The summary: GASCO Dudack So they have finally discovered Babe Ruth’s weakness at th plate, he Babe must be much periurbed, Pitch high and inside is the doe that is being wafted north from tie training camps if you would step Ruth from busting up ail ball games. A year ago John McGraw told ti: world that Babe couldn’t hit a bal pitched low and inside, The work o | Ruth in a couple of series against the Giants scemed to bear out that opin- ion, Then in the 1923 sor Ruth broke loose and swatted the low and outside stufl to all corners of the lot, From a positicn back of the plate 1 bave been watching Ruth for =« number of years, and haven't as yet been able to distover any decided weakness in his sty Ruth is a free swinger, the style batsman who looks bad when there is a lack of coordination. When Ruth is pressing most any kind of . pitching vill make him look bad.

While Shocker has the edge on the cham- pion slugger, he is always Pegsed when he has been retired. “ .o “Pipp beat us many more than Ruth,” is another message from a big league manager in the seith. “We passcd Ruth, took a chance on Pipp, and he invariably delivered,” - . o Will Take on Four Teams Next Week, Starting Monday Night With the r The Celtics in playing four games next week expect to establish a new record for wins in one Week.

Last week the tic pivot man hurt his foot, and I'riday one of the snappy | Celtic forwards hurt his hand. In spite of these facts, the Celties are eagerly awaiting the referee’s whistle in the various games, The Celtics expect to start with the following lineup: M. Finklestein, rf., capt.; A, Politis, 11.; Lipmam, c.; Zeldon, rg.; Gordon, 1g.; subs, M. Abrams, Dinen, Kotkin, simes That is an intercsting bit of loge. If a manager refused to take a chanee and let Ruth bust one, naty Pipy, to whom his pitchers pitched, woull have a much better chance of doing damage. If a elub refuses Lo pitch to Iuth, one could hardly expect him to make base hits, The fact that Pipp came through in the pinch doesn't prove that Ruth wouldn't have done as well if given the opportunity, Keeping ttutn crvw caiting the ball is largely confined to the conversatior of the training camp [ BICYCLES COLUMBIALAND RANGER %, Hels, also of Detroit, hit 688 for | MONIER BROS. cighth place in the singles He had | 38-42 :AIS 1 games of 199, 246 and 2 | i ‘\ 4 . | I'veE (BEEN PLAYING GoLF ToDAY over THAT BAY SHORE COURSE AND I'm ERIE BOWLERS TAKE LEAD Urban And Sittinger Total 1,298 In Chicago Tourney | Chicago, March 8. — Eddie l.rbllll and Jess Sittinger of Erie, Pa., took | the lead in the doubles of the Ameri. can Bowling congress late yesterday with 1,298, Urban rolled 605 and fittinger €73, Two Detroit bowlers, | rolled into second | place with s total of 1,2 Baver | had 674 while his partner ecounted 578, ::,5574“5 THERE 's SOME - CAME Down|[ BODY AT Tiue HERE For A LTTLE ResT .
