New York, Aug 4—Because the passing years temper the judgment and mellow the disposition. George H. Ruth, the prominent left fielder, Is a better hitter today than at any time since he was turned out of a Baltimore reform school as a man of the world apd quite old enough to earn his own home runs. Further than that, Ruth is of infinitely great er value to his ball club. Elementary arithmetic is sufficient to indicate the great change that has come over Ruth. One year ago he had taken part in 97 games for a batting average of .321. and a total of 32 home runs. In the same number of games to date he is hitting .389, the highest average of his career, and home runs to the number of 25 have fallen into the great beyond. The answer? Ruth is mixing in telligence with his ability to hit them with an honest-to-goodness wallop. The old free-for-all on every swing is gone and In il.« place Is a notice able tendency to "choke” the bat whenever this measure seems expe client. In other words, the worthy fellow is guessing with the pitcher and often ahead of him ^ The result is fewer home runs, also fewer strikeouts, to say nothing of more base hits. In fact, the esteemed gentleman would lead the league by HO points if pitchers had less respect for their averages and general health. Ruth seldom gets a good ball nowadays. If he cared to satnd there with his bat on his shoulders, it Is possible that he would be walked three- times out of four. The pitchers make a hol low pretense of pitching to him while they try to shave the corners. This Is merely a gesture, however, designed to placate the irreconcilable* In the stands. Seldom do any of them pitch to him for even an unguarded moment. And their Justification is obvious. Joie Ray Beats Hahn, Fortner Nebraskan, in Mile Race at Boston Boston, Aug. 4.—Joie Ray of the Illinois A. C.t champion mile.run ner, defeated I-Joyd Hulin of the Boston Athletic association, in a mile race today at the Caledonian Kanie here. In a handicap race at \Vohurn last week Hahn won from Ray. Today Ray took the lead at the 200-yard mark and held it through out with ease, finishing 50 yards ahead of Hahn, who led the rest of the Held by a‘similar margin. The time him 4 minutes 32 2-5 sec onds. Molla Mallory Wins Over English Woman Seabright, N. J.. Aug. 4 —Mrs. Mol la Bjurstedt Mallory, national title holder, today defeated Mrs. R. C. Clayton of England, 6-2, 6-3, In the 30th annual invitation tournament on the courts of the Seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket club. Mrs. Mallory led throughout the contest, only two game* in the en tire match, which waa completed in 30 minutes, touching at deuce points. Her fast driving and court covering ability, together with occasional trips to the net for a successful volley, showed her to be obviously superior to her overseas rival. In each set she finished off with fiv* consecutive games. In the finals of the men's double*. William M. Johnston and Clarence J. riffith, former national doubles champions, defeated Watson M. Wash burn and R. Norris Williams IT, for mer Davis cup pair, G-4, 3 6, 6-3, 4 6, The contest was another fight be tween east and west, with the west emerging victors. In t she first part of the match the western pair out played their rivals by their net at tacks. In the third set Johnston at the net, playing the ball In sensa tional form and often covering up for; his partner. M:ss Kathleen McKane.

By JOHN J. M G RAW Manager World's Champion Giant*. Coincident with my recent remark* on the hardships of road trips and particularly the failure of young teams to make good away from home I have received many letters .asking the why and wherefore of this. "These players as a rule are not natives of the city for which they play," writes one fan, "so why should it make any difference to them whether they play in New York, Chi cago or Cincinnati? The diamonds are the same size and the playing conditions are the same ” That is all true except that th# playing conditions are not the same. The correspondent has missed the psychology of the thing. He doe* not realize, perhaps, that the crowd is always a most important factor in a ball game. When a player joins a ball club, no matter where he comes from, that ciub becomes his home. The grounds become to him homelike surround ings. Away from them, for instance, he is much like the man who goes on a journey and doe* not sleep well the first night in a strange bed. It has a tremendous effect, especially on young players. A Feeling of Kncouragement. Many a youngster is feeling it nghl now on this western trip. The feel ing at home is always one of eneour-^ agement. On other grounds the feel- w ing is equally as hostile. It upsets him. It may surprise you to know that players get to recognize the voices of certain fans and under stand the tone of the whole crowd. I can stand under the grandstand and tell merely by the sound of- the voices or a certain tone in applause, whether a home player has made a good catch or whether a batter has made a hit. To a professional pall player these Indications of feeling are unmistakable. On a strange ground everything seems to be differ* nt. Subconsciously the player is affected by that lack of familiar sounds. When a team makes a great record on the road it is not because the locality makes no difference to the players. It is be cause they have developed the fight ing instinct to such a p int that they overcome it by pronounced superi ority. All of you who played ball as kids should remember quite well when de feated how you would say to the op position: "I'd like to see you beat us on our home grounds " That is the germ that goes right on through a ball player's career. ' sr he gets older he steels himself to or c i!lie it. Young players cannot quite get away from it. That is why no real young team ever wi n a pen nan*. This applies to clubs like the Athletics, the Cubs and others. Single Sculls Title to Buffalo Cop Baltimore, Md..
