HAS RUTH PASSED
 PEAK OF PLAYING?
Babe Is Moi the Much Feared
 Sluseer Of Other Years
(BY NEA sERNICE)

New York, Sept. S.--Has the great Babe Ruth passed the peak of his game as the super-slugger of all | time?
 American league pitchers and catchcrs are almost unit in the belief that such ia the case.
 No longer Is Ruth considered the most dangerous threat In the game when he steps into tho batter's box. He is now regarded as just the aver ago batter
 During the recent home stay of the New York Yankees dozen op- posing pitchers, most of them veteran American league stars, were interviewed on the status of Ruth as batsman.
 All of them frankly admitted that Ruth was no longer of any concern to them. All said they regarded Bob Meusel as twice as dangerous as Ruth.
 There is no longer that perfect coordination that featured Ruth's batting when he was breaking all swat records" said one star twirler.
 "Ruth has been badly off in his timing of the bali all season. He is missing fast balls through the heart or the plate Gy six inches this year that once would have been suicide 10 throw him.
 Tt Is possible he is having some serious trouble with his eyes. I have heard that rumor. Anyway. there is something wrong with his swing at the plate, It may be due to his early season illness and the major operation that was per- formed"
 Tn the old days when Ruth WAS setting home run records he vas invariably out in front of the ball" was the comment of another promi. nent pitching star.
 This season he is either htttinr me pall late or not at all, He lacks the perfect contact with the ball that distinguished his batting when he was the talk of the game.
 In one contest, in which we had the Yankees badly beaten. con- ductod a little experiment late in the game. It satisfied mo that Ruth is at least 40 per cent less efficient at the plate this year than when at the top of his game.
 First up in the inning. pitched | right in his groove. He swung and missed a fast ball by six inches threw two more in the same place and he fouled them off.
 With the count two strikes and no balls, I tried to make him hit two bad ones. He refused. Then ] came back with another fast one through the groove. He fouled it | off.
 Two more fast ones, right over, were fouled and on the next bitch he struck out. missing another fast one several inches.
 Tn one time at bat thrcw ninc | fast balls seven right in his groove, and the best he made was a foul, Four years ago no pitcher would have dared do such thing"
 Not only do American lea gue pitchers feel that Ruth has passed the peak of his game but they also believe three years will about end ms meteoric career as star unless 'here Is a phenomenal change in his general physical condition,

umpire at any time give considera- ton as to whether or no such in - reference was accidental?
 interference plays are the bane of an umpire's life. Such plays arc often a matter of judgment unless the interference was so plain that there was no doubt about it.
 When an impire might often wish that he could temper common sense with the strict wording of the rule, 1t Is impossible for him to give any consideration to whether or not the interference was accidental.
 The fielder always has the right of way. It is up to the baserunner to avoid him. In some cases contact between fielder and baserunncr may be more the fault of the fielder but the fact cannot be taken into con- sideration. If there is interference, whether intentional or accidetal, the runner must be called out.
 If umpires gave thought to whcth- CT the interference was accidental or intentional, they would constant Iy be. in hot water. The baserunner would have a perfect alibi In that he didn't try to interfere with the field CT, that the happening was purely accidental. Incidentally, when it was apparent to him that he might pull something and get away with 1t on the accidental theory, he would never overlook the opportunity.
 While in certain cases 1t may seem that the penalty on the base runner is rather severe, yet 10 give consideration to the possibility Of the interference being accidental would make the life of the umpire a much tougher one.
 Flew closely to the rule on an in- terference play is the advice I in- variably give and follow.

