Ruth is thirty years old now. ‘The experts give him no more than three more seasons to star, as he has been, starring, and they think then that he will start to slip. Before the Sisler case, however no one seemed to have given a ser- {ous thought to the possibility that Ruth might go back to. pitching and prolong perhaps three or four seasons a career that had reached its natural end. There have been many cases Where a pitcher reached the end of his string and then continued as a player.

YB. 4 aw b. 20-—Old Mr, stone. m venérable gentleman is a composite of second base- an and shortstop on all baseball ams and whose prowess has been harped or time and again when some recruit discovers that he is still on the job, is at it again, with another er turn up in the Na- tional league. When ty Herrmann sald Mon: day that he expected the Cincinnati Reds to win the championship in 1924, which is more than Pat Moran could be léd Into saying, some one proceeded to tell Herrmann that he was deluding himself because the Reds were slower on the field than the public officials are to reduce pub- lice expenses. They told him he had a lot of club-footed and dub footed infielders, which wasn’t courteous—and maybe isn’t true. That's where Mr. Keystone butts in figures 1923, which are the most reliable t lable, show that the Cincinnati! keystone was the snapplest of them all tn the National league last season. Combined, Caveney and Bohne ac: cepted some 13.7 chances per game in the fleld. This does not include the chances they did not accept Herrmann, on figures, seems have the better of those who under- took to deride the ability of his team. On this same basis, there is quite a surprise party in the Boston Na- tionals. Tierney, who has been taken over by Boston as a possible second baseman, accepted that the 7 chances per game in 1923 and that was more than Frank Frisch accomplishes Put Bancroft and Tierney together and their total is 12.8 chances per game. That is second best for 1923. The keystone of progress rated as another pennant ‘contender, prob: WS |+ Short Sketches of the Cl By JOHN B. FOSTER. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.)

If so that keystone will have a 1923 record of 11.7 chances accepted per game. As for the champion Giants, Frisch and Bancroft, the last year’s keystone, would have a rating of 12.2 chances per game if they were together again. But they aren't. It probably will be Frisch and Jackson, the latter described as the best find a year ago. But their com- bination would boast a 1923 record of only 10.65—considerably. below the Cincinnati figures, for instance, It probably won't work out just that way in 1924. Jackson probably will do better in fast company, while the Cincinnati keystone may sag off a bit, But if the 1923 fig- ures held good in 1924, the Reds would have an advantage that the Hants would find it mighty difficult to overcome. poe eRe FONTANA AND LONG TO CLASH AT CHEYENNE CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb. 20.— Soldier Fontana of Cheyenne and Don “Terror” Long of Colorado Pocatello, Idaho, and Richie Davis, a Francisco welterweight, fought six rounds to a draw in the semi- final exhibition.
