The success of the Yankees cannot
be given as a personal tribute to the
prowess of Ruth, but the hitting and
all-afound playing Of the Mauling
Mountain certainly Is responsible in a
large measure.
Baseball fans are prone to look upon
the great home-run king merely as a
remarkable slugger and are apt to lose
trace of the fact that his terrific hit
ting wins games. Photographers poked
fun at the New Workers. with their
bromide Of Ruth Hits Homer, but
Yanks Lose" as their pet standing
headline. but lately this has been
changed to "Ruth's Homer Wins for
Yanks."
Breaks His Own Mark.
This season Ruth broke his own
worlds record in home runs, lifting
the total from fifty-four to fifty.nine,
and trimmed George Sisters figures
on total extra bases. In addition, he
has hit a baseball further than any
ball player, living or dead. This un-
doubtedly qualities him as the greatest
slugger.
The run-getting record of 1853 made
by Ruth last season has been sur
passed and now stands at 176. This

topnotchers on the runways.
Always Plays to Win.
No one can ever accuse the Babe
Of laying down. He has the proper
spirit toward the game. He plays
baseball to win always and he never
quits. This makes him eligible as a
fighter.

the greatest crowd that ever crowded
into Shibe Park was on hand when
the Yanks were here for a SATURDAY
doubleheader and the series meant
nothing. This rates him as baseball S

Ruth cannot field with Cobb or
Speaker and can't think with them,
but II the three were in the same

up position. He hasn't the technique
and the finesse that marks George Sis
ler's batting and playing. but the st.
Louis luminary lacks the tremendous
wallop and run-getting ability of the
New York idol.
These facts put together qualify him
as the greatest player in baseball.
Grand Average Of 1927.
1t was during the 1915 season that
Ruth broke into big.league baseball,
then as a pitcher with the Boston Red
Sox. He was in forty-two games that
year and in ninety-two times at bat
hit for an average of 1916.
The next year he had 1876 tries and
hit .272, this being the poorest per.
centage Of his career in the big show.
He returned to the 300 class in 1917
with 1926, and hit an even 800 in 1918.
His last year with the Red Sox
found him slapping the sphere at 1922.
He went forward with leaps and
bounds when he got with the Yanks
and last season hit 1915.
This year his percentage 80 far Is
$3.50. Across the stretch Of seven
seasons he has whaled for a grand
average of 1927.
Ruth didn't class as a home.run hit
ter until 1913 and then only eleven
circuit clouts came from his wicked
wood. He started on the rosy road
in real in 1919, when he set up a new
major league record at twenty.nine.

Taxes of the Poor Man.

In is interesting to know that op-
position to what is called the sales
tax comes for the most part from
those who fancy it will Tighten the
burden of the rich and transfer it
to the poorer classes. And some of
these go so far as to add, "the poorer
classes who now escape taxation and
who ought to escape it," 1t is Won
derful how prevalent is the impress
sion that the poorer classes escape
taxation and how wide of the mark
it is. But as long as it makes way
it will continue an obstacle in the path
of agreement upon a system of taxa
ton based upon general business
turnover.
Nobody goes untaxed and nobody
should go untaxed. The burden of
government should be borne by all,
but should be distributed in proper
ton to the ability to bear. That sys-
tenn is concededly the worst which pro-
vides for invisible taxation so that it
is difficult or impossible to determine
how equally the distribution of the
burden is made. Thus, under the
present system the poor man pays no
taxes directly to the internal revenue
agent and deceivcs himself into think
ing that therefore he pays no tax at
all. AS a matter of fact he pays a
tax with every purchase he makes, and
pays more than he should of the taxes
the rich man is enabled to pass along
to him under the system.
It would be admirable if the poor
could be informed precisely Of the op-
Grafton of the taxing system. Too
many of them are Indifferent on the
mistaken theory that they pay no
tax, and the system does not interest
them. If they knew to a certainty
just what part Of the burden they
are bearing-and assuredly the rich
man makes no mistake about inform
ing himself-they would become infu-
entail in forming the body Of opin-
ion which determines the tax system;
and at least would not, through indif-
ference and want Of knowledge, be
used as defenders of a system known
to be injurious. The present system is
to be abolished for the most part, but
the wisdom Of the plan to be substi-
tuted will depend upon public opinion;
and public opinion is incomplete and
misleading unless it includes the
views of the masses who really pay
the taxes, though so few of them rea-
lie it.-St. Paul Dispatch.
