RUTH CONFRONTED
WITH TASK OF
HOLDING TITLE
NEW YORK, April 22.—Babe Ruth
shoulders his mighty bludgeon and
fares forth to the 1925 base-hit con
test 'this spring in new light.
Added responsibilities for the nat
ionally known resident of Sudbury,
Mass., have unquestionably altered his
place in the game since the teams un
limbered for the diamond warfare a
year ago. Now the champion batter of
the America* League and In 1923 de
signated the most valuable American
League player to his team, Ruth this
year is beckoned by reputation to
maintain greater honors than were
ever before carried by one diamond
professional in a single season.
Speculation as to the (effect of a de
sire on Ruth’s part to retain his new
ly earned title of baiting champion
finds the thawing bleitcherite mani
festing mo small interest in its effect
on his '‘drawing power as a slugger.
Hitting them high and far rather than
often and safely, has been the admit
ted fecundation of the'fYankee idol’s un
precedented popularity and his asset
as a 'drawing card. How he will
shape his course between the throne
of the home run king and the cham
pion 'swatsman of the circuit offers
one *>f the interesting (questions of the
192»*season, and one which only Ruth
canmnswer as the' campaign progress
es.
Ruth’s high average of .378 last year
was in large measure attributed to bis
frequent use of a -shortened grip on
the bat, by which:he limited the arch
of.ihis swing and added to the possi
bility of accumulating quantity ra
ther than distance to his hits. While
through the intermittent departures
from his sweeping cut at the ball Ruth
(cmrtailed his home.run making oppor
tunities, he still was able to top both
leagues with a total of 46 four baggers.
This, incidentally, was the nearest he
I has yet come to his record-breaking
performance of 1921, when he collect
ed 59 homers.
For two seasons ..after that mark
has been postponed. Ruth promised to
exeell it, and failed. But this spring
no predictions have come from the big
outfielder, either because it is gener
ally believed to be still an accepted
I ambition of Babe or because it has
been considered by Ruth as secondary
to achievement as the league’s most
consistent hitter.
2&WISS LIKE .AMERICAN CARS
GENEVA, April 22.—American auto
mobile manufacturers ranked second,
numerically at the recent Internation
al Automobile Show in this city. 38
care came from France, and 21 from
the United States. Tte total num
ber t of the exhibit was 9S.
fine of the greatest needs of the
oammnnity at the present time is co
operative and harmonious action. For
a town the size of Seward, it can show
more .factional differences than any
small place we have ever lived in.
That.this internal .dissension militates
against the town goes without saying.
It is impossible to do good work with
so much open enmity existing, and
as time gsoes on conditions apparently
become worse instead of better We
have the location, the resources and
the opportunity to make a large city
here. Will we do it?
