RUTH VERY MUCH DISSATISFIED

Babe" Ruth, the great pitcher and

not be seen on the diamond this year
unless Harry Frazee, owner of the
club, comes across with more money.
Babe" is seriously thinking OF join
ing the boxing ranks, and declares
he will do SO if he is not offered
more than ffye-thousand dollar con-
tract for batting and pitching for the

hitting, and also 4 general ali-rounu
player of ability.
the seasons work. and the contract
calling for $4,000 salary is not at
tractive to him at this stage of the
game Ruth has always been fond or
boxing and is very handy with the
mitts himself. He does not pose as
champion. but he declares that he
can fight some and is willing to enter
the game if his services as ball
PLAYER are not considered to be worth
more than $4,000 a season
Ruth has already been offered fine
nroposition IL he decides to enter the
boxine. game He is a big and rugged
fellow. with lots of strength, and pos
sasses bulldog grit. He has boxed
good deal but has not engaged IN
any regular bout He has everything
that a good fighter needs, ana ne
believes that with the proper training
he would develop into quite a prom
ising white hope.
'Stufry' McInnis is another member
Of the Red SoX who has not signed
contract for 1919, 'Stuffy, 1t is
said. is not overjoyed with the con
tract sent him by Frazee and is listed
among the hoid-outs. Mcinnis might
have been persuaded to sign up had
il not been for the fact that Ruth is
holding out. ''Stuffy" knew that Ruth
could play first base ii necessary and
that he could be overlooked, but when
McInnis discovered that Ruth had no
intention of signing for the figures
offered him in his contract Stufry
lay low. So, two stars OF the Red
Sox team are still outside the pale.

ball right through the heart Of the
plate, delivered when ii would seem
suicide to take such a chance"
1t was much the same with the Ma
tional League pitchers in comment
ing on Wagner. Their views might
be summed up in this statement:
The more you try 10 fool Wagner
the harder he seems to hit them. a
pitcher with control has more chance
of keeping Wagner from hitting than
some fellow with all the stuff in the
world. Serve them up as il each ball
was hanging on a string and YOU
have about an even chance with
HonuS.'
II may seem strange to learn most
pitchers work on the theory that a
fast ball, right through the heart IS
the weakness Of most Of the good
hitters. if there is such a thing. Now
10 the ordinary weak hitter fast
one through the heart is = cripple on
which he has & chance TO get some
where. Most pitchers think q good
hitter props up a fast, straight ball
right through the heart more often
than he hits ii safe. 1t doesn't sound
like good logic, yet is a theory gener-
ally used. and is in large measure
successful,
of course. pitchers don't use such
a system constantly AS a matter of
fact, the fast one is generally used as
a last resort and is usually accom-
panied by a prayer. Most of the time
the pitchers use everything in an eff
fort to fool the crack hitters. AS q
result such hitters get but few Grip
pies. being forced to hit what might
be termed balls that are just over ard
have all the stuff in the word on them
Thus, when a pitcher takes a chance
and busts one right through it is q
style of pitching they don't often see
