P e xb In fact, Ruth says in his article, tha he was forced, in that hot spell of homeâ€"running he enjoyed to hitat anything anywhere near the plate. His power was such that he fered it himself, the «destruc. tion of an opposing pitcher, a matter of afractional inch on one o¢â€" Editor, Grimsby Independent, Grimsby, Ont. Second thought, however, is that the eat is quite possible, grantâ€" ed all the factors to make it possible. Thefirst factor, of course, was the mighty propulsive power (muzzle velodty) of Babe at the bat. And the explanation no doubt is that he caight a low fast pitch with mnulm.munwmtutonumnwmtmmu the pitcher‘s legs without touching the grund, found its highest traâ€" jectory over second base, maybe, and renained as a drive until the centrefielder plunged into the catch for the putâ€"out. Yes, it could be done, but not on a shoulder ball. It had tobe a low one. to sign first off before the beginning of mwy season is a frstâ€"class A No. 1 lawyer. The powers that be have cormocted so many rules in so big a rule book that it is practically impossble for the average layman to figure out what it‘s all about. During the past season, I don‘t thic there has been a team or league anywhere in orgunized sport thathas not lodged some kind of protest or another. There are so many classfications and organizations that one can‘t keep track of them all. There ire too many rules to even such a simple game as hockeyâ€"where thebasic idea is for one team to try and put the puck in the other‘s goal.There is absolutely too much complication in all forms of soâ€"called orgmized sport.

Out of baseball lore, and from the curren series of the life of Babe Ruth on the diamond, there is something agin. In The Saturday Evenâ€" ing Post this week Ruth tells of hitting onethrough the legs of Pitcher Lisenbee of the Washington Senators, the ball travelling over second base, being caught on the fly by the oppsing centrefielder. At first thought such a feat would seem to be in defance of ballistics as known I agree that it is necessary for the younger players to work their way up through the minor leagues tomake the major leagues. BUT due to so much wrangling as to who cm play and who can‘t and a lot of other bunk, the sports fan is notgetting a break these days.
