EXPECT BABE RUTH
TOBETTER RECORD
ON POLO GROUNDS
Home-Run Star Should Pile
Up More Four-Base CIouts
Than Last Season, When He
Bagged Twenty-Five.

NEW YORK. Jan. Babe Ruth
will set a new home run record next
season.
That is the confident prediction OF
the Babe Ruth Boosters association
with members in every city and village
throughout the land. And here is the
reason. .,.'

70-odd games of baseball on the Polo

He often hits a ball so high that 1t
looks like a handball to the outfield-
ers And at the Polo grounds The
right wing of the big stadium offers IA
rangy and spacious nest for Ruth's
homers, Because he hits a ball high

The more eXCitable members Of the
Ruth Boosters club are predicting I'M
dreamed of things for the star slugger.
The conservative clement is agreed
that Ruth win probably better his 1919
mark by five or six homers. II he can

mark at 80, which will be some record
for future sluggers to shoot at.

DEATH RATE DROPS
WHEN RELIEF ARRIVES

Lives of thousands Of Armenian
children already fave been saved by
the Near East Relief taking over the
Armenian orphanages, according to de-
tailed reports, which have just reached
the headquarters of that organization.
These institutions had been run by the
Armenians since the beginning of the
war to care for the children whose
parents had been murdered by the
Turks Because of lack of food,
clothing and medicine, the death rate
among the children in these institu-
lions averaged as high as twenty or
thirty a day in some cases.
When Armenian funds became in
adequate the Near East Relief took
charge Of the orphanage Since that
time the death rate has been greatly
reduced. Given good food and care
the children are quickly returning to
normal physical and mental condition.
1t is estimated by persons who have
made a survey of Armenia that 10000
children will die during the next year
unless they are given food and care,
Near East Relief is the only organi-
cation now operating in Western Asia
and Ii is making an appeal to save
these Christian children.
