that had slowed up his fielding and
handicapped his batting.
Ruth started on the road to pros
pcrity in the very first game of the
season, hitting a mighty drive into
the rightfield bleachers at the Yam
kee Stadium before close to 10000
fans.
Ruth kept up the good work
throughout the season, tended strict
ly to business. He was unanimously
selected as the most valuable player
in the American League In base
ball circles the saying is, CAS-. Ruth
goes, so goes the Yanks." Ruth
had the greatest year of his career.
The Yanks won the American Lea
que pennant in breeze.
Random Was Kind
What would Ruth do in the world
series? Would he continue his great
work or again fall? For the first
time, Ruth was his real self in the
big event He went big and the Yam
KEGS won.
The fans were with Ruth, they
admired him for his comeback
against great odds. In other series
when he struck out the fans razzed
him; this year he was cheered to
! the echo no matter what he did.
On one occasion, after striking
out, he got a reception that compar-
ed favorably with the applause that
greeted one of his homers. Hank
Gowdy, who was catching for the
Giants, turned to me and remarked
'He must be a great nan. When
he hits home run the fans cheer
when he strikes out, more cheering
The case of Ruth proves there is
some sentiment in fandom. They
wanted to show the big fellow they
were with him.

STRONG FOR
ICE RINK IDEA
FOR BISMARCK
Fred c. Hanson Believes That
Project Can be Financed
Without Trouble

Fred c. Hanson is enthusiastic
over suggestions that program OF
winter sports be inaugurated in BIS
marck.
He believes that if number OF
enthusiasts viii volunteer their SER
vices that the thing can be put over
without any difficulty. The base
ball park, he said, offers an ideal
place for an artificial skating rink.
A pipe line can be run to 1t ana
the park flooded, a skating RINK
where hockey can be played and per-
haps curling rink may be provided.
J. J. Macleod, in charge OF boys
work in the city is an expert in Ice
sports and could aid greatly in it,
development, he says.
A warming house could be provld-
ed easily and caretaker, who would
have privileges of running re-
freshment stand, obtained.
Mr. Hanson suggested that season
tickets at So to SIS piece might be
sold, and expressed belief that 500
such tickets could be sold without
anv trouble. He has already broach-
cd the subject to many local men and
has found than, with but one excep-
ton. enthusiastic.

Ruth's Comeback
4 Great Victory
Famous Slugger, Who Was
Slipping, Has Best Year
of Career
BY Billy Evans

They never come back, has long
been sport adage. 1t might be <Jre
truthful to say they seldom come
back. 1t seems there are exceptions
to every rule.
81 Babe Ruth is striking example
! of star ball player who staked
comeback in every sense of the word.
1T might be argued that Babe never
went away.
A year ago at this time the popu-
larity of the great slugger was at
low ebb. Horhsby of the st. Louis
Cardinals and Williams of the St.
Louis Browns both had made more
home runs than Ruth. Hornsby with
AZ and Williams with 80, had quite
an edge on Ruth, who finished with
only 35. True, Ruth had been kept
out of the game for eight weeks be-
cause of the decree of Judge Lands,
Ruth having violated the barnstcrm-
ing rules. That was big handicap.
Then, for the second tiMe in a
world series, Ruth had failed to do
TIE things predicted. The pitchers
= on the staff of the New York Giants
Had simply toyed with the great
slugger in both events. The great
Hnth, the idol of thousands of fans,
had been q 'bust" Tickle fandom
was prepared to confer on him many
wreaths of razzberries.
Was On Dividing Line
Ruth realized that he was on the
dividing line, either he must come
back or, like many other stars, slip
back into obscurity. Ruth told the
world that he WAS going to come
hack, and do itwith vengeance.
The big fellow spent most Of the
winter on q newly puSchased farm
Fiji Massachusetts. He was the first
"a report for spring training. When
the American League season opened.
Ruth was in peri physical condi-
Itfon. Careful trainii had taken of
81 pounds Of - luous weight
