Ruth VS.. Schupp


Ruth VS.. Schupp
Dear Sir: 1t is my contention that
Schupp, Of the Giants is now the best left
handler in baseball A friend of mine says
that either Ruth or Coveleskie is a better
pitcher What's the answer? o. T. B.
zone OF the Bugs)
There isn't any, beyond a matter of opin-
Ion. Schupp operates in a different league.
SO far as records go, his work since last
June has been the most brilliant in baseball
lie is the only pitcher in the game. right or
left handed, who has allowed less than on6
earned run to a contest for years stretcn
June, 1916, to June, 1917. Ruth has
greater speed and Coveleskie greater ex-
perience. But neither has been as consist
ent winner as the Giant star.
The West has put something over on the
East. 1t has continued its various sporting
championships just as before and, in add[-
ton, to show that sport didn't interfere
with duty, has sent a larger span of enlist
ments, proportionately, than the East has
sent
1t was thought in the East that sport
would interfere with the war program Tn,
West has shown this isn't true by going
through with both !.

The DuTer Remarks

They sag that life an the trench is rough
But life in the bunkers Uorse;
The is bloody and ratO and tough,
But the others living curse;
IT'S no fan battling hand to hand
In the shell holes deep aOith mud
But it's no fun sWeLtering IN the sand
While the soul is running blood.
Life IN the trench is a fearful thing
Where the shrapl1eL echoes s1OeU,
Where the big bombs break and the bullets sing
But the bunker's q RUing heU
To see your score mount stroke by stroke,
Where the deep pit kills yOur n1irth,
To qUhale GaUdy till your back is broke
Is the Toughest life on earth.
There times enUy the man aVko avaits
With rife an has fists;
Who stands and shoots and defes the fGtes
As he plugs at German tryst;
But as lOe suing in the bunkered lea,
This IS the song sing:
20 Craze, a0here IS thy Victo71-
o Death, qOhere is TIM sting?"

WTn HAVE heard a number OF managers
w and ball players protesting volubly over
the Czar-tinted authority given umpres.
Tho claim is made that umpires, given
all this autocratlc control run the game in
high-handed fashion and take advantage Of
the situation. This, to a certain extent, is
true.
But the manager and ball player should
also remember this-the umpire was given
this authority exclusively on account of the
action of managers and players.
They brought It all upon themselves by
outbursts that would have soon broken up
tho game If left uncurbed. In every game
they were eighteen or twenty against one,
not including the public, which generally
made 1t 5000 against one.
Tho one chance to stop this was to give
the umpire complete authority. Without
this. umpirlng is an existence beyond the
resiliency Of the human soul.

and recently elected against her will
to be mayor Of this city, presided the
other night at her first police court.
Under the charter Of Moorehaven the
mayor must act as Judge of all of
tenders against city ordinances. The
first arrests under her admlnistra-
tion occurred following a fight be-
tween soldier and restaurant
keeper.
The soldier, when haled before
Judge HorwitZ said he had To report
TO his company the next day. and had
to ride sixty miles over the prairie
The new judge lectured the offender
who pleaded guilty. and added:
you owe this restaurant keeper
$7 you have a broken nose as a re-
minder that 1t should be paid; you
have broken the peace of this COM
munity. Uncle sam needs you, and
altho our streets need attention,
shall send you back to your company
with an order to your captain that
this debt must he wiped out, or you
must be returned to our Jail to serve
sixty days work on the streets | de-
cree that you work ten minutes on
the streets under the city marshal,
and then leave town at once"
The restaurant keeper was severely
lectured, and released in the custody
of the marshal, who shall have the
right to put him TO work on the city
streets for sixty days If he again
breaks the peace. This was the first
trial of any kind in the heart of the
Everglades, and the first of record in
the entire south where a woman de-
livered judgment on a man.
The new mayor will leave for the
north on the clyde liner Apache for
New York shortly. She plans to
