BABE RUTH MAKES A BIG HIT WHEN
HE TAKES JOKE AND BROWN DERBY;
THEN ATHLETICS LOSE BALL GAME
Uy KOHKIIT V. MAXWfSLl
THE time has come to speak a fo' words about l'abe
Hutli. The $l"i7.r00 slugger has been among us for
two days aud hnsu't lilt the size of his lint. He lias bceu
.trjlng hard nil of the time, bin all he could (If. was muff
"i lly, make u couple of bits ami strike out four times.
tie lias been hnuch-d the old razz at every opportunity.
.but apparently the biff boy thinks nothing of it.
Yesterday Ituth made a big hit with the crowd at
Shlbtj Park. Finuk Muekin dusted off an old brown derbj
sjrhlch bus. beru hanging around the shoo for at Wat
twenty j ear aud sent it out to the slugger, in apprecia
tion of his good work for the A's on Wednesday. It was
presented at tne home plate, in full view of cvcr.vbod.v,
and. take it from us, it was n great joke. llube wan given
the merry giggle, but he took it like a regular guy. lie
was not at all peeved, but girded with the others, put
ou the hat and posed for a picture, lie could see the joke
the same as the hutment b.vstuudcrs.
I'ersoiiall . Ituth is n tine fellow. However.' be litis
bc.cn advertised so extensively this winter and so much
has been written about his prowess as n home-run .slugger
tliat the fans iiaturall. expect him to knock the bull out
of the lot every time he appears Ht the plate. A single
or a tjouble does not catUfj the mob. They want to see
long hits, otid no substitutes will be to'eiated. When he
strikes out the crowd goes wild and liube becomes the
target of jibe and Jeers. That roasting and panning will
affect the woik of an) ordinary player, but Ituth is ued
to it. lie took lots of it In his spiing training work.
There Is a renon for this cicesshc razzing. The
home fans gaze upon Kuth with fear and trembliug every
time he nppenrs at the plate, Mviuslng lii.s long bat. They
know what he can do and are hop'.ng he won't do it.
Ituth is a man who can turn the ti.'e of a ba!I game with
one wallop. If the M-ore is 1 to 0 against bis team aud
nobody on base, he can kuoek the ball oer the fence mid
tie-the count. If men are lingering on the sacks he ian
dellter a wallop which will put the conflict on ice-.
That's the dope ou Ituth. and the fans know it hrtter than
any oue else. Therefore, when he fails to come through
there is a sigh of relief and the Uuth Itawbborry Hooters
burst out in full bloom.
VOf ran' I blame the fans for riding the mighty
liithr. It in all in the game. Thru are p.iliinp
for the home trnni, and if they ean help the good
cause along icith a few lee'.l'directed tAcerj they are
doing their Int. But it must he remembered the
season is young and Ituth is not yet in hatting form.
He has the goods and will deliver. He can't help
but come through. Hut he has a lough and rocky
road ahead just as ujugh as ri4ina in young !
, pert's cur on Lehigh actnuc, and that's pretty
rough.
Dizzy Pace Too Much for the A's
THE A's dropped the game eterday und now are ."0-."0
on the season. They tried hard to finish first, and
accomplished that ery thing. They finished in the sev
enth Inning when the Yanks started their final drive.
Up to that time the home folks were leading by one run.
Jtollie Naylor was pitching superbly, but in the sleuth
the pace was too severe and he grew dizzy. So did Ins
playmates The result was a cluster of bingles meaning
thre- a base on balls and two runs.
Those two were enough to cash in on. but they weren't
enough No one can say the Yanks are not ambitions
They started socking again in the ninth, and two more
hlta, interspersed with a base on balls, were resiionsible
for two more tallies, making a total of four. That pur
the parade out of step so far as the Macks were con
ccrned. Thej were willing to call it a clay and wash up.
One of the pleasing features of the fuss was the groat
fielding h; Tillj Walker. Tilly was not considered sen
ously as a regular this jenr because of the prained nnkle
he received last year, which had him on the sidelines
most of the time. He couldn't coicr any more ground
than a Canadian nickel and his base running reminded
one of a plumber goiug back to the office for his tools.
v Kut it is different this year. His old-time speed' has
returned, the Injured bock has been forgotten and Tillv
Is a mighty sweet fielder Yesterday he pulled a lot of
ensatlonal stuff aud icnercd lots of ground. In the first
he dashed over to the left Held foul line to snaie Tipp's
fly. und was toamlng all over the place' from then ou.
.
JTJTW It A 11 sic pa ton Is in five innings, and that's
enough teorfc for any outfielder, lie proved
beyond question he kiii flashy as ever, and it's a
safe bet to predict he irill be in the line-up for the
icmainder of the senwn.
Cy Perkins Is Becoming a Slugger
ANOTHER jioung man on the Maeklan payroll Is Kalpli
Perkins. Iialph is doing a lot of catching and is
considered one of the best in the lengue. II" is a great
richer. hnos how to handle pitchers, is nctiuainted with
the weakness of the batters if the have any and his
throw lug aim is strong. He can nail bnse-steulcia, and
the; know it.
M-it Itnlph is blossoming out ns a swell hitter this
cnr. On Wednesday lie poled a homer into the left field
blenchers. aud jestriday the Ynuks feared him so much
that he was puiposMy passed twice. The first time" he
was given free transportation .lack tjtiinn got nervous,
uiiMirked a wild pitch nud .1 run scored. Ills other dead
head walk came in the Mcnth when there was a man
on base.
In the Jifth. when tie-re was nnhoih ou, Uulnn ex
perimented with his slow bull and Peik plunked it against
the right field wall for a double.
Perkins is just one of the joiingsters who is developing
rapidly. Joe Diigun also is lomiug uloug iu good shape
aud is about as good a fieldiDg seeord baseman ns one
could see any place, doe Is a hurd worker, always is
trjlu-j and giving his best. Yesterday he made his first
hit of the year, but lie has shown by his actions at the
plate that he has improicd with the stick, Joe should
be a btar this jcur.

