BY UNCLE SAM
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3—Babe Ruth
and his home runs have been “inves
tigated” by Uncle Sam and both have
been given an official O. K.
Some of the friends of the cham-!
pion home-run hitter of all time de
cided some time ago that it might be
that Ruth’s home-runs were due in
some part to the different baseball
used this year in the major leagues,
so they gathered up a number of base
balls the Yankee player had hit out
of the parks and set them to the
bureau of standards here for investi
gation.
Those balls were put through a
“third degree” if baseballs ever had
such an experience. Scientists pound
ed, beat and dismembered them and
reported that there was nothing in
them that would cause them to “ride”
farther wrhen hit than the baseballs
heretofore used. In effect, the sci
entists said, it was the “Babe’s”
mighty blows that produced his home
runs.
BUILDING UP TEAM TO
WIN POLO CHAMPIONSHIP
HONOLULU, Sept. 3 (by Associated
Press).—Ten boys picked from the
leading polo and racing families of the
Hawaiian islands are being given a
ten-year course of training in the hope
that, at the end of their course in
1926, they will win the polo champion
ship of the world. Pete Hannon,
coach of the Hawaiian Polo and Rac
ing Association, is directing the train
ing, which is now in its fourth year.
Hannon began instructing the boys
in the spring of 1916. He went on
the theory that youngsters, with years
of training together, will play better
than boys who take up the game after
they grow older. The fathers of the
boys like the idea and the grind of
a decade started.
Under the shadow of Diamond Head,
on the field at Kapiolani park, the
boys, divided into squads of “whites”
and “blues,” fight out their practice
battles. Last year they made their
first public appearance and their good
showing surprised their parents as
well as their trainer. *
Not only is Hannon planning to
bring the blue ribbon of polo to
Hawaii, but he is planning to keep
it here, for he has organized a squad
of boys younger than his first charges.
His first team is composed of boys
mow between 12 and 15 years of age.
His younger boys are under 12.
Hannon has made it a rule that boys
cannot come to the field when they
neglect their studies in school. As a
result, their teachers say, the boys
stand high in their academic work and
are known for their fair play and good
sportsmanship.
