Sport Slants
- j By Alan J. 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.
