Babe Leads Sluggers in
Strike-Outs as Well as
in Home Runs Last Year

n The free swinger in baseball, the man
81 no takes healthy cut, is the type OF
batter who either hits the ball hard or
strikes out. The best possible proof that
could be offered to substantiate such a
statement is the case of Babe Ruth, as
told by the American League batting
averages says Umpire Billy Evans.
During the season of 1921, Babe Ruth
made III hits for an average, OF .3TS. OF
those 1T hits, 40 were for extra bases.
He broke the home run record with 90,
made A two -baggers and 16 triples.
What about strike-outs? Not only did
Ruth lead in the home runs VITA SO, but
he also topped the strike-out list with 81.
When Ruth came to bat, it was usually
two or no count with him. He had little
or no regard for singles. If he could not
hit safely he had no objection to going
out via strike-out.
However. he didn't relish being retired
on strikes. unless permitted to have three
healthy cuts at the ball
II there was one thing that got on his
nerves, it was having some umpire call
him out on a third strike as he stood
fatfooted and watched 1t float by.
Elmer Smith is another batsman who
cuts at ball much like Ruth When
Elmer gets hold of a fast ball. he GER
tainly gives it a long ride. The free
swinger is often crossed up by a change
Of pace, which explains why the slug
ger frequently strikes out
Last season Smith went back to the
bench forty six times for the usual drink
OF water after waving at a third strike
On the other hand battars like iris
Speaker Eddie Collins and Sam Rice.
who wait the pitcher out, seldom swing
at bad balls, and always pick on the
cripple, are mighty hard to strike out.
Speaker went out on strikes a dozen
times last year. Collins Whitfield on
eleven occasions, while Sam Rice was q
victim only ten times

\ SoIly Epstein the popular local ban
tamweight, is in shape again and tit and
ready to take on any bantamweight in the

Race Betting Slumps
Millions in Maryland

BALTIMORE, Feb. ga slump of mil
lions in the betting at the four ,one-mile
race tracks in Maryland during 1921
over the preceding year was noted re-
Gently by track authorities. 1t was esti-
mated that "plungers" on the four tracks
bet $24,500OOO less during 1921 than in
the racing season of 1920.
During the entire 1921 racing season of
ninety three days 1t Is estimated that
$50, 100000 was bet through the pari-
mutuel system. The fall racing season
of 1920 almost equaled this amount, when
$3S,7000O0 was bet ON the horses. The
whole 1920 season, however, saw approx
lmately $64,O00,000 change hands on the
results of races at the four Maryland
tracks.

now the second party in the House Of

Leaders among the Laborites declare
that they will support ell peace meas

duce at an early date bills calling for
