Ruth scoffed at the suggestion
that his injury might SLOW him
down." He reiterated that no
bones were broken and that he
is merely suffering from q blood
tumor, which sounds more
ominous than it is. It's just a
muscular injury that requires,
according to his trainer, Artie
McGovern, "a nouriShing of the
muscles"
The Babe glared at McGovern
when the latter intimated that
he was at least getting. mental
recreation.
Mental recreation, nothing"
retOrted Ruth. "Why / didn't
get to sleep until 3 a. m. the
other night thinking of that
7-tO-7 14-inning game the Yanks
played"
Ruth said that since he has
been laid up he lost six pounds,
which brings his weight down to
900. Every now and then he
talked about his ball club. He
cant see how we can possibly
lose the pennant." The other
clubs are a trifle weaker this
season while the Yanks, in his
opinion, have improved. He
thinks Joe Mccarthy is fine
manager.
Babe is surprised at the col
lapse of the Brooklyn Robins
whom he picked to be right up
there in the National League pen
nant race.

Yes, fans, the old pennant fever
is Surging again. Not only among
you royal rooters who pay The
freight but among those who play
ball as well.
Joe Cronin'S ready wit was
never better emphasized than at a
banquet in the Mayflower Hotel
Tuesday night.
Joe said in part:
"Once upon q time somebody
asked Jack Dempsey to make q
speech. Jack retOrted:
Ladies and gentlemen,
can't make a speech but I'll
fight any man in the house.
Then by way of citing his own
point Joe added:
Ladies and gentleman I
can't make a speech either.
But if anyone in the house will
produce a bat I'll gladly show
you exactly how Lefty Grove
struck me out with the bases
full in the recent Athletic Sc
ries!"
Lloyd Brown finally got a break
yesterday as Washington trimmed
New York in the concluding game
of their get-together. The final
count was 8 to S.

It looked like "good-by Brownie"
in the second frame when the Nc
Carthymen knocked over four
runs. But the Griffmen got to
Wells for q trio in the third and
followed up on Weaver, Weinert
and McEvoy in that sequence as
play progressed.
Yankee power and loose Wash.
ington play put over that second
inning count when Byrd walked
with one away. Larry bounced to
Bluege, and when OSsie over
threw Judge, Byrd scored and
Larry made second.
Wells single, Reese'S double
and a pair of infield outs COM
pleted the stand.
Washington came back with
three when Brown and Myer
singled successfully and H. Rice
walked, filling the paths.
CrOnin'S pass forced Brown
across and Harris doubled over
Myer and HI. Rice.
Washington forged ahead to
stay an inning later when a two
run bombardment slammed Wells
from the box and brought Weaver
to the peak.
Spencer doubled but Brown,
attempting to sacrifice, instead
caused Spencer to be caught at
third. Myer walked and H. Rice
singled Brown home with the tie
ing count and sent Myer to third.
Weaver substituted for Wells
at this juncture and walked
Manush, again loading traffic.
Cronin followed with a long fly
that registered Myer and sent
Washington out in front for good.

SOCK BALL

Gonzaga and Business put on
an eleven inning slugging bee
yesterday which was replete with
thrills, and thanks TO Carl Mills
seeking was chalked up in favor
of the Puppies, 100.
Business started in by piling up
a good margin in the opening
innings. only to see the Eye
Streeters come rushing home in
the final stretches with 4 and 3
run rallies.
The four runs tied the score,
Mills homer with bases loaded &C
counting for the whole business.
Mills drove out a double in the
eleventh round. to retie the score,
and lay the foundation for the
winning tally. Both teams got
10 hits. Grace, Gonzaga third
baseman, got out of 6.
Western was no match for
Alexandria High, once the Vir-
ginians got "hOt." They scored
6 runs in the fifth inning, 5 in
the sixth, and added a couple
more later to win, IA to 5.
Vowel and Keith, both West.

