The scor First Gamer AUTH ENTITLED TO HIGH HONORS Deserves First Place in Selection of Foremost Player, Is Claim. By Frederick G. Lieb. NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—There ts considerable interest being felt on the outcome of the *vote which will decide the most valuable American League p'ayer of the year. Scme of Ruth's boosters are backing the claims of the Babe for the honor, and it-is-no secret that the mighty Ba bino covets the title and will. feel dis appointed if the vote gives first place to anoher player. It will be recalled that the American League decided to award a prize each year to the player voted the most valuable in the circuit by a committee of newspaper judges, which the name of the player will be permanently chiselled on a baseball shaft in Wash- ington. The {dea is to keep a baseball shaft of fame, somewhat similar to the Hall of Fame in New York. The idea is a splendid one and has been popularly received by the fans. Unfortunately, the National League refused to adopt it when the Amer!- can League did two years ago. There is too much of this petty jealousy between the two majors. The National League probably voted it down be- cause the idea emanated from the American. Last year George Sisler won first honors, with Ruth not getting a sin- gle vote. ‘ But there seems no doubt in the writer’s mind that Ruth deserves first position among American League play- ers this year. While he is not hit- ting as many home runs as in 1920 and 1921, hia 110 bases on balls tells the story why he doesn't get his usual quota of home runs. The Babe can't hit homers when he doesn’t get @ good ball to hit. That is obvious. Playing All Around Game. However, too much has been made past. The Babe is hitting better this season than ever before, as he is clouting the ball for over .875 and has scored more runs than any other big league player. He probably will again lead in runs batted in, Even Ruth’s most hostile critics ad mit that his fielding is ope hundred per cent better than it was last year. The Babe trained off over twenty-five pounds last winter, and he now cov. ers all kind of territory. His throw. Ing which was atrocious last year, is now on a par with that of Bob Muesel, and when the latter’s arm is right he is the best pegger in base ball. This writer never has spared Ruth in the past when the Babe was gullty of transgressions. He was a poor bal! player last year, hog fat and getting into one jam after another. This year the Babe has been one of the best behaved players in either league.

But sporting scribes are a pretty square lot, and in judging Ruth's actions for 1923 we do not think that any of the Babe's failings in former years will be taken into consideration, ——_—__—.____ Sponge trade of West Indies gives employment to 600 boats and over 2,000 persons, Chess is so ancient that its origin is claimed by India, China, Persia and Egypt. jot Thirty per cent of the total popu- Jation of the United States farms. live on = Electricity at $15 a horse: rep resents a cost of one-quarter cent the kilowatt hour, [YANKS TRIM DETRPIT TWICE, BOSTON BEATS BROWNS IN STH Detrolt, 4-8; New York, 10-9, NEW YORI Aug. 11.—(United Press.}—The Yankees won a double- header from Detroit here this after- noon, the first game by a score of 10 to 4 and the second 9 to 8 in 10 innings.
