Runaors And Reality Gathered From This Sporting World

At Bat For The Babe

If. d.. W. interesting flecons sports occasionally is presented to you herein las real bone to pick with those sports writers who hay Jared to crtce Babe Ruth in regard to his recent qutn the Boston Braves after argument with Judge Em 7uchs who accuses him of being -baby and severa ther things Only real Babe Ruth fan to whom the kn ,an do no wrong could present his defense so well Brother Walker who says:
 Waterbury, Connecticut,
 June 6, 1885.
 Sports Editor:
 After reading various accounts written by sports commentators regarding the dismal exit of Babe Ruth from the Boston team of the National League have arrived conclusion that the sports writers have not given the greatest ball player the he right fully deserves They to suffer from forgetfuneSS at this time and berate the man who has been tnelr best of copy for many years. They classify him as cry-baby, pampered boy, disturber and so on They claim he corrupts the morale of ball club. During his playing days with the Boston Red Sox that club pennant- winning combination, and we all know of his with the New York Yankees which outfit stayed at the top of the league, within strk ing distance for numerous seasons. Why did he not corrupt the morale of these clubs? It is mentioned he does not get along with his teammates, or his fellow members do not get along with him. Perhaps the players do not appreciate him after bringing the national pastime out of the doldrums when the game was dragged in the muck by scandal Possibly they do not appreciate him for commanding the the largest salary paid to player and by this token indirectly raising the salaries fhe other players Unfortunately the baseball moguls presumably do not appreciate him for being the incentive that brought about the building of stadium and assisting many of the ball clubs to
 Incidentally it should not be overlooked that the green-eyed monster might have had something to do with bringing about some of his unpopuarity among the managers and baseball players. It is obvious that such outstanding figure as Babe Ruth among the other players would them to appear just so corral all the thunder also create very much anmosity by doing regret that great ball player like Babe Ruth should be the subject of much derision at this time of his life when his song baseball player is being sung
