string upwards.
This spring i'm training he has
shown the same tendency to lunge.
He is as overanxious AS a child.
He expects to see every ball ne
swings at disappear over the bar
riers.
Pitchers off whom ne made mis-
wonder record agree that if the
Babe has weakness at bat they
have not found out what it is.
He is apt to strike out on a fast
one. or a slow one. during one in
ming. The next time he comes up
he'll pulverize the same kind of
pitching.
His 1920 Record.
Babe made 172 hits in 1920. Of
these 80 were for extra bases. He
walked las times lie scored 1873
runs. He drove in 137 runs. He
struck out so times.
His "a home runs did not win as
many games for the Yankees as one
would think. The records show
that only nine of his four base
drives actually turned the tide Of
victory to the Yanks.
Yet the psychology Of slugging
which his pace set for his team
mates caused them to set new

To Babe Ruth the word impossi-
bic is found only in vocabularies of
one-cylinder minds.
Fifty-four home runs plus!
That is the impossible record
which ne expects TO break this sea
son.
But will he?
The odds fig lred on basis of The
normal human are against him.
Yet Babe is "A super-a freak. He
is believer in Babe Ruth.
He has not yet reached the point
where he knows the extent Of his
strength to consistently drive out
home runs.
This year he may find his own
limitations
Prophets Fail.
The majority of ball layers say
Babe will not repeat. They said the
same two years ago when he set his
first record of 20.
When a player makes record
that none Of the thousands of base
balls stars for the past 45 years has
even touched. the color of the pic
ture is. different.
Last year Babe didn't start to hit
until May.
He was lungiug at the bail. It

lie has but one object when at the

Speculative Swing.
Each time he swings he puts
every ounce of his 225 pounds OF

His crusade against pitchers this
summer will be more interesting
than watching the pennant races
themselves.
1t is the highest goal a human
ever shot a.
If he fails to hit 29-his 1919
world record-he'H be considered a

Babe has not yet learned the
meaning of the word impossible.
He is the superlative Of our base

now sweeping over the country has
left stranded scores of beauties who
formerly dazzled theater audiences
by their agility and other accomp-
lishments. Several shows in Chica-
go and other cities in the west have
found it Improbable to continue and
have curtailed their engagements, or
abandoned their tours, with the re-
suit that many chorus girls and 9th
er employees find themselves strand
ed. An authority on the matter of
destitute thespians says there are at
least 200 chorus girls out of work
in Chicago alone.
Most of them, it is said, are liv-
ing as best they can at the cheapest
restaurants and sleeping long hours
AS one fthem explained it:
When you're asleep, you're not
hungry"
Various shows began to blow up
two months ago. The principals has
ten back to New York, but they leave
the chorus girls and other employees
in whatever city they happen to be
when the break comes.
