Prone to strike out a lot, he is a free swinger, Ruth h easier than usual this spring to the strike-out rout hit on his part fairly well in front had t 0 placed on the right side of the ledger, Why Is It? Why the slow start on the part of Ruth, who physically appears to be in great conditionn? It may simply one of those years in which Ruth is slow to hit] his stride. His spring play has var-| ied greatly during his major league career. Some seasons he has started whanging the ball on the nose from opening day, in others he hasn't got going until about the midf.e of May. In many quarters, the belief exists that mutns eyes are not as keen as they were when he bumped the old apple for 59 home vuns and a major| league record that should stand for some time. No doubt the eyes are the real barometer of Ruth's batting power. He still takes the same terrific cut at the ball, his swing has lost none of the home-run snap, but unques- tionably there isn’t the perfect ordination that once existed mind and muscle, The eye isn’t tim- ing the ball as well. Hit So Often When Babe hits them on’ the nose today, the ball travels as far as it time power. However, he doesn't hit them so often. He pops up more frequently than he used to and once again lack of proper timing is the answer. The argument has also been ad- vanced that Ruth’s work as a Thes- pian and movie picture actor rasn't done the well-known eyes any good. For about three months last winter Ruth did his stuff before the foot- lights. Finishing his vaudeville en- gugement, he hopped from the stage fo the movies, just having enough time to finish a feature picture be-| luug Spring reporting uime; A salary! late for training. It is a well-known fact that the! powerful Klieg lights used in the pro- —eas_of making motion pictures are not regarded as eye tonic for a home- ranvhitter. Perhaps the glare of the winter work has temporarily hurt Ruth’s vision. Whatever the cause, the Babe isn't as yet busting them as of yore, How- ever, Miller just so long as Lou Gehrig and the| at of the boys are cutting up at the; it. Give tho Babe a little time,” says luggins, “he's going to make a lot! of pitchers suffer for this slow start.”| A VOY mn | KOENIG KEY T0 YANK CHANCES; Upon His Play Rests Possi- bility of Hugmen Winning Again, Says Evans (BY.
