NEW YORK.-All normal chill
dren could be perfect nature ba
bies" II their parents were willing
to pay the price.
So says James Syracuse, father Of
New York's marvellous Tarzan child
Jimmy Syracuse, Jr., who is now 25
months old.
The price is high. Not iasmoney
but in self-denial, self-restraint,
study and never-ceasing watchful-
ness.
Yet, after observing Jimmy at his
morning play among the fallen
trees and sharp edged boulders OF
the precipitous heights plunglng
down to the Harlem river. It is evil
dent that Jimmy's youthful father
and mother feel themselves ade-
quately rewarded.
Jlmmy's naked little body is toned
to life-guard brown; lighted
by a shock of tow-colored hair and
brilliant black eyes. While his
flesh is firm it has all the softness
and silky suppleness OF babyhood.
Powerful muscles ripple under
the skin OF his arms, shoulders.
back and legs.
Feet Are Fascinating.
His feet are positively fascinat-
ing. They're big feet, with long
toes which grip like sturdy fingers
as the youngster swarms up rocky
cliffs or unconcernedly walks the
trunks of dead trees overhanging
chasms where slip would mean
instant death.
Where conditions of his travel
through the wild fastness make 1t
necessary he drops to all tours and
continues on his way.
Jimmy has been compared to the
agile ape. But as 1 gazed at his
amazing antics 1 could think only
of roly-poly bear cub.
The boy is being brought up
under the natural methods advo-
Gated by DR.. Elmer Lee. editor of
Health Culture magazine" said the
father.
Think of the word nature" and
you'll Immediately perceive the
fundamentals of Jimmy's training.
Food? Mother milk until he was
20 months old. Then five meals
daily of vegetables. figs. dates and
bananas. No milk, no cooked foods
of any kind.
Twelve Hours Sleep.
Sleep? From at night to 6 in
the morning. on a hard bed. with
head lower than feet. No pillow.
Wide open windows.
Toys? Rocks and sticks.
Clothes2 None, summer or win
ter, except where the rigors of I'M
city ordinances make |
apparel necessary.
The father and mother are rellg- |
ous. Yet Jimmy will not go to |
church until he is 10.

Then" said James Syracuse, ST.,
''he will learn to read in six months,
and be leading his classes in two
years"
Father and mother were born in
Italy. The father Is "a. His wife

several years and were married in
New York. The father is an Amer
lean citizen and served in the army
intelligence service during the war.
James Syracuse operates a large
candy factory. but his family doesn't
eat sweets. He has a fine home, but
he and his wife and Jimmy live on
the top floor of a six-story walk
up" where rent is S35 month be-
cause this particular apartment af-
fords more light and better air
than the fine residence.
Mornings the father accompanies
the boy in his perilous journeys
among the cliffs, while the mother
devotes her afternoons to the job.
Truly, being the parents of a Won
der child has its drawbacks. The
two seemingly live entirely for the
marvellous Jimmy.
MY wife is the most wonderful
woman in the world" said Syracuse.
THE baby has never been sick.
He never has had a cold. He plays
in poison ivy and is immune" he
continued. Every baby could be
that way. But 1t means much sacri-
flee of the pleasant things provided
by an over-oivilized world"
Laughed at Movies.
Neither fame nor fortune can
tempt Mr.. and Mrs. Syracuse from
their answering determination to
make Jimmy a paragon.
I'VE laughed in the face of
great movie magnate who wanted
our Jimmy to act" said Syracuse.
Il don't make much money, but we
don't need much to live as we do"
One thing more. If you're

Williams May Outshine
Ruth in World Series

| FEEDERS.
Babe Ruth is the regular left
| fielder for the Yankees and he prob
ably will work there If the club gets
into the series. He has less ground
to cover there but he has been con-
fused by the sun. Early in the sea-
son, figuring that the strain on his
eyes was hurting his batting. Man
ager Higgins shifted him over to
right field and used Bob Meusel,
brother of the Giant out fielder. in
his place. The change. however,
did not produce much improvement
in the swatter's batting.
Ruth has a weakness on ground
balls and he is slow getting over near
the foul line which makes him a
rather uncertain fielder in left. The
wall in right field reduced the terri
tory that he had to cover there.
The Babe has a very good arm
and he is more accurate in throwing
to the plate than Williams or Irish"
Meusel
Meusel when he was with the
Phillies was ranked as one of the
home-run kings of the league and
while he has hit number this year
he hasn't kept up with the lively ball
like some of his rival sluggers.
The three felders are all danger !
Gus batters and figuring their all
around offensive and defensive
strength, they might be ranked, Will
liams, Meusel and Ruth.

