But here is where the grandoldope
i Rtith dnnA In Hip tiast In world
tjiS'ention? What has he done to lead
lolt the ball every time he comes to
old records we have unearthed some startling Information Gather closely
mnd prepare for a knockout wallop.
Babo Ruth has played in two world series and his batting average
Was exactly .000. Pretty sad, Isn't It? Furthermore, the noted slugger
Was able to get but one ball out of the Inticld, and that was on October 9,
1916, the third time he batted against Sherrod Smith, and lifted a fly to
Zach Wheat out in left field.
The dope also discloses other interesting dnta. Ituth struck out twice
In that Brooklyn game which went fourteen Inning. Ills batting was
decidedly negligible In 1915 and 1910. when he faced Alexander and Smith,
two artillerists who are now playing the bigger came In France. This is
,hat they did to him:
Iluth Aijnin.it Alexandet fl.i.
Xlnlh Inning Batted for Shoir anil wounded to Ludcius.
Iluth Aoaln.it Smith WW.
Third inning Gtounded to Ciitihatr, Scott scoring.
Fifth inning Struck out.
Eighth Inning riled to Wheat.
Tenth inning Stntck out.
Tivclfth inning Throicn out at rlist by Smith.
Ruth Now Much Improved I'lnyer
HOWEVER, there should be a big diffeience between the Uuth in 1915
and 1916 and the Ruth In the world series of 191S. Babe has been
oaking the ball this ear at n liveh clip and Is In the select .300 class.
He started out like a house afire, slamming home runs, triples and two
baggers with reckless abandon, but of late Babe has toned down a little
and Is satisfied with n few singles.
When Ruth was on his slugging spree he made three homers on suc
cessive days and followed with four In a row He had the Indian sign on
11 opposing pitchers, who got into the habit of handing him four balls
for one base instead of one ball for four ba-cs. Ilir work featured all of
the games and Manager Barrow considered him such a valuable asct that
he was moved to the outtield. where he could play tegiilurlj,
Ruth's greatest batting feat was staged on the Polo (Irounds early In
the season, when he hit three of the longest drives ever seen on those
rounds. The first traveled into the light field bleachers, but Billy Evans,
the umpire, called it a foul.
"Pow far was It off, Bill?" asked Ruth when he teturned to the plate.
"About blx inches," was the repl
"Well, I guess I'll have to soak another," muttered Babe, and sure
nough, the next ball sailed into the bleachers, fair hj fifteen feet.
Dempscy Is Back at His Old Trade
WHEN Jack Dcmpsey signed up to work In the Sun shipbuilding yards
yesterday he returned to his old trade. Four sears ago, when the
young heavyweight was not considered good enough b the maragers to
ippear In the boxing shows out on
5iome employment to keep from sturinc to death He went to work in
.,- the shipyard at Seattle, Wash, ur.d
labored on the shipways. In the blacksmith shop, handled a tiveting ma
chine, was a first-class carpenter and alo repaired ve-sels. He has had
Wide experience and is capable to fill the position in the labor department.
Dempsey now will make his headquarters in Philadelphia and will
be seen In many bouts here this winter. He should be one of the most
popular boxers who ever appeared In this city.
C. J. Drennen, supervisor of labor at the Sun plant, Is the youngest
executive In the country and regarded as one of the top-notchers. He has
been connected with several large concerns and employed thousands of
men. He realizes there is a shortage of labor and believes Dempsey can
get more recruits than any other person.
"Now that baseball Is about over and the players have been ordered
to work or fight, how many big leaguers have applied for Jobs?" Mr.
Drennen was asked.
"Haven't received an application from a single ball player," was the
reply. "We have no soft jobs here and every man in the plant must work
as hard as the other. No favoritism -shown because an applicant is a ball
player. This does not mean that ball players are not welcome at this
plant. I will be glad to emploj every man who comes here, but as soon
as he receives his button he must forget he ever plaved ball He Is wor,k
lng" for the Sun Shipbuilding Company and must earn every cent he re-
celves.M
JACK HENDRICKS, manager of the St. Louis Cards, will step Into a
regular Job when the baseball season ends next Monday. He has enlisted
with Doctor Wharton's force of physical directors and will be stationed
In one of the aviation camps either here or In France. Hendricks Is a
valuable man for this work, as his experience In handling and training
ball players for the last fifteen years will help him considerably. Doctor
Wharton announced today that ho had acted favorably on Hendricks's
application.
Sivarthmore Man Turns Poet
Here Is a poem contributed to the Evening Public Ledger by Harry
Q. Parker, Swarthmore, Pa.:
AT THE BAT
The nrnatest name, the
5-
All creation looking
Was started several years ago
On the playground of the ilarne.
One team was sometimes out ahead.
Then reverses changed the play.
But at(l our players persevered
To win this great affray.
I With changing fortunes, changing mtr.ds,
Delays, doubts and distress.
Emotions kindled year by year
Served all the world to vex.
Till America joined in the game,
Bent in its batters strong,
To help our Allies in the rush
And now in the eighth inning
Sweeter song was never sung, $
We have them on the run.
The Kaiser is the boxman,
Speeding up with curve and swell.
Ills every move a "pitcher"
Sent too often to the ivell.
While Ludendorff is at the plate,
His signals all awry.
For we're hitting 'round .100,
As we shout our battle cry.
At inning nine there's still a tie.
But we'll win the game at that
And" put a kahkler, deeper dent
In the cocky Hun's cocked hat;
For great Pershing's noie on second
And Ty Cobb Foch is at the bat.

