TWO TEAMS.
!. TIED FOR
LEAD
BY GARRETT WATERS

0y MARINE \ WAA6
Every series has It's big game.
Tomorrow will be no exception
when the Pullman. and Tile Set
ter mines engage each other on
the Union Station Plaza at AIS
o'clock, in a weekday league
championship encounter.
The two teams are deadlocked
for the lead at present, having
won a pair Of games each. The
PullmanS nosed out the Calvary
brakes, 5 to 4 and the D. c. Re-
pairmen, 13 to 4 for their VIC
tories while the Tile Settlers
routed the Capital fractions. IL
to and nipped the Naval Hos
pital Tossers, 8 to Z for their
successes.
This latter game for the
TiIemen was the one In which
the complicated decision of
Umpire Jimmy Green made
itS presence. Also which de-
cisiOn was upheld BY the
series board Of control, made
mp Of the presidents Of the
six leagues in the series.
There should be all the fire
works wanted in tomorrow'S con.
test. First there will be team
on the field in the Pullmans
which is rated the strongest ever
to represent the Terminal League.
Second, there will be q team pres
ent in the Title Settlers which
has been the surprise OF the
year. and sensation Of this sea-
sons series.
A combination like this and
the fans need not ask for more
for their baseball dish. True, the
Pullmans shape up the much
stronger team on paper. But the
Tile Settlers are q collection Of
ball tossers who fight when the
odds and dope are greatest
against them.
And they play smart baseball
for a set Of youngsters, the old
est Of which is probably Joe
Freschi, hurler, infielder, out
fielder and everything else to the
team.
If only they can get over
their nervousness they'll show
their real worth. The team
was under terrible strain
against Naval Hospital be-
cause It wanted to win 80,
therefore the IL errors COM
mitted.
Eddie Cinotti is a better ball
player than he showed last week.
And so is Licarione, Parella, Ga
rilf and the rest Of 'eIn who
kicked in with miScueS.
Joe FreSchi no doubt will take
the mound again tomorrow when
the jumps call the familiar play
ball" With any kind Of support
he might fool the Pullmans.
And then, on the other hand,
the Pullmans might not be fooled.
Many think that they will not
be. And these many are very
probably right although it still
must be contended that anything
can happen in baseball.
The Pullmans really have q
great. ball club. It's got to be
handed to them. And their IS.
game winning streak does not
hurt their record either.
IL ID the belief that should
the PulImans win, however,
they win not do so In one
sided manner. The Tile Set
terS are too much the fighting
bah club even though they
are not the stronger.
Eddie Colliflower or Babe Clap
per will do the hurting for the
Terminal boys. Clapper, knocked
out of the box against the Cal
very brakes, came back strong
90 hurl q commendable game
against the RepairTnen last Fri
day,
Wednesday the Calvary brakes
and D. c. Repairmen meet in
the third game for both teams in
the series, Thursday the winner
Of that contest plays the Tile
settlers. while Friday the Pull
mans engage the winner OF the
Thursday survivor.

BABE SWINGS
42-OUNCE
CLUB
By BABE RUTH

got letter the other day from
Q fellow who apparently had been
doing lot Of arguing about base.
bali bats. / hope it was only Q
friendly argument, because if he
had any money bet on what he
wrote me it won't be his very long.
He seemed to think that ] always
use bat weighing Sd ounces, and
that some major league players
use bats that weigh only half as
l. uch.
He's wrong twice on these fig
ureS. I know where he got the
idea Of 81. because used to swing
bat Of that weight and lot was
written about 1t. The heavy bat,
some said, was responsible for 50
many home runs. / used to think
that myself. But I know now that
you don't need so much weight,
and have not used any such club
IN coupl of years.
The bat I have been using all
this year weighs AZ ounces, and I
have made enough home runs to
satisfy me that this is heavy
enough for me. Lou Gehrig uses
bat that weighs SO ounces. I
don't know If any players in our
league use anything heavier than
% since Ken Williams left. The
one he always liked to swing must
have been close to Is. Maybe q
player here and there has one
heavier than mine. But I doubt
1t. The real heavy ones have gone
out Of style.
This fan who wrote me
seemed to think that good
many players use bats that
weigh around ~ ounces. l.
don't know of o player who
would think Of going to the
plate with one so light. A
fast-ball pitcher would almost
break II in his hands IL the
batter met q speed bali with
. club like that. Even II
the bat did not break, there
wouldn't be enough drive in
1t to carry, . ball very far.
guess the lightest bat in our
league right now is the one that
Dick Porter, of the Cleveland
club, uses, That weighs only 80
ounces. Nobody on our club can
figure how he ever gets q hit,
but he gets quite a few.
Knock the toothpick out of his
hands" they were yelling to
Henry johnson from our bench
the last time he pitched to Por.
ter. johnson has a lot of speed.
And what do you think happened?
Porter caught an outside ball on
the end of that 32-ounce bat and
hit it to deep left field at the
Yankee stadium. It rolled beyond
the cinder track and Dick got n
clean home run that won q IL
inning ball game from us.
But you won't see many hits
like that with so light a stick.
In fact, I don't think you'll see
another bat that light in the big
leagues. I'm not sure about the
National, but it is the lightest
IN our league, I am certain.
Most bali players use bats
weighing from SO to 80
ounces. Some start the Sea-
son with . bat that weighs
20 ounces, and ~ the season
goes on, the club seems to
get too heavy. Then they
cut down. joey SeweIl, OF
the Indians, is little fellow,
but he always uses q 4O.Ounce
club In the spring. He told
me the last time saw him
that he was down to 36. and
some days that felt too
heavy. But he win not 60
below SO.
Eddie Collins used as light Q
bat as any player I know who
ranked year after year with the
greatest hitters. I'll bet his fav-
orite club didn't weigh more than
81 or 35 ounces. I don't need to
tell you how well he could swing
it.

