Babe Ruth NOWSpringS
ATriCkHOme-RunCI Club

matter of fact most batsmen SO hold
the bat that the grain will always
be up when 1t comes into contact
with the ball.
Crawford's idea does away entirely
with any weakness in the bat. The
bat is constructed of four sections
of the very best selected wood, SO
that it is uniform throughout. 1t is
known as the "quadrebuilt bat" and
the claim is made that it Is many
times stronger than the one-piece
| affair.
Has Ruth the right to use such a
bat?
Does such a bat conform to the
rules of baseball?
1t may be necessary for Ban John
son, Judge Lands and the other
high powers of baseball to pass on
this question.
The four-piece bat unquestionably
offers an opportunity for trickery. II
such a bat was loaded at the point of
contact with a heavy substance
would 1t cause the ball to travel
farther?
Would a cork center in the bat
make for distance as it has in the
ball?
Constructing the bat of four dis
tinct sections would offer the pos
sibility of pulling something.
Is glue to be regarded as a for
eign substance?
Crawford SEM several of these bats
to Ruth. The Babe is trying them
out and is having unusual uccess
There could be no greater ad for a
bat than the fact that Ruth is using
1t and making plenty of home runs.
In all probability before many
weeks have passed the "~quadrebuilt
bat" will be as widely discussed as
the shine ball." the emery BALI
and other widely known tricks of the
trade.

CLEVELAND, O., July 19.-Babe
Ruth is sure the original cuss.
When the Babe isn't busy making
that will keep Judge Lands and Ban
Johnson interested.
In 1921 Ruth made SO home runs.
The lively ball in use was regarded
as the big reason for the Babes re-
markable feat.
If the Babe should come through
this year with a goodly share Of cir
cult drives, in all probability an in
vestigation of the bat he uses will be
demanded.
On July 2 Ruth started to use a
bat, the like of which has never been
seen in the baseball world. Since
that date Ruth has been on n swat
spree that has greatly increased his
home-run record.
Rule Is of the playing code says
that the bat used in baseball must
be round, not over two and three
fourths inches in diameter at the
thickest part, nor more than ~
inches in length and be entirely of
hard wood.
The bat that Ruth is now using
with such great success is all that
the rule says and then some. In
stead of being turned out of one
piece of wood, the bat is made of
four distinct sections. which are glu-
ed together.
This unusual bat is said to be the
~outgrowth of an idea advanced by
Sam Crawford, in his day one of
the greatest batsmen the game has
ave produced. The bats are now
being turned out at Whittier, Calf,
Crawford being interested in the
company that is making them.
With the ordinary bat there are
always parts of the wood that are
weak because of the grain. AS a

A battle for blood will be the
baseball contest this evening al
Wonderland Park between the 7
NJ. H. A. representative nine and the
Perth Amboy High School Inde-

among the two combatants and the
odds are about even as to the win

Up until last week the high school
team was the favorite to win the
tilt but when Hochheiser and For
gotson were added to the Hebrews
lineup the dope shifted. With these
two men in their lineup the Mcclellan

idence that they will come out on
the long end OF the score when the
hostilities cease. The 7. M. H. A.
squad has been out for practice al

"As you know, the league was

bury, Yardville and Lakewood. 1t
is the opinion of the writer, together
with that of several other players
and fans, that there has been n
is an unnecessary outlay OF money
for ball players in this league.
Under proper management, we be-
lieve that, when towns such as Yard
Vile and Cranbury a support ball

represented.
AS you recall, during the years
before the war, all these towns ex-
cept Trenton were not in u class

have placed them on our schedule.

Since the posting of the above let
ter the greatest enthusiasm has
been created among the lovers or
baseball in Jamsburg toward the or
ganization of a team to attempt to
secure a franchise for the placing
Of a team in the circuit.
Jamesburg has at least five players
who could easily secure a place on
the team: Joseph Timberman, cap

for two years; Thomas Timber

All that is needed is the support
and the committee in charge will at

scented by one of the strongest semi
pro teams in New Jersey and won
over Teams of the calibre of Toms
