THE world series is a great event
regardless of the contesting

the big show that is lacking in the
ordinary contest. A lot of people who
take only passing interest in base

around.
Can you imagine world series with
the only Babe" Ruth as an added at
traction? If the New York Yankees

Immediately he forgets all about home
runs, chokes up and is content with

The thought that Ruth might bunt
ball was never given the slightest
consideration. 1t was figured he liked
his healthy cut at the ball too much
to try to lay one down. Then all of
sudden Ruth started to give the
third basemen the surprise of their
