SERIES To GIVE
RUTH CHANCE
He SEEKS
Has Accomplished Everything
Else He Has Set Head
on Doing.

Babe Ruth is one of those rare
athletes who accomplish everything
they set out to do regardless OF
obstacles. Ruth placed many obsta-
cles in his own way during, his
baseball career, but he hurdles these
with just the same persistency
with which he conquered his oppo-
.nents. IN Boston Ruth rose to
great pitching heights.
Then, as batsnaan. he estab-
Iished a hoTne-run record baseball
men believed impossible. After an
Indifferent year during which tickle
fans were quick to predict the fin
isll Of great career. Ruth came
back this year to become the most
valuable alI-around player to his
club in the American League.
Ruth has the faculty OF doing
what he sets out to do. and Amer
lean League fans are hoping that
he becomes imbued with a deter
mination to set the Worlds Series
on fire.

1 nave no fear OF Firpo, such as
some other heavyweights seem to

Why should I fear Firpo?

travel several times farther with
the Argentine battler.
Just where they get this idea
that Firpo is a man-killer is hard
for me to figure out. Let's look at
his record.
It took him eight rounds to nut
away Sailor M9xted, a fourth or
fifth rater. L took him nearly that
long to finish Joe McCann. He hit
Homer Smith with everything he
had for ten full rounds-and Homer
was up and around, bowling at

sibIIIty of Its Becoming, In
Time, a World Language.

Were one to Judge from the fuss
made from time to time, one would
suppose there was real need Of an in.
ternational language. In the golden
age of the English language the great
queen addressed the ambassador at
her court In Latin, and all diplomatic
conversation and correspondence OF
Europe was in Latin. Erasmus, the
great scholar and writer, who visited
the court of Elizabeth's father, Henry
VIII, wrote Latin works that pro
duced an effect comparable to that
produced by the writings Of Voltaire
two centuries later.
Much pains have been expended In
fabricat!ng artificial language, such
rs Esperanto to serve as the medium
Of communication. But such construc-
tons have no chance Of practical adop-
don, nor could they answer as well as
actual language whether dead like
Latin or living like English.
There Is language, however,
which is gradually becoming again Q
living one, and which as world lam
guage would be ideal. The Greek uni
versities and Greek men Of culture,
including Venizelos himself, are en-.
gagged in an attempt to restore classi.
cal purity and perfection to modern
Greek. It is said that the endeav6f
Is by no means vain, and that gradu-
ally the ancient model Is being APP
