Babe Ruth Gives New York
 Team Edge Over Pittsburgh

New York. Sept. 30 U-P,-ThA outfleld advantage that the New York Yankees have over the Pitts hurgh Pirates lies principally in Col. , Jacob Rupperts s7o,o00-a-year bar | gain-Bahe Ruth.
 The big slugger. unleashing a powerful batting attack in the late season, will carry into the World Series next week whatever momen- tum attaches itself to the tying or breaking of his eix-year-old home run record
 When Ruth shot his 5Sth and 5ath nome runs into the right field hleachers at the Yaikee Stadium yes terday, thereby equalllne the mark |, that seemed incredible when he set II in 1921, he made hundreds Of dol lars for himself and his teammates and for the National Lea guers to be met in the post-season series.
 For when Ruth is right" the fans cant keep away, and Forbes Field and the Stadium were assured ca paolty crowds by the Babes late September spurt.
 lie has two more games against the pitching talent Of the Washing ton Senator's and if he cracks out No. so Gt's a good bet he will) he will increase the series crowds by thousands.
 Despite his 50 homers. Ruth has been dissatisfied with his batting ex plolts for great part Of the season. Ills latest batting average IS but slightly over the $50 mark, and Ruth considers himself in a stump at that figure. He believes he should be some co points higher and hopes for at least that mark against Pitts bureh.
 In addition to his work on the of fcnse, Ruth has been having one of 1ls best years in the field His arm has cut off a great many runs at the plate and he covers surprising amount of territory
 Paul Waner will be Ruth's rival in right field. if the Pirates win the pennant, as they can by taking only one more game. WanerT 1885 bat tlrg average leads the league, and he is g promising candidate for the most valuable player prize. But even Waner can not hope to match Ruth.
 For one thing a World Series is old stuff to the Yankee player. while Naner is participating in the Oc- tober classic for the first time The l1rate may come through in veteran fashion, but in the so-callod crucial

READY FOR RACES
Drivers in Speed Test Give Every Indication That DePalnla's Record Will Be BrC&< en.

All indications that Ralph De, Palma's track record at Charter Oak park that has withstood the onslaughts of many drivers in the past few years, will be broken to- morrow in the races have been given during the past few days. Several drivers who are entered in the events carded tomorrow after noon attained faster and more furious speed in their tune up trials and it appears as if the record is going to fall.
 DePalma. Wild Bill' Futile, Henry Turgeon. Sam Wohl and q few others went around the track in record time and there will be plenty of excitement when the races are run off. Five events are carded and lovers of automobile races will be treated to some very ken competition.
 Joe Whaples. the New Britain had a few workouts and he shows marked improvement in the han ding of his new machine, the Roof Special. He and his packers expect him to be in the money in more than one race. In the tryouts, the cars were unable to raise any dust so successfully has the dust killing chemical been used. The first event will take place at o'clock.

series with the Giants a short time ago he seemed to be over-anxious and scarcely enrolled himself as a hero for all time. The brightest stars of both teams are in right field and scattered around the rest Of the diamonds outskirts are lesser but still bright luminaries
 Tn Yankees have Earl Cooms in center and Bob Meusel in left. The Pirates have Lloyd Waner and Clyde Barnhart, respectively, in those posi- nons. Combs and Lloyd Waner are the lead-off men for their clubs and both get on with surprising facility. Their batting averages are around the $50 mark, but the Yankee leads in extra bases Centerfield sees the clubs about even.
 Meusel has the better Of Barn hart both in batting and all-around aoiilty. Bob has not been hitting up 10 his usual form but his arm is stlil as good as any in the lea gue. and he can lope All over the field if the spirit moves him. Admittedly. 1t IS difficult 10 tell just when a surge Of ambition will attack Meusel, but when IL does he moves and moves fast.
 The Pirates outfeld offers the most surprising feature Of the 1927 season. Sitting on the Buccaneer bench has been the task assigned to Hazen CuFler-a player with a life time batting average of 34S and record Of 10S stolen bases in three years.
 'Kiki" Cuyler. if he were at his best and could join the lineup with no trace Of the bad feeling that has existed between himself and the management, would bring the Pirates outield strength virtually on par with that of the Yankees. The latter club, because of Ruth's possibilities. would always be DO t'nttally the stronger, but Cuyler and the Naner brothers would bring tears Of thanksgiving to the eyes of many a big league manager were he suddenly to find them on his payroll

The New Britain management went after Joe Manning, former Fordham and Hartford Blues back feld man, during the week but they were just too late. Manning had signed to play with the Pere Mar quette team of Boston for the coming Sunday and he will not be with the team.
 He would like to play in this city with Graham Fordham quarter back. Both men played together on the Fordham team and with Man ming in the backfield. New Britain's offense would be perfect.
 It may be possible 10 secure the Bristol Endee court star for the remainder of the season and if so, the local management is reported to be about to sign him up.
