Lost All Benefit.

Lost All Benefit.
THE whirl of the races during
the term of his brandish-
ment and other follies can
celed the beneficial results of the
training trip. When Ruth started
in he was not right mentally or
physically and he never did get
right. He felt his failure keenly
and that is why he determined to
make q sharp turn.
. Ruth is only twenty-eight. He
may never equal his 1921 home
run record, but the way he feels
now-his physical and lmental
condition and the knowledge that
he will not be handicapped at the
beginning of another season-he
is firmly convinced he will lead
the American League again.
For that matter-in-and-outer
that he was all season-Ruth
made more home runs per game
than those who surpassed his
years total.

Indians were tied in the ninth, the
Griffs were sure to beat them. That
was when the Washington team was
a fighting aggregation.
A strange lethargy came over the
Griffs last season. Possibly they
lost heart when they found their
hiehly-praised pitchers blowing up
on them. Yes. and some Of those
weak backed pitchers lost their
nerve when they found their hitters
failing them in a pinch. 1t worked
two ways.
