I'LL samples of Ruth's superlative
fielding.
One was his seemingly impossible
catch in one of the st. Louis games
when he crashed into the temporary
stands and then followed with an un.
canny throw to the plate that cut off
a run.
II was the outstanding fielding
play of the world series games
waged i'm st. Louis.
His One-handed catch of ter
rifle drive while running at full
speed featured the games at the
Yankee Stadium. The ball was APP
parently past Ruth when he threw
up his hand and stabbed ii.
Babe Ruth is not only a great
batter, but an equally clever fielder
by far the most valuable outfielder
in the American League, all things
considered.

RUTH RANKS FIRST

H1 ECENTLI one of the demon
Tx baseball statisticians took up
III ten features of outfield play,
allowing three points for the first,
two for second and one for third.
Ruth under such a system topped
the American League outfielders
with three firsts, one second and one
third, for total of II points.
OF course his batting featured,
since he made more total bases
than any of the others, likewise
he scored more runs and batted in
more tallies than any of his rivals.
That Ruth is not merely a slug
ger was proved by the fact that he
was second in the American League
batting averages.

over their heads or that Shortridge
was off" The north siders played
a nice game, but were outfought and
outplayed. And that was all there
was to it. Every member of the
Manual team played in bang-up style
heads up basketball-the kind any
one wants to see.
Manual was keyed up to perfect
point and played great contest.
Whatever we said during the past
week about Manuals chances we
apologize for. Any team that can
put up the brand of ball that Man
ual displayed Friday night deserves
all the credit in the world. 1t was
the first time this year the Manual
ties have shown real spirit and fight.
Here's hoping they keep it up.
Yesterday, when referring to the
SeymOur-W game we said
"Br-rr," because it was SeymOur's
thirteenth game. We didn't realize
we could come that close. Washing
ton won, SOL.
Two years ago it was mumps-
now it is scarlet fever. Three of
Valley Mills players are down with
scarlet fever. And just at county
tournament time.
EV1E received a little information
WI Friday night that may prove
T. interesting. Waldron and
Center Grove will meet next Thurs
day night. Center Grove, we under
stand, has a scrappy squad and is
very likely to beat Franklin in the
Franklin sectional. Waldron has a
real team, too, and is being counted
on to give Shelbyville a tussle in the
Shelbyville sectional.
Even though we took a flip on our
head last night we take another
chance and say in a wee voice:
Indiana to beat Chicago. Ohio State to
beat Minnesota.
Martinsville didn't have very much
trouble with Marion and took a
5000 victory from the State champs.
It must have been some satisfaction
to the Artesians. at any rate.
This Wabash Franklin game is
attracting quite a little attention.
We have a good idea that Franklin
will beat Wabash, thus scrambling
up Indiana college dope a little more
if it can be scrambled any more.

at 1S-all. The second half saw both
teams playing a cautious, clever
game. Huntley and M. Apple were
the outstanding players for the
winners.
Beech Grove used a fast passing
attack that baffled Acton and gave
the winners an lie margin at the

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
BALTIMORE. March 23.-~Manu
facturers of fertilizers are again cut
ting prices and the industry faces a
lean year, according to reports here.
Consumption of fertilizer is not in
as large volume as it was at this
time year ago. and, with profits
almost at the disappearing point
leaders of the industry are not opti-
mlstic over the outlook. Manufacture
ers apparently have adopted the slogan
everyone for himself"
The result is prices have been "shot
to pieces it is said. The price war
is not confined to the So-caIled little
fellows. The more important makers
are reported to be doing their fun
share in disorganizing the industry.