Tech made it all even between
Washington and Alexandria for
the day. however, by handing
Episcopal High a 13-5 drubbing.
Many errors spelled doom for the
Virginians. for they outhit the
Techites, 9-to-8. The winners had
only one error listed against them.
The G. U. Freshmen and East

Babe Ruth's broad and ex-
pressive countenance registered
the ultimate in DISGUST and i'm
patience as he reclined on a set
tee in his elegantly furnished up
town apartment, an electric pad
clamped on his injured left leg,
and bemoaned the fact that he
has to lay around listening to
the radio when he should be out
there on the ball field busting
'em a mile"
The famous patient was alter
nately moody and philosophical
as he discussed his injury. He
puffed away at a cigar. Nearby
was a hickory cane which he
uses when he limps around the
room. Over the radio came the
jazzy tune, Happy Days are
Here Again." and the Babe, in a
low, gutteral voice, exclaimed:
Turn it off" Then, blowing a
ring of smoke upward, he said:
"Oh, we'll, it won't be long
now. I'll be out there on the
ball field in a few days taking
my cut. 1 think I'll be able to
play next Sunday against the
Red SOx."
Mrs. Ruth, a decidedly attrac-
tive young woman with dark
brown eyes and black hair,
lowered near by, ready to admin
lister to the wants Of the invalid.
She was modistly attired in
brown and wore gilt-topped
pumps. She said the Babe is
very restless and his subsequent
actions bore out that statement.
Trophies Galore
The Ruth apartment is replete
with silver trophies that have
been awarded to the noted ball
player at various stages of his
amazing career. On the walls
photographs of Ruth's two kids"
as he expressed it-Julia, aged IA
years, and Dorothy, 10.
"They are great girls" Ruth
smiled, enthusiastically.
He further opined that mar
ried life is good for a ball player.
Mrs. Ruth watches the Babes
diet carefully. She attends all
the ball games in which he plays.
She accompanies him when the
New York Yankees are on tour.
At home he is real family man,
and likes it.
"They thought I'd be out of
the game for a month";" said
Ruth. "My leg was paralyzed
for 36 hours. / thought first
that 1 broke my leg. That
might have meant curtains for
me. But, fortunately, no bones
were broken"
Ruth disclosed that he is any
thing but brittle ball player. He
has suffered a few broken fingers
during his spectacular career, but
outside of that his bones have
withStood the wear and tear of big
league playing in great shape.
How much longer do you
think you can stand the strain
Of big league playing?" Ruth
was asked. -
The Babe didn't seem to care
much for that question. He's one
of those players they will have to
cut the uniform off before he will
quit.

HARRIS WILL
REMAIN IN
LINEUP

BOSTON, April 30-That joey
Kuhel, Washington's expensive
young initial doorman, now per
, forming optionally with Baltimore
likely will get fling at first
base shortly was gathered today
Kuhel, who has been playing
himself into top stride with the
Orioles, is said to be at his peak
at present. Consequently, he will
be recalled In short order and
If the occasion presents itself
given a trial.
Should Capt. Joe Judge main
tain his present pace, of course,
it will be difficult to dislodge
him. His batting and opportune
fielding were easily outstanding
in the New York Yankee series.
A desire to get e. real line on
Kuhel more than anything else
would cause his insertion into the
lineup. Joe was slow rounding
into his best trim this spring and
Manager Walter johnson natu-
rally wants to see what he can
do once he opens up.
BaltimoreanS, it's said, have
gone for Kuhel in a big and con-
structive way. His hard hitting
and spectacular fielding have
won widespread favor in the Mary
land metropolis and the Orioles
undoubtedly will regret parting
with him.
Boosts Extras"
Just when Kuhel will be re-
called is problematical. It's safe
to say, however, that it will be by
Monday at the latest.
This spring, Manager Walter
johnson said:
"We've an improved team be-
cause of our reserve power.
Every one of our extra men
can fit into a regular position.
And do q good job, too"
The Sagacity of Walters re-
marks have been shown in recent
games. When Sam West was
downed by influenza recently,
Harry Rice moved to center field
and played bang-up baseball.
Yesterday. when both West and
Sammy Rice we're incapacitated,
Dave Harris, the smuggling Caro-
linian, was sent to right field. I'm
mediately, he made his presence
felt, crashing timely double, a
single, and walking once.
Also he looked good defnsively.
'Tt'S utility men like those
that win you pennants," Prexy
Clark Griffith enthused, after
the game. "The boys are shap-
ing up wonderfully. I couldn't
ask more Of our pinch strength"
Harris, by the way, is apt to
remain in right field several days.
Manager johnson is favorably
impressed by the manner in which
he met the ball yesterday and
probably will want to see more
Of him.
''West or Sam Rice can stand
the rest" is his way Of putting
It. "And it's a Cinch that
Harris hitting won't hurt US
any"
West today was fit and ready
to get back in the game if called
upon. A slightly sprained ankle
waylaid him yesterday. Sam Rice,
who pulled a muscle in his back,
also will be available when given
the call.
Gets Chance
Young Charles William Fischer
beamed broadly upon a benevolent
world as the Griffmen steamed
into Boston this morning. Why?
Reason enough-Carl is to start
one Of the three games to be
played with the Boston Red Sox
here.
Fischer's terrific speed and i'm
proved control, to say nothing of
. newly acquired curve ball, have
figured in his promotion to a
nine-period slabster.
'"The nearest thing to Bob
Grove I've seen in years." is
Coach Ed Gharrity's way of
phrasing it. "The kid has un.
believable swift and has
learned how to make the most
Of it,"