Larry Mangan has been putting the Paradise Park through it's paces and the results of its work showed itself in yesterdays game. The park boys were we'll drilled and were on their toes every minute. Washington was unable to penetrate the defense of the team to any great extent and, although a three-run rally was staged In the ninth, enough runs were not scored 4o tie or win.
 The Paradise Park team will now enjoy the fruits of the victory. They will be the guests of the Rotary club at a luncheon to be given at the Hotel Burritt and on Oct. 3 will be taken to New York city to watch the game between the Yankees and the Athletics.
 One week Is left in which the ath- ietes who are to try for the prizes which are offered for the winners of the Industrial Track Meet to be held next Saturday at Memorial Park. All entries for the events must be in by Wednesday, septem- Der g. Those wishing to file entry blanks for the events, may do so by applying either at the Herald for the industrial events or at the Y. M. C. A. for the city open events.
 Groups of runners and jumpers and, teams from the factories are out working daily at the south end field and there will be some real competition on the track on Satur- day. Landers. Frary & Clark is to make a big bid for the factory trophy for the most points scored, while the New Britain Machine Co. will back them every step of the way. Other factories are getting Into the swing and by Wednesday over 200 entries are expected for the various events on the program
 Not the least interesting of the events is the tug-of-war event be- tween the coppers and the fire lad dies. This is the first event of this kind In many years and no doubt the rivalry between the two will be intense.

There never was better game of baseball played in the city of New Britain than. that between the Para disc Park and Washington teams at Walnut Hill park yesterday after noon. in which the Paradise boys won out and thereby took the cham pionship Of the Boys Rotary league.
 The game was witnessed by large crowd of spectators and noi- ther side lacked for rooters. or course, there were some of the spec- tators as usual who did nothing but lay 1t on to the umpires all after noon, but the arbiters. Ross and Noonan, turned in a neat game.
 Umpire Ross In the eighth inning rendered a weird decision. Semco was pitching for the Washington team and no one was on base. AL exander was batting and semco made a balk. Immediately Umpire Ross waved Alexander to first base. A careful perusal Of the rules fails to reveal wherein a batter can take his base on halk, and we think that Ross slipped up on this one. The runner stranded on second, so 1t didn't make any difference in the scoring.

Trade Reviews Say
By American Lumberman

AS compared with last year, orders
received by the larger sawmills Of
the country gained 1872 100000 feet
during the first twenty-five weeks of
1925. or 20 per cent, while production
decreased nearly 100000 feet. For
the week ended May 30. 1862 mills
shipped 5 per cent more than they
cut, and had orders for "a per cent
of their production.
Southern pine shipments for the
week declined about 100000 feet,
largely because of mill stock condi-
tions and. orders fell off 5.000,O 900
feet. while production made a gain
of about 10000 feet, the mills OPP
Grating fully in order to keep assert
ments rounded out. The price situa-
ton in southern pine is still very
spotted. but firmness is becoming
more general.
Largely because numbers of fir
mills that have been on a flve-day
schedule have returned to a six-day,
orders for the week ended May so
were 1 per cent below the output.
Shipments totaled 16 per cent more
than was cut. 1t is believed the
squirt in production is in preparation
for the summer shutdown. Orders
from the middle West are in greater
volume and so large amounts have
been booked for shipment to the
Atlantic coast that Vessel rates are
advancing.

L
CHICAGO, June 13.-Grains
dropped sharply in an extremely
wild short session on the Chicago
Board of Trade today. December
corn led with a drop Of 39s cents.
Aggressive buying on the opening
soft spot by strong local houses
rallied wheat. The higher price held
until late in the session. Then week
end profit taking reduced prices. AT
the low point shorts bought, caus-
ing a moderate recovery. There
was noticeable absence Of profess
sional support.
Corn dropped back with wheat at
mid-session after having regained its
early losses. Trade was narrow and
it was difficult to fill orders without
causing violent price changes.
Oats was under the influence of
other grains. Locals sold out long
holdings. There also was liquidat-
ing through commission houses. Pro-
visions were without features and
off a. few points.
Grain futures weakened at the
opening of the Board of Trade today.
Selling in wheat was mostly for
profits because of rains over parts
Of the Central and Southwest. A
continuation Of yesterdays stop loss
orders also was mec.
A better crop outlook following
overnight rains brought selling in
corn. Locals sold long lines.
oats slumped sharply under SINH.
lar influences.
Provisions held steady with hogs
and cables.
