Says National League llurlingt Improving

PITTSBURGH. Aug. 2'! -(Al')— Ralph Kiner, Pittsburgh Fir-ales‘ homenun slugger. says national league pitching “is getting better."

That's a significant statement from a hitter who's hammered more home runs — S - than any other player in the majors this year.

"when I first broke in with the Pirates three years ago." Kiner re- calls, "the league wee chuck full of throwers -— guys trying to fire .the bell past you.

"Now the pitchers are using thcir- heads and playing corners.

"That's why a lot of betting averages have dropped — at least that's the way I've got it figured."

Anyone talking to Kiner usually mentions the record 60 homers sgammmed by the late Bebe Ruth in

The Pittsburgh star. currently six four-buggers behind t.l'ie Bam- binrfs house-hitting pace. has his eyes on the Ruthian mart — but:

"A fellow would have to be hitt- ing awfully good to send that many balls out of the park." he 5111's, "The only way I figure it will ever be done is if some hitter] 001115 P11! together two home run streaks durirg e season."

What's more. Kiner poinh out. "I don't think it will ever be done by e right-handed hitter. ‘Iihe left field fences in most major league parks are too far away."

INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. m (AP) — Joe Louis, retired heavy- weight boxing champion of the world, still isn“t saying when he'll file his retirement statement with the New York Boxing Convmis- sion.

nr nsvm s. wmkin

DETROIT, Aug. 1| - (AP) ._. New speed records were predictcd tonight as nearly a soon of the world's most powerful speedbcats awaited the starting heat tomorrow of the historic Gold Cup race_

‘lihe number of craft that will start in the famed powerboat class- ic probably will not be determined until just before the first 30 mile heat scheduled for 1.06 pm. EDT. Saturday. The predictions of new records. however, were based on the fact that nearly a dozen of the contestants can do better than 100 miles an hour on the streighteways.

Around the three-mile coirrse in the Detroit River the winner will probably have to top D0 miles en hour. '

The fastest three-mile lap in Gold Cup competition was run by Miss Golden. Gate. in 10H. when Dan Arena hit ‘H.531 miles an hour_

Min Golden Gate. now named Miss Greet Lakes. and entered from Detroit. and Tempo VII, have qualified for this year's race. So. too. has Miss Canada III. of Ingersoll. Ont.

United States Lady Golfers In Final

BY REUBEN’ CIPIN " (ﬁnldhn Preﬂ Staff Writs)

RIVERBIDI 0014'!‘ CLUB Saint John, N. B, August 2'1 — (C?) — Canada's hopes of bringing the Canadian ladies’ open golf championship back home dis- appeared today when two Amreri- can golfers. including the defend- ing champion, made s. double- barrel victory of the iii-hole semi- finals.

Miss Grace Lenczyk of Newing- fon. Conn. who defeated Mia Ads Mackenzie of Toronto 5 and 4 in the final at Toronto last evening was impressive again today.

Mrs. Eddie Bush of Wilmington, Del, was carried to the 19th green before she could dispose of Mrs. Graeme Pyke of Hudson Heights.

Que.

The all-American final tomorrow will be a. {id-hole affair; the sernl- finals and earlier rounds were over the Iii-hole distance.

Lest year at ‘Iloronto Miss Lenczyk ‘won 12 and 11 in the final against Mrs. F. I. Mulquecn oi‘ ‘Iioronto. and it was Mre. Mulqueen who eliminated Mrs. Bush in the 1947 quarter-final.

The 21-year-old Connecticut girl gave a brilliant display under e. sizzling sun in turning back Miss Ads Mackenzie. who has held the title five times.

Miss Lenczyk went two up at the start, halved the next two and then took four in a row from her more experienced opponent. They halved the ninth. leaving Miss Lenczyk six up at tihe turn,

She had birdies on the second, fifth and eighth. and her approxi- mate rnedal score for the first nine was 36. three under par.

Miss Mackenzie failed to win a hole before succumbing to the long driving and sparkling putting of her opponent.

Miss Lenczylr won the 10th and halved the 11th and 12th to end the match. She was over par only at one hole. the 10th, where me took a four against Miss Mee- kensieb two-over five.

'l‘hc champion rules a strong favorite over Mrs. Bush in the final. The Wilmington golfer wss given s dogged battle by Mrs. Pyke, who has played steady golf throughout the tournament.

At the fifth hole Mrs_ Pyks went one up with a par three. but Mrs. Bush put the match all square again at the long seventh with a par five. She moved to the front again on the home nine. only to have Mrs. Pyke square the match

at the 18th.

Many Interesting Episodes In Career Of Babe Ruth

(h lee ldelslr) \

NIW YORK, Aug. 27- (AP)_ Babe Ruth never gloafsd over the hundreds of horns rune he bit. nor did he ever deride any of his victims-with one exception.

That exception wss ‘southpaw Fred. Coumbe, w-ho hurled for Boston Red Box. Cleveland m- dians and Cincinnati Reds.

