Today the following special story from Cleveland adds another interesting an- gle to this little tale: It's His Bat Cleveland, O., July 19.—Babe Ruth is sure the original cuss. When the Babe isn't busy making home runs he is pulling something that will keep Judge Landis and Ban Johnson interested. In 1921 Ruth made 59 home runs. The lively ball in use was regarded as the big reason for the Babe's re- markable feat. If the Babe should come through this year with a goodly share of cir- cuit drives, in all probability an inves- tigation of the bat he uses will be de- manded. On July Ruth started to use a bat the like of which has never been seen in-the baseball world. Since that date Ruth has been on a swat spree that has greatly increased his home run record. Rule 15 of the playing code says that the bat used in baseball must be round, not over two and three- tourths inches in diameter at the thickest part, nor more than 42 inches in length and be entirely of hard wood. The bat that Ruth is now using with such great success is all that the rule says and then some. Instead of being turned out of one piece of wood, the bat is made of four distinct sec- tions, which are glued together. This unusual bat is said to be the outgrowth of an ldea advanced by Sam Crawford, in his day one of the greatest batsmen the game has ever produced. The bats are now being turned out at Whittier, Cal,, Craw- ford being interested in the company that s making them. With the ordinary bat there are al- ways parts of the wood that are weak because of the grain. As a matter of fact most batsmen so hold the bat that the grain will always be up when it comes into contact with the ball. Crawford's idea does away entirely with any weakness in the bat. The bat is constructed of four sections of the very hest selected wood, so that it is uniform throughout. It is known as the “quadrebuilt bat,” and the claim is made that it is many times stronger than the one-piece affair, Has Ruth the right to use such a bat? Does such a bat conform rules of baseball? It may be necessary for Ban John. son, Judge Landis and other high powers of baseball to pass on this question. The four-plece bat unquestionahly offers an opportunity for trickery. If such a bat was loaded at the point of contact with a heavy substance would it cause the ball to travel far- ther? Would a cork center in make for distance as it has ball? Constructing the bat of four dis- tinct sections would offer the possi- bility of pulling something, Is glue to be regarded as a foreign substance ? Crawford sent several of these bats to Ruth. The Babe is trying them out and is having unusual success. There could be no greater ad for a bat than the fact that Ruth is using it and making plenty of home runs, In all probability before many weeks have passed the ‘“quadrebuilt bat” will be as widely discussed as the “shine ball,” the “emery ball" and other widely known tricks of the trade.

Treasury Building for Fighting New York, July 19.—Negotiations towards a proposed world heéavy- weight boxing match between Jack Dempsey title holder and Luis Angel Firpo in the United States or Argen- tina may be continued today at an expected conference between Jack Kearns expressed preference for two Rickard, promoter. While the principal difficulty in connection with the proposed bout is thought to be its site, it also was un- [ derstood that another phase of the discussions begun yesterday among Rickard, Kearns, Firpo and Jimmy Deforest, trainer of the South Am- erican challenger crept out in the form of largeér financial demands by Firpo. In spite of skepticism of some news- paper opinion in Buenos Aires con- cerning the prospects of a sufficiently attractive “gate” for a proposed bout there, Firpo's native city, the chal- lenger has reiterated, his desire to meet Dempsey in Argentina, although Kearns expressed preferenc for two title bouts in United States the first with Firpo the other with Harry Wills; negro challenger, Rickard while not withdrawing his Argentine proposal merely stated “a number of things were holding up the negotiations’ and gossip that he might effect an agreement with Tom O’Rourke, matchmaker at the Polo Grounds for a championship battle there was received. JOHNSON STOPS JAMIESON Veteran Washington Pitcher Plugs Cleveland Man's Record—Had Hit 7 Timpes in 7 Tries At Plate. Cleveland, July 19.—Charlie Jamie- son, leftflelder of the Cleveland In- dians, obtained seven hits in as many times at bat before Walter Johnson, veteran Washington pitcher, stopped him yesterday. Jamieson connected safely his last time at bat Monday, hit five in a row off Mays Tuesday and led off the first time yesterday with a single. His next time up he grounded out but on his next appearance he drove out a double and finished the day with a base on balls.

White scored a technical knockout in the fourth round when Richie’s seconds tossed in a sponge as their man went down for the second time in the round from a battering attack to the jaw. Richie's handlers underwent a change of heart after their action and sought to have the fight continue but boxing commission officials at the ringside ruled otherwise and ordered the bout ended. The finish came only twelve seconds before the end of the round. ‘White's heavier punching had its effect on Mitchell from the start, but Richie, fighting gamely and aggres- sively, flashed occasional spurts that had his opponent on the defensive. Mitchell staggered White in the sec- ond round with two smashing rights to the jaw, after he had been nearly floored by one of the Chicagoan’s left hooks. Both emerged from the fray bleeding. Richie rallled again in the third when on the verge of a knockout but he was unable to follow up his ad- vantage. The fourth round witnessed White's finishing drive, a right to the jaw flooring Mitchell once and a right and left hook sending the Milwaukean down for the last time. White weighed 138 and Mitchell 138%.

The local boy will make a,tough opponent for Johnny and should he beat him, ' would logically take the crown away from the champ. Turner has devel- oped into an amazingly clever boxer, and his followers from the Elm City feel confident that he will allow no New Britainite to stand in his way of galning greater laurels, and they have a host of who will be on hand.
