The Yankees beat Detroit 10 to 1, and Ruth knocked in two of ‘he runs in the eighth inning when ke rammed a mammoth of a hit over the corner of the center fleld fence. It was his thirty-sixth homer of the vear, his longest of this or any other year, and longer than the recent homer by Harry Heilman, at the time described as the longest hall ever hit. The Heilman hit, on the word ot he ground keeper, was described as being 610 feet from the plate to where it struck outside the grounds. That ball crossed the center field fence four panels of fence from the corner. Rutk’'s went over the corner, and if Heilman’s went 610 feet Ruth’s went €50. There may be some exaggeration in these calculated distances, for it foes not seem possible a ball can be sent that far, but this ball would have Zone well up into the center field bleachers in New York.

Chicago He Once Chicago, .July 19.— Charles A. Com- iskey, owner of the White Sox base- ball club, was the first witness of the opening day of the trial of seven former baseball players and four al- leged gamblers charged with thg *‘fix- ing” of the 1919 world's series, Cemis- key drew his coattails about him as he passed the former stars and made his way to the stand. They looked up at him in pathetic endeavor to catch his eye, but he paid no attention to them. , Comiskey furnished an unexpected sensation when he suddenly leaped from his 'chair during his cross-examination and shook his fist in the face of At- torney Benedict Short. Attorney Short had been questioning him with refer- ence to his baseball career. “Is it not true, Mr. Comiskey,” he * inquired, ‘‘that when you left the Cin- cinnati National league club of which you had been first baseman and mana- ger, you jumped your contract? “‘That is not true,” declared the wit- ness, leaping toward the -attorney. Other attorneys hastily interposed to prevent what appeared to be an attack on Attorney Short. Judge Friend ordered the question and answer strick- en from the record. “I never jumped a contract and I never broke my word,” Comiskey fur- ther declared. Before the state opened its direct ex- amination of the witness, Prosecutor George E, Gorman announced that complete immunity is to be given William Burns as the price of his testi- mony.
