- Babe Ruth, whose praises have been
sung in every tongue where baseball is
Known, had the grandest day of his
grand career yesterday. Two home
runs did the Swatting Demon produce,
and one of them was of the sort that
deserves all the laurel wreaths ever
wreathed. 1t was in the third inning
that the Babe, with home run into
the left-tieid bleachers already under
his belt, gave the lively horsehide an
other ride into the great beyond.
Manager Tyrus Cobb was leaning
against the center-field bleachers few
feet from Captain Eddie Grants Me-
mortal when it happened. Tyrus would
have wagered his entire managerial sti-
pend against the probability of Ruthless
Ruth knocking the ball over his head
But that's just what happened. And
how the frantic $1,000 fans yelled when
the ball propelled by the Babe sailed
gayly over Tyrus and landed in the
tifth- row of bleacherites, who had
watched its fight. hoping that they
might have an opportunity to emulate
the highbrow grand-standers by
scrambling for the possession of a
Babe Ruth homer.
Longest Drive on Record
1t is true that on Monday Ruth hit
ball into these same center-tield Id
bleachers, but this drive of yesterday
was twep<y or more feet to the left of
where it's predecessor went, and, in
fact, just missed the green curtain
that is supposed to keep such batting
eyes as those of the Babes in trim.
Now according to Henry Fabian,
agroundkeeper extraordinary of the
Polo Grounds, this latest home run
contribution of Ruth travelled ATS feet.
bat the measurement taken merely COW
cred the distance between the home
plate and the particular spot where
the ball left the grounds. 1t is safe to
say. that the total distance covered by
the flight of the ball was in the neigh
borhood of 500 feet. Also worthy of
note is the fact that this homer was
The tenth that has been fed to the Babe

should be duly recorded With all the

woIf>When Ruth and his bat appear,

II was the first time Ruth had paid his
respects to the war taxpayers who as

As for the ball game it has already
been told in great part, for these two
