Gould It seems to be one of the privileges bt1 our" Great Men In sports to be a trifle, forgetful. If not Inaccurate about the details. Things about which some furor may be made In the prints or the record books or among the fans do not seem to register any lasting mem ories with the performers themselves. Ninety-nine out of every 100 box ing fanatics who recall the Dempsey Flrpo fight, either by hearsay or as an eye-witness, dwell at much length on , the "mighty blow" by which the Wild Bull flung our champion right out of the tng Into the lap of Mr. Jack Lawrence, them on the staff of the New York Tribune. . But Dempsey will toll you, as he has told me, that the hardest blow he 'took In that fight was the very first punch that Flrpo landed, a right to ihe Jaw delivered as they rushed from their corners. In fact Dompsoy says he saw at loast three Firpos for it he remalndor of that hectic ilrnt round and on that .baals he floored each of them 3 1-3 times. 1 ! 1 Hutu's Memory Falls . Most any small American . addict of jthe' national sport of baseball knows more about the details of the great O. Herman Ruth's clouting records than the genial Babe him self. "l put to him the anmo query that had been handed me: "Do you know how many homers you have hit off Lefty Grovo or what pitcher you hit for the most homers altogether?" He, couldn't even mako a guess. I told him the count was nine off Grave and. so far as I could locate, 14 each off George Drubs and How ard Bhmke, for the high mark off any f linger. "What about that Walberg?" he countered. "X rmista hit plenty off him. Why I nicked him for seven one year, 1037, when I made the rec ord." At the moment we were in the Yankee dugout, Although skeptical I could not dispute the great man until I took another ddve Into the record books, finding that unless the official scorers had astigmatism Ruth collected only four homers off Wal berg In 1027. The IWihe 'Fixed lllm' There's a classic story told about the days when Ruth was a great left handed pitcher for the Red Sox, mowing the enemy down with speed and rare control. The Babe had Instructions between Innings to '"dust off" one of the op posing batsmen expected to come up lii the next Inning. He was given EKDIEIFir the name and nodded; In complete agreement and understanding. As It happened this particular batsman was replaced but It didn't mean anything to Ruth. He followed orders enywny, "got his man" and then came In to the bench chuck llngl "Well, I guess I fixed so-and-so the way you told me, didn't I?" Babe Ruth, In his twentieth major league season, Is approaching Iho 700 mark in homo runs. He needs only 48 this year to reach that grand total. A few years ago the remark was made in this column that the Babe's aggregate - would be something for the boys to shoot at for the rest of our life-time. It Is still virtually cer tain that no other player Inside of the next ten years will hit his 700th big league home run, but beyond that nothing can he predicted with any degree of certainty; not when two strong-armed and broad-backed young men, llko Jimrnlo Foxx and Henry Lou Gehrig are hot on the slugging trail. Gehrig is farther along tho road now, with a total of 267 homers to his credit In eight consecutive sea sons, but Lou is so years old. Even If he lasts hb long In regular harness as tho remarkable Ruth and keeps his batting eye undlmmed, Gehrig will have to average more than 40 circuit blows per season to touch the Babe's grand total. He should hit his 300th this year. 1 .11 nun Ic IH'st llet Foxx, only 26 now, had his big year In 1032 whon ho came within two wallops of tying Ruth's major league record of 60 for a single sea son. He has only been playing reg ularly since 1028. His aggregate homo run output was 174 up to the start of this season and he Is beyond the 200 mark now. Olvo Foxx as long as baseball life as Ruth, with about 16 more years of active play, and he will need to average close to 36 homo runs per season to top the 700 mark. It's possible, therefore, for either Gehrig or Foxx to shoot for the rec ord over the next 10 or 15 years, but It must be remembered, that the competition Is tougher, the pitchers getting better and the ball no live lier. Nether Jlmmle nor Lou now has a chance to plaster the kind of a "rabbit" ball that Ruth started to batter all over the premises In 1020. Still the A's first Backer Is doing as well this year as he was In 1032 and he has tho power to drive any , ball out of the park when ho con- i nects. Gehrig, howevor, has not been finding the range as often as usual this season. ?7.100 Worth of Tonic One of tho big reasons Tor tho great rush of the New York Olants Is little Hughlc Crltz. who covers the ground around second base like a circus tent, and the -story behind this is that It cost the club some thing like 97600. That was tho amount the Giants paid for young Byrne James, flashy Texas League lnflelder, a year ago when It looked as though CritK's arm was about through and that a re placement likely would be required for 1933. But as soon as Crltz saw James scampering around) In spring train ing, things took a change for the hfltlAIV Wlfh tlld Inh fit olni. U,.,.1,,A beann tnklnrz nmrn ihnnri wliti hi 1 arm. Finding no 111 effects from this pressure, Crita tossed caution asldo and has been going groat guns ever since. He has been fielding and hitting better than In yenrs, while young Mr. James warms tho bench.
