyler and Barnhardt, to say nothing of Wright and Tra; nor. The St. Louis Cards, who were figured by their optimistic boss as being the best batters and the heay- jest run-getters in the circult are hitting 287, It would have -been a fair wager 25 to 1 that the Phil- Mes would be 15 pointe behind St. Loyls on Decoration Day. Instead they are 88 points ahead. Here en- ters another shifting of the batting muse. The Gignts are @vatting 285, loge than Pittsburgh, St, Louls and Philadelphia, but leading the league with a emoke screen scattered@ by tween them and the-enemy. And there are also the Cincinnatis, whieh are tatlenders in batting, ut- terly confuting all that Jack Hen drieks, thelr manager predicted for them, vet running much closer to form than he was willing to admit, The one preat fact to be gained fyom a survey of these National League figurés Is that the Giants get there’ not only because they are good fielders and their pitchers are handled with rare gambling success, but becausé they can hit the ball with runners on the bases -That ter tells more about the Giants’ ess than the batting figures do.

Whatever else may be eaid ft the New York Yankees, their weak- nesses and shortcomings it must be sald that Bob Meusel has done what he could in his wee small way to keep the ex-champions in the melee, When Babe Ruth returns to his old form the burden of hitting gome runs now and then in the day's werk will fall once more on his shoulders. But Meusel can now be given credit for tying to keep the homerun hon ors in the kee family while the Bib Babe was recovering from too many hotdogs and fried potatoes and the resultant ills. With Babe Ruth out of the cir- cult-clouting race Meusel stepped into the breagh and battled Ken Wil- ams and the Aher A, L, hitters for home run honors and ambled along at a pace that made Leo Hart- togers Hotrishy and the other National League sluggers step, hit the runner was forged until the batter ¥ ahead of} ee Oe aE \Mickey Walker Is Tricked By Boxing Heads| BY FAIR PLAY (Copyright 1925 The Casper Tribyne) | NEW YORK, June 1—Tho New York boxing commission haw pulled a smart tritk on Mickey.

Bob hasn't even foynd a regular place in the Vernon team’s lineup in the months he had played with them. He joined Vernon in 19'7 and Played four games ot first that fear. The next season, during the time he was with the club he played two games in the outfield. The next year he played the whole reason through at third base.
