or course, IL Ruth's work as a
pitcher could be combined with MS
value as a batter, he might have
the advantage But that wouldn't
be fair to Cobb. Either Ruth must
be considered as a batter or as a
pitcher, as he was not a leader in
both departments at the same time.
Reducing the comparison to one
consideration, 1t will be admitted
that Ruth is more valuable as
batter than q pitcher.
Another point is, that comparing
the two players, az OF 1925, would
be unfair to Cobb. Their work
should be compared when each was

If you ask me: (which player
would you sooner have on your
club?" I would answer: If / were
a manager, I'd rather have Cobb
but il were clubowner I'd rather

primarily interested In winning
ballgames and Cobb in his prime

was one Of his cleverest hitting
stunts.
Joe Bush got into camp last

his time to the young pitchers.

It il a trifle early to speculate on
the possible lineup Of the Browns
on opening day, but as Things snaps sS
up it does not look like there VIII
be any radical changes over the
regular lineup Of last season.
Sisler will be on first, Marty Nc

That experience cured Fohl, VINO
will have nothing more to do with
veterans. The ex.Brown leader will
build the Red Box from the bottom
up, on the theory that the Boston
fans would rather look at ambitious
Corners" than q pack OF FADING
"has beens." He is looking to the
Immediate future rather than the
present.
There are eighteen pitchers with
the Eox this spring. Quinn has
taken them on wherever they have
come up with the recommendation
of some one who knows the game.
They are mostly minus experience
in fast company, and that includes
the faster minor leagues.
John Woods, for instance, is .
particularly intriguing right
handler. He came up from
Charleston late last season and
had . week or SO with the SOx
at the flag end of the 1924
campaign.
Fohl says that he is one of the
few young recent prospects who
has a good curve ball, with speed
sufficient to make a curve STRATEGY
cally effective. He has poise and
power, and evidently, judging by
the way he handles himself, Is In
deed q bright prospect. He is nifty
beyond the average.
There are interesting rockies all
over this Sox squad. Bill RogelI
from Salina, Kan, is quite likely to
have guilt-edge shot at second
base, because Bill Wamby has some
strange knee adlment which is keep
ing him at his Cleveland home.
This puts things straight up to
Rogell.
He can show his wares at second
base and get in a whale Of lot OF
work before Veteran Wannby hits
the Crescent City. 1t is a chance IN
life time for Rogell, and we will
soon know how he takes advantage
of it.
Many a good, sturdy minor league
infielder would give a finger for
this open shot at q big league berth
which is offered Rogell.

CAILLAUX'S PROBLEM

Paris, Oct. IA up - With the
radical party congress at Nice, which
may well decide the fate Of the
present French government, facing
him tomorrow, Finance Minister
Caillaux today turned his attention
from the American debt problem to
the questions Of internal finance that
are growing more acute as the tins
draws near for settlement of the
years obligations.
Although the budget will not
formally be made public until after
the opening of the chamber of
deputies late this month, it is known
that the finance minister will be
called upon at the radical party
meeting TO outline at least the main
bases OF his policy. especially with
regard to the question Of capital
levy. as its financial policy alone
may decide whether the radicals
will permit the Fainleve cabinet 10
continue in power.

that NJ. Caillsux's big reliance win
be upon vigorous slicing OF gov

EUROPEAN PEACE
HANGS IN BALANCE
Guarantees for Frances Allies
e Must Be Obtained

Locarno, Switzerland Oct. IA up
If France can secure suitable
guarantees for her eastern allies it
seems probable that the long sought
for security pact which would make
future wars in Europe impossible
will shortly become effective.
In principle the greater portion of
the pact has been agreed upon, but
there still remains to be ironed out
satisfactorily for Germany and
France the questions of guarantees
for the integrity of Poland and
Czecho Slovakia. There is OPP
timism that formula for this, In
the nature of mutual guarantees
under the league Of nations cove
nant, will be found.
DIR. kempner of the German dele
cation here has proceeded to Berlin,

situation at Locarno to President

her plea that she is unable to con-
tribute economic financial or mill

tons in any move 1t may take

1t seems evident however, that
once Germany Is a member OF the
league she must convince the coun-
Gil Of the league of her impotency In
her effort to secure a revision of the
penalty clauses of the league cove
nant.
Although there seems TO be gen
eral agreement here that the Sc
curity pact is all but formulated.
there is some opinion that France
must decide whether she will risk
the security she has been demanding
by holding out for complete direct
guarantees for Poland or mora In

'OLISH QUESTION
STILL Undecided
ibis Is Big Issue Of European
-syss Security Pact

Locarno, Switzerland, Oct. IA up
That the. Polish problem, particular
ly the question OF the Polish cor
rldor to the sea, still troubles the
I.ocarno security conference was the
impression given today by Austen
Chamberlain. British foreign secre-
tary, who said that he and Sir Cecil
Hurst. English jurist, had placed
their services at the disposal of the
delegates In an endeavor TO reach an
agreement concerning Germany's
eastern frontiers.
Mr.. Chamberlain was optimistic
over the possibility Of bringing Ger
many and Poland together. He em-
phasized that such measure OF
agreement that had already been
reached at the Locarno conference
that no country and no parliament
could dare to assume responsibility
for bringing to naught those things
that had been achieved.

only fashioning peace on paper but
also within the councils Of govern
ment and the hearts Of men, and the
Locarno would appear TO be a real
watershed between peace and war
even more so than the treaty of Ner-
sailles.
Tho British statesmen admitted
that formal solution Of all the points
had not yet been reached, but said
he was convinced they would be
aud that mutual good will, based OH
common interest. would establish
an enduring peace.
1t is understood that difficulties
have arisen over the text Of the Po-
lish-German arbitration treaty be-
cause Poland. Wishing to protect her
corridor to the sea, does not desire
that the treaty shall affect dispute
arising out Of existing treaties,
which, she believes, can only be re-
vised under the provisions OF the
league OF nations covenant.
Moreover, Poland wants the same
guarantees from her ally, France,
for the Polish German treaty as
Great Britain is according TO France
and Germany in connection With the
Rhine security pact.
