THE SEATTLE STAR ” Play Big Part in American Sport World BY SEABURN BROWN | The chance element, | designated in the parlance ot | sportdom as “the breaks. of the game,” is a greater fac-} tor in deciding championships in all lines of sport than is} generally realized. Americans, who constitute | the greatest body of ihtelli-| gently critical fans the world| has ever known, throng ath-| letic fields of all sorts in all season because the “big! ‘Babe’ be aal Should Not Play First Base-Evall Bambing Is Bust at First! So Says Famous American | League Umpire, Who Thinks Wally Pipp O. K. BY BIL PLY EVANS ROM New York comes the report that Babe Ruth | is to play first base for the| Yankees. To my way of| thinking that is/ pure “bunk.” In the first) place I can see! no reason why a/ change from| Wally Pt > P| should be de-| sired. Ho te a feet basdman of major league calb | mr. For years they have been replac- ing Wally Pipp at first. Each | spring, however, finds him back on | the job as the regular first base | man. | Pipp ts a mighty fine fielder, an/| excellent target for the rest of the! infield to throw at Pipp has a nice | style at the plate, and it always has been surprising to me that he didn’t | finish with a higher batting average. | Why, then, shift Ruth to first| base, when the position is being most acceptably filled by Pipp? In the second place it is my opin fon that shifting Ruth to first would | rod him of much of Bis value to the club. Ruth is never going to be the Hal Chase type of first baseman. Ruth, | always anxious to get results, would | perhaps use brute force in making plays at firet that would often re sult in serious injury. I recall one game in which he Played first base for Bosto: He really saved the game by blocking first base, and allowing the runner to slide into his leg instead of the bag. He was badly cut as a result and was out for about 1¢ games It was a very contly experience. would be a very easy matter for him to reduce at least 30 pounds. A Jom of that much weight woutd make him a much tmproved ball player in all departments.
