"When my dreams come true when my dreams come true, I shall lean out from my casement in th- starlight and the dew " RILEY When my dreams come true when my dreams come true, i I shall sit among the rooters and with nothing else to do; Every day a double-header and an j extra Inning fight That will take us from the noontldo to the portals of the night; j That shall leave us happj In irted I when the frolicking is through. With the enemy beneath us when my dreams come true. When my dreams come true we shall never lose a grime, But shall only win th- pennant by a battle just the same; I And when the fight Is hottest and wo clamor for a Ji it i The shortstop or the catcher shall arise and wallop It. A spot upon the sunlight or a blot against Vhe blue. But they'll never find the pellet when my dreams come true. W hen my dreams come true. oil. the lobster back of me Shall never smash by bonnet in a fit of frenzied glee; The peanuts that I gobble and tho liquid that I drink Shall never put my stomach or digestion diges-tion on the blink.

And when I think the umpire has de-' prived us of a run, j Or when a fielder fumbles or the pitcher's in the air, I shall get some target practice from the bleachers then and there.

I see where Tolley played a 428-yard 428-yard holi with a drive and three putts," writes L. H. B. "That s noth-j noth-j ing.

COBB'S SUCCESSOR. We once thought that George Sisler, tin Bludgeonalre Of the Browns hid been handed the keys a T Cobb's successor in the American league. Now Harry ileilman steps in to challenge Slsler's right to the throne. Heilman. a big. powerful sniper, who is six feet tall with a weight of 205 pounds, lo dhls league lat fall and is again hammering the! cover off the ball. He wasn't as brilliant as Sisler upl to 1921, but since then he has found himself. This is Hellman's seventh year with' Detroit. He first crushed his waj Into .3011 company in 19iy and la t fall moved up to .394, after remaining remain-ing above .400 the greater part of the season. HI iliM W l SISLER Heilman Is now '28 and Sisler 23 the Tiger having one year advantage In the way of youth. Slsler's grand average for eight years is far in front of Hellman's, as the Brownie wonder Is up around 350 for his total march to d ue But Heilman has corrected a number ol old hatting faults, and with his added physical advantage the Tiger must be rated as one of the main scouts alonj the Bloole Border. Cobb picks hirii I to lead the field again, but Sisler is also back with his best stuff and the scrup between these two should be a summer feature. POl M FOR POI Mi Dear Sir; Pound for pound. Flta-Blmmons Flta-Blmmons was a harder hitter than Dempsey. This matter of wela-ht muat be taken laio consideration. as it would mean nothing to say th.lt Dempsey was a harder hitler than Leonard or Wilson Pits w.i the hardest hitter for his weight the ring has ever seen, and. leaving the matter mat-ter of weight aside, not even Dempsiy had greater force In the short Jab. where from a foot's distance tho Cor-niShman Cor-niShman could drive ;ln opponent through the ropes. Fitzsimmons and I Dempsey lead them all in the mat-I mat-I ter of snap or leverage, of picking up terrific Impetus with the fist moving mov-ing only a few inches And this nitons a lot to any boxer.