OI'R Phils ulsn came through with an even-Stephen
break yesterday. After suffering a terrible beating ou
Wednesdn in Hrooklyu, the handed out some punish
ment themelves and grabbed the second game of the set
by u narrow margin. This is quite encouraging, for the
Dodgers are unusually strong this car and it Is quite an
iceomplishment to make them bite the dust.
Oavvy Craath used fleorge Smith until the tall
pitcher became wabbly on his pins, und then srnt in sub
stitutes with reckless ubundon. Weinert did the rescue
stunt, but to make sure nothing serious would happen,
Cecil Algernon Causey finished the contest.
At thnt. Cecil Algernon would have had a tough time
of it if Cy Williams had forgotten the location of the ball
park and failed to report. The elongated farmer busted
one over the fence in the ninth when tilings looked shaky
and clinched the verdict. That wallop wasu't needed any

SO.METHINO is wrong with the Bostoii Itraves. They
have copped two in a low from the Ciants, which was
entirely unexpected and unlooked for. Down South they
looked as if they couldn't heat a carpet, but times have
changed. The Uiants were helpless before the pitching
of Kujers and Oeschger.
Cincinnati took another from the Cubs, because the
Chicugo folks made six errors. A team which makes six
errors deserves to lose.
T EST we forget, there's a big ice-skating race at the

N. J. GETSJaROUND BOXING
Limit Extended From Eight by
Governor! Signature
Trenton, April 10. TvteU-e-round
boxing bouts were legalised in New Jer
sey yesterday when Oovernor IMw arils
nflhed his .signature to tlie Siillivnn
measure increasing the number ot
rounds from eight to n dozen. The leg
islation was introduced for the reason
Mint supporters of this sport In New
York state caused to be intiodiiced in
the Legislature of New York n measure
nuthnrUlng twelve -rnuud exhibitions.
It wns contended by boxing piomotors
in New Jersey thnt unless tills state
permitted twelve rounds the would be
tinnble to compete with bouts staged
just across the river. Thus far the
legislation at Albany has not made any
progress, and Indications jioint to the
belief that it will not receive favorable
consideration.
'SPEED' GETS HITTING
POWER IN ALL SPORTS
TTIIK.V the woid "speed"
H tloued within hearing of the aver
age bystander he immediately connects
It with Heetness of foot -and thcteby
lets It go at that.
Hut speed . happens to cover n, far
wider range. It is directly responsible
not only for flcctncss of foot, but also
for hitting power in boxing, slugging
power io baseball, driving: power 1 14 golf
and a few other memoranda ou the i'ldc.
Hack of tho Punch
0NI-J of the inaiii rensons why llabe
Hutli run 'drive n baseball so far
lies in the fact thnt he can iiuikc n bat
travel faster thnu any other man in the
sumo, , , . . ,
It ly n matter of speed in swinging
the bnt. When ltuth's bat crashes
against the ball .It is traveling much
faster than the bat swung by an ordi
nary hitter. .
When P.nb McDonald or Walter
Hagen drive n golf ball i."0 or 27." yards
it is laigely because the club head pro
pelled by their swing is traveling nt
a faster clip than most golfers can
develop.
The Snap
YOl frequently hear of the "snap of
the wrist'' used by ball players or
golfers.
This snap of the wrist Is merely a
matter of speeding up the bat or club
head in the last stages of the swing.
(HtANTLAND ItlCR
is men
One man may lack the physital hulk
ami jet have the leverage to prodme
this required speed, where a fr
stiotiger citizen rouldn't get anvtliiU2
approaching the same distance. '
We have frequintly seen n bir
powerful 'JOO-pounder take 11 full, wild
wallop at the ball, hit it squat civ ami
get 175 yards.
Aud then, again, we have seen I'red.
die McLeod or Norman Maxwell
weighing less than 120 pounds, tnli
what looked to be n faitly easy swim
and drive 2i0 yards.
The inaln differeuec was that tlig
former lack the l.uat-1; of speeding im
the club bend whl'e the latter dldu't.
It does for noxliig
AUOOI) pait of punching power In.
boxing comes front 'his same speed.
One of Dempsey's punches Is traxrlinc
at terrific- speed whin It lands. It Ii
easy to see that Carpentier calries the
sniuc attribute,
Dcmpucy, weighing 'J00 pounds, e.ia
hit far harder than Carl MorrN,
weighing 210, because Dempsey's putiih
moves ns the lightning, while Morris
hasn't the knack or the leverage lo
make his fit move at anv such pace.
The ideal combination Is to tct
power In back of sneid. Itabe Until',
bat Is not only slashing at n dizzy clip
as he hits the ball, but his big bulk it
thrown in back of the blow- at exactlr
the right time.