It was strange indeed that Babe should single out the lone home run he hit off Cournbe as "the one that gave me my greatest setisfaction- oven greater than tbs ones I hit off Hub Prueit. Willie Sherrie! or Charley Root.”

Coumbe and Ruth came up to the Red 50x together in 1914. Tnc two didn't get along from the start. After several weeks Coumbe wss sold to the Indians. but the bad ‘eeiings between the twe still existed.

"I never learned why, but he wss obsessed with one thought- and that was to show ms up," Bebe once told the story. "When- ever we played against the In- dians and I wss slated in pitch. Coumbs would ask Pee Fohi. the Cleveland manager. to let him pitch. I opposed him three times

in i015 and '10, and whipped airs '

on all three him out twice.

"We played the Indians one day in 1919. They were involved in a tight pennant-race with tne Ghciago White Box. I was an out fielder by that time. Cleveland opened up s big lesd but we kept inning we trailed by three runs. We loaded the bases in our half. and I came to bet.

"Coumbe rushed otf the bench and pleaded with Fbhl to put him in. lie insisted he knew how to Ditch la me. HO bflﬂtd that I had never hit a home run off him.

Fohl gave in-end sent him in to pitch. I picked the first pisch for s grand-slam home run to win the same. Tbs next day Coumo: was on his way to the minors and Fohl was released."

Ruth met Ooumbe again in the spring of 1922 in an exhibition game. Coumbe was with Cincir- nati.

“Yep. old Ooumibe was out there °l i116 mound." Babe chuckled ‘and the fire was still in his eye. l-Ie was all set to get even for that ‘lucky’, home run I hit off hlrn three years sgo.

“Well. I banged three home runs off him. . . ." Ruth related. "That was the last game Oournbe pitch. ed for the Reds. He was handed his release the next day." _

Fans llonor Sports Rotund Raconteur

TORONTO, Aug. I -- (C?) — Baseball was secondary at the ball perk tonight when oneof sport- dom's most-lovable characters. rotund and aging Tommy Deiy walked the last mile in a geme he has served for 43 years.

It was Tom Daiy night and be- fore the Maple Leafs played Syracuse Chiefs in en internation- l1 1918110 contest. man! lifts were showered on the master mssseur, inclu" , a $1,000 cheque from the Toronto baseball club_

Nobody seems sure of ‘lkxnrs age but he admits he's "getting up in years" end in 1943 he turned over his dressing table chores with the baseball Leafs to Billy smith. and assumed the role of club public relations officer. He resigned that post this month.

But ‘rum — also known es ‘rim — won't qult sport. He sees an important duty ahead of him this winter in helping Conn Bmythe and Toronto's hockey Leafs keep the Stanley cup. Smythc. like most of Tom's bosses. has fired the rugged reconteur but none of the dismissals ever "'took."

"I hate to give up baseball.” said Tom. "It was any first love after I qult boxing. ‘But. I'm _, ‘ ‘ up in years and this modern hockey which runs all over the calender domsnde much of my personal attention”

more has been much kidding about Tomb boxing ability but records show that in 1903 he won two Toronto and one Dominion championshi in featherweight an lightwekht classes. '

Among the entries we no- tice a large number oi’ our Island trottere and pacers.

Glancing hurriedly over the summaries of the Maine race meets we notice that EarleAveryb stable is picking up quite a. num- ber oi‘ firsts and piacings in other classes. ‘The Free For Alls up there are being dominated by that neat pacer Dr. Brodie 2:03. sold at Harrisburg last fall. I-Ie is win- nlh! $1,000 and $2.000 free-for- alls via the straight route. At Gorham Tip Abbe was second to him in 2:07 2-5, which is the last- est mile we have noticed. At that meetinc Ann Olegg won the Ciss- sified Pace. purse $660, with 1-1, best time 2:10 1-5.

Some time ago there appeared in this column a statement re the trotter Jackie C. 2:11, which had been raced under the name of Les Watts. In writing it wo had in mind the fact that a United States owner had raced this horse at Batavie Downs in the fall of 194d and started him undn- the

fictitious name of Lee Watts, a trotter supposedly owned by him. sired by Lee Winans, dam Miss Bell Watts. Afterwards he ship- ped his three horse stable to Tor- onto, giving the name of Lee Watts to the Customs officials as the trotter Jackie C. This horse was afterwards disposed of to a Canadian purchaser and we learn that the said purchaser did not have any idea. that the horse was otherwise then represented. Later when he advertised him for sale he was still conﬁdent that the horse was Lee Watts. since then the United States ‘rrotting As- sociation has discovered that Lee Watts is a ringer and his name is Jackie O. 2:11.. In our eum- ming up of the transaction we mentioned that the man who did the ringing would be barred from U.S.T.A. tracks as that is the only penalty for ringing. ‘This had no reference to the Csnedien purchaser of Lee Watts. We are glad to make this statement es we have no desire to cast any reﬂection on the Canadian pur- chaser, who no doubt was put to a great deal of expense srnd in- convenience.
