SPORTS RATED
 GREATEST ALL
 BALL PLAYERS

CHICAGO June 1.-The outstand- ing feature of this seasons baseball race in both major leagues is the won- derful all-round work of George Sis Ter of the St. Louis American League aggregation His work makes him stand out without a peer in either league. He is undoubtedly the most valuable man playing ball today, de- spite the huge salary paid Ruth for his hitting ability.
 Sisler who holds down the first bag for his team is fielding in a form that can be described as nothing less than brilliant. In almost every branch of the game he is leading his competi- tors. He is first in batting averages in his own league and has a comfort able margin in advance of the lead ine batter of the National League, Roger Hornsby.
 To itemize Sfew of the departments of the game where Sisler leads: lie is first in batting average; first Tn the number of runs scored; first in total hits. first in total bases made by his hits: first in the number of three7bag gers made: first in stolen bases; and the first man in either league to make hundred hits this season. II that IS not enough honor for one man it might be mentioned that he is close to the top in the number of two-baggers made. and in the number of home runs made in the American League. His batting average is now .435. He made his hundredth hit last Wednesday.
 Bing Miller is second in batting in the younger league, far behind Sisler, with an average of .376. The old re liable Ty Cobb of the Tigers is third with .375. Roger Hornsby, the leading batter of the National League, has an average of .399 Hank Gowdy of Bos- ton and Griffith of Brooklyn are tied for second place with 1885.

and had almost given up trying.

Keep the Baby Quiet at NIGHT.

Getting up in the night to quiet an
uneasy baby Is not the joke that some
comic writer's represent it to be. A
young husband discovered this in case
Of his first-born and the means he
took to overcome the difficulty won
him a prize In a contest in new uses
for electricity. =
The only means of quieting this
baby, who was ailing, was to move
him up and down, gently. In the low
or part of the crib the father fastened
the motor Of a discarded electric fan.
From a. small pulley on the motor he
ran a belt to q larger pulley on a
short shaft, at the other end Of which
he rugged a crank. Then. he extended
a connecting rod to the center Of the
frame that supported the springs and
mattress. : - =
The motor, when started, moyed
springs, mattress and baby up and
down about an inch, smoothly, gently
and regularly. 1t proved entirely sat
isfactory to, the baby, who ID now
one year old, healthy and happy. and
he has never got his parents ont Of
