New York, Sept.

But over in Pittsburgh where the boys have ben studying world's serics songs for the past month, they are gleomier than ever and all on ac- count of the Reds.

The Yankee and teams closed up their home offic yésterday and started on the road. The Yanks bought tickets for Boston with stepover privileges at Chicago, St. Louis, Detroit, Cleveland Philadelphia, in the order named, where they are sure to see plenty of sights.

Fort Worth, Tex., Sept. 8,.—Babe Ruth's home run record of 59, set in 1921, which ‘critics said would stand for all time, may be shattered this year. And by Clarence “Big Boy" Kraft, first baseman of the Fort Worth Panthers, and home run king of the Texas League. Going into the game of Sept. 4, Kraft had a total ‘of 58 four-baggers to his credit for the season. On Aug. 25 he shattered the minor league record of 49, set last year by Moses Solomon. The previous record was 45, set by Perry Warden in 1895, Kraft, starting from Aug. 25, had. 21 games left in which to hit 10 more homers to break Ruth's record. For the last two years he has always hit 10 the last 20 days of the season. He is at the top of his form right now and his chances of breaking the record are better than ever. Fort Worth civic clubs are raising $10,000 to be presented to Kraft if he breaks Ruth's record of 59. The fans will net stand for him to be purposely passed and their howl counts some. Especially since Fort Worth has cinched the pennant. Kraft's feat should not be looked upon lightly, for as a minor league performance it is equally as great as Ruth's. Most of the parks are as large as those in the American league. Kraft is a right-handed bats ter and gets his drives over the left or centerfield walls, The Fort Worth slugger is not a big leaguer and prebably never will be. He is only an ordinary first sacker, but at bat he s the punch of mits 36 vears and he is the same slugger who was playing with Evans- ville back in 1909. He came to Fortd: the club. Kraft is a veteran. He ad-b GIANTS, 35,000 fter Ruth’s: Worth in 1918, Kraft has led the league in scveral epartments—in home runs, in runs atted in, in total bases and in AM strike-outs. Yes, sir, “Big Boy Kraft” is shoot- ing at 60 or more homers this year and his chances are better than ever.

Paddock's feats of tying the world's records in the 100 and 200 yard dashes were the outstanding performances of the competition. Although he barely nosed Loren Murchison and Alf Leconey in the century and had the advantage of a breeze, his running in the furlong was unquestionably sensational, There was no wind\ during this event and Paddock beat Murchison to-the tape by four yards in a final burst. ¢ Murchison, who lost the nationa championships to Paddock in both races, retaliated to some extent yes. terday by clipping 7-10 seconds from the world 'record established by Paddock for the 250-yard dash two weeks ago. The new time is :24.7-10. Herb Meyer ran the 80- yard low hurdles in :09 9-10 for a new world's record, which, however, may not be accepted becamse of its unstandardized distance. G.
