The expert psyche analyst
With high protruding brow

And mildly winked the other eye.

But Babe Ruth said: "Oh. goodness

The barber shop tonic OF the hour
Is Babe Ruth and his home runs.
The question: How does he get

of hair trimmers to much language.
Taciturn BARRIERS are scarce, bus when
one is found he makes the sphynx
seem verbose when the Ruth topic
Is preached.
Psychology may play an important
part in the Babes continued success
in making homers.
Ruth comes to bat with the fixed
idea that he's going to bump the ball
into the bleachers.
The opposing pitcher is beset by
much the same notion. He thinks
the Babe is more than likely to slam
one over the wall.

These two harmonious ideas meet
and amalgamate. The result is all
to the advantage of Ruth.
No matter how determined the
pitcher may be to prevent Ruth
batting g. home run, the fixed idea is
there in his subconscious mind that
Babe is going to bounce one of the
outfeld parapet.
Mind controls matter, we are told.
and the pitcher is a marvel who a
combat the idea that Ruth is up
there at the plate, certain to
straighten one but for four bases.
If the pitcher doesn't watch out
he'll groove one to Ruth's liking.
Nothing succeeds like success ana
Ruth's uncanny ability is quite likely
to lessen a pitchers effectiveness.

Nerve is the big asset of a pitcher

He says:
1.-THE trouble with most pitch

hole they let the ball go and
they wonder II it's going where
they want IL TO go. That natur-
ally gets on their nerves. When
a fellow pitches to a batter like
Babe Ruth he naturally gets I'D
