Baseball Commissioner Landis, who is as famous for his felt lids as he is for canning Ruth, has a new straw kelly. The fact became gossip after the dim, in competition to get results. against practice pitching means little or nothing. : weakness, control is most necessary. A curve ball broken over the heart of the plate is not nearly so effec- tive as a curve that just skims the outside corner. When Douglas and Barnes, who are right handers, pitched’ to Ruth they kept their curve ball low and in- side. If either chose to use a fast ball, it was always low and outside. I don’t believe Ruth had a half doz- en balls pitched to him in the 1921 series that: were any. distance above the knee. His showing at the bat in the series was a disappointment. He struck out eight times. He seemed to be at the mercy of a low ball. - This year since Ruth returned to the game, American League pitchers are using the tactics so successfully employed by the Giants’ pitchers. Ruth is being fed on a diet of low bail pitching. Possibly if Ruth has a weakness, it is the low ball. However, to my way of thinking, he is no weaker on a low ball than any number of the great hitters of the game. I feel safe in saying that half of the home runs hit by Ruth last year, in establishing his mark of 59 home runs, were on low bails. golfed them over the fence. He simply Lack of Practice Ruth at present js simply suffering from lack of practice. His eyes ‘are A batter miust face real pitching Hitting ‘Babe {s trying too hard. He is forcing his swing, with the result that it is lacking in accuracy. He is conscious of the fact that his crown as a home-run king is in dan- ger.

It is now proposed that virtually the whole educational work of the country, with the exception of a few. private schools, be taken over by the state. Tuition fees will be practically elim- inated, and students wil not be.encum- bered by the study of rot-essential sub- jects. The estimated’ cost of the new system will be about $1,000,000 a year more than at presenv. It is proposed also to establish a school, new to the Swedish system of education, to be known as “lyceum” which in seven years will take a pupil diractly from the elementary school to matriculation for the universities. Among the languages offered under the new plan will be Latin and Greek and three modern languages in addition to Swedish, namely, English, French and German, OLD SETTLERS’ PICNIC.
