NEW YORK, Aug. THE old
theory that las Ruth goes, so go the
Yankees" no longer holds true.
Manager Joe Mccarthy wishes it
did, for if the Yankees team as a
whole would play up to the stand
ard of Ruth, New York might we'll
be leading the American League
pennant race instead of trailing the
Philadelphia Athletics by fourteen
games.
Ruth, although slowing per-
ceptibly in the field, still is playing
a brand of ball that makes him a
contender for recognition as the
leagues most valuable player. His
heavy hitting, including his thirtieth
homer, featured the Yankees 5 to 3
triumph over Philadelphia Thursday.
He got two hits, scored once and
drove in two runs.
Henry johnson was another Yankee
hero. He entered the game in the ninth
inning after the Athletics had scored two
runs off Gomez and with the bases loaded
and only one out, He retired the side
without another marker.
The Athletics defeat enabled the second
place washington Senator to gain full
game and they capitalized the opportunity
by defeating Boston. is to /. Firpo Mar

Poor relief pitching cost Detroit a to

almost unbelievable percentage of

The highest modern percentage
is .672, turned in by Joe Wood Of

to win, Grove should surpass

Bad breaks knocked the Indians
out of victory in the opening strug-
gle and Walter Miller's good pitch
ing was wasted. He gave up only
five hits and lost. Milwaukee was
handed two runs in the initial chap
ter on two wild throws by Bedore
and in the fifth stanza High mis-
judged Metzler's fly, after two out,
and it went for double, scoring
two markers.
KOenecke Connects
Len Koenecke'S home run over the

round won the second conflict. Nc
Cam was on the paths when Koe-
necke connected at the expense of
southpaw Dinty Gearin. The IN
dams collected twelve hits in this
fracas and the Brewers ten.
The twin bill drew about 1850
fans including representatives of
the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland
Indians. Rogers HornSby, Bruin
manager, was on hand looking at
Art Shires of the Brewers and Len
Koenecke of the Tribe. Rogers was
accompanied by William Veeck,
Cubs president, scout Jack Doyle
and coach Charlie O'Leary. The
last named was pilot of the Hoo
sierS for short time in the way

scout, was in the stands gazing at
the boys and taking notes for
Cleveland.

Tribe park visitors and will open a
four-day stay with a single game
Saturday afternoon.
Some Extra Excitement
There was some added excitement
during Thursdays first game as the
fire department smoke eaters made
a run to the ball park. A blaze dis
turbed the fans back of first base
and the stiff breeze at the time
made conditions unpleasant for the
customers for a short while.
Lieutenant Danny O'Donnell of
Smoke Eater Company No. 80 was
enjoying day off watching the
ball tossers perform when he OBJ
served smoke that didn't come from
a pipe and he went iRto action with
two other flremen customers and
they had the blaze under. control
before the trucks arrived.
Archie Campbell, the pitcher OBJ
tanned in the recent trade with Co.
lumbus, was in uniform Thursday,
but there was no Elmer Voter on
hand. The veteran third sacker
who was landed in the deal was on
the sick list and out of action.

The Cardinals lead is such that
they have only to win tWenty-six out
of their remaining forty-nine games
TO finish with a percentage of .597,
which won the pennant for ST..

Cubs Big Chance
Regardless of what the other con-
tenders do, the Cardinals can clinch
the pennant by winning forty-four
out of their remaining forty-nine
games, even if the Cubs win all their
games.
The Cubs big chance to overhaul
the cards is to win majority of the
remaining five games left between
them. In seventeen games to date
the cards have won ten and the
Cubs seven. If the Cubs can sweep

This Month OF March

March used to be the first month in the year, in
the days when folk calculated the years beginning
from the day when the sun crosses the Equator on
his journey northward. The Vernal Equinox occurs
on the 21st of March, and from then the days are
longer than the nights until the third week in Sep
tember The old Anglo-Saxon name for March was
"Lencten-nonath", or "lengthening month";, because
the days grow longer 50 rapidly.
In some parts Of England and Scotland the last
three days of March are called "the borrowing the
idea being that March has borrowed three days from
April.
All over the world March, as the beginning Of
Spring, has been important month in the religious
crops The dead world comees to life again in March,
and begins it's cycle all over There is sound logic in
the old system of starting the years reckoning with
March, custom which Scotland did not drop until
1899 and which persisted in England until 1852. In
