Ruth Penned in by
Red SOx Infielders
Gets One Home Run

Boston, May 3-Conceding that
there is no defence against the home
run clouting of Babe Ruth, infielders
of the Red SoX nevertheless think
the Yankee outfielder's hitting can be
cut down. To this end they have
worked out defensive scheme that
proved effective yesterday.
The deployment, said to have been
conceived by Stuffy McInnis, puts
ell the infielders on the grass beyond
the diamond. The third baseman
plays a bit to the right. the shortstop
is almost back of second base, and
the second and first basemen play
what is virtually a short right field.
The pitcher is assigned to cover
first base.
In its first test yesterday the
scheme showed results as follows:
First time up, Ruth hit hard to the
right of second base Pratts posi-
ton made possible a stop and throw
that caught the runner The next
time Ruth struck out, but on his third
turn at bat the new defence was
tried again. Catching a low curve
with hard swing Ruth smashed the
ball towards right field. McInnis from
his deep position, swung across to
make sensational stop, back handed
and continuing his dash beat Ruth
by sliding for first base.
Finding it impossible to pass the
infield, Ruth on his fourth time up
cracked another low curve into the
right field bleachers for his sixth
home run of the season and his only
hit of the game

nounced Monday by the Nordyke &
Marmon Company, the largest auto
mobile manufacturers in Indian
apolis. Various models were reduced
in price more than thousand dol
lars. The new prices became effsc-
tive May 2.
The new prices are in line with
present day conditions in which
manufacturers are writing Off losses
on high priced inventories and set
ting their price on replacement
basis, according to w. c. Marmon.
president of the company.
I'VE are simply discounting the
future" said Mr.. Marmon 1--WE have
attempted to analyze and determine
our near future costs for material,
manufacturing and overhead. Our
present inventories are worth no
more than the cost of replacement.
We decided to take a loss and we
have set our prices on what we be-
lieve will be prevailing costs during
the remainder of this year and next.
w hdt we are uplIlS may seem
amazing, because most people expect
gradual reductions. But we believe
conditions can be stabilized more
readily by taking our loss and max
ing one big reduction, rather than
several gradual ones. Our winter
business. while curtailed, has held
up remarkably, and has been in
oreasing rapidly this spring. How.
ever, we want to get back to normal
as rapidly as possible. The car re-
mains the same. without change"
When pressed. for information re-
garding prices in the whole automo-
bile industry, Mr.. Marmon said: 'T
cannot predict what other makers
are going to do. But the whole
tendency in all lines Is to absorb
losses due to high priced Inventories.
and get back to normal prices and
normal production. Little by little,
every industrial center is getting the
wheels to rolling. The public IL
again in the buying market It looks
to me as IL May is the beginning Of
real activity and a return Of pros
perity."

BY WILLIAM HAiNEs, Harvard

The four-mile race is the distance
to bring out the best there is in a
man. The crews are taught that not
only good rowing is necessary in this
contest, but that stamina is also very
important and men are selected after
careful preparation for these two
qualities The crew that represents
us at New London is made up Of
men who qualify in both respects
It is a survival of the fittest. AS far
as 1 know not one single instance of

traced to any man who has repre-
scented Harvard in the four-mile
race. The same may be said of the
shorter distance. but the shorter dis
tances are not conducive to good

1t is the short distances that do
the harm to the men. 1t is the pace
that kills in rowing as it does in any
other athletic activity. The longer
the race, the slower the stroke and
the less strain on the heart and
lungs; the shorter. the quicker. and
the greater strain. The four mile
distance is the only one to bring out
a true test of Craftsmanship.
BY J. DUNCAN sPAETH, Princeton
The strongest argument in favor
of the four mile race is the tradi-
tional one. 1t is quite possible to
train crews to row four or more
miles with safety. The longer the
race. the slower the stroke and the
more important the finer points of
Workmanship. A two-mile race is
long enough, as a mile race certainly
is not to test the skill and water
