against that deadly bat of Babe"
/ Ruth seems to lie in the base on balls.
| Since first he started on his home
run hitting rampage, back In 1919,
pitchers without number have served
him every imaginable type OF ball.
Occasionally they make him miss, but
if they throw him enough samples OF
a. certain pitch he lands on it even
tually.
In hitting three homers in the
fourth game of the World Series last
Fall, he batted against three different
types of pitching.
He doesn't confine his bat activities
entirely to hitting home runs. Babe
drives out his share of singles, doubles
and triples and on occasions can lay
down a mighty effective bunt. More
than once have seen him cross w"
a team by shortening his swing and
dumping the ball into an unguarded
spot or by tapping it lightly In front
of the plate or Just inside the foul
lines, frequently beating the throw
to first.
II is this ability to switch his style
at the plate, almost in the twinkling
of an eye, which makes Ruth espe-
cially dangerous. He keeps us always
up on our toes when he comes to bat
and there's more than one sigh of
relief when he has been disposed OF.
Ruth has been fooled on slow ball
at times. just as any slugger OF his
type may be buhaloed, the main ef-
fectiveness of the "ioater" in such q
case being due to the fact that 1t Is
mixed with fast ones. If a batter is
set for fast ball he Is apt to be
thrown off balance by one of those
which comes up to the plate so big
YOU can almost count the stitches on
the ball. But Ruth has faced so many
slow balls during his career as
Home Run Monarch that ] wouldn't
advise any aspiring youngster to
make a practice of serving these to
the Babe" Just when you least ex-
pect him to he Is apt to catch one Of
those ''fioaters" on the end of his
bat and tear few boards off the
fence.
Only 10 OF Barney.
Barney" has been fairly successful
against Ruth, as one can readily
appreciate by looking at the home run
record sof the Yankee Big Bertha
against the Senator sharpshooter.
Ruth has sNatted more than $50
circuit wallops since he began his
cannonading career and only 10 Of
them have been made off Walter
Johnson. On a number OF occasions
the Speed King has sent Babe" away
from the plate hftless.-
johnson was not as successful
against the Yankees last season as
he generally has been in the past. He
faced them FIVE times and they beat
him In four of the games. Ruth hit
him savageIy on three occasions. he
went hitless in one game and he
doubled against Barney" in the
ninth inning of another contest.
Walter closed his seasons work
against the Hugmen on August 30
by hanging a l2-to-6 beating on
the prospective champions, and Ruth 8
two Dagger In the ninth was unpro-
ductive of a win. Barney" had a
barrel of stuff that day, holding the
Tanks to FIVE hits in the first eight
innings and tanning eight men. In
the ninth he let down a bit and the
New Workers. tailed Ave times on
six hits, including Ruth's safe blow.
Johnson had an 11.run lead when
we went into the ninth, so therefore.
could afford TO take things fairly
easy.
