The Washington times., 1922-07-24

A bitter sense of injustice ranked
in him and grew, until today the
impression is strong that Ruth is
losing out because of the state of
his mind. He has an almost pss.
sionate desire TO hit, so that he
can turn grimiy and say, There,
doggone it!' or words to that ef-
feet.
The result has been that he Is at
the plate swinging venomously at
almost anything that comes sny-
where near him. And he has
failed so sisnally to date that some
Of his old confidence il lacking,
and any big Lacquer will tell you
that confidence counts for more
than anything else at the plate.
Ruth is not through; he is not
slipping. But he Is in a rather
dangerous place. II he manages to
get back in his form and regain
some of the lost confidence pnd
poise that will bring back his in
imitable timing and swinging of the
past he will be all right.
But If he fails in this effort, II
is not beyond a possibility that he
will fall. His own mind is the
obstacle over which he must climb.

not quite seem TO fill the bill. Rather,
there Is the impression that the