THE NEXT GENERATION
(From The New York World-T elegra.

(fTOm The New 4Ofk NOTlu-I eSLdH
Speaking of the responsibility of parents and OF society TO-
ward children as the citizens Of tomorrow. Acting Governor
Herbert Lahman said in Brooklyn yesterday:
"More and more. am coming to the conclusion that cor
receive measures. dealing whether with the body or with the
soul. are OF relatively little avail Our hope lies in prevention,
not in cure, and the giving of that education is the responsibility
of every one of us
1t is because of the basic truth in what Mr.. Lehman says
here that we, as a newspaper, have been so keenly interested
lately in the controversial discussions regarding the high per
centage of failures in the first year of the chys high schools.
The building of character goes hand in hand with the build
ing Of confidence in ability to learn and to achieve and to make
a place in the world. Children who are continually failing and
being confronted with failure are more likely to develop infert
critics. They are more inclined to unsocial conduct, whether
criminal or otherwise.
The society Of the next generation would have trouble
enough if it suffered only from the defects which are the in
evHable lot of a human race descended from imperfect ancestors
But an imperfect educational system adds man-made defects to
inherited defects. A child could hardly escape some distortion
and dwarfing Of spirit by being compelled to sit long hours and
days and even years in classes which do not answer his needs
and which bring him at last to Waterloo in his first year in high
school.
Education, at best, is antiquated. But antiquatton has a
double meaning nowadays when the rapid momentum Of the
machine age creates increasingly great vocational problems along
with the educational ones.
To prevent future unftness and misery and to forestaI the
relative futility of correctives, children should be trained in
terms of the future in which they must live. At the very mini
mum they should be trained for living in the present. Under
existing systems they are educated for the past.

All TRAINING SCHOOL
AT GLENDIVE JUNE 8-l2

fFrom County H. d. Agent Hart)
Recreation leaders training
school was held in Glendive the
week of June S-12 for ifty-six
delegates who were in attendance
from all counties bordering on
Dawson. This school was in
charge of Mr.. and Mrs. Jackson
and Mrs. Dexter of the National
Recreation Association and was
carried on without any expense
whatever to Montana Extension
service or Montana people.
In some of his talks Mr.. Jack
son made some interesting state
ments regarding All clubs and
HI club members. He stated that
the All club is the only club which
says "Stay at home; do your work
at home; prove yourself at home"
He expressed the belief that the
youth of rural America would be
safe if they had sufficient All
| club training. He spoke in very
high praise of the young people
of America saying Never has
| America had a cleaner, more
wholesome. more honest group of
young people than they have to-
day"
Rural recreation is intended not
only for All club youngsters but
for adults it is just as applicable;
town as in the country. It is one
way of entertaining without spend.
ing money. Begin to plan now
to attend a similar recreation
training school of one day which
will be held in Wolf Point on Au
gust % under the direction OF
Miss Ella Gardner of the Nationa
Recreation Association. There is
absolutely no fee or cost connect
ed with attendance. Everyone l:
welcome to the days session anC
it is hoped that a large number
will be present. This school will
be held in Wolf Point at the Cour
House for the benefit of Roosevelt
and Valley County residents.
