BABE" RUTH
STARS AGAIN
Most Striking Figure in Base
ball Today Wins Another
Game For Red Sox

Babe" Ruth hit another triple yes
terday, just in time to win a five-inn-
ing game from Cleveland. With one
out in the fourth, Amos Strunk singled
and. of course. Babe" fetched him
home. Ruth also scored when White
man clipped off a one-bagger.
This lad is the biggest figure in
baseball to-day. not only as a player,
baseball public always is ready to
worship another hero, and after
twelve years of Ty Cobb the change
TO Ruth was welcomed. Babe" is a
natural slugger. He is a rough-and-
ready hitter, knocks the ball a mile
and doesn't care what kind of a ball
the pitcher throws him. Inside or
outside. it's just the same to him so
long as 1t is near the plate.
Ruth Is pitcher and performed
in that capacity until this year when
I'D Barrows decided he was too big
an asset to keep on the bench and
slipped him into the regular lineup.
he played at first base and in the
ball games.
His tremendous hitting power is
due to several important reasons. He
is young giant, likes to hit the ball
and can wallop it with wonderful
strength. He has confidence in him
self, stands up to the plate as if he
meant business and doesn't believe
any pitcher can fool him. His work
as pitcher enables him TO work with
the opposing moundsman, and he can
pick out the balls he likes to hit. He
has keen eyesight and never goes
after the bad ones. But best of all, is
the fact that the majority of Ameri-
can League twirlers are afraid of
him. which is a valuable point in
his favor. They know they can't fool
MIN, so the ball sails over with moth
ing on it but prayer.
It's worth the price OF admission to
see this husky young person clout the
pill. He is so sincere when he
whang the ball that every one in the
field is pulling for him. His home
runs have been the sensation of the
season, but his sacrifice Iiies also are
worthy of special mention.
Babe probably holds the record
for hitting the longest sacrifice fly in
the history of baseball The Yanks
do not marvel at the length of Ruth's
drive any more since they saw him hit
this sacrifice fly that scored runner
from second base. This is a play that
happens once in lifetime.
In the afternoon game of April 10.
in Boston this season, Scott was on
second base with one out. when Ruth
faced Ed. Monroe and hammered a
long. high 1v to right field. 1t was a
most prodigious swat. not ony for
distance. but for altitude. Otherwise
- ~, y Ncu4u t4SfSt nave sgt uuutI
IT. Gil retreated swiftly to the right
field fence. which is about three city
blocks from the home plate, and had
to make the catch before he could
get "set."
The play threw the fielder off bal
ance and that gave Scott his start.
Gilhooley Strengthened up in a mo-
ment and pegged to Pratt, who had
gone out to a position usually in
habited by right fielders. Pratt had to
run forward to catch the ball and his
relay arrived too late to head off
Scott. Ruth. therefore, received
credit for the longest sacrifice fly
ever known in baseball. At the Polo
Grounds this drive would have cleared
the top of the right field stands.

Hich-A-Thrift VS.. Rosewood.

Out in the Allison Hill Junior
Baseball League. they call a four
teen-year-old "Mose" Swartz the
wonder boy. and it's no wonder. Any
lad who can come up from the jun
ior organization and play with the
big fellows and break up a game
after two strikes have been called is
some wonder. That's just what
Nose" did last evening. Two run
ners were on base, with the score s
to in favor OF the Galahads.
Then Nose" strolled to the plate,
with his famous chew. Certain it is
that he is either herbivorous or
carnivorous. for no one ever saw
Nose" without well-filled auto
matte Jowls. The players say that
the lad tooka healthy gulp of Lucky
Strike" and then he proceeded to
introduce same to his shillalah. Aft
er two strikes had been called
Nose" lambasted an offering to left
field and the game was over.
When the wonder boy broke up
the game, it was just a quarter to
nine. and the lad had to beat a
hasty retreat to reach home before

Steelton Plays Team Today
With Record of No Defeat

A fast game of ball was promised
this afternoon at Cottage Hill when
Manager Cockills veteran squad of
big leaguers met the Burnham In
dependent Y. NJ. c. A. team which
thus far had not lost a battle. The
Steelton club is working hard, morn
ing and afternoon practice, to be
prime for Lebanon on Saturday, for
rivalry is keen between these two.
Tom Phillips was the logical twirler
for to-day's fray, Cockill being
anxious to see him start and pitch a
full game so that he may take his
place in the regular staff.
One of the chief surprises in the
Bethlehem Steel Company League is
the success of Sparrows Point which
has had five victories in a row.
Bethlehem is steaming up to trim
them next Saturday and it is under
stood that Buck" Doyle will be on
first again.
The change in the Bethlehem
lineup in their game at Steelton on
Saturday. showing "Beebe" Roth
playing first base instead of FBuck''
Boyle, has been the source of many
inquiries. 1t is widely known that in
the beginning of the season Buck
was invited to come out and try for
a regular berth but that he was OBJ
stinate and didn't appear to care
whether he played with the corpora.
ton team or not. The rumor that he
had again fallen in bad with the
local management was strenuously
denied. The reason for his non-ap-
pearance as given out in the athletic
Office Is to the effect that Buck
missed the train taken by the steeI
workers and was unable to follow
because no other train leaving there
got to Steelton in time for him to
play in the game. AS a result
Buck" decided not to waste the day
and covered first base for the Saucon
team in the Inter- -dena IF m emf Lea n,,1n

Cravath hit home run in the tenth
inning and won the battle for the
Phillies, 2 to /. That homer was
No. 100 on Cravath's long list of
circuit swats. 1t was the home run
hit that gave Cravath a record which
will probably not be equaled in
many years to come. for the dope
