Gorman, who is always popular here because of his will- ingness to fight, is never out of condition because he is just naturally strong and he keeps himself fit all the time. Ridley has boxed here but once since his rise to the front ranks |going to a draw with Earl Baird— and then departing for the South. ‘The little Seattle boy has had a long rest—something that he noeded jfor & long time When he was box- ing in California he didn't have Jenough rest between bouts and the consequence was that he went stale | for a while, 4 Sam Langford wftl action here after the Frank Parmer be the next big jorman mix, when they bex for Austin & Salt at the Arena on October 13.

But here's the joker in the plot. The pitcher lobs a wide one up that the batter couldn't touch with a tele graph pole and his catcher is all set to hop out and grab it the minute the ball is on its way. “Babe” Ruth is the most intention. ally walked man in baseball. He's| called the king of baseball pedestri He was handed 101 compli-| mentaries last year. But with his| home run fame on the up and up this season, he finished the season around the 125 mark.

Bob doesn't fight too often which keeps him fit. He looked mighty good in his last start in which he gave Muff Bronson a bad beating.
