Ruth reached for a bottle of eye-wash, doused his expensive op- tics and remarked to the atten- tive youngster: “Have to do this, kid, when I'm getting old.” the Yankee adjustment gears, how he was going. to first base the That's some- machine in in a number this observer With nced of of creaking found $80,000 cog. The outset of the 2 found many skeptical of the ancient Mr. Ruth being able to perform in more than games. The Babe, off to a good start, hitting more (consistently than any regular on the feels he will actively engage nearer 150. His legs are doing very well by him. To the suggestion he was a trifle’ tardy in his home run pace, with| a number of rivals such as Wil- son and Foxx off to faster starts,| the portly slugger remarked : “I been hittin’ I haven't had any the best of the breaks. I been cheated out of two home runs by flukes on as good hits as I ever got. And don’t for- get: the boys are throwing all the bad balls at me they can find.” There seemed something to this, for that very afternoon Earl White- hall, Tiger southpaw, passed Ruth three times in his over-anxiety to avoid giving Ruth anything near the groove. Navy has not won the varsity four-mile rowing classic at Pough- keepsie since 1925, has been no bet- ter than second since 1926, but take the tip from a long way off—Seat- tle, to be specific—the Midship- men are the boys to beat in the big race on the Hudson this month. In the Seattle Times, George Varnell quoted Washington's young head coach, Al Ulbrickson: “Navy was beaten in a desper- ate finish by Columbia but that was a short race. Take my word for it, and Rusty Callow’s . . . when the elder Glendon’s Navy eight rows this month, it will be a big, strong, fighting crew. Navy is started on a rowing comeback.” 1t is noteworthy of the modern free hitting era in baseball that of the seven major league rookies who celebrated their first full seasons by collecting over 200 hits, four put their names in the “Little Red Book” in the past three years. Lloyd Waner of the Pirates, in 1927, was the first to join the list since Joe Jackson came up with leveland in 1911 to hit safely 232 times and top all rookie debuts Frederick of Brooklyn, Alexander and Johnson of Detroit, all brokc in with over 200 hits in 1929. - CARTER GOING SOUTH C.
