Ruth Isn't Only Famous
Babe" In Majors
BY BOB DORMAN

Pitchers may come and pitchers
may go, but I go on forever.
That might well be the slogan of
Babe Adams, veteran Pirate hurler
who is leading the National League
in box work and who is largely re-
sponsible for keeping the Pirates in
the pennant race.
Babe Is 3S. For IS years he has
been feeding 'em over in the big
league and for nine years before
that he was in the minors.
IT haven't any special rules for
keeping in shape" he says. I eat
what 1 want, but regularly, and I
get plenty of sleep.
II have always taken good care
fof myself and it has mighty we'll re-
paid me. When other fellows with
whom I started are all in. theii
physical powers burned up, l &C
along feeling like a youngster.
II love baseball, and I'm going
to keep on playing as long as the
old wing will stand for 1t.
II don't know why my arm holds
up so well unless it's the way I grip
the ball. Most pitchers, you know
grip the ball as tightly as possible,
thinking they can get more break on
it that way.
IT always have made it a prac-
! tice to hold the ball loosely. 1 be-
lieve it gives me better control, and
it certainly Is easier on the arm"

Sport Comment
IN All Fields

The New York State Athletic
Commission has made a new ruling
under which boxers in prelims are
to get paid by the round, no fighter
to get more than $40 per round. If
there is a k. o. the winner gets paid
for the number of rounds scheduled,
while the loser gets his only up to
the minute he kisses the canvas.
Strew hat sort of laws around h
country thickly and maybe the can
a won't feel quite so cushion-like
to the cutters. For a cushion with
out the "cush'' isn't so pleasant.
Said the old horsehide to the plump
pigskin,
Now amt this a heluvaAAx I'm in?
The time is coming, and coming fast
When my useful days'll all be past.
Said the plump pigskin to the old
horsehide,
Say. I'm the guy that should be
guyed.
While you're laid away. safe as kin
be,
The world will be kickin' the wind
out of me.
Scalping
Not too early to speak a piece
about ticket scalping in the world
| series.
Especially If the two New York
teams should cop. there must be
| strict precautions taken to guard
against it. For with a one-town
| series thousands more fans will fight
to attend all the games than If the
affair was a see-saw series between
cities.
Baseball can't stand another scam
DIAL now. Memories of that Red
White Sox-Black Sox affair are still
too fresh.
The Georgia Peach sticks his head
over the top of the American League

around. No, folks, you can't Ty
Cobb.
Guess 1t won't do any harm to
mention it-Earl Caddock, former
world wrestling champion, is match
ed to meet Zbyszko, present title
holder, at Des Moines, Iowa, on

Now, if we just have a few more
fights like the Downey-Wilson affair,
we won't.

Poor Jack Johnson,
For your information,

Which all crack,
But largely a case Of

MAN EVENT
ON. Y" ALLEYS
Early Season Tournament to
Start in About Week; Bowl
ers Signing Up Now

A two man bowling tournament to
commence in about one week is be-
ing arranged by John w. McComas,
in charge of the Y. M. G. A. bowling
alleys. All of those desiring to en-
ter this tourney are requested TO
sign up with Mr., McComas at the
"Y" by the end of the week in order
that it might be definitely known
how many teams will be entered.
Two man Journeys have proven
the most popular of any conducted
on the Y. M. c. A. alleys since the
opening of the association, 1t taking
less time for the rolling of a three
game match with two-man teams
than with five-man teams and the
interest seems to be more intense. 1t
is likely that the bowlers will be per-
mitted to choose their own partners
on condition that the strongest bowl
ers in the association do not join
forces, leaving the weaker ones to
combine. This would soon make the
circuit an embarrassing affair and
those far behind would most likely
fail to complete their schedule.
The bowlers have been allowed to
choose their own partners in past
Journeys of this kind and 1t has al
ways been found that the teams
evened up we'll. There will be a COM
mittee to consider all arguments and
questions which might arise during
the league, this committee being
headed by General Secretary Walter
H. War;.
Several of the "old timers have
started coming around to the alleys
again after laying off all summer
and this tournament is for the pur-
pose of getting all of the pinmen into
shape for the winter season and see
ing which men will be the best to
represent the local Y. M. C. A. in the
state bowling league this year.
1t is likely that the men will be
given a certain time limit in which
to complete their schedule of play
ing every other team a three-gamc
match, this time limit being fixed so
that the tourney will not drag along
over a long period. One month will
most likely be allotted to the bowlers
to complete their schedule. 1t is ex-
pected that a small entry fee will be
charged of each man in order to
secure funds to assist in purchasing
prizes for the winning team and
possibly the high average man and
high score man of the league as well.
Mr.. McComas urges that all of
those contemplating entering find
partners at once and sign up with
him now in order that some idea of
the number of teams in the league
can be secured. The members of the
''Y'' first team, such as Bill Pember-
ton, Clarence Hoffman. Edgar Mallet
and Birden Golden, will not be per-
mitted to team up but car take on
mediocre bowlers SO rs not to have
a "walk-away" from the rest of the
entries.

