"BABE" ADAMS OLDEST
PITCHER IN LEAGUES
Veteran Pittsburgh TWirIer Holds
Record in Years.
His Excellent Control and KNOWLEDGE
Of Opposing Batters Make Him One
Of the Most Valuable HurIers
in National League.

Charles Babe" Adams, the veteran
Pirate hurler, is the oldest pitcher in
the major leagues today, in point of
years of steady playing and age. De-
spite his age-he is thirty-seven years
old-he seems to be improving with
each year of playing, for he shows
more control of the ball as one season
laps the other.
For instance, last year he took part
in 80 games, pitched 263 innings and
permitted only 18 bases on balls, a
little over One-half a pass per game.
"Old Man Control" as he is referred
to around the big circuit, faced 1,O35
batsmen during the season and per-
mitted only one in every So to get to
first base by the pass route. Even
this was an improvement upon the pre-
vious year when he pitched to 1,O17
batters and walked %. This is q rec
ord of Al passes in two years, or less
than many pitcher has for only half
the season.
Only once during the entire season
did Adams show any wildness at all.
This was against the Giants when he

HIS REQUIREMENTS NOT HIGH
Connecticut Man Merely Sets Forth
Qualities He Desires in His
Housekeeper.

A citizen of Bristol, who is separat-
ed from his wife, advertised here as
follows, according to a Winstead
(COnn.) dispatch to the New York
Herald:
Wanted, housekeeper; good home,
small amount Of work prefer one who
can sew on a button or two once a
month; do not bar politics; she may
be a suffragette, as hold no political
job; prefer one who has had not over
eighteen years experience; she must
have the Tuesday dinner dishes out of
the sink before Thursday; bear In
mind I do not bar any religion, but
do not want one who is too religious:
now, maids, do not apply for this Job
unless your age is under 90; decent
wages and cOngenial surroundings

Vernon Parish Democrat., 1921-04-14

highest point last season and never
will be quite so good again.
One rival manager also advances the
interesting argument that if the Yanks
are in the race all season Ruth will
not hit as many hOmers as he would
on a second-division club. The answer
Is easy.9 Games with the Yanks will
mean much to rival teams, and in close
games Ruth will get little chance to
hit the ball. If the Yankees were not
headed anywhere Ruth would get
many more chances to hit the ball and
the business offices of the different
teams would give instructions against
passing the Babe.
Fans Will Be Pleased.
However, if Ruth can do as we'll in
1921 as he did last year, the fans will
be well pleased. If he hits even 46
hOmers in 1921, it would mean 100 in
two years. and until Ruth appeared
no fan ever dreamed that such a thing
was possible.
Vernon Parish Democrat., 1921-04-14

Speculation is rife as to the number
of home runs Babe Ruth will hit in
1921. 1t is a question which is freely
discussed by baseball men, managers,
officials and players, as we'll as fans,
and the general opinion is that Ruth
reached his highest mark last season,
when he hit 81.
Hopes for Early Start.
There are good arguments advanced
