BOSTOWS REMARKABLE BARGAIN
BABE RUTH'S HITTING IS UNUSUAL
by JACK VEIOCK.

NEW YORK, June Is.-Wheu the
~ good left arm Of Babe Ruth be-
gins to weaken the scribes viii not
start chanting the swan song that
usually accompanies such incidents.
Ruth is a pitcher Of unusual talents.
Being a lefthander with unusually
steady control and the strength and
speed to turn back the heaviest hit
ting teams, he is good for between
20 and 80 victories a season to the
Red SoX. and in addition to the per
centaEe OF games he wins with his
arm may be added a certain percent
that are won by the means Of his bat.
Consistent Hitter
For four years Ruth has been a
member Of the Red SoN, and for three
straight seasons he has ranged as
star Of the first magnitude. In his
last three campaigns his hitting has
been the talk OF the American league
on frequent occasions, and this year
he has started smuggling his way to
another fat batting average His
work with the stick has been cousis-
tent. and manaE ger I'D Barrows says
that ne is O natural 800 hitter
