Prize fight champions are great
sportsmen. One and all would ten
times rather take chance than give
one.
The difference between Babe Ruth
and Cy Williams of the Phillies is
the difference between the pioneer
who does thing first and the man
who merely does the same thing
again. Counting one homer in the
world series of 1921 and some casual
clouts in the off-day exhibition
games throughout the season, Babe
Ruth made about 20 in his greatest
season. His official league total was
50. Williams is now joyously jug
gernauting around and around the
National league, many days and
many homers ahead of Ruth's classic
schedule.
If some of the gifted ankles
should shove 100 yards to the rear in

FRENCH ARE RELIEVED.
Speeches Did Not Contain as Much
Fire as They Expected.

Paris, Aug. 3.-The Paris newspa,
pprs find that the speeches of Prime
Minister Baldwin and Foreign Secre
tary Curzon in Parliament yesterday
are more favorable than had been ex.
pectcd and the press comments show
almost relief.
Figaro asserts that the statements
substantially represent progress over
the last public declaration of the
prime minister. in that he no longer
contests the legality of the Ruhr oc-
cupation.
All commentators find that tn,
salient character of the British dec
laration is indecision. Ia Journal says
it is an admission Of impotence and
Echo de Paris asserts that it is M
attemnt to mediate between France
and Germany.
The official impression of Mr.. Bald
wins statement is that it shows there
is TO be no immediate danger of tn,
collapse of the entente and that Tho
British position leaves the door OpeT

biliousness, constipation and indiges-

tablet is a practically perfect rem

their discovery the manufacturers
