Guthrie Indicates That

BY FRANCIS ]. POWERS.

BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.
)H1CAGO, February 3.-The
sad news soon will be on
~ its way to a couple of
American League umpires.
Twelve blue coats now are on the
leagues reserve list and since only
10 are to be employed for the sea-
son, William Harridge must sever
the ties that bind two of them.
So far he has given no inkling of
the ones to feel the painful oper-
alton, but there are numerous sur
misses.
read that william Guthrie has ap-
piled for a job OF umpiring In the
Pacific Coast League, where he has
worked in the past and, If that Is true,
the Big Bull must be one who is
leaving the majors. That would be too
bad il true, for Guthrie was ope Of the
few modern ump:re3 With even a Shred

GUTHRIE was bit rough in his re-
" partee at times. but he was q
good umpire and seldom had trou-
bic with the players. However, he
might have offended the sensibilities Of
some club owner
The other umpire slated for release
Is said to be an old-timer. ard he Is
not George Moriarty. After "Mory's"
battle with the White Sox in Cleveland
last Summer 1t was thought his days
in the American League we're num-
bered. But George has been iecturing
to high school pupils this Winter under
the auspices of the American League,
and that would not indicate trouble
with his employers.
The release of two veterans from the
American League staff will provide op-
portunity for Louis Kolls and William
Summers, who we're purchased from
the International League last Fall.
These two are IN their 30s and were
rated as f1rst-class judges of play. They
were purchased on trial basis and the
American League must have faith in
their abilities if two veterans are to be
given their release

Ruth's Dramatic Feats Prove
His Versatility as Ball Player

his second Of the game and blow that
knocked Root out Of the box besides
knocking the last, lingering resistance
out of the Cubs.
At the time 1t did not occur to Ruth
that he had, on-hand, named three
events that promptly emphasized his
amazing versatility, drst - great
southpaw pitcher, later as . brilliant
defensive outfielder and, lastly. as the
most destructive batsman In the history
Of the game.
Most of his pitching equipment. the
Babe recalls, consisted OF fast ball, .
faster one and pretty good control. But
for that matter. he asks, what else did
walter johnson have In his prime?
Of Lefty Grove?
"They don't try to do much with .
curve until they feel themselves slip
ping" comments the Babe.
Ruth has hit home runs in every big
league ball park. during the regular
season, or In exhibitions, more than 600
altogether, but he got his biggest thrill
out Of the one he Wal1oped Oh Root
last October, with two strikes ON him,
the crowd and the Cubs riding" him
and the score tied. Much has been
written about the drama Of the situation
and most Of 1t Is true. A. to his personal
account Of the prelude to 1t, the Babe
says: "Oh, We were Just cussin' each
