Prem the wall te the home plate is a dis tance of -lTri feet. Ruth is one of four men te send the ball ever the left field fence in Shlbe Park. Frank Welch nnd Tlllle Walker, of the Athletics, and Geerge Rums, of the Indians, nre the ether three batters te perform the feat. outer garden. This enters him as a great defensive outfielder. Geed Hnserunncr The Maulinc Mountain can't run n hundred yards In ten seconds Hat, and if he tried he would miss linns Lebert's baserunning record by mere thnn a second or two, but the Rabe uses his head as well ns his legs en the bases nnd takes advantage of every oppor tunity. This places him among the top tep top netchers en the runways. Ne one can ever nccuse the Rabe of laying down. He has the proper spirit toward the game. He plays baseball te win always and he never quits. This makes him eligible ns a fighter. Clese te 150,000 saw the Yanks and Indians battle in their crucial series tills week. It cannot be said that they all turned out te see Ruth, but the Riiltimere Ruster war. tlie heudliner. Te piee lie Is the big noise, the greatest crowd i.i that ever crowded into Shlbe was en hand when the Y'auks were here for a Saturday double-header and the series meant nothing. This nitcs him as baseball's greatest drawing curd ' Ruth cannot field with Cobb or Speaker und can't think with them, but if i In three were in the same line-up the Rabe would be in the clean-up posi tion. He hnsii't the technique and the finesse that marks Geerge Sisler's bat ting und playing, but the St. Leuis luminnry lack the tremendous wallop and run-getting ability of the New Yerk idol. The-e facts put together qualify him as the greatest player in baseball. Grand Average of .327 It was during the l'.ll," season that Ruth broke into big-league baseball, then ns a pitcher with the Itnnen Red Sex. He was in forty -two games that year and in ninety -two times at bat hit for an average of .315 The next yeur he had 1.10 tries and hit .272, this being the poorest percentage of his career in the big show. He re turned te the .300 class in 1017 with .325 nnd hit an even .30(1 in 1018. His last year with the Red Snv found him slapping the sphere at .322. He went forward with leaps and bounds when he get with the Yanks and last season hit .370. This vur his per centage se far la .3S0. Acress the stretch of seven seasons he has whaled for n grand average of .327. Ruth didn't class as a home-run hitter until 1018 and then only eleven circuit clouts came from his wicked weed. He started en the rosy read in real in 1010. when he set UP a new rnnjer lengue record nt twenty -nine, With tlie Yanks the following season he hung up n world's mark at fifty-four nnd with fifty-eight this year, he has averaged twenty-three homers per season despite the fact that he had only four, three nnd two four ply blows In 1015, 1010 and' 1017 re spectively. , There nre few records left for Ruth te get, but nn mutter what thev are !n the way of hitting and run-cettlng. who will say that he won't get them?

Willie Jacksen, Rrenx lightweight, and Pete Hnrtlcy, "the Deuble Dane," battled through fifteen disappointing rounds at Madisen Squnre Garden last "night and, when the final bell clnnged, the decision wns an nounced ns n drnw. The icrdict was received with disap preval hy the crowd as It seemed an injustice Hartley eppeared the winner en points. The bout was below the average of Garden attractions, net through nnv fault of Hartley, but because of Jack Jack eon's comparatively peer showing. Hartley fought 11 methodical, consist ent, steady buttle. In which he did the major pert of the leading and countered mero I'lcunly nnd frequently than did the Rrenx lightweight. This consist ency, compared with Jacksen's compar atively timid nssnult, seemed te entitle Hartley te the honors in the majority of the rounds.

A., had te de some tall hustling In order ty get a substitute wind-up for the weekly show tonight at the Eleventh street arena when he learned that both Jack Sharkey, of New Yerk, and Jnbez White, of Albany, had no intentions te go through with their set-te. After trying te sign up differ ent hnntnms Jannetti finnlly paired Jimmy Mende. the Seiithwnrk Italian, with Eddie Wimler, of Pittsburgh. A year age Wimler gave Danny Kramer a hard battle at the National. This will be his first bout here since thnt scrap. It is said that Sharkey and White pulled out of the National show In order te go en In a match In New Yerk. If it is true that Jannetti had the signatures of these men before they agreed te the contest in Getham, then Director Cor telyeu has another decision en hli Jiands.