ADVENTURES OF
THE TWINS
"oFF TO SEE THE WORLD"
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Whats the matter?" asked Flip
ty-Flap, when Mrs. Seal looked
around with a frightened air as though
hunting a good place to hide.
II don't want to see any pictures
of the circus" she said fearfully. MY
husband has been telling me what a
dreadful place it is. They make you
eat fire and the Billy Goats have stone
heads to hit you with and-and- You
tell him, Silky, what an awful time
you had"
Mr.. Seal cleared his throat and
looked uneasily toward the twins who
were busily pasting posters on the ice
bergs. "Ahem!" he coughed. L was
just telling my wife about it," he said,
lamely.
Flippety- Flap winked. Did you tell
her all about the grand things you
had to eat, and how kind the people
were to you, how the children loved
you, and when you went by in your
great red-and- gold wagon, with a nice
tank to make you comfortable, how the
children clapped their hands and
cheered you? And did you tell her
what fun it was to watch the crowds
and how proud you felt when you
played IN the D"Iiu anu HlauS SuC1I
pretty music, and people waved their
hats and handkerchiefs? And every
time you did a clever trick you got u
reward. Did you tell her all that?'
Mr.. Seal had nothing to say. Mrs.
Seal looked reproachful but she didn't
say word either. Instead she wobbled
over and looked at the wonderful pos
ters with their gorgeous taking
pictures. that the twins were pasting.
She came back and quietly tied on
her bonnet. silky" said she, you
may stay if you wish, but I'm going
to see the world"
Mr.. Seal saw that the game was up
and hunted up his hat, too. "Il go
long" said he. Il s'pose I can put off
my home making till some other time"
And he did.

My brain worked swiftly when Mrs.
Allis asked me to come in and drink
a cup of tea with her after her return
to the CosgrOve farmhouse from New
York. That there was something more
to her invitation than what appeared
upon the surface I was sure.
I knew that she disliked me. Only
that morning I had overheard her say
that she had a score to settle with me,
and the aversion I felt toward her was
intensified by the knowledge l pos
sessed-fortunately unknown to her
of her scheme to 'purloin the valuable
paintings in the Cosgrove farmhouse
parlor.
She was not asking me to drink tea
with her from any desire for my So
ciety-I knew that. Whatever her
motive might be l felt that I ought to
try to discover it. ! felt fOolishIy elat-
ed-"a regular sleuth." as Dicky
would have expressed it-as I smiled

MAY I come in a bathrobe?"
"Of course" she smiled back, and I
imagined that I caught a CLINT of tri-
umph in her eyes. I'll go ahead and
light up" She hesitated a moment,
then added nonchalantly, would not
your husband like a cup of tea, also"
I'll ask him." I returned non com
Mutually, but cordially. IF he will,
I'll bring him along with me-"
Good" Mrs. Allis returned. smiling
brightly. and went on into her room
opposite mine, leaving her door ajar

Dicky's room, told him of Mrs. Alliss

He gave long, low whistle of sur
prise. which I promptly smothered on
his lips with the palm of my hand.
'Don't let her hear you" I admon-
ished in a whisper Il have no idea
what she means by the invitation. but
I don't want her to suspect that we
take it for anything save what it APP
pears on the surface"
Diclty nodded, pursed up his lips as
about to whistle again. and stared
at the ceiling for a long minute. 1t is
a little mannerism of his when he is
thinking out some problem, and knew
better than to disturb him.
