RUTH AND KELLY DISTINCTLY
- OPPOSITE TYPES OF HITTERS
Rutk
The season's home-run monarchs to
date Babe Ruth of the Yankees and
George Kelly of the Giants are dis
tinctly opposite types of hitters. All
they have in common is the ability to
land with extraordinary p"bwer, the
ability to drag a bat up to the plate
and a great yearning to slam the ball
to realms beyond.
Both get the leverage of height and
a ' long reach, but in different ways.
Ruth Is a left-handed, slugger ; Kelly
hits from the other side of the platter.
Kelly inclines more to left-fiein hit
ting and Ruth to right-field hitting.
Kelly is a freer hitter than Ruth,
in the sense that he will hit to all
fields much oftener than Ruth. He
makes some home runs to right, but
it Is seldom, indeed, that Ruth hits to
left for a homer or otherwise. He
jolts 'em to center-right often, how
ever. Ruth is a freer hitter than
Kelly, in the sense that he will hit all
kinds, high, low, slow, fast curves
oftener than Kelly.
Kelly Is a wrist hitter, Ruth a long,

TY COBB'S WINNING METHODS

Kelly"
powerful swinger with the arms and
applied with such Intuitive use of the
principles of applying power that he
gets the benefit of every ounce of his
weight more than any slugger the
game has known he does this.
Kelly leans well forward and Ruth
does noti and Kelly's feet are further
apart. He has an awkward knee ac
tion, but has on advantage over Ruth
in that he can wait until the ball is
nearer before starting his swing. He
doesn't bring the bat forward from as
far back, but whips In savagely with
the .wrist, and thereby, plus excellent
timing, gets enormous power.
Ruth's Position Easier.
Ruth's feet are closer together than
Kelly's, much closer, with the left foot
In advance of the right. His position
at the bat is the easier of the two.
He holds the bat well, his arms back,
with the bat vertical. Kelly has the
bat pointing out backward, bat and
arms lower. With his wider stance,
he doesn't get as long a step forward
when about to swing.

J. RIGGS STEPHENSON
ATTRACTS ATTENTION
His Play Around Keystone Sack
Equals That of Veteran.
Injury to Bill Wamsganss, Unassisted
Triple-Play Hero of World's Se
ries, Gives Youth Chance
to Show Himself.
From the college campus direct to
the major leagues without previously
having seen a professional baseball
diamond is the unique record of J.
Riggs Stephenson, second baseman
with the world's champion Cleveland
Americans.
Stephenson probably is attracting as
Much attention as any player in the
big leagues. His play around the
keystone sack equals that of a vet
eran. When Bill Wamsganss, unassisted
triple-play hero of the world's series
last October, i sustained a fractured
arm during the trip north from the
spring training camp at Dallas, Mana
ger Tris Speaker filled the gap with
Harry -Lunte, utility infielder. A few
days later Lunte wrenched his ankle
and Speaker found himself without a
second baseman.
Stephenson, who signed with the
Indians last spring, was attending the
University of Alabama. He was to
have joined the team when he finished
J. Riggs Stephenson.
his studies in June. Speaker ex
plained the circumstances to the uni
versity officials and his request that
Stephenson be excused until May was
granted.
A week before his leave of absence
from college expired . Stephenson
learned that neither Wamsganss nor
Lunte would be ready to play by May
1, and he notified Manager Speaker
that he had decided to remain with
tne Indians all season. He will re
turn in the fall to complete his course
In engineering and receive his degree
in February.
Stephenson is an all-around athlete,
making the college baseball, football,
track and basketball teams and being
picked on All-Southern football, base
ball and track teams.
The Alabaman received a tryout
with the Indians at Dallas for two
weeks. This was the first profession
al diamond he had ever seen. He re
ported to Cleveland April 12, the day
before the American league season
opened.
Up to this year Stephenson played
shortstop on the University of Ala
bama team. Sewell was the second
baseman, but changed to shortstop
when he joined the New Orleans
Southern association team. At Speak
er's suggestion Stephenson switched to
second base.

Behave Yourself With Jockey Thompson Up. -
Jockey C Thompson, who rode Behave Yourself to victory in the Ken
tucky Derby, jumped from obscurity to fame In the brief space of two minutes
four and one-fifth seconds. Until the Lexington meeting opened Thompson
was unknown in the East, he having confined his riding operations to the
Far West, chiefly TIa Juana. He met with considerable success in that sec
tion, but his achievements there gave him little prestige, as he was pitted
against very ordinary riders.
When he was recommended to E. R. Bradley the latter purchased his con
tract, and results show that he has no cause to regret It. nis efforts on Be
nave Yourself were gilt-edged, and the manner In which he drove down to
snatch the highest honor on the American turf from Jockey Lawrence Lyke
was a revelation to the turfites.
Last year Thompson accepted 330 mounts and won seventy-two races.

HOW 'BRICK' OWENS GOT
HIS PECULIAR MONICKER
Few of the thousands of fans
in baseball who have seen or
heard of "Brick" Owens, Amer
ican league umpire, know that
he acquired his monicker when
he was nineteen years old.
Neither do they know how he
acquired it, although many of
them may guess right.
It all happened back In Inde
pendence, Kan., when Owens
was umpiring In the old West
ern association. "Brick" has
umpired since he was about able
to toddle, and he made his de
cisions as fearlessly against his
home town team as he makes
decisions now.
In one of those tough decis
ions Independence got the worst
end of the deal and an angered
fan hurled a piece of red mas
onry, which struck Owens in the
head. Owens, unfazed. went oil

hurled at him a cognomen
which has had its lasting im
print on the world of baseball.
