By DAMS J. WALSH. EW YORK, May 24.—Without the hand wagon ac companiment of other season*. our Mr. Ruth l» slow ly but inevitably compiling the in gredient* of what may prove to be a new home run record for profee alonal baseball, lie smote his tenth of the reason on Friday during the course of t he over the Tigers, making his average for 27 games something like .370 per game. A slight acceleration of this pace would permit our hero to eass beyond bis world's record of 59, culled during the free swinging day* of 1921. Yet our Mr. Ruth's efforts no longer attract the attention that once was his, with or without the asking, laical papers no longer chronicle the Imll by hall record of the great man; they no longer use their headlines for blaring an nouneenp nts of his activities. They merely tell whether the Yankees won or lost and if our Mr. Ruth in dulges himself to the extent of a home run the fait is mentioned quite casually. They have begun to take him for granted, which is well. j Quietly but efficiently, our George has set out to do something bigger and finer, as they say in Hollywood. It he continues at his present pace lie will have amassed a total of 57 home runs at the conclusion of the current campaign. This is three more than he made in 1922 and u round Horen beyond bis effort for last sea son. This Is all the more surprising In view of the fact that most ».f tlie Yankee games have been played in side the far flung fences of the home field, where they have taken addi tional precaution* this season against the outbreak of a hom run epidemic. Hits that now bound into a certain section of the left field stands arc good for two bases. The so called "bloody angle.” in right, a pocket where an ordinary fly hall went for the circuit, hits been eliminated. In addition major league lawmak ers ruled, during tlie offseason, that baseball* no longer may be tossed Into the discard at random. They are kept Ip the gam* as long ns possible, a distinct boon to pitching effective ness Y’et Ruth ts hitting better this sea son than at any time since 1921. This fact Is nothing short of an unspoken tribute to the art of a great hall player. His activities may have ceased to tie n novelty to the metro politan taste, blit they have lost nothing In the practical matter of winning hall games. \ppral l<»r Olympic- Funds Made lo I Diversities Washington, I> C\.