One, of the most interesting letters
that has come to my desk for quite
a long time came in this morning.
One of my readers tells me an in
teresting little story that 1 want to
pass on to you.
At one time she was one Of the
prettieSt girls in her neighborhood.
She had beauX a-plenty. She had a
lot of friends and finally she got mar
ried.
Right tn n she forgot all about the
things that had been most important
before. She had a home of her own,
she got busy taking care OF it and part
of the time she worked away from
home. Her days were busy, there was
no question about that. Weeks went
by. then months and after while
years. Then she suddenly found that
her husband was forgetting her en-
tirely It first she was broken heaert-
ed She cried and refused to go out
anywhere Everything was wreck.
The life she had been living so con-
tehtedly was something that was
gone.
This is what she tells me in her
letter but there is something more.
Suddenly she woke up to the fact that
possibly the blame was not all her

and right there decided that she was
not out of the game after all. She

she had lost that attractiveness. She

"In one room there was a great
still going fun blast, and row of
barrels containing alcohol" jackson
explained. There were jars of
chemical coloring and essences of
various liquors used to give flavor
and taste. There was bottle Of oil
enough labels and corks to stock

Many and varied have been the
hiding places that have come under
the suspicious eye OF Joe Jackson.
No one, for example, would wonder
at man filling his gasoline tank III
his machine. Too ordinary, Perhaps!
I'VE caught fellow that thought
he had played it safe by having a
two compartment tank" jackson
laughed. "Cne side was for gas and
the other for bootlegging When he
poured the latter in from q can. no
one thought it anything but gas.
However, the fellow used to make
frequent trips to another city, and
that aroused the curiosity Of neigh
borS. Then some of the neighbors
smelled his gas and it didn't smell
like the proper kind. Well, we got
la tip, and soon we had the man."
Among other unique hiding places
Jackson tells of a colored ianitor
who should have the prize.

been placed in q fire house of a

unscrewing the nozzle Of the hose it
was an easy matter to slip the con-
tainer in the hose. Just what would
have happened if the water pressure
had been turned on is matter that
caused me to wonder and the owner
too. Guess there would have been a
spray of real fire water"

Eight In Row for Cubs.
The Chicago Cubs got along very well
without two former BoStonians, Hornsby
and Bell, as they wound up their series
against the Braves with 10-to-7 VIC
tory. It was the eighth in succession for
the National League champions. Hack
Wilson's seventeenth home run was the
best of Chicago's eleven hits.
Philadelphia had homer No. IA from
the bat of Chuck Klein to aid in 10
to-4 triumph over the slumping ST.
Louis Cardinals. Earl Collard, young
right-hander, gave the Cards only two
hits before the first two men had been
retired in the ninth inning, scoring his
fourth successive victory.
The st. Louis representative of the
American League, the Browns, had bet
ter luck with a ntnth-inning rally. Go
ing into the ninth four runs behind the
Philadelphia Athletics, they put on an
uprising that called Jack Quinn into
action as relief pitcher for the third sue
cessive day, scored five runs and won
the game, 6 to 5.
Cleveland, starting with nine runs In
the first inning, scored early and late to
beat the humble Boston Red SoX, II to
7. The Indians made rs hits, one OF
more for every player, and drove Milton
CASTOR from the mound with six blows
before the first man was put out.
The one-sided triumph left the In
dams only three games behind Wash
