HARD HITTING RIVAL
OF RUTH EATS HIS
WAY OUT OF LEAGUE
BY DAVID J. WALSH,
International News Service Sports
Editor.

NEW YORK. April 12.-This is
a story of the only man in organized
baseball who swings a bat as heavy
as Babe Ruth's and eats Sc worth of
food a day in country where fifty
cents will feed stevedore.
Our hero, Floyd Herman. was born
of poor but honest parents and at an
early age set out to make his way IN
the world with baseball bat In his
hands and chronic yearn for food in
the region of his abdomen,
In due time he arrived in Edmon-
ton, Canada, where he achieved some
notoriety because of the fact, that his
bat weighed fifty-six ounces; thus
sharing with Ruth's big stick the dis
tinction of.being the heaviest in base
ball. They came to call him Babe"
larkely because he was so different.
Herman swung the bat for total of
seven home runs last year, but in these
parlous times such a performance
passes unnoticed even in the majors.
What An Apeptite!
The appetite, however moved the
popuiace to envy and the club owner
to tears. The latter was often heard
to remark that he hired a ball player
and found himself in possession of a
! boa constructor.
| So great was our hero's gastronomit
ability that the club owner called fol
a new deal, requiring that the young
man hit over 300 for the season be-
fore his transportation to Glendale
Cal, would be advanced.
All went well for time. With less
4 than five weeks to go, Herman wa'

 Revelations were made at the meeting regarding wholesale viola act which, it is said were astonish ing.
 President Harding later author ized the statement that at some fu- ture date an effort would be made to give the public a comprehensive idea of just what is going on in vio lation of law. The president and his advisers, it was autloritatiyely dis closed, are much alarmed over the situation and the grave menace to the moral fiber of the community which appears to exist.
 Apart from the question of law enforcement the matter of gravest concern to the president and his ad visers is the undermining of the moral sense of the American people through the constant, fragrant and . ready violation of the enforcement act.
