MUCH INTEREST

form. and managers of the teams de-

while the Krackajacks, West Siders
and Acme Laundry clubs are said TO
be anxious to Join. The first baseman
OF the Kracksjack team left several
days ago, and the team manager Is
endeavoring TO fill that infield hole
before making arrangements FOR any
more games

When the Dutchman wasn't pitch

GEORGE RUTH
IS SENSATION
The Boston Portsider Has
Already Won Five
Straight Games.

George Babe Ruth is out to lead
the pitchers Of the American league
this year, both N the matter Of games
won and effectiveness.
In his first five starts this seasoI.
the Boston pOrtsider turned in vic
tories for the Red Sox. which is a re-
markable record for a pitcher at the
start of any pennant race. Pitchers
who are rated above Ruth-Johnson
and Alexander-to be eyact. found the
sailing rough in the early days Of the
big league races, but Ruin breezed
through to five straight. and I'D 10
the time OF this writing looked capa-
bic Of lettering that record.
Last year Ruth was the leadin 8
pitcher of the American league in ef-
fectiveness, and that in the league
which is credited with having the best
pitching. He worked in - games
for the Red SoX, won % and lost L
for a percentage Of .657, and allowed
only LIS runs per game. He was third
in the number OF strikeouts. turning
back 10 batsmen as against 22S for
Walter Johnson and 1Ss for E Myers.
Of the Athletics. But the strikeout
pitcher is not always the most val
liable.
Ruth. OF course. has a wonderful
plays with clock like precision for
every run. and which, on defense, is
one OF the steadiest in the majors to-
day. The Red SOx made FEWER field
ing errors than any club in either
league last season
But Ruth is there with the pitching
arm. and with, a head that is cool as
2 cucumber. and he has confidence in
George Ruth. which is bic i
the majors or any other league for
that matter.
