About Those Walks.


II ABE RUTH and Fred Lieb,
X the former known as the
~ Bambino of Bust and the
latter the respected and able
leader of the baseball Writers
Association Of America, Of which
we are a meek and lowly member,
seem all het up over the evident
fact that Babe Ruth's home runs
are becoming fewer and far be-
tween largely because opposing
pitchers hand the Yankee ,slugger
rather more free passes than the
New York public would like.
Baseball is not going to the
dogs just on that account, though
it may be true that Ruth Is los
ing much of the glamor surround
ing king of sluggers. The game,
and Ruth himself, for that mat
ter, will continue.
We have seen Ruth on thirteen
different occasions this season,

Smoked out of his habitual calm
by this disconcerting prospect, Jim
johnson, mayor OF Shelby, pro.
ceeded to bestir himself vocaiiy ana
telephonically, with the following
result. as announced by himself.

would leave, il promises can be
underwritten at 100 pennies on the
dollar, the sum of $1S,5O0 to be
raised by the fevered promoters
before another sun sinks low over
the purpling sagebrush OF the West.
However, nothing 50 crude IS
the cIink Of one round dollar
against another was heard during
the conference, attended Dy
Messrs. Stanton, Kearns, johnson
and 10y j. MOllumby, that Odd
collection Of sounds from this
locality, and the gentlemen Of
the press.
II was not q particularly hearten-
ing session for Kearns, but he ac-
cepted the situation and the conf
promise with all due grace, It was
either a case of accept converse
ton or retire from the bout alto
gether.
The proposition. as stated, was
outlined. only after several others
had been preached and rejected,
the first by Kearns and the second
by Stanton. The latter absolutely
declined to tie up his $4,000. unless
he was given positive assurance
that the rest Of the money would
be produced pronto.
Kearns was then asked to take
the $50, 900 and patiently await the
remainder from the sale OF tickets.
Jack merely smiled very weary
smile and looked out the window.
Meantime, johnson was placed
on the grill, and under direct ex.
animation admitted that not more
than $125,OOO In cash had been
taken in to date, although some
$55O,OOO I'm tickets were out I'M
der more or less Of . guarantee
that they would be accepted and
paid for.
At the same time the erstwhile
genial mayor of the boom town was
constrained to admit that q chatter
mortgage had been pledged by
lumber company and judgment At
any time might be levied. thus
preventing Kearns from realizing
anything from the sale Of tickets
in the immediate future.
It was then determined that
Kearns would have to be paid today
or the fight abandoned, growing
out Of the general belief that fall
ure to meet all obligations at this
time would cause the public to re-
main away from the fight in
droves.
At last reports wild-eyed pro-
moters were rushing up and down

miles away was proceeding sereneiy

The Point of View.

IF it is your point of view that
Ruth must make home runs,
attracting the multitude as to
a tent enclosing some strange
freak Of nature, then, of course, it
is all wrong to pass him in the
pinches, even little pinches.
If it is your point of view that
the Yankees simply must win the
pennant for the good Of the
league, then, of course, it is
wrong for the opposing pitchers
to pass him in the tight places
If it is your point Of view that
baseball is suffering from a
serious blight because Ruth now
gets passes instead of homers,
and that the Yankees may not
attract SO many cash customers
to the parks on that account,
thus Gripping the American
League, well, that's your point
of view.
1t all depends on the point of
view. For instance, ours is that
it would be fine thing for the
American League to have, say,
the Mackmen win the 1923 ban
ner.
We foolishly believe that the
one sidedness Of the league is a
bad thing, that it would be bet
ter to have eight clubs in the
hunt instead Of two or three.
In some strange way we think
Ruth a much better ball player
today than he was in 1920.
But, We'll admit, it's all in the
point of view.

both here and in New York. We
believe that Ruth is a better
player today than he was when
killing the ball in 1921.
But there may be some truth
in the statement that his attrac-
ton as f1ome-run hitter may be
vanishing before the flood Of free
tickets. From our own observa-
ton, we would say that many
New Workers in the past have
gone to the Polo Grounds merely
to see Ruth hit home runs. That
has been the sole subject of their
chatter in the subway, on the L,
or even in hired or private motor
cars within our hearing.

DOL. ERNEST p. BICKNELL, Col.
" r. E. Olds and w. G. Pearce, Amer
lean delegates to the International
Red Cross conference in Geneva, got
as far as Paris and then refused to
proceed because of a statement in a
Swiss committee report that was con-
sidered offensive to the United States.
This read:
THE international Red Cross COM
mittee does not believe that in the do
main of Red Cross work supremacy of
influence must belong to those who
are most powerful financially. Money,
which permits creation of function
aries, is certainly useful, but it must
not give them the impression that they
are the masters of an institution such
as the international Red Cross"
This was taken as a direct slam at
America because of the founding of
the League of Red Cross Societies by
the late II. p. Dawson of ]. P. Nor
gan & Co. and the fact that American
money made up 70 per e n of the
funds needed for that organizations

Cross, cabled John Barton Payne,

that there was no intention of
hurting American feelings and urging
