FRIDAY, JUNE 13, 1933, THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG ING (ROW OF HOMERS SHOULD STEADY The Youthful Jimmy O°Con- nell to His Real Batting Stride. Since Jimmy O'Connell, $75,000 buy, came to the Giants this spring, he had not been hitting with much success--until recently. Now he has started to hit homevs. : Two homers may not indicate a rampage of much hitting or hard hit- ting in general, any more than the well known swallow indicates a sum- ner. It will be said, and wisely, the boy must do more to prove himself. However, these homers may mean a great deal, psychologically.

Both are very anxious to play, to get your job, though they may like you, because, after all, baseball ig baseball. And suddenly, you ram out two Fomers, one of which scores three runs. And you get cheered, and yon now hear voices which have been somewhat sarcastic at times telling you how good you are. Would you feel fine? Do ball play- ers wear uniforms? Right, you'd feei good. You'd be inclined to fesl. too, that you can "make good." Those two homers are apt to play a very big part in "Smiling Jimmy's" base- ball life. O'Connell, converted from a first baseman in 1921 with San Francisco to an outfielder with the club in 1922, was supposed {fo be weak in the outfleld. As a matter of fact he was at first, particularly on ground balls. But he has been learning fast, and has shown he can fleld the posi- tion nicely He is a free, loping runner, and gets after the ball guickly At ths outset, he made his many well wish- ers nervous, fearing he would "flub." He did, too, but lately he has been getting them all. In short, he has proven he can field. O'Connell 1s now batting around .#265--climbing right along. He was far below this mark for many weeks. With his tall, finely set up body and free swing, he can hit hard, appar- ently. These two l:omers may start him off, they may roint in a rather tough !ife for a happy, successful one. Out on the coast he hit .335 last yoar, and made thirteen home runs, the year before hd hit for .328 and made seventeen homers. He can hit homers." I ZEV EARNS $117,800 With his victory in the Belmont Stakes Saturday the Rancocus Stable's great 'colt Zev established his unquestionable supremacy a- mong the three-year-olds of 1923, and at the same time set a new re- cord in earnings for a colt in his three-year-old form. » Since! the sixth day of May, when Zev ran 'his first race of the year and won the Paumonok Handicap at Jamaica, he bas won five stakes for a total of $117,800. 'This, togeth- er with the $24,465 that he earnec #8 & twogear-old, gives him a total of $142,266 in earnings since he first appeared under colors at Bet- mont Park on June 14th last, less than a year ago, Zev's 'victory in the Belmont Sat- urday, with its price of $38,000 to the winner, elevated him to ninth position among the highest money- earners In all Amercan turf his- tory. It took him past Salvator, Delhi, Potomac, Peter Pan, Sir Bar- ton, Hanover and Kingston, to with- in a few thousand dollars of eighth position, held by his veteran stable mate, Mad 'Hatter, and withm striking distance of Morvieh, with his $172,909. * For a colt that shar- 89 comparatively lightly in the ---- be the turning | Fistic Warfare. | | A Shelby, Mont., writes: A fighter is hands. ,Tom Gibbons found that out three years ago. A sprained thumb made it necesary for him to call oft' an important match. Tom McGinty, Cleveland promot- | er, suggested that he do a lot of! gripping with his hands to muscle them up. : Gibbons, who is a great hand-' ball player, started carrying a soft | rubber ball with him everywhere he' went. When he was riding the trains or walking he kept massaging the' ball. From that day to this Gibbons has never had hand trouble. | Bad hands have spoiled the! chances of a whole flock of fight- ers, especially the heavies. With their weight back of punch-' es it takes an iron hand to stand the' racket. . Gibbons' hands have a somewhat swollen appearance. Some people think they are fat. | But they are nothing of the kina. | It's muscle. When the big battle comes oft July fourth with Jack Dempsey in the Shelby Shell his dukes will be able to drive nails in boards. Bob Martin is an example of the big boys who has had hands. The big Virginian never climbed where he should because he didn't have battleaxe mitts. Good hands are just as important to a fighter as they are to a base- ball player or a plano player. Gibbons' long string of kayoes-- 33 out of his last 36 starts required iron mikes, "This habit of gripping a rusher | ball seems like a small thing to do,' says Gibbons. "But I probably would never have { worked up 'to the top where I could have fought Dempsey if it hadn't been for the rubber ball trick. "I also play a lot of handball. } love to get on the handball court al- most as much as I like to battle in the ring." "But I won't have time to play any handball here in my camp. "I'll toughen my hands on these big 200-pounders that are to Le my sparring partners. "If they can stand the gaff, I know my hands can." .
