LATE START AND BIG WORRY

BY BABE RUTH

Besides answering the stated ques- tIons some of the writers added com ments and suggestions. To show how extremely opposite were their opin- ions; I quote the comments of two writers. for whom I have a very high personal regard and who have watched me in every game this season. as both of them accompany the Yankees on
 Opinions Differ.
 One said that I should choke my bat If necessary until the end of the season." while here are the exact words of his fellow writer-I do not believe Ruth should choke his bat, as it is not his natural way" Both of these men are considered students of baseball and neither knew what the other had written.
 I know the only satisfactory answer and pound the ball on the nose. But having given the interesting explana- tions of the New York sport writers, would like to offer my own.

 Once behind, it's extra tough to catch up. Apply that to any subject, whether it's paying back bills, a relay race or hitting home runs. So in addition to a delayed start, was slow lin catching up."
 This unsettled me and got me to experimenting. First I changed my stand at the plate. then my grip on the bat, and finally my manner of swinging. The result has been con fused and cratic effort that has made me look worse than many of the poor est batters in the league.
 But I'm finding myself. Last week I passed the 300 mark for the first time. I'm getting my little hits now every day and the big ones are com ing. The pitchers are absolutely no better than a year ago and the fences are just as close they ever were. And as for home runs-were they ever SO plentiful?

Tm O,ROurke;s Changeable VieUs On Umpire BilZ KZem

Jim O'Rourke had a changeable mind. Something like May sunshine and December snow squalls, said an old time fan. who related an incident in which Orator Jim" and Umpire Bill KIem. when the latter broke in the Eastern League some years ago, filled the chief roles. At that time Dan Shannon was supervisor of um- pires and corraled klem who was eo- ing good on semi-pro diamonds in New York.
 KIem made his debut in Springfield when Bridgeport was playing. It was a hard fought game which Bridgeport annexed, thanks to Umpire Klem's favors on close decisions and there were a lot of them.
 O'Rourke chanced to run into shannon and the gang" where they used to hold their nightly baseball post-nortems and hailed shannon.
 "I say, Dan Shannon, where did you dig up that new umpire?'
 shannon told the Orator" much to the latters satisfaction.
 1T say, Dan shannon, he is the m ost intelligent and educated arbiter of the diamond and the close plays that abounds thereon in close con tests that we are waging. He's symbolic of all that is square. He's honest and courageous and fit to blow the trumpet of Gabriel and sit among the angels on the pearly heights on high I say, Dan Shannon, you did a magnificent job when you concen- trated your .craftiness with your goo6

 It was different a few days later.

 "I say. Dan Shannon, where did you get that over-rated pompous bit of humanity, you call Umpire Klem. He's as big joke on the baseball field as one of Barnum's rhinos would be. What do you think of his high bounding audacity he un- loaded by threatening to put me out of my ball park on the street? "I say, Dan Shannon, I desire to expostulate with you. He Fhas no

 Fans may be surprised to learn that in the press box at the Polo Grounds I found just as great difference of opinion as might prevail among any group of baseball fans in the country. Blanks similar to questionnaire were distributed in the press box. Baseball writers representing thirteen New York papers filled out the blanks which contained the following nine Items as probable causes of my home son. swinging too hard, lack of con ddence. worry. opposing pitchers, choking bat, over-anxiousness, eye slgnt poor and stance.
 Answers Checked or.
 Each baseball writer was asked to check off what he considered the three most important causes and number them in the order of their importance als representing the number of votes each cause received:
 Handicap in starting season. ..--. 8 Worry 8 Over-anxiousness ............ 8 Swinging too hard -....-..-... Opposing pitchers. 5 Eyes1ght poor. Lack of confidence. ce...-....... l Choking bat. l Stance at plate- 0 Five writers out of thirteen put down unable to start the season with other players as the principal of three they mentioned.
 Four named worry as the principal reason and two believed "over- anxious"was my chief failing. "Op- posing pitchers was put at the top of the list t-by one writer and single ballot was cast for swinging too soon.'' The latter said he based his opinion on the theory of swinging in golf.

BRITISH YOUTHS LURED BY ,PAClFlC
 ISLANDS CALL

London. Aug. 11.-Discouraged at the outlook in this country, dissat1s- fled with the after-war Britain, but actuated mainly by a love of adven- ture, about a dozen engineering stu dents of Loughborough college are setting out on September 1 for an un- inhabited Pacific Island belonging to Ecuador.
 Most of them are ex-officers. Among them is an author, D. l.. David who wrote "Ya Brot." He expects to find in the new settlement work for his pen as well as his hands. A 90-ton vessel is being made ready for the expedition.
 The chief means of existence they hope to find by utilizing the resources of the island itself; the development of fruit-growing and the breeding of cattle.
 All hands vii be required to work although climatic conditions, 1t has been ascertained, are ideal and all they will need for food can be obtained without working, if they are content just to loaf and invite their souls"
 Their destined home, the adventur- CTS say, is about 500 miles from the Panama Canal.
