SMITH ANDRUTH
ARE FACTORS IN
AMERICAN RACE
Their Individual Efforts May
Decide Place Where Pen
nant Lands.

1t begins to look as If the American
League race might be settled by Babe
Ruth and Elmer Smith. These two
lusty sons Of swat have been con
tributing no end Of important blows
to the current flag hunt and honors
are, at this time, and considering the
timeliness Of the acts, about even. The
Indian outfielder set little record for
continuous clubbing recently. and BAN
bino himself is approaching a new
home run record and a new record for
runs scored, which Is still more i'm
portant to the final outcome.
VIII Win Grand Old F1aIg.
The National League race is one oi
'tamina. The team that can stand
he most walloping and still come back
the pinches, will win the grand old
lag, as George Cohan would say. The
battle In the johnson circuit is more
one Of individual efforts. Not that
Ruth and Smith are the whole show
but they are certainly headliners just
now.
Smith, however has amassed an
average Of total bases per hit that is
little less than remarkable. On seven
consecutive hits, on September and 8,
Elmer made twenty-five bases. He
secured three doubles and four home
runs. His average was 3.l4. That
beats any feat of swat OF its kind
that Ruth ever set and Is better than
the mark set by Ed Delehanty some
twenty-five years ago when Ed was
the king Of hitters. The best average
for bases per hit that Delehanty could
gather in was 2.40.
His Hits Won Game.
What is more. Smiths blows won
games. They were the deciding fac.
tors. Nor did he stop when his streak
Of hits was broken. After dropping
off for couple Of times at bat, in the
game Of September 6, he smacked out
a double and.won O game.
And he helped lick the Tigers the
next day with a couple of two base
thumps. He Is q bad customer to have
around when the pennant may be won
on the hitting ability Of one individual.
Sometimes the figures are interest
ing. Here is Smiths record. compared
with the best of ancient" times in

Shoots Girl and Kills Herself

morning after wounding Mildred Han

emerged from an apartment house at
35 Schermerhorn Street, Brooklyn Miss
Hannah was with John f. Boland, of
1872 West Fourth Street. an exporter
and importer, with an office at II Wall
Street
Miss Hannan's wound is not serious.
The bullet went through her left arm.
She is at Long Island College Hospital.
Boland, who said he was acquainted with
Miss Lawes, was taken to the Adams
Street police station to be questioned as
to the identity of the women and the
reason for Miss Lawes's act
He said that he was at loss to ex-
plain it. Ever since IL a. M yesterday,
he said, he had been escorting Miss
Harmon, who was searching for an
apartment in Brooklyn. They had passed
the evening, he said, with friends in the
Schermerhorn Street house.
He was amazed, he said, when Miss
Lawes darted toward them as they
came out of the vestibule. He had met
the young woman, he said, but was not
intimately acquainted with her and
could not imagine what she was doing
there at that hour.
Before he could recognize her pur-
