As PER YEAR REAL
RATE FOR BAMB|N0
First Three Lean Years in
Which Babe Hurled Pull
Mark Down to 81.
nv GEORGE CHADWICK.

BY GEORGE CHADWICK.
n YEW YORK, February 18.-
M Babe Ruth says he has
Y two more years of home
runs in his bulky frame.
If he has, he should retire from
base ball in 1888 with 683 homers
rung up on the cash register. But
maybe he will not retire and pos
sibly he will not maintain his
grand average in 1882 and 1888.
Perhaps he will not be playing In
1888. And perhaps he will be play
ing in 1897.
from the time he began to bat them,
now and then, as one OF the pictures
of the Boston Americans, is s. and
1917 No clear-headed citizen Is go
ing to argue over that fraction very
strongly, and as the Babe has batted
home runs in world series and In exh1-
bition games galore, let us make his
annual average 36 homers and let 1t 60
at that.
Lean Seasons Hurt.
Ruth really gets the short end Of the
figures because his three insignificant
seasons of 1915, 1916 and 1917, when
he was a Boston pitcher, have to be
figured into the whole average. He bat
ted only nine home runs in those years.
That averaged three per season. He
began to hit them better in 1918 and in
1919 he was off to the derby with q
total of 90. His peak year was 1927.
when he clouted the record total Of so
homerS.
If you will take away the three years
of famine. when Ruth passed q great
deal of the time warming up in the bull
pen, Ruth has averaged exactly 43
home runs annually. That Is really
what he deserves.
Give him two averages, therefore.
Three home runs per season for 1915,
1915 and 1917 and 43 home runs per
season for the remainder of his boyish
Life OF course, If the three years are
separated from the remainder of Ruth's
home-rln career his necessary average
for the seasons Of 1882 and 1888 goes
up accordingly. In each of those sea-
sons he must hit 43 home runs. Can
he do it?
Year to Test Batters.
Will there be another Sultan Of Swat
TO succeed him or must base ball give
up its swashbuckling and return to
science? VIII the bludgeon give way
again to the rapier?
Thinking men know that Ruth has
led base ball astray from its trolley
wire. His habit of batting home runs
has injected contempt for pitchers into
the veins of the batters, most of whom
In recent years have attempted to emu
late Ruth's style Of free swinging.
Some of the slugging has begun to
fade. This coming season will be
test year that will determine whether
more of 1t is to cease.

BY WILBUR WOOD.


n YEW YORK, February 18.-
M The boys in the managerial
l Y hangout at Madison Square
Garden were viewing with
alarm, which is about the best
thing they do. This time the sub
ject happened to be the foreign
f1Stic menace.
You see what that German
heavyweight, Adolph Heuser, did
to George Manley in Cleveland?'
Squawked one member of the arm
chair brigade. "Manley is the guy
that beat Make Rosenbloom twice,
and now this German belts him
out In five rounds"
That was the signal for George
Engel, who has been spouting about
the German menace for years, to 60
into his monologue. Engel, who used
to manage Harry Greb, Frank Klaus
and other good German-American
| fighters, always bursts into loud cheer
when one Of the lads from over the
| Rhine crashes through with victory.
Now Comes Mueller.
"You guys can have the Italians and
the Frenchmen and the Polacks and
all the rest Of the foreigners If you'll
let me have the Germans" he cried

work. Five years ago I predicted a
German would hold a championship
within five years, and within three
years Max Schmeling won the heavy
weight title. He is only the first of
many"
As Engel paused for breath a bird In
the corner piped up.
Who brought over Rudi Wagner?"
he said.
That apparently innocent remark hit
Engel in vital spot He was groggy.
Il plead guilty" he moaned. Whats
the use?"
Wagner Was Costly.

by which Els was sacred ground, with

"HE clearest proof that men com
peted for glory rather than gain
in the early Olympic games Is
~ that there is no record Of any
prize having been given for second
place. This was so even though we flnd
hints that through the fickleness OF the
goddess of chance the best man did
not always win.
The origin of the Olympian games is
ehrouded in myths. The story generally
Is that they were founded by Hercules,
but it varies as to the occasion Of the
founding. One version says that Her
cules having conquered Els and slain
its King, AugeaS, instituted the games
In honor of his victory.
Another version relates that Hercu-
les-faving wrestled with the Nemean
lion. destroyed the Lernean hydra and
the Stymphalian birds, captured the
Arcadian stag, the boar OF Erymanthus,
the Cretan bull and the man-eating
mares of DiomedeS, cleanSed the sta
bles of Augeas, seized the girdle OF the
Queen of the Amazons and brought the
oxen Of Geryones from Erythia, the
golden apples from the Garden OF the
Hesperides and Cerberus from Hades-

"Oimen was awarded an abnor-

in fact, that it is laughable when
compared with rating given to other
inferior Jumps" Blegen said.
In the second place, 1t was found
that figures on the score sheets had

third place in the final list, was
rated at 171z points for style, out Of

were changed to 1875.
1T was the consensus among
