New York, Nov. 26-The effec- tive bulls-eye scored by the great est of Digest presidential straw votes is more than acknowledged by nationwide chorus of con- gratulations spiced with exclama- tions of astonishment.
 Here we insert tentative sum- mary of the polls score card, figured from the latest election re- turns at this writing-and these percentages are probably final:
 Accuracy in definitely forecast ing the Landslide" election of Rooseyelt--100 per cent.
 Accuracy in forecasting the cleo toral vote at 474 to 57 (the election result was 472 to 59-996. per cent.
 ! Accuracy in forecasting RoOse- yelt's proportion of the popular vote--9S.89 per cent.
 Poll fans do not need to be re- minded that Roosevelt scored 59.SG per cent of the total Hoover Roos lyelt straw votes, not counting the minor candidates. The election figures give him 58.75 per cent or the Hoover Roosevelt. popular vote, So the Digest poll came within III per cent of the result!
 With these achievements to its credit, it is perhaps not surprfzing that the Literary Digest 1882 presi- dential poll should now be shower ed with bouquets and serenaded with the chorus of exclamation mentioned above.
 But the harmony is broken ev- cry now and then by menacing sound which. grows louder with repetition, like the clumptng of the giants in Wagner's "Rheingold' and this jarring note is the myster- ious and baffiing problem of Pennsylvania.
 Why did the Digest poll, so amazingly right in so many par ticulars. miss fire-apparently-in that important state?
 That poser. repeated on all sides, makes the haunting under- tone in the chorus of praise, creating a feeling like that pre- duced by Hamlet's exclamatioM Something Is rotten in the state of Denmark"
 Editorial writers all over the country treat the unique reversal of Pennsylvania as a first class political enigma which should be investigated and explained.
 The Digest has no diagnosis" to make in the case of Pennsylvania, and no corrective to suggest.
 YAH we know is what we. read in the papers," and some of the Philadelphia papers are quite out spoken on the causes which, they say, underlie the. amazing shift from the substantially Rooseveltian Pennsylvania of the Digest poll to the scantily Hooverian Pennsyl- vainia of election day.
 Of course, the Digest takes no side in the Quaker states always interesting political battle-ground. We think that our readers are en- titled to have all khe evidence in the case, but we draw no conclu- sions of our own.
 It is pointed out in the Phila- delphia Record that a local poll by that newspaper, and other news paper polls in the state. agreed with the Digest poll in forecastfng a Roosevelt victory. But 1t is added that all these polls. dealt only with actual figures, and without al-

 NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-It's about the time of the year to start see ing the end of the trail" for old Babe Ruth.
 This particular type of folly has been going on sporadically ever since 1925, the year Babe was fined $5,000 by the late Miller Huggins for getting out of condition.
 The boys have got to be right some time if they keep on pre- dicting-and it's really beginning to look like it won't be very long. Ruth is 38, and talk has been going around about managers S berth for him at Boston next year.
 The Babe has slowed up notice ably and is covering right field on the well-known dime" The other day in the Yankee Stadium two runners scored from first on doubles hit into Ruth's territory, and the Babe himself hauled up after a sprint from first to third on a long hit by Gehrig, though the third base coach waved him home.
 The Babe is gegJlng homers as lustily as in other years-ihed probably do that propped up at the plate-but he is not drawing away from the pack. W se
 Indeed, in mid-July Jimmy F'oxx of the Athletics was leading Ruth by nine homers, and Klein of Phillies, Simmons of the As, Geh- rig, of the Tanks and Averill of the Indians are in shooting dis tance.
 That Ruth himself realizes that the end isn't far off, was revealed in an interview with Mrs. Ruth this spring. She said that the Babe hoped to play a couple of years more. and then after a va

cation become connected with a major league club in non-com- batant role, possibly as manager.
 Ruth is now in his 18th year in the majors, and for the last de- cade he has been forced to labor nightly to keep his bulk down so that it could be supported by a pair of relative pipe-stem legs. Those legs are beginning to get tired
 Moreover, as Mrs. Ruth pointed out, there is no reason other than an inordinate love for the game, why the Babe shouldn't retire at any time he wishes. He is well fixed-investments in insurance and in trust funds have seen to that. When Ruth finally does slam his last one into the stands, whether it's at the end of this sea- son or next, he'll leave a real mark at which the Johnny Come Latelys" can shoot. In mid-July his all-time total for home runs was 637, and this mark alone will give rival sluggers pause. The impregnability of the rec ord is made clear when it is known that at the start of the current campaign 40 or more home runs a season had been hit only 19 times in the history of baseball Ruth had done it 10 of those 19 times.

SPORTS PARADE
OFFERS VARIETY
IN T0DAY'S NEWS
BY HENRY MeLEMoRE

NEW YORK, Nov. l. - The sea-
son on football coaches is wide
open.
This department, through its
amateur scouts scattered over the
country, has been reliably" in
formed that Hunk Anderson is
washed up at Notre Dame: Jack
son Camel has layed out his
string at Dartmouth; Navy Bill
Ingram is sunk at California; Nal
Stevens is done for at Yale; Frank
Cavanaugh is on the way out at
Fordham and Frank Carideo is
soon to be shown the front door at
Missouri.
You will notice that these gen.
tlemen are coaches of teams that
have taken it on the chin this year.
Thus it would seem the boys and
girls are still asking for a winner.
No, asking is too gentle a word;
they're demanding one. The rea-
son for such a demand is not hard
to figure out. It takes a winning
football team to pack the Gus
toners in the stadia at 50. SO and
81 a head. And packing them in
at such prices is the only way the
schools can meet the notes on their
huge athletic plants.
1t is unfortunate for those work
ing for the cause of de-emphasis
in football that the depression ar
rived Just when their efforts were
showing a gain. For the depres-
sion. instead of furthering deem
phaSis, increased the need for
winning teams.
Not so long ago a winning team
was mostly a matter of pride, and
when a winning team did not ma
terialize it was pride, and nothing
much else, that suffered. Today
the lack of a triumphant eleven
hits the pocketbook first, and the
pride second.
And a blow to the exchequer is
twice as painful as punch to the
pride.
If the gentlemen mentioned
above are fired, who will succeed
them is not known. Ever since
Anderson stepped into the impos-
sible task of filling Rockne's seven
league boots, the boys have been
naming his successor. Their gueSses
have ranged from Harry Stuhl-
dreher to Ella Boole.
Names Proposed
The Irish have had as many pro-
posed bosses as the Cincinatti Reds.
Right now Slip Madigan of st.
Mary'S, Jimmy Phelan of Wash
ington, clipper" Smith of Santa
Clara and Jimmy Crowley OF
Michigan State are being men
toned as Anderson's successor.
Madigan and Crowley, along
with Hiker Joy, present assistant
coach at Fordham, have been
mentioned as likely successors to
Cavanaugh. Jack Sutherland,
Pittsburgh's ray of sunshine, has
been touted to go to Yale. but the
Blue authorities denied last night
they had made Sutherland any
sort of offer. Some sideline ex-
perts think Able Booth eventually
will take charge at New Haven.
Jess Hawley, eX-Dartmoutn skip
per, and Myles Lane, now head
man at Boston university, have
been mentioned in connected with
Cannell's job. Nobody has as yet
preached a candidate to follow Car
ideo at Missouri. The more one
reads about that Missouri team
the more one is inclined to believe
that not until they engage Chandu
