BASEBALL, NOW IS LEADER Yankee's Attack Now is Centered Around This Formidable, Hard Hitting Outfielder, New York, Oct. 3 —Overshadowing even the excellent team play, the sterling work of the pltching staff and the uncanny fleld defense of the New York Yankees, American league pen- nant winners this scason, were the performances of Babe Ruth, the year's star of stars in the major leagues. Called the “Incorrigible Boy of Baschall,” because of his display of temperament in 1921 and 1922, Ruth came back to the game this year with but one idea—to give his best. He has not been the home-run hitter he was in 1921, but the all-time record Jor circuit swats in a season was set with his fifty-nine. But he has not been out of the game because of boyish pranks, and his all-around play has surpassed anything he has shown be- fore. Ruth has been the greatest indi- vidual asset in the present Yankee combination of stars and is being se- lected by many baseball writers as the greatest individual player of the season on any team. He has hit home runs aplenty, but not as many as in 1921, His batting record, however, close around the .400 mark all sea- son, is filled with singles, doubles and triples—blows that came when men were on base and runs needed. He has been such a terror at bat that the number of intentional bases on balls given him by oposing pitchers has set a new record. Around Ruth—the new Ruth—the Yankee attack has been clustered throughout the season. Taking their cue from him the other members of the team settled into a perfect com« bination, with the rekult that the club has won the pennant with one of the greatest winning margins on record.

(By Billy John MeGraw versus be Rtuth. There you have the battery for the coming world series, Can John McGraw, manager of the New York nts, outguess Babe Ruth, bascball's “king of swat,” the big threat of the New York Yankees? Sitting In the dugout, far from the view of the thousands of fans who attended the series last year, Manager John McGraw did the pitching for the New York Giants, It was McGraw who outguessed Ruth and the rest of the Yankees, making it possible for the New York Giants to win its sccond world scries in a row. On ev ball pitched in the 1922 world es, Citcher 1k Snyder glanced in the direction of the Giant’ he crouched down to Catcher Irank Snyder nager, McGraw for bench before world scrics, looking to M instructions, MceGraw's Word is Final The supposition is that McGraw gave the Anal decision on every ball pitched. Some cxperts argued that only in the pinch did he pass the sig- nals to Snyder. ILven so,, he accom- plished: his purpose, for he had the Yanks paying more attention to him than the pitching. MeGraw, in the 1923 clash with the Yanks, will again occupy the same seat in the Giants' dugout, IFrank Snyder or IHank Gowdy, who will probably to the catching for the Giants, will be looking toward the hench as wus the custom in the last series. The theory of MeGraw is that Ruth cannot hit pitcher with a good curve, who is able to'slow up. Give Ruth a dlet of slow ball pitching with a curve mixed in, keping the ball low and outside and you have him stopped says McGraw : Slow Ball Ruth's Weakness There is no seeret about MeGraw's theory, Ruth can go into the se prepared to look at a lot of slow ball pitching.
