CAN RUTH MAKE
PROGRAM GOOD?
Demon SIugger of Red Sox
Wants to Hit Homer In
Every Park.

Babe Ruth made a remark a few
days ago that may bring him more
glory than anything else he ever at
tempted-provided, of course, that
this smuggling demon of a Red Sox Is
man enough to put 1t across.
Babe wants to make a HON run
in every park in the American league.
So far he has accomplished the feat
in Ave of the balliwicks, not including
Fenway park, where 1t is practically
certain that he will boost one across
before the end Of the season.
Chicago and Philadelphia are the
| other cities which, SO far this year,
have not been permitted to gaze on
q circuit smash delivered by the
powerful young star in 1918. OF the
two Chicago offers the longest shot
Philadelphia should be comparatively
easy.
Chicago has a right field wall and
bleachers which should have field
glasses supplied along with its tic
kets. for it is a long, long way from
there to the home plate.
The Philadelphia park was where
Frank Baker first rose to fame as a
manufacturer of roundtrip baseball
tickets, and If Frank could dump
! them out OF that ball park there is
no reason why Babe Ruth will not
succeed.
Fenway park is another of the
! bandbox affairs when referring to its
right field barrier.
So far Ruth has hammered circuit
bangs in Cleveland, Detroit, st. Louis,
New York and Washington. Three
of these are long. hard efforts. The
others are easy. The Cleveland park,
for instance, Is protected in right
field by a wall forty-fve feet high.
The Detroit right field bleachers are
q long a off, and the Washington
right field fence is practically inn
mune from home runs.

made during the time without a single

while It is aggravating to spend
days without results, nevertheless. 1t
gives a splendid chance to study the
animals. Elk cows fight the same as

and very often whip them. Once I

WAR CHANGING
LEAGUE MAPS
Conditions May Lead to Alter
atoms of Present Big Leagues
East VS.. West2

Affairs in the major leagues are
shaping themselves quite pointedly to-
ward a shift next winter-perhaps
during the coming fall-that should
effectively stave off trouble for the
majors another year and maybe until
the war ends.
Serious minded students of baseball
are certain that the war has begun to
make itself greatly felt in baseball, not
in the matter of attendance, but In the
matter of ball players. So many high
class performers have bee called to
help hammer the Hun hat there is a
dearth of good playing material in
some spots. Clubs which figured to
stay in the pennant race the whole
! season through have found IL almost
impossible to keep a fighting array on
the pay roll.
In the first place. II is becoming
practically impossible to travel with
any assurance of accommodations
which athletes in training should
have. Hence, long journeys may be
cut out. The fact that the railroad
administration is frowning on travel
will have an effect here also.
East VS.. West.
The two major leagues. then, may
be expected to drop some of the cities
now forming their circuits, organic
ing perhaps just one league or else ar
ranging things so that one big league
| will be situated with all its cities in
the West and the other with all its
cities in the East.
An automobile circuit could be OPP
Grated successfully. with clubs In Bos-
ton. New York, Brooklyn. Phiiadel-
phia, Washington, Baltimore. Toronto
and Providence If the New Interna-
tional league would surrender terri
tory. The jump to Toronto would
have to be made by rail. A similar
circuit would be arranged to embrace
Pittsburg, Cincinnati. Cleveland. De-
troit. Chicago. st. Louis, Kansas City.
and Indianapolis. Minneapolis, Mil

OF Fort Hun Nine

Our old pal, 'Irvie" Reimers,
up from Fort Hunt, Virginia, on
a short furlough brings the news
that Therkeld Turk" Samsoe is
captain of the Fort Hunt baseball
team. Samsoe was a product OF
the North Amboy lots in a base
ball way, and starred for the
"Guggies'' in the factory league at
third base.
Turk" broke out into the elite
ranks down Fort Hunt way like a
second story disciple, and 1t didn't
take long for the coach to get a
line on him. His popularity was
instantly insured. His snappy
work at the difficult corner as
sured him a steady berth right off
the bat. His ascendency to the
pilots post was a natural sequence.
