They've termed him 'super-man of
baseball" He's that-and dozen
times beyond Nothing seems i'm
possible for him in the way of circuit
smashing.
Back in 1919 when he battered all
major league home records into the
discard, it was said:
Hell never better that 20 mark"
But in 1920 he came along, beat his
mark of 20, then week by week
smashed every other home run figure,
amateur, professional, major and
minor, and ended the year with "a
! four baggers
"Phenomenal-and the ultimate in
hitting" was the verdict.
The folks knew then of the existence
! of the lively BALI. They knew that
| Ruth still possessed his amazing wal
| Looping powers. But they thought that
! "a homers was a mark that no human
ever would reach again in all the years
/ that baseball should live.
And, as springtime of 1921 came,
they were absolutely certain about it.
| They looked at the figure of Babe
Ruth, appraised him from all angles,
| and said
| He'll be lucky if he hits 50 in 1921. :
Ruth Still Fatter.
For, as the 1921 season dawned,
Ruth went into action fat and fatter
still. He bulked around 230-a pound
age at least % beyond what was pre-
sumed to be his playing best. The
weight all had centered around the
waistline and put that much extra
work upon his slim legs and almost
/ delicate ankles.
His legs can't support the weight
above Them was the opinion. Further
more, Ruth has become fat in the arms
and the shoulders and that fat will
prevent perfect coordination of eye,
mind and muscle, which is so neces-
sary for an athlete
Odds of around Is to / and 20 to 1
were laid that Ruth never would
eclipse his old record of 81 homers in
a single season. 1t was 2 to l that he
wouldn't reach 40 and even money
that he couldn't grab 80 homers for his
| fat self in 1921. But every wager
made against Ruth has been lost.
With Is games still to go, Ruth
smacked out his fifty-fifth homer of the

erfully tricky and it doesn't look as
if I'll be able to get 20 more foul

But sixty won't be bad-nope, it won't

Once upon time somebody asked
Ruth the recipe for home run hitting
His answer was:

CLEVELAND INDIANS,
new YORK YANKEES,
START FINAL SERIES

NEW YORK, Sept 23-Tris Speak
er's Cleveland Indians, 1920 worlds
champions, were here today for their
final four game series with the New
York Yankees in which it is believed
the 1921 pennant race will be decided.
The reserved seat sections at the
Polo grounds all have been sold for
the series and experts estimate that
close to 10000 fans will see the four
games. Ticket seekers stormed the
Yankee offices Tuesday and Wednes-
day and many were turned away.
Extra police squads have been de-
tailed to the ball park to handle the
crowds expected to start early for
the unreseryed seats
Start on Equal Basis
The teams start the series on vir-
tually even terms. The Yankees have
an advantage of less than two points,
the Indians having won one more and
lost one more game than their rivals.
Three victories in the four games
would give either team a tight hold
on first place with a two game lead,
while clean sweep would give the
v1ctorS a four game lead and make it
almost impossible to GUST them.
New York has a percentage of
.63194 and Cleveland .63013. A clean
sweep would give Cleveland $40 and
decrease New York's mark to .615.
while if New York took all four games
they would have 642 and Cleveland
SIS
Three victories for the Indians in
the four games would make the stand.
ing: Cleveland -633. New York .62I
If the Yankees are able to take three
ont of four they will have a percentage
Of .635 and Cleveland $50. An even
break would leave New York with
.62S and Cleveland with .627.

II was hardfought battle from the

the edge, but the Phillies came
through in the late frames in way
that made them look like winners for
a few moments.
They could not keep it up indefi-

pretty good finishers, when Groh and

Texan Starts Well.
Pete Donohue, the expert young
Texan hurler, was on the mound fer
the Reds and he started off at des-
perate gait, not allowing a man to
first until one man was out in the
fifth frame. Then Pat Duncan muffed
fly ball in left field that caused
some trouble and anxiety, for after
this occurrence Pete was not as good
as in the early rounds.
He issued one pass, but it was
given at an inopportune time, and was
good for two runs, keeping the Phillies
in the game for the extra round Don
ohue came back in the ninth and tenth
and held the visitors safe while his
teammates were winning it for him
