BOSTON, June 11.—They hit the bali hard in the old days also, if the records | of base ball's local historians are to be believed. Digging deep into their list of ;| precedents, instance of home-run hitting that ex- cels that of the Philadelphia-Detroit were made. ‘Without reference to any question of a lively ball, or of pitchers restricted in the manner of delivery, it is written that on Memorial day, 1894, on the old Congress street grounds here, nine home runs were made. Bobby Lowe cracked out four of these, “Bug” Holliday had two and Herman Long one. Jimmy Canavan and Harry Vaughan of the Cincinnatis also had one each. 45 HOME RUNS IN WEEK. 32 of These Are Driven Out in American League. The “lively ball” was responsible for forty-five home rums in the major leagues in a week, according to figures released today, and which include games of last Wednesday. The Amer- ican League is credited with thirty-two of these. The Yankees have bagged thirty-four circuit drives. The Athletics have thir- ty-two_round-trip blows to their credit. The New York Giants top All the clubs in the National League and are tied with the Athletics at thirty-two. RUSSELL SOME CLOUTER. “Reb” Russell, former White Sox, continues to be the Babe Ruth of the American Association. The Minne- apolis club bagged four homers in the past week and Reb made half of them, bringing his string up to eleven. Del Gainer of Milwaukee stole an- other base and is showing the way with thirteen. Butler of Kansas City continues to top the batters with an average of .441. Hauser of Milwaukee continues as runner-up, with .408, while Kirke of Louisville boosted his mark to .404. BOONE IS HITTING .391. 1. M. Boone of New Orleans contin- ues in front in the Southern League batting, with an average of .391. Guyan, Atlanta, who was in fifth place a week ago, has become the runner-up, with an average of .380, while Hungling of Memphis, who wat second last week, dropped into a tie with Don Brown of Little Rock for third place, with .376. Anderson of Chattanooga bagged a brace of homers and has brought his | string up to eight, while Traynor of i Birmingham is far in front of the [ base stealers, with twenty-two.

When Georges can stand away and measure a punch, either right or left handed, he can certainly sock it home. But in close his blows seem to lack force, while at the same time he doesn’t cover up as he should if he expects to survive oocasional close contact with the champion. Jack is in a happy mood over the complete recovery of his dog, Sophie Ginsberg, from injury sustained when she was struck by a motor car. But Sophie herself is not feeling so_good, because by strict order of Kearns Dempsey's pets are no longer per- mitted to go on the road with him. Goes Back on Dog; Beaten. Speaking of dogs, a sporting man who was at Corbett’s camp in Carson when Gentleman Jim was training for Fitzsimmons tells the following story: “In the days before Jim fought Sul- livan he bought a collie for $10. He named him Ned. He had him with him when he trained for Sullivan; the dog accompanied the master to New Or- leans and later appeared in the train- ing scene in Corbett's first: theatrical venture, “Gentleman Jack.” When Corbett was training for Mitchell the dog was In the quarters, and one night when Mitchell heelers tried to enter Corbett's room and maim him it was Ned who gave the alarm. Ned loved y one person in the world—Corbett. orbett went to Europe after the Mitchell fight and turned Ned over to a man named Norton. While he was training at Carson Harry Corbett brought a beautiful collie up from Frisco and Corbett took the animal to Carson. When William A. Brady, Cor- bett's manager, left New York to join Corbett he decided Jim would be de- lighted were he to take Ned out west. This he did. “As Brady and Ned entered the quarters there sat Corbett with the head of his new dog in his lap. Ned, wild with jealousy, flew at the other dog and in a second there was the TLANTIC CITY, N.

June 11.—If Jack Dempsey carries all of the tokens of good luck sent him into the ring when he faces Georges Carpentier at Jersey City July 2 he will weigh about one ton. The ~heavywelght champion receives from 50 to 300 letters daily, each con- taining some sort of a trinket, which. the senders declare, surely will bring him good luck if worn inside his belt. Good luck pennies of ancient date, rabbits’ feet, various medals and minia- ture dolls are some of the things which a loaded-down postman dumps into the champion’s front door every morning. Paddy J. O'Brien, a Chicago admirer of the champion, read that Carpentier received a rabbit's foot found in a Mis- souri graveyard in the moonlight by a blind_negro. O'Brien decided the foot would bring bad luck because something must have been wrong with the rabbit. So he sent Dempsey a sprig of sham- rocks, suggesting that he conceal them in_his corner for good luck. Dempsey also received a silk belt made of small American flags, with the request that it be worn in the arena. PR Duncan of Cincinnati also recently 1ifted the ball over the fence at the Reds’ park.
