BABE MADE
ODD TRIPLE
HERE
By Babe Ruth

SOMEWHERE In SECLU-
SION. June IA lot of con-
versation in our club house
these days has to do with base
hits. I guess that's natural
enough. When club isn't
getting them, it's nice to talk
about them anyhow.
At any rate there has been a lot
of talk about base hits and one day
the boys got into a long argument
as to the longest home run had
ever hit in a regular season game.
Some of them held out for one hit
over the top of the new stands in
White Sox Park, and I'm willing
to admit that that one was quite a
smack
The longest one ever hit think
however, was in Detroit few sea
sons ago when / got hold Of the
ball just right and smacked it over
the centerfield fence, back of the
flagpole, over the top of a build
ing beyond and into the street.
Some of the newspaper boys
measured 1t afterward and as near
as they could figure that ball
travelled between 450t and AGO feet
on the fly. That's good enough for
me, if never hit another one that.

Freak hits are the. funniest
Though. The frealiest hit ever
got was a triple on a ball that
never went out of the infieId.
Sounds funny doen't it. But it's
true. We were playing in Wash
ington one day and there was a
terrific wind blowing in from right
field l hit under ball and raised
a high fly-the highest l guess
ever hit. Seems as though that tball
never would come down. 1t looked
like it would fall between first and
second and Joe Judge who was
playing first. called for the catch.
The ball went up and when 1t
started to come down the wind took
it. 1t drifted further and further
into the diamond with Joe chasing
it until finally it came down lust
inside the third base line. Joe made
a wild grab for the ball but just
nicked it with his glove bouncing it
almost to the dugout and / reached
third base. Talk about freak triples
there was the freakiest one I ever
saw.

Our people must become more
