Handicapped by a late start and lack of condition, he is beginning to “do his stufi.” Facing a Philadelphia south- paw, about the sourest thing there is in the pitching line, and with two men on the bags and the game hanging in the balance, the Babe smeared one. It is going yet. The pitcher was Heimach and the men on the bases were Witt and Ward. Just to keep the record straight, it was June 3. At this time a year ago the Babe had sixteen homers.

It was too much lollypop from a baby. fed all week by our amateur anglers, they were naturally fed up.

He didn't have a $30 fishing outft to yank trout of a lake. Yet history tells that the Injun boy grabbed many a meal from the laughing waters. It only goes to show what a chap can du if he isn't fed up on correspondence school junk on how to nab a fish. The official party of urbanites now troll- ing the lakes for trout are able to report progress in this respect: It has been discovered that you don’t need bait for a fish-hook to catch in your shirt. It can be done with practically any outfit and without any spec effort. And the satisfactory part of catching one's shirt with a fish-hook is that the shirt will always stay jal To-day the fish wouldn't even bite, like snatching a Having been ‘The main trouble with all these modern fish is that they don't Fletch- erize. Instead of taking a healthy side order of worms and munching them steadily, the salmon and trout that abound in Maine have a rotten habit of just-taking a bite and then scooting quickly away. Later on they come back for a few more bites until TAKES FIVE HOURS FOR KUHN TO WIN TITLE IN JUNIOR “MET” FINAL The metropolitan junior tennis cham- pionship in singles was won by Ernest Kuhn after a stubbornly fought match with EB, Stein, The two exchanged drives for nearly five hours in the final round of the tournament at the New York Tennis Club, and the test finally came down to one of endurance, ‘The scores were 46, 6—2, 2-6, 6—0, 86, Stein was no less than six times within a point of winning the match in the fifth set, but Kuhn's persistency as a getter finally wore him down. _—_—_—S INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE.

