boy romances of Tattered Tom and
Ragged Dick, by Horatio Alger jr.
is the rise of "Babe" Ruth. The AL
ger heroes became mere bankers or
traction magnates, but George Her
man Ruth, the waif of Baltimore, be-
came "Babe" Ruth, at whose shrine
bankers and traction magnates burn
incense. Ever and anon these jaded
near-successes pick up the tape, not
to see the condition of the market,
but to learn whether the latest is the
forty-ffth or forty-sixth home run
knocked out by the "Babe" for the
season.
And these heroes envy "Babe"
Ruth the left-handed, the boy who
was regarded as far from bright in
his classes. For the Babe" can hit
them out with the joyous freedom of
Hercules swinging his club or Thor
throwing his hammer through the
clouds. All the tricks of the pitchers
are vain when he faces them, and all
the walls of the baseball parks are
lowered when his bat crashes against
the baseball. Homer would have
loved him if the blind singer had had
season pass to the Polo Grounds.
THAT Ruth is the greatest bat
ter of them all is admitted by
two members of the old Orioles,
and when two members Of the old
Orioles agree upon anything, that
makes it official and irrefutable. If
there is anybody so ignorant of i'm
portant American history that he
does not know who the old Orioles
are, we will explain, more in pity
than in indignation, that the old
Orioles were members of the great
est baseball team of generation or
so ago.
The two Orioles who made the ad-
mission that "Babe" Ruth was the
greatest baseball player in the whole
world are Wilbert Robinson, mana
ger Of the Brooklyn National League
baseball team, and Joseph Kelly,
scout for the Yankees. Both Of these
gentlemen are grandfathers and citi-
zens Of high repute in the city where
they dwell, which also happens to
be the home of Babe" Ruth. Will
bert Robinson was a catcher, and still
holds the worlds record for consecu-
tive base hits in one game. Joseph
Kelly was an outfielder of sorts ON
the old Orioles, and his present oc-
cupation is "ivory hunting" looking
upon baseball players and appraising
them at their true u 1rth to their,

That is almost as marvellous as the
achievements themselves.

NNCE upon time the youth of
~ this land worshiped another
young giant, Highlander
and an exponent of another and ell
der sport-John L. Sullivan. The
right arm of John l.. lSullivan was
mighty in it's day, but the left arm
of "Babe" Ruth is mightier in it's
day and generation in the matter of
sheer numbers of worshipers.
They used to block the corridors
of the hotels, and even the streets,
to see the mighty John L. pass. They
do that in the case of Babe" Ruth,
too. 1t is not for me to disparage
the memory of John L. Sullivan, the
gladiator, IN the daYsof his greatest

By'W, O. Mcclellan

IF THE late lamented Shakes
peare were a baseball writer he
Il might use q line that he
wasted upon some moro or less
obscure hero Of antiquity and say of
Babe" Ruth, "He doth bestride the
narrow baseball fields like a Colos-
sus." For "Babe" Ruth is Hercules
and Thor reincarnated, the Colossus
Of Swat. His bat is the club of
Hercules and the hammer of Thor,
the symbol of sheer, primitive might
before which the puny folk bow and
offer worship.
But for the game Of baseball, the
youngest game of the youngest peo-
pie, George Herman Ruth, the
"Babe' Ruth who dwarfs all other
personalities in the daily news,
might have been a peaceful cigar
maker or perhaps third-rate
heavyweight pugilist instead of the
national idol of the American people.
The Babe was Fortunes dar-
ling, though Fortune concealed her
great and kindly intentions as far as
he was concerned when the Babe"
was q boy. For the "Babe" was
born left-handed. Hercules was a
highlander. Thor never was pic
tured as welding his hammer from
the port side. None of the heroes of
antiquity. as far as can be ascer-
tanned, was a southpaw. Harry Leon
Wilson was the first novelist to put
left-hander in the near-hero class,
and he did it in hearted
fashion.
Moreover, little George Herman
Ruth was half-orphan at a very
early age and was sent to an insti~
tuition for orphans. He was nearly
an orphan boy, and, according to
the Sanford and Merton books, he
should have taken a morbid sort of
point of view at an early age and
learned something useful. But the
youth of Babe" Ruth was applied
mostly to the study of the great
American game of baseball.
You are not going to draw any
conventional moral from the early
ooyhood of Babe" Ruth. He was
not particularly industrious or
thrifty lad, chockful of conventional
virtues. He was just a normal,
chuckle-headed combination of Tom
sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. He
was Just natural and just human.
FORTUNATELY the boyhood Of
/ Babe" Ruth was intrusted to
men who understand human
nature, and particularly the human
ooy-the Christian Brothers, of Bal
amore. The fraternity is not limited

world. 1t is made up Of big-hearted
@eh' consecrated to the work Of max
'ng men out of the raw material.
They had charge of the bringing
up OF George Herman Ruth and
'hev have turned over to the world
'he Colossus of Swat. 1t is due to
s,'eir human understanding that
ueorge Herman Ruth was not
Awarted and turned aside into more

in the afternoon.

