Ruth has laurels enough TO live on

practice of making I. hard for him has
only served to make the Babe bigger
tann ever and a better bsn player
than he ever was.
The Babe changed his style this
season. with the result that he has a
fine chance to lead the American
League in batting. He still tries to
knock homers, but only on the firsi
