most likely one seems to be thatsthe
pitchers know more about what Kind
to toss up to the svat king.
For some weeks wise heads Of the
game have besn limiting that there is
some other cause for Babes slump
than his suspension and 1t turns out
that he has q weak spot that the
pitchers have found; it will mean that
he will drop from the place among
hatters that he occupied alone TO one
ainong the good httters Of the game.
1t will not mean that Ruth has lost
his value as q great player, but It
will mean the loss ''of thousands Of

as a drawing card is gone.
Records EeualJed.
In connection with home run hit
ting it might be mentioned that this
year has been productive OF two)grear
achievements by the heavy swatters.
Ken Williams :. equaled a former
record at the beginning of the sea-
son when he smashed out three home
runs in two games. The other day
history was repeated when WALKER,
Miller and Perkins Of the Philadel-
phiA Athletics each walked to the
plate and hit out a home run. This
was the nrst time three home runs
had been hit In s~uccesRton since 1902.

Deprecated Currency in
 Russia Shows Odd Statu.

MOSCOW, March 23.-One of the paradoxes of Russia's depreciated currency is there is mover enough rubles in circulation to accommo- date trade demands. Prices so in- creased in January that a new sup ply of paper money was required and in Chat month the government printed an issue of 16,000, 0,00o,e00,- 900 rubles ia denominations rang ing from 10,000,000 rubles to 100,- 000,000 ruble notes.
 The Minister of Finance has promised the Soviet congress that he will print up to 23,000, 1000. .000,0 ,000 rubles during the present year but said he doubted whether this would be enough.
 Before free trade was permitted last summer the number of rubles in circulation was estimated at 4,000,- 900, 100000.
 The new national bank is making large loans to promote business. cp to January 15 it had loaned 93, $50, 100000 rubles to government factors and cooperative and private concerns.

that could outrun and outright the vessels of the opposing navies.
 Concerning battleships, those of England have larger guns than all those of the United States with the excertion of three, the senator stated, adding:
 "All of Great Britain's 20 capital ht IDS will be able to take their places n the first line, while only If out of the IS allowed the United States will be able to do so. All of Japan's 10 capital ships can take their place in the first line. and out of the 14 Amer ican ships only three are first-class as regards gun power"
 Rating Is Difficult
 Senator Overman inquired whether Senator Reed believed the fourpower treaty worse or better than the navy treaty, to which Reed replied
 ''It is hard to say which is the worse of two bad things, but the United States is in T position to ne gatiate treaties on her own terms and f4llb tOulu HOI1 1C ttlC ptiiNHi hNee'chN ~ agree to them, instead of making the greatest surrender, We are in a DO. sition to say to Great Britain and the other countries which owe Is money that we will make an agree ment on reasonable terms aud that if Great Britain is not willing to accept our terms we wiH proceed to adopt OUT own terms
 Vigorously agsailing the work of the Arms Conference, Senator Reed declared that the coDference went outside cf the purposes for which f was called and took up the question og a quadru.le alliance, which had no necessary connection whateveI with the question of disarmament.
 Senator Reed ridiculed the idea ad vanced by the treaty proponents thai the agreements moan nothing but 6 pledge to meet and confer with n1 binding qualities and with no binding obligations which any nation is bound to observe. He said:
 '~Fhe argument in itself is mani ee8t absrrdity. If we are bound to do rothing, either in honor CT by i'm rdication or by express wor Is. thea we are signing paper which is mere nudity. If all that we agree to dc either morally or legally, by direc ton or by indirecton, is to sit down and talk matters over and no nation is bound to try to reach an agree ment and to carry that agreement into effect. we are doirg the most ab surd hing ever performed by sensible men"