Krebs evened up the series with
Seventh Ward in the post season
set of three games for the cham
pionship of the City League last
night at Harlan Field. 4 to /. The
game was called after six innings
had been played on account OF
darkness.
Some talk OF protest by Seventh
Ward on account Of the use OF a
pitcher named Hurlock by Krebs
has been heard but none has been
registered with any official of the
City League. President Warren saw
the game and said this morning that
no protest had been registered with
him. He also said that Krebs has
regularly signed player named Hur-
lock, but the question. from all re-
ports. seems to be whether the man
who was on the mound for the New
port nine yesterday was Hurlock or
not.
Outside of Hurlock's hurting the
game was devoid of unusual fea-
lures. The Chicks could do nothing
with his offerings and he came
through with a no-hit game.
Doc Hoch's work behind the bat
was of exceptional variety while
Johnny Brodley with homer and
a double and Baldwin with a pair of
two-base blows. were the leading
hitters.
The teams will meet in the third
game of the series on Saturday. Ac-
cording to original arrangements
the game is to be played at Pennsy
Field but II is understood that eff
forts are being made to secure Har-
Ian Field for the game. The scnre.

STARS READY,
LOOK EN- over
McLaughlin's Baseball Pick
Meets Saints in First of
Series Tonight
HARD HITTING
TEAM SELECTED

The opportunity to compare
consensus pick of the leading dia-
mond talent OF these environs with
the st. Thomas club. also conceded
20 be a selection of the best in local
baseball will be offered when the
City League All-Stars and the Saints
clash in the first game of their
series at Harlan Field this evening.
Tne game will start promptly at
$50 o'clock and all prayers are re-
Quested to report sufficiently in adj
vance of this time TO avoid delay.
The series has long been talked
of as the result of the original sug-
eestion by The Battle-Age, and
through the columns of which the
consensus selection OF the City
League All-Stars was aided. A num-
Der Of picked teams from players
who cavorted in the Warren loop
during the season were published in
The Battle-Axe and Nudge Nc
Laughlin, who is handling the af-
fairs of the stars, made his choice
in accordance with the lineups sub
nitted and from his judgment Of the
value of the players. Nudge played
in the City League with Parkside
and Eastlake and was among the
beading hitters and infielders. His
long experience in sports should
stand him IN good stead in the Sc
lection of an all-star team. The
players picked as the Saints oppo-
nents are chosen from their batting
as well as fielding ability.
Topping the list comes doc" Ira
Hoch, the stellar backstop of the
city, and of the State, for that mat
ter. His work behind the bat was
the big factor in winning the first
half for Krebs and keeping them
well up In the final dash.
The pitching selection for this
evenings contest will be "Babby"
McGonigle of the Eastlake club. |
"Babby" throws them from the fork
side and as this kind of pitching has
seemed to trouble the Saints he
should be able 10 set quite a few
down.
The shortfeld job has been as
signed to Paul McCullin whose
playing has been the bright spot of
the Seventh Ward club. He also can
crash the apple. At the hot corner
will be seen Boots" Galloway the
Krebs third sacker. Galloway turned
down several offers to play with st.
Thomas this season preferring 20
stick with the Newport outfit.
Big Bill Lang who alternates be-
tween first base and catcher for the
Bankers and Brokers will hold down
the initial hassoek and his hitting is
expected to be a deciding factor in
today's game. Whitley Whiteman
who lost 4 to tilt to the Saints"
while pitching for the Seventh Ward
club viii be the other hurler to be
used in the series and many fans
claim with a hitting team behind
him he can pull through with a win.
A trio of fly ball hawks have been
selected to cover the outer defense
and the fans VIII agree that it is a
pretty hard matter to hit one past
such fleet outer gardeners as Lex
Gillespie of the Defiance club who /
also performed for the st. Thomas |
team. Johnny Gerstenberg of the !
Bankers and Brokers rated as the !
fastest man in the city and "Ziggy" =
