Stone trained with the Pirates this spring but was sent to Hartford under an optional jagreement for seasoning 5 |still a matter of uncertainty. Who is the greatest right-handed batsman in baseball? Unquestionably that honor lies be- tween Rogers Hornsby of the St. Louis Cardinals and Harry Heilmann of the Detroit Tygers. A vote of the pitchers in the two major organizations would probably reveal the fact that there is little to choose between them. Hornsby and {lmann are two | right-handed batters who have refus- ed to yield to the general belief that the left-handed hitter is supreme. In 1921 when Hornsby led the Na- tional League with an average of .397 and Heilmann showed the way in the American with a .394 total, these two great right-handed batters performed the unusual in baseball. They Led Leagues The records reveal the fact that not since 1904 had two right-handed bat- ters led the major 1éagues in the same year. When Hornsby and Heilnann turned the trick in 1921, it was the first time it had happened in a span of 16 years. 2 ‘When it comes to leading the major ROGERS AND HARRY GR. leagues in batting, batters have a decided edge. In the last 17 years Harry Heilmann is the only right-handed batter to top the American handed batters like Ty Cobb, Speaker, George Sisler Stone have carried off the hitting honors.

Tri In the National League the righ made a much close Hitting Around .400 Now The year 1923 looks as if it might be another season in which the right- handers Hornsby and Hellmann have been hit- ting around a .400 clip since the open- ing of the season.

The style of Hornsby and Heilmann at the bat is somewhat similar. Both have a tendency to take a healthy swing at the ball. Pitchers in their respective league work on the theory that slowing up ‘on these two great hitters is most essential. True, a slow ball at times seems to bother both of | them, yet if the next pitch is the same style of ball, they may knock it over the fence. In only one feature of batting does there appear to be much difference and that is in consistency. Heilmangp has arrived with a vengeance for only about the last four years, while Hornsby for perhaps twice that time has been one of the stellar batsmen of the National League. Both are now waging a thrilling battle for supremacy in their respec- tive leagues, In each organjzation a bunch of crack left-handers are at- tempting to oust them. Perhaps it would be well to render a draw deci- sion on the pair and permit their averages at the close of the season to speak for themselves as to su- premacy among the right-handers. is t- JACK DEMPSEY AND FIRPO TO MEET N TITLE FIGHT TENDLER ALSO ANXIOUS FOR WALKER'S LAURELS Lefty Lew Is Convinced He Never Can Match to Be Promoted by Rickard in New York, With Date and Site Unde- termined. New York, July 26.—Jack Dempsey, world's heavyweight champion, and Luis Angel Firpo, his challenger from the Argentine, have been matched for a title bout, probably in September, at a site within or close to New York. Promoter Tex Rickard announces that articles binding the match had been signed by Firpo and Jack Kearns, the champion’s manager, but he declared the date and place wero‘ “You can say that the match is signed, sealed and delivered,” Rick- ard said, “and that it will be held in the United States, but I can give no other details now. I had expected to have all arrangements completed to- day, but there are several matters yet to be adjusted. I hope within a day or two, to be able to fix the time and site, however.” Belief that Rickard had the Polo Grounds in mind as the probable site | was strengthened by information that he had held another conference with Charles A. Stoneham, president of the New York Giants. There also was | considerable speculation over possible | dates, with the probability that the | | bout would be staged sometime he- | tween Sept. 5 and 22.

He and Stratton of the New Haven department were tied for first place with a jump of 17 feet, 4 inches, It was decided to toss a coin to decide which would take home first place cup and Stratton won. “Del” Veley scored a few points for his department in the 12 pound shot put, taking second place. “Tom"” Feeney showed his heels to the fleld in the 100 yard dash closed to policemen of five years' service.

Crozier Sets Record as Short Ship Program Opens Greenfleld, July 26.—Bllly Crozier set a record for Bay State Circuit reinsmen for the present season when he won two races and finished second In a third on the opening day program of the clrcult at Green River Driving Park yesterday after- noon. Mauna Loa in the 2:12 trot and Alvin Pointer in the 2:17 pace were the horses to finlsh in front, while Don Setzer was second to the great Commodore Wilson in the two- year-old trot. The times were slow, all the horses going long miles as the inside of the track for a distance of 10 feet was unfit to race over because of the heavy rain which stopped only a few hours before the first race was called at 3:16 o'clock. A smaller crowd than usually takes in the opening day program was present, the uncertain weather keeping many away from the park. YANKS CREASE LEAD.

Parls, July 26 — The result of the world’s featherweight championship bout between Johnny Dundee and Eugene Criqui is awaited throughout France with elmost as much excite- ment as was that of the Dempsey- Carpentier “battle of the century” and the interest is by no means con- fined to boxing enthusiasts.
