Babe Ruth caused the boy to smile
almost as broadly as Babe. It also
gave him courage, and he confded
to Babe that he would like to get an
action picture Of him making a home
run. Getting Off the bench, Ruth
picked out his favorite bat, walked
out in front OF the bench, and then
took one Of his deadly swings and
held it until the boy had snapped
couple OF pictures.
In all my life I never saw a more
delighted youngster. He thanked
Ruth profusely and was about to
walk Off the field. when Babe said
to him:
Perhaps you would like to have
picture taken with me7" That one
almost fioored the kid. After recov-
ering his speech. he said he would
be delighted. Calling one Of the other

the boy and posed for a couple of
pictures A pat on the back. and a
hearty hand shake followed.
Some twenty-five thousand people
were in the stands. Evidently all of
them we're as interested as I in the
Incident, for as Babe walked to the
bench he got greater ovation for
that little act Of kindness than for
any home run he ever made at the
Polo Grounds.

JAP POCKETBOOK
GUIDES POLICY
Nation Alarmed BY Falling
Off of Its Export
Trade
WANTS
MORE TEAM WORK
BY ALBERT APPLE.

NEW YORK-Japan's policy in
the Far East, particularly in China,
is based on big and constant leak
in Japan's pocketbook.
This is the leak: Since 1913
Japan's imports have been exceeding
her exports. in terms OF money.
The result of the situation is that
Japan is paying out more than she is
taking in This is an alarming
situation. from the japanese view
point. For Japan, having a small
territory and a congested and rap
idly growing population, should, ac-
cording to economic laws, be a big
exporting nation with the trade bal
ance in her favor or at least break
ing even.
What Japan needs most are raw
materials. These lie at her doorstep
in China. an Aladdin's cave of un-
developed resources. China, for in
stance, has enough unmined coal to
supply the world 1000, 900 tons
a year for 1000 years
Latest figures on Japan's foreign
trade are for September 1921. These
are the figures, expressed in yen, the
Japanese unit Of money, worth
about so cents American at par;
Exports .....--. 95,4S7, 900 yen
Imports ...... .127, ,S7S, 900 yen
Deficit ......... 32,391, 900 yen
In 1920, Japan imported about
5000, 900 worth of goods more
than she exported.
Forty-five per cent Of Japan's
total exports in September. 1921.
we're to the United States, which In
turn furnished 80 per cent of
Japan's total imports. Uncle Sam
is easily Japans best customer.
Between 1904 and 1918, Chinese
imports increased 700 per cent. from
Japan, 244 per cent. from United
States and so per cent from Eng
land.
The Chinese boycott against Jap
anese goods went into effect May 1,
| 1919. Within 60 days, Japan's trade
, with China was cut in two.
In September, 1921, China took
only 19 per cent OF Japan's tota'
exports and furnished only eight
per cent Of Japan's imports.
Here's how Japan and United
States compared in trade with China
during September:
EXPORTS.
Japan to China. 00C
U. S. to China. 200
IMPORTS.
China to Japan. $4,000. 90
China to u. S............$9,559
These figures show that, although
Japan is at China's doorstep and has
a great geographical advantage
China is giving s1S4 worth of bust.
