HITTING Of RUTH
AN UNUSUAL ASSET

New York, June When the good
left arm of Babe Ruth begins TO
weaken the seribes will not start
chanting the swan song that usually
accompanies such Incidents.
Ruth rs pitcher Il unusual talents.
Reing a lsft handler with unusually
steady control and the strength and
speed to turn back taA heaviest hit
ting teams, he is good for between
twenty and thirty victories season
10 the Red Sox, and in addition to the
percentage of games he wins with
his arm may he added a certain per
cent that are won by the means Of his
bat
For four years Ruth has been A
member Of the Red Sox. and for three
stra Ght seasons he has ranked as A
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 consis-
tent and Manager Ed Barrows says
that ne is a natural 3Q9 hitter.
For this reason Ruths name Will
probably adorn the box scores for a
number Of seasons after his pitching
arm weakens. for he has an aptitude
for playing first base and can also
play the outaeld well
Harry Frazee was quoted recently
to the effect that he received an offer
of 100000 for the title to Ruth from
a ma jor ieagu club just prior to the
opening Of the season. and while this
figure seems unreasonahly high in
these warsome times. it just goes tc
show what they think of Ruth---or
at least. what Frazee thinks Of him
Ruth came to the Red Sox from
figures. Had he cost $4,000 he would
have been bargain The Giants paid

WALT JOHNSON HAS
FIELD TO HIMSELF
Washington Chuckcr Greatest In
Majors Since Alex Donncd Khaki
and Went to War.

New York, June a-Water John
SON The Washington wizard, is a lone
king among major league pitchers
now.
He stands out boldly and consplc-
uously among his brothers of the
slabbng fraternity as baseball
pitcher, pure and simple, and though
there are number of hurlers in both
American and National leagues who
possess a world of class, Walter is
supreme.
Babe Ruth, of the Red Sox. Is just
as valuable man as johnson. Some
critics will argue that he is more
valuable, but from a standpoint OF
pitching ability alone Johnson appears
10 have the call. The great Kansan
is rot hitter like Ruth. He is not
player who can grab a glove and
hold down first base or the outield as
Ruth can, but as a past master in the
art of pitching alone. Walter is a bell
ringer.
Since the great Alex left the Cubs
TO don the khaki Walter has no RI
val in either league who quite meas
ures up to his high standard as a
Hindoo OF the slab. Alex WAS as great
as Johnson during his active days In
the majors but Alex Is gone.
/ a most vivid example OF Johnson's
greatness was established May / :
when he pitched and won an eighteen
! inning game for WASHINGTON against
the worlds champion Chicago Sox
heating them by count of / to q
and helping 10 win the game by long
single that put a runner in position
TO score
/ That game Of bali will go down In
! baseball annals as one OF the clean
est-cut and most perfect pastimes
/ played in many a year. for there were
only nine PLAYERS used by each team
! throughout the eighteen innings AMI
! not misplay was made by either
side
| Considering the fact that Johnson
I has been pitching big league hall for
eleven pitching in masterfu'
and brilliant style and winning a-h4e
per cent Of his games with a second
division club behind him--there Is nc
good argument. as We see it 70 off
set any claims Of superiority that are
made for him here.

SHARP ADVANCE; n.
in CORN DUE TO
MILLS DEMAND
Continued Need of Greater Heat
and Moisture Also Hits
the Bears

Chicago, July 12.-Sharp advances
in the value of corn took place today
owing more or less to active demand
from millers and to prospects that the
movement of corn to primary centers
might soon be curtailed. Continued
need Of greater heat and moisture
tended also to put the bears at a dis
advantage. Most Of the purchasing
was ascribed to shorts. Opening
prices, which ranged from IL cent to
Is cents higher with August $50 to
~ and September 100 to H. were fol-
lowed by decided further gains.
Oats bulged with corn.
On the advance, however, hedging
sales became noticeable and acted as
"a check on the bulls. After opening
unchanged to 3 cents higher with All
gust II to u IA the market steadied
at slight further gain.
Higher quotations on hogs and grain
lifted provisions.
