REIDER LEADS
PANTHER SCORES

Pittsburg, Oct 13.-While Warren
Heller, Pitts triple threat artist
leads his team in scoring, having
added up five touchdownns in
three games, he has to bow to his
running mate, Captain Paul Reid
err, in average yards per attempt;
in fact he has to bow to five other
ba1l-carrying backs on the Pitt
team.
This is easily explained when
one realizes that Heller is the
spearhead of the Pitt attack, the
man for whom all defensive eyes
are on the watch.
Captain Reider playing in but
one game, carried the ball for a
total of 81 yards for an average of
ia yards per attempt.
Behind eRider, but actually lead
ing the parade because of the
fact that he has taken part in all
the games is Dick Matesic, rugged
third string right halfback. He has
a total of 1853 yarsd in II tries for
an average of 80.
Fullback Izzy Weinstock has car

Dick die some studying not in the Concor- dia curriculum, however, and de- cided he was to be a ball player Cardinals or no Cardinals. 2 He managed to convince Howarc c"Ducky') Holmes, former Nation al League umpire and now presi- dentf and manager of the Dayton clubsof the Central League, that h. was "a. first baseman. Siebert wa. not so sure of the point himself but as long as Ducky" was con. vinced, it meant a contract ano trial.
 Siebert reported as first sackel fofyi the Ducks. It didn't takt Holfnes, the fans or the ground keeper long to discover that Dick could hit, but wasn't such giggle around the bag.
 Holmes liked the boys determin- ation and desire to learn. He left him in position and encouraged him. When he was sold to the Dodgers he was considered the best fielding first sacker in the Central League and averages show ed him batting .345.

Ruth, now an exploded phenome- non. He. was shown up in a way that amazed the fans. McGraw had Ruth's number. His boxmen fooled him with changes of pace. They kept the balls low and were not afraid to pitch to him.
 Ruth went to the plate 21 times. He was passed unintentionally two times, nicked by pitched ball once, made a single, two bagger and a sacrifice, was retired times on infield grounders forced one man at second, fouled out twice, flied out twice and famed three times"
 That wa-5 the first of Ruts1's obituaries.
 The next year he hit 1893 for the season, including q homers.

The rise of Dick Siebert from the Central League to trial with Max Carey's Brooklyn Dodgers is another parallel to the case of the blacksmith who turned to op- era singing when he couldn't make a go of it at the anvil.
 For two years Selpert was a struggling pitcher, or at least he thought he was a pitcher and there's no argument about his struggling. He landed in the nei of the St. Louis Cardinals an. was shipped to Weynesboro in the Blue Ridge League and then Scott dale in the Middle Atlantic. He jumped around between the two clubs and the suspended list ana then got off the books altogether
 The Cardinals decided that Dick wasn't to be a pitcher and when tine Cards gave thumbs down OF a yotrngster, it's not an encourag- ing Sign, fer they hang on as long as the next one.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2l.-As the fat years give way to the lean and success becomes tonic that finally drugs, so did Babe Ruth after his mighty surge of 1921 tumble from home run heights and become tha busted phenomenon" of the Yankees worlds series de- bacle of 1922.
 It was no fault of Ruth's that the Yankees. after winning the American League pennant with the first of Miller Huggins' power plus outfits in 1921, went down { before John McGraw's Giants five games to three in the worlds ser ies.
 Ruth topped his 59 game home run splurge with a gallant series attack, popping the Giants pitch ing in the last of the best-five-o out of-nine series for five hits in 16 times at bat and an average ci .313. The Yanks took the first two games then dwindled down to lose five of the next six.
 In Mild Debut
 It was Ruth's introduction to New York worlds series play, the first of a string of seven that sreaches a new climax in the com ing struggle. In small way he was failure. Manhattans crowds expected something more spectac- ular. But the ordinariness of the Ruth of the 1921 series was mag nificence itself compared to the helpless Babe of 1922.
 The Bambino had fallen into evil ways through the season of 1922. Riding the high wave of popularity and fame. the Bam took Itime out along the way to sam ple the fruits of his conquests.
 Found Much Fun
 He took his fun where he found it, and with more money in his hands than he ever thought ex- isted fun wasn't hard to find. His home run hitting fell off to 35 for the season as Rogers Hornsby took away his leadership with AZ.