The State passes laws protecting its fish, but not a single bill has slipped through the Legisla- ture prescribing the Fletcher process for fish. The result is that practically all of them are simply gorging them- selves and ruining their digestions. And it isn't a very good advertisement for Maine that all its lakes have dys- peptic fish. A thing like that will ruin a State's reputation in time and pretty soon all that Maine will be noted for is its pine trees and its Pro- hibition. You can't avoid the pine trees no matter where you go. "ee It seems to be humanly impossible to do anything for local fish. You offer them food and they spurn it or else they grab it as if it were a quick lunch, You offer to take them out of the water and what they do in return for that is flop off your hook. This party of demon fishermen is just about tired of trying to help them out. If the fish don't want to get out of the lake, they can stay there and drown so far as we're concerned, On and after this day and date, we are not responsible for the well being of any fish in Maine. In other words, we're through with ‘em. e 8 The great expedition to the Rangeley wilderness is virtually at an end, and much can be said for Maine. The mountains are beautiful. The air ts invigorating. The lakes are wondrous things. But the fish—well, the fish are shrewd Yankee traders. They'll take your time, your energy and your bait, and all you get out of it is the exercise of reeling. That's about all you get out of Maine licker, too, but you don't have to spend so much time to locate it. And the educational phase of this pilgrimage is this: When you see those bulletins that the Maine railroads publish about five-pound salmon and trout being caught, it doesn't mean that you can catch them. Not even if you buy a round- trip ticket. Your next door neighbor, your boss or your grandfather may be able to trap a few, But not you. And fish is just the third course of any table d’hote unless you catch it your- self. And as they say in Russia, try and do it. DATES ARE DECIDED ON FOR DAVIS CUP TIES Admitting that in some quarters the affairs of the Davis Cup matches ap- peared a bit unseliled, officials of the United States Lawn ‘Tennis Associa- tion stated that the following dates had been determined upon yesterday. In the second round, France is to play Denmark at Copenhagen on June 17, 18 and 19. Italy will encounter the British Isles, in England, June 17, 19 and 20. Czecho-Slovakia has also agreed !- meet the Australasians in England, although no dates have been named, It Is a svcond pound match, and need not be completed until July 15. So it 1s probable that the players from the antipodes will postpone it until after the world’s chamlonship at Wimbledon the latter part. of this month, No dates have been set for the first round clashes ef Belgium and Australasia, or India and Roumania. a JIMMY CARROLL WINS FROM MURRAY ON FOUL]; What promised to be one of the ‘best lightweight matches ever held at the Commonwealth Sporting Club last Sat- urday night between Jimmy Carroll of the West Side and Johnny Murray of Harlem came to a sudden finish in the third round, when Murray hit Carroll a terrific left hook. BEFORE TACKLING OLD GLUB RIVALS Baseball's First Big Test of | Season Comes With * These Battles. By Bozeman Bulger. : MPENDING is the counter invasion / I of East and West—baseball's first — big test of the season. The week | of strife begins auspiciously—with a vacation. There is nothing dofhg to- day. The Cubs, drawing the sword against the Giants to inaugurate the intersectional feeling in the National» League cannot get here from Chicago until to-night. The fight opens to- morrdw, The Yanks, carrying the Eastern crusade into the West, ecannot,—by the same token,—arrive in Chicago to- day in time to swap punches with the White Sox. Therefore, the American League Champs will stop off in Rochester to play what the players refer to as one of those things. The Polo Grounds to-day, therefor: will be dark, ghostly. The race track though, should prosper. The nob! athletes were paid off Saturday. New Yorkers will have to do with out their baseball for one afternoon, anyway. They can't even see a kid game ‘till school is out. Two or three weeks ago neither the Cubs nor the Reds got more than an elevated eyebrow when discussed among players, managers, experts ani other camp followers. To-day those boys have become right smart of an irritant. The Browns and the Pirates are even worse. The Browns, you know, expect to win the pennant. Barney Dreyfuss, you might also re- call, still has the extra seats that were built last fall for a world's se ries in Pittsburgh. As a sort of advance booster for t}) Reds Walter Friedlander, principi owner and admirer of that club, is in our village. He says the Reds, dc spite their bad start, will be right up , among the contenders in less than u month. As proof of this he cites the recent humiliation of the Giants and others on their last descent into Cincinna’ Pil tell you one thi says Mr. Friedlander. gcing to give Eddie Rousch a thre. - year contract for $18,000 a year and wwe are not going to sell him, either By refusing to be held up like thal i think we are doing a good thing * for baseball even though it migh! burt our chances.

In the scant le is living out on his farm, saying that if he doesn’t get his price he quit baseball for good—or bad." Mr. Friedlander adds regretfully that George Burns, New York's old favorite, has not been hitting at all this season. “Lately, though, he has picked ur a little,” says the Red magnate. “We expect him to be a big figure in the race from now on, Daubert started! that same way for the Reds and then, won us a lot of ball games.’ 2 Though they are gone into the Wilds of Rochester the Yanks did no. leave us without a thrill. Twenty seven thousand fans went home lasi night with a lot of stuff to tell and retell to the home folks, Yes, the Bambino got his third home run. Yes, the Babe got it off a lefthand er, Mr, Heimach, the same young fellow he pasted for the circuit on the previous trips of the Athletics. Yes, Babe smashed the ole pill over the roof of the right field grand stand, between the third and fourth flag- poles. The same boy who gets all these homeric swats in Manhattan field, outside the grounds, must have - got this one. It was the doggonest poke that the Babe has made for the last two seasons. What's more it won the pastime. At the moment Ruth took tha’ heave from his shoestrings the Ath letics were two runs in the lead, riding pretty. A moment ®efore young Mr. Hel- mach had turned the vast crowd into an admiring uproar by striking out Rob Meusel and Wally Pipp with the bases full, and retiring Scott on a puny bounder. That was quite a piece of pitching. It looked dubious for our champs. Then things happened. In the next inning Schang opened with single. Mays struck out, but Elmer Miller hit safely, Ward did also and Schang scored. Then up came the Bambino. A moment later the pill went sailing out of the park, It was mighty satisfactory, fee NEW YORK STATE TENNIS SINGLES AGAIN GO OVER Officials of the Amackassin Club, Yon- kers, decided upon another postpone- ment of the semi-final round lawn ten- nis matches in the Eastern New York State champlonship singles yesterday.
