RECORD FOR BABE RUTH;
GETS 18TH HOME RUN
5esg= ezNE7r

NEW YORK. September 25.--A new
world batting record was made mp
at the Polo Grounds yesterday, when
Babe Ruth. Boston's superlative slug
ger, boosted his twenty-eighth home
run of the season high over the
right field grandstand into Manhattan
Field, which adjoins the Brush sta.
dium. This smashes the thirty-fve-
year-o1d record made by Ed William
son of Chicago, who was credited
with twenty-seven homers In 1884.
Ruth's glorious smash yesterday
was the longest drive ever made at
the Polo Grounds. 1t came In the
ninth inning Of the second game of
. double-header with the Yankees
and tied the score at / to 1. Bob
Shawkey was doing the pitching and
he heaved over a slow curve, hoping
to fool Ruth as he has done before.
Ruth stood firmly on his sturdy
legs, like the Colossus Of Rhodes,
and, taking q mighty swing at the
second ball pitched to him, catapulted
the pill for a new altitude and dis
tance record. Several seasons ago
Joe Jackson hit a home run over
the top Of the right field stand, but
the ball landed on the roof Ruth's
bang yesterday cleared the stand by
many yards and went over into the
weeds in the next lot.
Ruth has made forty-eight home
runs since he has been in the Ameri-
can League. And until last season
he never had appeared in any role
save that of pitcher or pinch hitter.

Ruth's Crown Undisputed.

When Babe Ruth walloped one of
Herb Thormahlen's left-handed bend
ers into the stands at New York about
two weeks ago for his twenty-sixth
home run he was acclaimed champion
circuit swatter of the universe for
having surpassed the mark set by Buck
Freeman Of the Senator's twenty years
ago.
Then attention was called to the
fact that Ed Williamson Of the old
Chicago Nationals was credited with
twenty-seven in 1884, SO Ruth went
after that mark. He tied it. and yes
terday surpassed 1t, when with the
longest hit ever made at the Polo
Grounds he crashed one of Bob Shaw
keys offerings over the top Of the
right-field stand.
There are no other marks to be at
tanned by Ruth. His latest feat makes
him the undisputed home-run king Of
the sport. and his feat has been per-
formed In season fourteen games
shorter than the usual 154 contests,
and in parks much larger than the
bandbox Affairs Freeman and William
son had to contend with. The Red
Sox have four games yet to play, and
1t Is not improbable the Boston Behe-
moth will reach or pass the thirty
mark in circuit clouts and establish
a record that may never again be ap-
preached. unless 1t is by Babe Ruth
himself. the hardest hitter base ball
ever produced.
