1t must be remembered that there

saying that the Yankees were not

a doubt. but this didn't help Ruth any.
Reading the newspapers and get

full strength, following most serious
illness. He now is paying the price.

Remains Menace to Pitchers.
Some fans may see the passing of
the greatest hitter in the history of
the game in Ruth's present slump.
But 1t Is not the part Of Wisdom to
sing the Babes swan song. You can't
take his batting eye away from him,
and as long as he has that he always
will be a menace when he faces even
the greatest of pitchers.
His legs and arms have been weak
after his long spell In the hospital.
and 1t is only natural that he should
show signs of slowing up. Only his
great heart has kept him in the game.
Few ball players would have been in
the lineup under the same conditions.
II the Babe gets the proper amount
of rest, he will be in there again
knocking the ball over the fence. He
has been a mighty sick man since he
got back in the game, and we'll do 1
know it,
H. Babe Not Yet Through.
But he isn't through by a long
shot. They say you can't keep a good
man down and Ruth still is about the
best there is in base ball. His spirit
is willing enough. his batting eye Is
good as ever, but the flesh Is too weak
to carry him along. He is due to fool

have become so numerous and the
discussion has grown so widespread
that 1 am of the opinion that some
thing should be done to standardize
the ball.
Ball Livelier Than Ever.
There is no question about the bail
being tvelier than ever this season.
Whether this is due to IL manufac-
turing process or to the use of Aus
tralian wool does not alter the facts
in the case. Players are constantly
being injured by this ball being hit
so fast. On our club both Scott and
Nehf were injured last week. for in
stance. Other teams have suffered
from SUCH accidents.
All of the big innings which have
astonished base ball people this year
are largely due to this lively ball.
Another indication is the enormous
increase in the number of balls used
in a game. We often use as MANY
as four dozen. Nearly every ball that
is fouled goes into the stands. Dozens
of them are kept by the fans. In
former days not half of those balls
would bound into the stands. That
in itself is pretty clear proof of the
increased liveliness of the ball.
Should BE Standardized.
There should be a stop somewhere.
If the ball Is to remain lively il
should be standardized, so that play
ers will know what to expect. The
ball should be the same all the time
Regardless of the process or the ma
terial used the manufacturers could
f9 a standard of residence in the ball
and see that all balls meet the test
That. I am sure, could sbe done. II
would certainly make the game more
satisfactory
The most serious fault of this un-
| usually lively ball is the increasing
injury to players. The increasing
| cost in the use of so many balls is
| commercial, but it is worthy of con
sideration.
The steady pitching of veterans is
| a noteworthy thing in base ball right
now. 1t is reflected in the standing
of the clubs. When we ended the
Western trip Rixey. Meadows and
Scott each had won 10 games. Rixey
had just won Z straight. That pitch
ing will explain a lot of things that
some fans may have overlooked.

The Giants have had a trying time
in the West, but when the condition
of the club Is considered. the num-
erous accidents and the constantly
shifting lineup, I feel that we came
out of it pretty well. If we consider
the three-game series at Brooklyn.
which started us off, we won 10
games and lost 10. A crippled team
that can hold its own is not in such
a bad way. In the face of all the
troubles the Giants held their lead.
With Frisch. Lindstrom, Groh and
others back in the game we should
do we'll from now on. 1t is a heavy
handicap on a ball club to, have men
like that out for a month. The re
suit is a tribute to our secondary or
reserve strength.
InvssiOns Again Are Due.
Within a few days the Western and
Eastern clubs in both leagues begin
a third intersectional campaign, anu
think all the clubs are better set
for it.
While the Eastern clubs of the Ma
tional League got the worst of ii
on the recent trip. a summary OF
their work shows that they did just
about as well in the West as the
Western clubs did In the East.
The Braves were badly handicapped
by the loss of Bancroft, who suffered
a broken thumb. The Phillies, whose
record was disappointing to the
home fans, after all, balanced them
selves pretty evenly. They had beer
made their road record appear worse
than 1t really was.
We found all the Western clubs
much stronger, especially the Pirates
and the Reds. With a little more
hitting the Reds would cause a whole
lot of trouble. Pittsburgh appears
to have everything-good pitching
heavy hitting and speed. The Cub:
have had erratic pitching and then
infield has been erratic. The Cardi
nails have shown great all-around i'm
provement and have developed a rea
fighting spirit.
Interest in West Is High.
The interest in the West is growing
every day. In fact, we have just
