oe OTHER SPORTS BAERUHTELS Shower of Pop Bottles Spoils Double-Header Of Giants and Braves) "rr" | —_——— Home Team Captures Second Game After Losing Weird Opening Contest. By Charles Somerville. T took the Beanles so long yester- day to win the first game (3 hours 10 minutes) from the Giants and hen it took the cops half an hour to put puerile pop bottle artists in order, so that the Iaet game was lim- ited to seven innings. The Giants ‘only required six to win. The Giants were playing to thelr banner attendance of the season— fully 88,000. Rube Benton was class from the getaway. He passed none. With the exception of one inning he ‘Was always in command, In this con- test the Giants did It all in one inning “the third, “Rabbit” Mantnville Went to the bad trying to handle Larry Doyle's shot and Scott, Bean Dusher, passed Snyder, and Reuben fushed the bulb for a single and the bases were filled. Burney put out a ®acrifice fly, scoring Larry. Lefevre, Playing in Bancroft's place (tell you wbout that in a minute) fanned. Pep, howevershit a hot pound for a double @nd scored Snyder. Then Mr. Scott oblisted with a skid pitch that bang- ed the press cage and Rube and Pep plodded the happy road. ‘The Braves in the fourth put over a run that was doomed to stay lonely. Bingles by Mann, “Sullivan and Boeckel. But the second game was a polite fnd peaceful pastime. The first game ‘was the baby. “Shufflin’ Phil” Doug- las and Rudolph cyed each other. It ambled on gently enough until the @ighth—the score 1 to 1. “Shufflin’ Phil” led the way for his comrades im the third by banging a single, and George Burns emulated Phil wih a safe crack to left. Bancroft ditched @ biff in front of the plate and Shuf- flin's leg delivery was wretched. He ‘was tapped away at the rubber. But Ross Young's force of Bancroft ferved to score Snyder. But Holke and Boeckel and Jitney Ford con- Spired with three good raps that got them a run in the fourth. Nobody at this time forcearo disaster. Nobody foresaw that a storm -of bug- house by players and puodlic was im- mediately on the way. In the elghth the ham-and guy su Wenly blasted their best brand of TNT under Phil. He blew up for twelve miles. Maybe more. Cruise, first up in the tnning, kicked out with « left single. Holke hopped forth a twin of Cruise’s crash, Boeckel trotted it out to centre and scored Cruise, and Ford registered a safe knovk into left, scor- ing Holke. Gowdy flied out. Then Rudolph pucked a mild one to Phil. Phil slammed @ ©9 Ue plate to cut Boeckel down, but Midget Snyder dropped the bulb. This happy inci- dent was followed by a powerful crash. It stuck the leather into the right grand stand. And that's now the Beanies sud- dently clumped together six big runs. Seven to one, Enough to complete discourage any team, But the Guar don’t go down mildly these days. Beaut and Pep assailed Rudolph for singles, and Fordham Francis flashed another ‘out into centre that scored the Beaut Gowdy failed to grab a sling of Ru dolph’s and Pep and Frank went ab on the bases.

A free and easy swing is the one which I think connects most often with the ball, When I say free and easy don’t think I mean slow. mean fast with a great big F and with every ounce of weight and strength that can be put into the swing. My elbows are alwaya well away from my body when I poke at the ball; they aro not stuck out, of course, but far enough out to give complete freedom. ‘We come now to the matters of strength and weight. The big boys have a natural advantage in this re- spect, but would you think that there wae such a thing as being too mus- oular? There is. I know a batter in the American League who ts not much better than an ordinary hitter although he has a good eye, weight, science snd fine development. Ht trouble is that he is muscle bound— too strong to get @ good, easy swing at the ball. Strength 1s absolutely necessary to hit home runs consistently. And as I am out for a home run every time I get up to bat I always swing at the ball with all my might. I hit big or miss big, and when I miss I know it long before the umpire calls a strike on me, for every mueole in my back, shoulders and arms is groaning “You missed it!" And, believe me, it is no fun to miss a ball that hard. PUT OUT OF THE GAME WHEN - HE MISSED A BALL. Once I put myself out of the gamo for a few days by a miss like that.

In a little over five years more than one-half million Dodge Brothers Motor Cars have been placed in the hands of owners. If this sales record represented the appeal of a price, the total would not be particularly impressive. The important thing is that the car is not thought of in terms of price, but in terms of value. How often you hear the car spoken of—and how seldom the price! It fa the quality of thought that surrounds it which makes this success noteworthy. Because people think well of these cars, # is still impossible for Dodge Brothers to build enough of them, Seldom has there been a finer ex- ample of the force of friendly thoughts. It is an inspiration and an encour agement to build well—because the reward, in America, is so great and eo sure, With nothing but good will toward them in American homes— how could Dodge Brothers do less than they have done?
