NO 1.0X0 Kit can the dear old public hnncl the rollicking rawsberry te tlie
bnll clubs representing our city In what lire commonly known a the big
leagues. Ne longer can the fans giggle gloriously without hitting n sour note,
because our teams nre very important. They were nil set and in condition
te win two pennants thlx year, nml what ether town eer had uch honor
thruKt upon It?
JiiBt for sake of argument, hew did the Yntibis win the American League
pennant? Hy beating the Athletics. The crucial series wan played right here,
and the men en fennle'n payroll were very important and taken seriously.
And the I'hlls just misurd being heroes bj an eyelash. Had Pittsburgh
breezed through the games in St. I.oele it would have been necessary for the
Giants te come right here te till cit; and win the pennant. This is nn absolute
fact, for en this very day Mister Mct'.raw will be here te play a double-header
with the I'hile. Of course, the games new will be superfluous, nobody caring
who wins, but from force of habit it prebablv will be the (Slants. They have
trimmed the Phils se often that the cant help it at this lete date.
Therefore ve stand out tednj as the foremost pennant-winning city in
the world, although we never win atr . We help ethers If we can't help our eur
Belvcx, and nre kind, gentle and YKItY hospitable te all visitors. Many times
have traveling ball clubs arrived here snrrouniled b gloom and wearing long
faces, only te dipart a few days later with their maps wreathed with smiles
nd a brilliant luturc before them. The local dubs have sprinkled rays of
unshlne into the heart" et many athletes, nn.1 this surely has been appreciated.
Negatively speaking, wt h:ue lus-u batting 1.000 per cent. Net only
this jenr or the year before, but for secn long seasons. Lending a helping
hand has been our long suit, and the work has been je successful that we have
corned assistance from ethers. We have been perfectly satisfied te remain
In the mire which omen nreund eighth place, and have become se accustomed
te the position that n climb te the dizzy heights of seventh place was out of
the question. Yeu can't be n geed guy and win ball games.
.Tee (Srim took a let of punishment, b.if made many friends In the prize
ring. Whenever some aspiring leather-pusher found it absolutely necessary
te win a fight he would sign up for a match with Grim. In baseball, when
ever n few victories were necessary the clubs wait until they reach this city.
and never are disappointed.
JOE GUI if teas a pi eilurt of Philadelphia. .Se arc the Athlcticn
and the Phils. That mute if all even and ran be used as an
argument te prove the heipitality of our City of Brotherly Leve.
Philadelphia Players Reister Other Clubs
BUT this is net nil Winning ball games for ethers Is all right In Its way,
but we also are exceedingly kind and thoughtful In bolstering weak spots
in ether teams. The Chicago Cubs needed a geed battery, se we sent them
Alexander and Killefer. Cincinnati needed a manager, and received Pat

And allow us te pause a moment and discuss the New Yerk Oiant.
Mister McOrnw needed a shortstop last year, and the best he could de was
te get Itancreft. ISanny Is only tlie b"t in the business, and he came from
Philadelphia. This year ether athlete- were needed. Nobody could play
.second base pmpi-rl:. . se Johnny Haw-lings was sent te Getham. A right

Stengel and ISeil Causey also were shipped te the Giants, showing that we
will go the limit te assist lival magnates in trouble.
New we have just cause te be preuu. We nre lepresented en both

Series will knew some of the p'ayets by tbii first names. This is n great thing.

Ruth's Longest Hemer
Made Against Detroit
The longest home run en record
in the major leagues was made by
Iluth against Detroit early this sea
son. Rabe shot the pellet ever the
wall en Navin Field in deep center.
The following day the greunditeepct
measured the hit nnd found that It
had traveled 500 feet te the wall.
Hew far ever the wall the horse
hide went will never be known.
The longest hit made at Mlilbe
Park was also the product of Uuth'fl
hefty willow. On September I), with
Uellle Naylor en the mound, Ruth
sent the bnll far nnn high ever uie
left fieli". fence, nbeut 100 feet from
the flag pole In center field. 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

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

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

HARTLEY-JACKSON DRAW
Verdict Is Disappointment te Getham
Fans Hartley Appeared Winner
New Yerk, Oct. 1. 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.

Scraps About Scrappers
Chick Jannetti, matchmaker of the
National A. 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. An Investigation is in order,
and Sharkey and White should be
barred in Philadelphia, if found guilty.
