Morning Post over the use OF the words

The trouble started few days ago
when an irate woman reader asked the
editor why he had dropped the name OF
Old England from the paper, why kaw-
Irson and Jellico were described as

~ were termed Scotch or Irish, and why
English regiments were termed Brit

use of the word "Britishers" which Is
universally condemned in England.

DOOLITTLE DID A LOT WHEN HE FLEW

Lieutenant Doolttle showed no signs
that he was worried about his new
task
He ought not to be anxious about 1t
for he has plenty Of time to make the
flight and intends to take 1t in easy
stages, instead Of with only one stop
as on his flight from ocean to ocean
In the famous airplane flight Of No

that Doolittle and his team had to be

Doollttle showed much Of that en-

Having said all this. Huggins in
sisted that not word be mentioned
about it until after the trip. He felt
chary about starting into the country
of the enemy with any comment or pre-
dictions floa ting loose in the base ball
atmosphere.
Team and Ruth Play Well.
The trip is over and the Sanks
broke better than ever. Ruth play
ed better ball than he had been play
ing prior to the time that the team
started west and for these reasons
the conversation with HugginS comes
TO be very good base ball history. 1t
will now be in order for the New
York club TO win the championship
10 vindicate the judgment OF the
New York manager
As matter of fact. the New York
club on it's trip west played better
base ball than the other clubs in the
American League had anticipated.
Very likely the managers of rival
clubs made their estimate OF what
New York could do on the basis OF
what New York did in the earlier
part of the season. Ty Cobb ala
two-thirds of their games. Gieas IN
thought they would be lucky if they
even broke even. Fohl of st. Louis,
as usual. had nothing TO say.
Ia an Exceptional Feat.
The trip made by the Yankees is
UP to the standard of their trips of
last year, when they won their first
pennant In some years such trip
might have broken the spirit of the
contender. Any base ball team win
ming approximately two games in
three Is playing the kind of ball
that discourages the other fellow.
However. there enters into this dis
play of the Yanks the fact that be
trott and st. Louis have been play
ing nearly as WELL and for that rea-
son the spirit of the coa-endinS
teams has not been abated by the
success of the champions.
That Huggins estimated Ruth 8
value to his team better than any
man who has spoken of Babe as
ball player proves itself by the no
1iceable improvement in the playing
of the Yankees when Ruth began
10 strike the pace which he set IN
1921. Those who shouted so viso"-
nusly that the Yankees could VIII
the pennant without Ruth shouted
without profound knowledge of base
ball A lot Of the championship Of
the Yanks last year centered on
Ruth.
