In their inconclusivcness speculativee
security prices reflected the state of
real trade. Men of commerce, whose
enthusiasm has been debated by the
events Of the last year Of drastic re-
adjustment, are stepping into the fu-
ture with quintessence Of caution.
Their courage is diluted by uncertainty.
Meantime, while the markets wait,
the world is gradually escaping from
the conditions which made for impaired
confidence and depression. President
Harding's disarmament proposals came
as a breath Of fresh air to world
struggling for solvency and freedom
from excessive burdens.

BALTIMORE. Nd. Feb. 2f.-Jack
Bentley. oriole star right-hand pitch
er. first baseman and home run hit
ter. furnishes this spring an exact
parallel TO tho problem which mana
gers faced In Babe Ruth.
Bentley Is Baltimore's star pitch
cr. He is also a star first haseman.
But In the Fl games he pitched
last season ne batted only .237.
In the remainder OF the games
he hit an even 400 as a first base
man. His seasons average was al.
He also hit 20 home runs.
Manager Jack Dunn believes Bent
ley would hit over 400 and 80 or
more home runs II used regularly
as a fielder.
Managers faced a similar problem
In Southpaw Babe Ruth.
As Red Sox pitcher Babe was
one OF the leaders OF the American
League. But when he pitched his
batting was lighter.
He was such a terrific slugger that
Harry Frazee used him In the out
field and At FIRST base when he wasn't
pitching to add batting strength 10
the club.
In 1919. the year he broke the
worlds home run record with 20.
Babe only worked as a pitcher in
20 games.
when ne came 10 the Yanks for
$4,000 Miller Higgins faced the
same problem.
Higgins chose Babes batting
strength. The world knows that
Bambino cracked out the super
record Of 50 homers last year
What will Bentley's manager dof
Bentley Is ns natural a home run
hitter as Babe. He hits the ball as
Tar and as hercely as the home run
king.

OF $4,000 for his star.

to Babes. And he may be the man
