MILLER HUGGINS IS
 SURE THAT BABE
 RUTH WILL SIGN UP

New York, February 1-(special)- Miller Higgins blew into town last week after trip across the continent and told the waiting scribes at the Yankees of- flee that Babe Ruth would report in the pink of condition" Hug admitted that the Tarzan of the Diamond had not yet signed a contract but that he had ex- pressed delight with his transfer from Beanviile to the Polo grounds.
 The Tanks mite manager will play Ruth in right field as a fixture. The costly Babe doesn't want to pitch any more. and his wishes will be granted un~ less the other Yankee boxmen are seized with blind stagsers and cannot deliver the goods.
 So having set at rest the minds of the Yankees immediate followers as to the exact status of the $i3O.oOO beauty, Hug gins now is interesting us with the state ment that he is anxious to obtain new catcher and an outfiel6er. Hug declares that he isn't after WalIy Schang or Scott Perry, but he'll not deny that a deal may be fixed for, Johnny Tobin of the Browns to come here to succeed Ping Bodie in center field. Bodie seems to be slated for the rockpile. for in discussion at the

OFF-SIDE LETTERS HAVE ADVANTAGE
Short Distances of Right Fields
 Favor Left Flanders

Someone has asked why iu. is that most Of the long distance hitting rec ords are held by left-handed batsmen The great home-run hftters in the American League. Babe Ruth and Frank Baker. both drive from the near side of the plate, while five of the first seven home-run sluggers in the Ma tional League are also left-handers
 The only exceptions among the seven are Cactus Cravath and Roger Horns by. Ty Cobb and Iris Speaker are. also left-hand batsmen. Probably the real reason for the predominance of left-hand batters among the long drivers of both leagues lies in the lay out of most of the ball parks.
 Certainly no left-hand hitters ever had anything in the way of hard driv- ing and continuous slugging on such mighty batsmen as Honus Wagner and Napoleon Lajoie when they were in their prime, yet 1t is not recorded that either of those great baN pounders ever led the league in home runs. The big majority of baseball parks are laid out in way to favor hard left-hand hitters. That is. the right. field fence is shorter than the left field wall in nearly all cases In the National League this is true in every city except Cincinnati and Pittsburg. The short fence at Philadelphia is mo- torious and the right-field walls in Chicago. St. Louis, Brooklyn and New York are all within easy striking dis tance for left-hand batters who take healthy wallop at the ball.
 No fly ball has over been knocked into the right-field stands at Redland field or Forbes. and only one into the far-distant right-field bleachers at the Braves field in Boston, But in the other parks it is no trick at all to If. the sphere over the right-fielder's head into a safe location among the seats. This explains clearly why the home run kings are almost always left handed batters.
 A hard right-hand hitter may hit the ball just as forcibly as an equally powerful left-hand batter. but without an equal chance of getting it over the fence for home run.

.SAV All SEEKS LOWERING OF RATES
 ON EXPORT SHIPMENTS
Traffic Bureau and Port of Birming- ham Corporation to Oppose Pe-
 ton of Georgia Port

Savannah, Ga, has filed petition with the railroad administration asking low ering of the rates Ion export shipments from Birmingham through that port Tn their petition the Savannah parties state that the publication of joint rail and wa ter rates from Birmingham and the ter ritory embraced in the Birmingham zone to Mobile and New Orleans by way of the Warrior gives those ports an advan- tage oyer Savannah and unless relief is granted that city will lose the business it has built up in past years.
 The joint rail and water rate to Mobile and New Orleans is % per cent less than the all-rail rate and, with the shorter haul from Birmingham to Mobile, gives that port an advantage of several dollars a ton over Savannah.
 The Port of Birmingham Corporation and the Birmingham traffic bureau will oppose the petition, it is stated, and when the matter comes up for hearing representatives of these two organizations will be on hand to look after the inter- ests of Birmingham and the Warrior river.
 It is understood Mobile will also take a hand in the matter and present strong protest against any change in the exist Ing rates to the disadvantage of that port.

Kellog. of Shelton, Wash, whc at the time of the deportations was manager of the Bisbee telephone sys- tenn. would testify it was said, ir court, that the deportatioRs were car ried out in accordance with con spiracy previously entered into. An other important witness, Steve Swed- ich was said to be in the Texas oil fields,
 Attorneys for both sides agreed be- fore court adjourned that whether the cases against Sandther Boyd and Tow req were continued or dismissed, the trial of H. F. Wootten. hardware mer- chant of Bisbee, should begin tomor- row