WARREN. WEBB MAKES
67 AT NORTH HILLS AND
71 AT OLD YORK ROAD
'
Former Professional Golfer Is Seeking Reinstatement as
Amateur The Golf Goat-Getter and How He
Works His Unsuspecting Victim
By WILLIAM H. EVANS
"ITTAimnN H. VEBD, who, for two
VV yeara, was one of the professionals
In the Indoor golf school at Vr'anama-
ker's,, and who later held professional
Johs at the new PittshurRh Field Club
and at Brae Burn, will shortly seek re
instatement as nn amateur. Webb gave
up his professional work some time ago.
He is a member of the North Hills
Country" Club and naturally he can- give
the members odds and beat them. Re
cently he made a new recprd for the
course of 67. The card was made up
of tn-o twos, four threes, seven fours and
five fives. The card follows:
Out 4 4 3 B 4 3 2 6 232
In 3 4 4 5 3 4 5 4 B 35 67
A day or so later he went to the Old
York Road Country Club and on his sec
ond round he registered a 71, going out
In 38, and coming home with a very" fine
33. He Is one of the most graceful
n'ayers on the links and with ii he com
bines very effective golf. He .has played
little If any competitive golf since ho
came to this country from England four
or five years ago.
Dig Match That May He Played
Cfnc of the big matches that failed c
lie decided at Bala this year was that
between George C. Klauder and Albert
C Alexander, of the Bala Club, and
Fred W. Knight, of Aronlmlnk, and
Frank S. Blcklng, of St. Davids. As a
result of a discussion lasi year at the
Invitation tournament a match wns.
played at Bala and Klauder and Alex
ander wore the winners by 7 up and 5 to
play. This year both Knight and Blck
lng wore In the triple tie for the medal
for the low iprallfylng score, but for
some teason or other the return match
was not played It may be decided later
In the Reason Klauder and Alec know
tho Bala rourf-e Hhe a hook, bui the
other pair have been shooting some very
fine golf and the match. If arranged,
ought to prove a very Interesting one.
One of the youngsters was Hitting un
der the tree at the ninth hole at Bala
during the tournament week, and he
was telling his troubles to an older
and more experienced golfer. "Why Is
It," he asked, "that every time I get
Into a tournament here or elsewhere I
always play against some fellow who,
according to his talk, plays so much
better than I do? The first man I met
started off by telling me that for" three
days before the tournament he had
been p'aylng the course In the low
eighties and not once had he' been
over 85. Yet he qualified with a 04 or
DB. Tne next one told me how he had
beaten s-ome of the crack players of the
city." , '
"Did oti heat them''" asked the older
player "Yes," replied the younger
man, "but they had me rather nervous
for the first, three or four holes.''
Goal-Getting in Golf
"In baseball," said the veteran, "the
coaches do everything to disconcert the
pitcher, and that Is perfectly legitimate.
We do not have any coaching In golf,
but there are other ways of getting the
gnat of the other players. Most of the
golfers do not resort to II For wavs
that are dark and tricks that are vain,
this type of golfer has Btet Harte'

the favorite ways of disconcerting the
other player is to refer to those mys
terious rounds that precede the qualify
ing day, and you will notice every time
that the scores are from eight to fif
teen strokes lower than the one made
In the qualification round. After you let
that sink In he will tell you that at
his home club he has not been over an
Ighty In weeks.
He' Is a Smooth Talker
"At other times he adopts other tac
tics. He will tell you that his driving is
very sad that and that he is going poorly.
The object Is the same. In the first case
he tries to Impress you that he is a much
better golfer than his qualifying score
would indicate, and in the second that he
Is poorer than his score shows. He tries
to destroy your confidence In your play
or to have you assume that he will prove
to be a poor opponent. If you meet this
type of player pay no attention to his
rammings. He Is a golf goat-getter.
"He may tell you that the greens are
frightfully fast and that even the best
players are taking three or four putts
to a green. He may make It a point to
call your attention to out of bounds, to
the wind, a tree that stands near the
center of the fairway j he may refer to
the fact that he is one of the longest
drivers In captivity : he mav sneak of
his deadly putting and in other ways
he may 'attempt to get your nannle He
does it skillfully and In a confidential and
Innocent manner but he has an object
In view. He wants you to have all these
things In your mind aR mental hazards.
Beware of him. Don't listen to him. If
you meet that type of golfer give him a
dn"e of hln own medicine and make It
as bitter as possible.
Don't Listen Io Him
"Some players-do all these things In
nocently without any Intention to affect
your play, but most of them have an
object In view. Play your own game and
don't let them affect your plav with a
lot of talk. Shots are what count, but
unfortunately a lot of this sort of talk is
pilled by men who think It is necessary
and who believe anything short of cheat
ing Is legitimate before the first hole Is
played. If you happen to be drawn
against a player of this- reputatlon.hent
him to it. Walter J. Travis was right
when he said he never beat a well man
and these sick golfers are usually the
fellows who trv to Imprest you with their
superior play before they leave the first
tec."

HAVERFORD DROPS FOOTBALL
Gridiron Sport Eliminated in
Favor of Military Training
Football has been dropped by Haver
ford College. This was decided today
when It was found that the work of the
students' army training course would In
terfere with the popular gridiron sport.
Football will be resumed after the war.
While the Main Line Institution will
not be represented by a varsity eleven,
class teams will be organized and an
attractive schedule arranged. It has
been decided to devote Wednesdays and
Saturdays to the military work and as
these have been. the big .football days
during the last forty yearn, and it Is
Impossible, to have both, football took
the count. ....
Swarthmore College denied the rumor
that football would be dropped. The
Clarnets expect to have a banner season,
as many former scholastic stars of thla
section have enrolled. Among the school
boys expected to 'represent Swarthmore
on the gridiron are Nick Carter rand
Russ White, former versatile athletes of
Northeast, and Johnny Earp, the all
round athlete of Episcopal Academy.
