RUTH'S LEADING
RIVAL MAY NOT
BE In BIG GAME
Farrell Compares Abilities
Of Leading Batsmen for
World Series
Bv HENRY l.. FARRELL
United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-One year
ago, the thought of 4 rival outdoing
Babe Ruth at his own stuff would
have been considered ridiculous. Many
things happen in a year, however, and
1922 finds Ken Williams, the lanky
outfielder Of the St--Louis Browns, the
swat king of the majors.
Williams would have been a fine
card for the world s series but 1t looks
now as though the Browns would not
have part in the fall play. Next to
Ruth, Williams is the hardest hitter
in the game and the best of three left
field fielders who have chance to
appear in the series.
''Irish" Meusel, the Giant left field
er, is not the best player in the bus
mess but he is very good.
He is % reliable fielder and danger
GUS man at the bat.
Babe Ruth is the regular left field
er for the Yanks and he probably will
work there if the club gets into the
series. He has less ground to cover
there but he has been confused by the
sun.
Tnth has weakness on ground
balls and he is slow getting over near
the foul line which makes him a
rather uncertain fielder in left.
,~rhe Babe has q very good arm and
bp is more accurate throwing to the
plate than Williams or Meusel.
.Meusel, when he was with the
Faillies, 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.

In marked contrast to Yale, there Is
the case of Cornell, one of the best
scoring teams of 1921, with the out
look for a great combination this fall.
Instead of giving the team a schedule
that would allow it a real ranking after
the Season, the Cornell management
arranged games that look like an obvi-
Gus ambition for an undefeated season
Cornell plays st. Bonaventure, New
Hampshire State, Iowa Wesleyan, Col
umbia, Dartmouth, Albright and Penn
sylvania.
Dartmouth is the only hard spot on
the schedule.
The "Big Three has been accused
in the past of falling for the lare OF
set-ups, but Yale, Harvard and Prince
ton drew up some real opposition fol
1922.
Yale S schedule has been mentioned
and Harvard has only slightly easier
task against Middlebury, Holy Cross
Imperial Valley press., 1922-09-21

The day is not far distant when a
national championship may be awarded
unofficially through large number of
important inter-sectional games. The
list of east against west and south this
fall is most imposing. Some of the
major intersectional battles are North
Carolina and Yale, Iowa and Yale,
Centre and Harvard, Florida and Har-
ward, Virginia and Princeton, Chicago
and Princeton, University of the South
and Penn, Alabama and Penn, Wabash
and Washington and Jefferson, Neb-
raska and Syracuse, McGill (Canada)
and Syracuse, Kansas and Army, Geor-
gia Tech and the Navy, st. Xavier S
(Cincinnati) and the Navy, st. Louis
and Notre Dame, Georgia Tech and
Notre Dame and the Army and Notre

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-Football
schedules for the major elevens in 1922
are mixture of some extremely hard
going and some exceedingly soft sailing.
Yale, with the prospects of a very
fine team, has arranged very difficult
schedule. VI the Els get over the
bumps ahead of them, Yale can come
near claiming the national champion
ship-this side of the Pacific Coast.
On successive Saturdays from Sept
ember %, the New Haven eleven will
play Bates, Carnegie, North Carolina,
Iowa, Williams, Army, Brown, Mary
land, Princeton and Harvard.
That is some schedule!

REGARD FOR HEROES WISHES
Judge Neterer Of Seattle Holds Re.
guest Of Soldier Killed IN War
Demands First Consideration.

is the last wish of soldier dying
on the field Of battle more to be re-
spected than legal forms decked out
with sealing wax? The American
Legion thinks II is. Recent cases be-
fore the courts have brought the ques-
tion to the front. According to Federal
Judge Neterer of Seattle the wish of
a soldier killed in battle Is higher law
than any departmental regulation. Ac-
cording to this decision Agnes Claffy,
sixteen-year old niece of Clarence
Swank, is awarded the residue of
, Swank's estate, amounting to $4,000.
Swank was killed in France. Depart
mental red tape cluttered up the case
on account of the death Of Swank's
mother, the original beneficiary. In
handing down his decision Judge
Neterer cited precedents extending
bnck to the days of Caesar and the
legionnaires of ancient Rome.
The latest case Is that OF Miss
Elenore r. Knapp of New York, whose
claim to the estate of Ernest Charl-
ton Mason OF the One Hundred and
Sixth United States infantry has been
contested by Mason's uncle. In a
muddy dugout before a general ad-
vance against the Germans, Mason
told his buddle, Oscar Westgate, the
story OF his engagement, and added
that he now felt that in this advance
he was slated to ego West" IF
don't come through this" he said, as
they started over the top, II want Ell
enore to have all my estate"
Mason, among others, was cut of
and captured by the Germans. They
were taken to the same prison camp.
For ten days, bunkie testified, Mason
lay III on the ground with influenza.
Then he was taken away In an ambu-
lance and his death reported. Event
ually a death certificate was issued
by the United States government. But
the attorneys for Mason's uncle con-
tested the case to the extent Of argu-
ing that the proof Of death" was un.
satisfactory.
The justice of the soldiers latest
will has been upheld in startling fash,
ion by the highest courts of England
recently. An English major of in.
fantry died alone in his lodgings in
London directly after the armistlce
He left no legal will. Across the front
