ball and to the fans of other cities
if he misses. There is nothing like
1T in the major leagues. Babe has
no imitators He doesn't believe there
is n pitcher who can fool him right
along. He may strike out inglcrious-
ly, but he is apt to belt that same
pitcher for home run in the same
game. Confidence never deserts him.
The most popular player is the one
who can make home runs. He may
not amount to much otherwise. but
as long as he can bust 'em he is
idolized by the fans. The public ap-
preciates Cobb's skill and science,
but Ruth will get more applause
by making one home run than Cobb
would receive for hitting four sim
giles. The dear old public loves the
crash of home run hit, and Ruth S
prodigious drives amaze even the
old-timers. l don't believe any of the
games great hitters ever drove u
ball as far as Babe can drive 1t. If
we would advertise Ruth to plav eV-
cry day he would be more of SEN
sation than Cobb. Last summer when
we were using him regularly in the
outfield and he was knocking out
those home runs nearly every day
the fans fiocked to see him. Some
day Ruth will retire as u pitcher, but
he should be good for many more
years as an outtielder. for he has the
wallop."

Underground conduits had been so
arranged by Americans attached to
the Signal Corps that even though
the Germans had taken Paris in
their great drives last summer, the
city would have been in communica-
ton with the United States by cable,
Lieutenant Colonel James w. Hub
bard declared in an address at the

streets, last night. He had been
overseas for some time serving with
various signal corps detachments.
Lieutenant Colonel Hubbard ex-
planned how the men laid the under
ground lines and then car efully con-
cealed them, and to add to the de-
ception strung additional cables
overhead to telegraph and telephone
poles. Colonel Hubbard is at present
with the Bell Telephone Company at

ment and buildings. He was the or

JERSEY TROLLEY
STRIKE IS OFF
Both Sides Claim Victory;
Full Service Has Been

By Associated Press.

Newark. n. j., March 1S.-The
strike of 4,5O0 employees of the Pub
lie Service Railway Company, which
had tied up trolley service in north
ern New Jersey since last Wednes-
day, was formally called off last
night, with both sides claiming VIC
tory. Full service on all lines was
resumed today.
The terms of settlement, which
were approved by a virtually unani-
nous vote of the strikers, provided
that the company treat with any au-
thoriZed committee of the Amalga-
mated Association of Street and
Electric Railway employees Of
America, at the same time reserving
the right to treat with any other
employees organization; that the
company's cooperative league and

drawn, and that all other points in
dispute be submitted to tho. Ma

terms were suggested by the board.

Boston, March S.-"Babe" Ruth,
of the delegation of baseball players
who left here late last night with
Secretary l.. A. Graver. of the Bos-
ton American League Club, on their
way to the Red SoX spring training
camp at Tampa, Fla.
AS the main party of the club does
not leave for Tampa until noon to-
morrow by boat from New York,
Secretary Graver said that Ruth
might travel to New York alone and
come to terms with club officials
there to-day. Ruth, who was in Bos-
ton last night, insisted he would not
knock any home runs for the cham
pions this season unless his salary de-
,mands were met.
If Babe" Ruth has swelled head
over his Importance the Boston man
agement will have only itslef to
blame. Frazee, not long since, came
out with a statement that Babe" is
greater attraction than Cobb. I'm
the long run Ruth may not be as
valuable box office attraction as
Cobb" said he, because he Is not
in the game every day, but for any
particular day on which he is play
ing he is a stronger card than the
ing Cobb in action every time the
Tigers play, but Ruth, unless he
happens to be playing the outfield
temporarily, appears only occasion
ally. We cannot guarantee his ap-
pearance at any time. .Cobb's batting
and base running feature nearly ev-
cry game in which he participates.
His fielding is clever and graceful,
but he does not shine there as in
offensive play. Ruth gives a great
show whenever he pitches, for he
is not only spectacular and clever
in his mound speciality, but the fans
love to see him swing that big bat.
Cobb is a scientific hitter. He out
guesses pitchers, pulls to different
fields and is a clever bunter. He uses
his speed to beat out infield hits.
Ruth, on the other hand, is n throw
back to the old-time slugger. He
swings a long, heavy bat which he
handles as if it were toothpick, and
it is a delight even to see him miss
one--not for me, of course, but for
the average, spectator. Ruth's terrific
free swing is a joy forever--to the
home fans if he connects with the

Canton, Ohio. March 1S.-Jack
Britton, of New York, last night
knocked out Ted Lewis, welter-
weight champion of the world, in
the ninth round of a scheduled
twelve-round bout here. The end
came after two minutes and ten sec
onds from a long swing to the jaw.
The veterans fought at catch
weights.
Lewis did not land five clean
blows. The bell saved him in the
sixth round, when he was knocked
down three times. Referee Matt
Hinkel had to break them on sew
eral occasions. but Lewis did not
show any indications of weakening.
Britton drove right to Lewis nose
and the Englishman staggered back.
He went down for a count of four
from n stiff left to the jaw. Lewis
staggered TO his feet and onto the
ropes. where Brittons left to the jaw
again put him down for a count or
six. Lewis got to his feet slowly
and before he could cover, Britton
had sent in another left swing that
forced him to his hands and knees.
He took u count of eight and was in
n clinch at the bell. From that
time until the final blow Lewis tried
hard to avoid the inevitable.
Though he did not do much dam
age, Britton was master in the
eighth and it appeared as If Lewis
was stronger.
