They admitted that the heroes of
their day were lost in the shadow of
the Colossus of Swat. They admitted
that even in the days when the old
Orioles were young "Babe" Ruth
would have loomed up above them
all.
That Ruth broke all big league

year is in the book That he has

These two authorities admitted to
me in the presence of witnesses that
never, even in the days of the old
Orioles, was there baseball player
who could hit like Babe Ruth. Con-
slider the Importance Of this admis-

wonderful as the players of their

Once, with the score 2 to in the
eighth and tense pitchers duel en-.
the Chicago pitcher passed Babe
Ruth. Ten thousand people started
to walk out of Comiskey Park.
There remained yet the chance of
the melodramatic ninth inning rally.
but the ten thousand had lost all
interest in the game for the after
noon. 1t was clear that they were
not going to see Babe" Ruth knock
a home run, and nothing else mat
tered.
Civic pride, inter-city rivalry, in
terest in the national game were
minor considerations. The "Babe"
was not due to "bust one."