Said one of them graveIy:
"This Babe Ruth is menace. He

"HE best judges Of a man arc
the men with whom he works

THE best judges of a man are
the men with whom he works
or with whom he plays.
Babe" Ruth, naturally, is the high
est salaried ballplayer on the New
York Yankees. He might, if he were
like some Of the stars of baseball or
stars of some of the arts, claim all
the privileges Of star and hold
himself aloof from his fellow players.
Here again is the simplicity or the
wisdom of Babe" Ruth. He plays
the game with the team and for the
team, and the men he plays with
know it and appreciate it. Babe
Ruth will even make the college
try TO get base on an impossible
chance. The college try" is the vet.

ring glory, but I think that his ad-
mirers saw that particular John L.
through rose glasses and that they
worshiped an illusion.
The John L. Sullivan of the later
day, the John L. who beat down his
own worst enemy and lifted up his
self-respect from the muck, was the
John l.. that should have been wor-
SHIPPED, for that John L. Sullivan
was mighty gladiator. The John
L. Sullivan who knocked out ring an
tagonists with right hand punch to
the jaw was mere mass of hrawn
and muscle, but the gray and tat old
John L. who conquered himself was
the true fighter.
But we are considering the John L.
that was the popular idol, the
brawny man who was followed by
the men and the boys and cheered
when he stalked abroad. He was
not a particularly affable character.
This big "Babe" Ruth is a far
more likable person. He is full Of
good nature and the joy of living.
He is modest enough young man,
and he knows his limitations, though
he acknowledges no limitations as
far as the baseball diamonds and
the fences around them are con-
cerned. He is not falsely modest to
the point of affectation, for he has
that supreme confidence in himself
that comes after certain achievement
But he will not play to the gallery
consciously. He likes the gallery
and he understands it, and he likes
to have it understand him.
Ruth is, perhaps, too simple, or
it may be too wise, to try to fool his
gallery, as other stars of his own
game or stars in other lines of en-.
deavor have tried to do in vain. For
nobody can fool his gallery. No
truly wise man ever tried.

POOR FIELDING
 COST WHITE SOX
 T|LT;T|GERSWIN

Loose fielding and looser pitching, coupled with stellar work on the part of Savadrea. star Tiger moundsman, sent the White Sox, 1919 city cham pions down to defeat at the hands of the Phoenix Tigers in an exciting game at the new municipal baseball field at Eastlake park yesterday afternoon. The final score of to 3 shows the rel ative ability of the two teams as they performed yesterday.
 Savadrea's work in the box for the Tigers during the first five innings was as good as has ever been witnessed in this city, not a single hit being made off his delivery during that time by the heavy White Sox clubbers and only one man reaching the initial station.
 On the other hand, Nickel, new conner in local professional circles, was dishing out free transpor- tation to the initial corner with reg ularity that boded i'll for the Sox and, incidentally. caused the downfall of that team for the three runs which di- rectly resulted from his wildness gave the Tigers a lead which the Sox were never able to overcome
 Some hippidrome base running by Sox base runners provided fans with diversion. Gilliland's attempted theft of second base with Meason perched on that cushion convinced fans that a new crop of Peg Merkles will soon be ripe for harvesting. Fat WestfaIl also entered the eligibility list with an att tempted theft of the third cushion with no one out.
 The work of Bennenio in left field for the Sox was of a sensational char acter, he employing his powerful throwing arm to retire two men at the home plate and a third at second base Three assists for an outfielder borders on the unusual
 Scott at second base for the Tigers played brilliant ball, cutting off sevA-al Sox hits through his speedy work around the middle station

 ID PLAY LEAGUE BALI

MESA, April 26.-Accepting an at tractive offer made him by the Albany cub of the New York State league ou Gill, one of Mesa's star players, expects to leave the valley on Monday night to commence his career in pro fessional baseball. Gill left yesterday with the Mesa club for it's two game series in Superior and Ray.
 Either as a pitcher or an outfielder Gill has exceptional ability as a ball player and at the bat he has shown up this season one of the Mesa clubs strongest hitters. As a member of the valley All-star aggregation which played the Chicago clubs in Phoenix on the sixth of this month. he played out field and at the bat, in five times up, he secured four hits, two of them two baggers.
 Gill was recommended to the mana ger of the Albany club. by an old friend teammate with whom he played a few seasons ago, and who is now a member of that team.
