OLD BASEBALL
 IDOL MARYELS
 AT'BABE' RUTH
CBy Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Sept. g. Amos Rusie, an idol of baseball fans more than 20 years ago, sat on the sidelines al the Polo grounds during recent game between the Yankees and White Sox. marvelling in Babe Ruth, whom he declared to be the greatest figure in baseball
 It's been l9 years since 1 saw a major league game" Rusie remarked The game surely has taken long strides. Back in my day we had some heavy hitters. but none of them could hold a candle to Ruth refer to Wagner, Lajoie and Ed Delhanty."
 Back in the nineties, when Rusie appeared at the Polo grounds the cheers and the shouting were all for him. The Hoosier Cyclone. they called him for he was considered the great nst right handed hurlcr in the game He dropped out of the game in 1902 after trying yainly for two years to overcome the handicap of an injured arm.
 When Rusic left the game Inc re, turned to his home in Muncie Ind. and later to Seattle. Wash. where he worked as d laborcr. He is past the 90 mark in years and his hair is gray He sat unHotcrd by players and players alike, for he was unknown 10 them.
 Then Kid Gleason the old manag- CT of the White SoX. recognized him. They were rivals for pitching honors in the old days. I'm sure glad to see you Amos" smiled Gleason, seems like old times to see you around" The famous old twirler re. turned the greeting and they walked to the White Sox dugout arm-in-arm. Although Rusie has not witnessed a major league game for so many years he said he had kept up with the game through the newspapers.
 Rusie said he didn't approve of putting a curb on the styles of pitch ing. Give them a chance to de velop. In my time we were not per. mltted to soil the ball and there were no freak deliveries. We had to de pend on speed and fast breaking curves and we had a great advantage over the batters The batters of to day has the edge however. The live Tier ball and curbing of pitchers are the reasons. This can be carried toe far.
 "The crowds are greater today than at any time. Baseball is now a great national institution. The White Sox scandal has not hurt the game much Judge Landis has offset that black eye"

 PITTSBURG, Sept. 3.--Pittsburg is baseball crazy this year. It's mil. lion to one bet that Pittsburg will win the National league flag, the natives hcreabouts will tell you.
 But there is a touch of 2atho5 in \ this great race.
 Charles E. C"BabeO Adams gentle man, clean-living athlete, is thirty eight and about done in bigtime base, ball. Adams knows it and admits it.
 In 1909 twelve long years ago A Babe" Adams, in the worlds series that year, was the hero. Then nothing more than rookie, he won three games of the series It was nip and tuck between Pittsburg and Detroit, and Kid Adams separated the Tigers from the worlds championship. He was the wonder pitcher of that time. Some years since then the great "Babe" didn't play the greatest brand or DdStDdll tNtdul. tlHll a ub"'t' '''' ' ago they said he was through, and it did at times look it. But last year "Babe" took a brace. He has been a popular idol hercabouts for long time. Win or lose the gang was al ways for him, and they boosted him z wNen they were roasting other play CTS
 But Manager George Gibson made wonderful progress last year toward a flag winning team, but he couldn't quite come across During the winter Gibby plotted and schemed and he swapped and dickered until this spring he had promising looking team when they went to training camp.
 After the season opened and Pitts burg set the pace the croakers said it was a spring flash, and the Pirates would blow up, but they are still going good
 Realizing that Pittsburg would come mighty near having a winning team this year. Babe" Adams determined he would pitch in one more worlds s 2 series. He had his heart set on that, and the smiling veteran has been pitching his head off all season. and everytime yo usee Adams chalk up on the score boards as the pitcher you can get your money down that Pitts, burg is pretty sure to win that game. Pittsburg is hungry for a pennant. It has cast sheep's eyes at the pen nant for a long time in vain.
 Adams wants to stand up before a worlds series mob once more. "I can do just as fine work as I did in 1909, ' he says The fans here will favor him to pitch when it comes to these heart breaking, desperate this-Oneto- win-the flag games.
 If he wins and Pittsburg wins, Adams is content to quit while the N quitting is good He may be persuad- ed possibly. but some doubt it
 Here's Adams own story:

Miss Edith Rexes, Beneficiary
of G. 8. Pinkney's Will, APP
peals to Court.

Townsend Pinkney, brother, and Harry
nelius 8. Pinkney, who died of veronal
poisoning on January 10, 1921, In the
Columbia University Club, are accused
of trying. to defraud Miss Edith Stock
ton Rexes, motion picture actress, out of
her share of the lawyers estate, in affi-
davits on which Surrogate Cohalan will
pass to-day. Mr.. Pinkney neglected his
wife in his will and left large part of
his estate, share estimated at 500. 900.
Ninety-third street.
Miss Rexes has petitioned the Sur
rogates' Court to appoint her or some
one else as coadministrator of the es-
tate with Townsend Pinkney, who was
named administrator in a will which
she offered for probate. dated in jan
uary and making her the chief bene-
ficiary, inasmuch as Townsend Pink
ney is contesting this will and Is seek
ing to substitute one made June %,

toned Mr.. Pinkney bases his contest
on the allegation that his brother was
Of unsound mind when he executed the
January will and that fraud and un-
que inIlueTce were prdCuscu OH HiiIA
by Miss Rexes.
Miss Rexess petition asserts that at
the time of the lawyers death she re-
tanned his partner, Mr.. Robinson, to look
out for her interests, but she says she
soon found out that he was acting
against them. She alleges that both he
and Mr.. Pinkney told her the deceased
lawyer left large debts and that unless
she signed a statement that he was
mentally incompetent during the time
she knew him. which would assist in re-
lieving the estate from payment of teese
debts. there would be little IL anything
left cut of which to pay the legacies. She
says she rejected theee overtures.
She next alleges that Townsend Pink
ney has applied to the court for pernis-
sion to pay $4,000 OF alleged debts of
his brother. which she characterizzes as
a remarkable procedure" In view of his
prior assertion that his brother lacked
testamentary capacity when he executed
the will she offered for probate.
Pinkney's will left Miss Rexes $4,000
outright and all his furniture, pictures
and househould effects In an apartment
which he occupied In 716 Madison ave-

Barytone Heard I'm italian, French
and German.

and German.
The song recital Of Randall Har-
greaves, barytonas in Aeolian Han last
evening was fecund in suggestion. First
and foremost was the suggestion of an
honorably aged and well established
fact. namely. that the art Of interpret
ing songs is one Of the most elusive in
the category Of musical undertakings.
Possibly its elusiveness IL the quality
which deceives so many we'll meaning
singers into the belief that Il is not diff
ficult The singer heard last evening
may have been one Of those so led into
error At any rate he disclosed an
equipment slender and fragile In the
extreme.
Mr. Hargreaves introduced to his
hearers a voice thin and monotonous in
character. devoid of shades of tinbre
and generally hard and unyielding. He
sang one song after another in much
the same manner. and transitions to diff
ferent languages did not seem to lend
variety to his art. Handel in Italian
led to a group Of lyrics in French. and
these gave way to some of the most
familiar Of German lieder. Mr.. Har-
greaves enunciated with considerable
distinctness, but with no distinction. II
ali sounded alike and not vitalized by
the breath Of Afe.
The most interesting element Of the
entertainment was contributed by Frank
Bibb. who played the accompaniments
with his accustomed SKILL Mr.. Har-
greaves was complimented by the pres
ence Of considerable audience and his
palpable efforts were rewarded with
generous applause.
