Home Run King Formerly Used

Him Into Game as 0utfieIder
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent. }

NOHlleu ITeSS starr correspondents
Baseball has never known a greater
figure, fiction never a more colorfu
and romantic hero than George
(Babe) Ruth.
The rise of the chubby, nineteen
yesr-old boy from the obscurity of a
walled industrial school to the PIN
nacle of fame, from poverty to afflu-
ence. makes one of the greatest stories
of a decade.
But for one of those strokes of fate,
which turn the destinies of great mems
lives, Babe Ruth might now be an OBJ
scure tailor or an unknown cigar
maker instead of the greatest ball
player the game ever has known.
Babe Ruth is the pride of the base
ball fan, the idol of the kids and the
biggest individual figure in sport be-
cause he was born with baseball eye
and he developed it from the time he
was able to swing a bat.
He put heart and soul into baseball,
and he rose until he became the great
est hitter of all times and a drawing
card that broke the attendance record
in every park in the American League
lest year.
The Babe" started like one of
Horatio Alger's embryo heroes of the
Sums. He was born of humble par
ents in Baltimore on February I, 1894.
Unable to make both ends meet, his
parents turned him over to the Broth
erssof st. Mary's Industrial School in
Baltimore before he was seven years
old. 1t has been wrongly stated that
the youngster was incorrigible and had
to be turned over to the school for COR
rection.
With the exception of few sum-
mer periods when he was paroled un-
der the care of his father, he remained
at st. Marys until he was nineteen
years of age.
From the time he entered the insti-
tuition he played baseball. Spring
summer, fall, and even on the sunny
days of winter, he was on the dia

BABE RUTH STARTED PLAYING
BALL WHILE AT INDUSTRIAL
SCHOOL AND HAS NEVER QUIT

mond. He pitched, he caught, played
the infield and the outfield with equal
ability, but it was his batting that
made him the most treasured player
on the various teams of a league or
ganized among the inmates of the
school.
While his whole heart was in base
ball, he prided himself upon the
strength of the big, healthy body tina,
made him adept at wrestling and gym
nastic sports. He boasted of his hardy
body and used to wear an open-nicked
shirt during the most severe of winter
weather
He became a subject for concern
when he reached the age of nineteen.
Unsophisticated by his long confine-
ment and possessed of great vitality
and energy, the Brothers of the insti-
tuition had fears of what would happen
if he Were given his liberty without
having a watchful eye over him.
Having observed his baseball talent
and feeling sure that he could make a
success of the professional game, the
president of the institution asked Jack
Dunn, manager of the Baltimore In
ternational League to give him a trial.
Without having seen him in act on.
Dunn accepted him on the recommen-
dation of his guardians, and took him
to Baltimore in January, 1914. A week
ahead of the club he went to the train
ing camp at Fayetteville, n. c., where
he caused a sensation by his hitting.
Dunn started him as a pitcher. and he
made good at once by defeating the
Philies, the Athletics and the Giants.
The Baltimore Club went on the
rocks when the Federal League in
vaded, and Dunn had to get rid of his
star players. He sold Ruth, Shore and
Egan to the Boston Red SoX for
$4,000.
Ruth continued as a pitcher with
the Red Sox, and he was a mighty
good one, perhaps the best southpaw
in the league. But his batting was at
tracing more attention. In 1915 he
won is out of 25 games and batted
.S15. In 1916 he won 20 out of SO
games and batted .272. In 1917 he
won "a out of 81 games and batted
1926.
Realizing then that he was too val
liable a man to be kept on the bench
three or four games a week, the man
agement of the club started using him
alternately in the box, on first base

Dear Sir: In the interest OF the
tariff we are asking on vegetable oils
we had last week a long talk with
Hon. Charles r. Crisp AS you prob
ably know, Judge Crisp has person
ally been in sympathy with the fight
which we are making. However, the
Democratic members of the house
organized a caucus to determine the
attitude which they should take with
respect to any tariff legislation. By
close vote the caucus bound all
Democratic congressman to vote
against any tariff legislation pro-
posed by the Republican majority.
This of course, bound Judge Crisp
to vote in accordance with the action
of the caucus. There was but one
thing. therefore. which he could do
and that was to vote against thu
emergency tariff measure.
81 feel that l should add that, to
my own knowledge, Judge Crisp is
doing more for our cause than any
other Georgia congressman, and we
are undoubtedly obligated to him for
his splendid help and, but for the ac-
ton Of the Democratic caucus, there
is no doubt in my mind that he would
vote for the tariff protecting our in
