Champions Delicate Mechanism's
Says Perry, und Bambino Must
Take Care ir Fall.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.,
(Copyright, 1021. by The Oregonian.) .
NEW YORK, Feb. 26. (Special.)
As the Yankees are en route for
Shreveport. La., for spring training,
no encouraging x word concerning
Babe Ruth's future comes from Hot
Springs,. Ark., where the king of
clout is trying to work off his 30
pounds of excess baggage. From a
good student of physical condition
now at Hot Springs, the writer has
heard that while the Bambino will
probably begin the season with fewer
pounds, yet his condition shows that
he has not handled himself this win
ter with any .intelligent regard for
his well-being and that 'it is ex
tremely likely that this will tell In
his home run record in the coming
season.
Or, if not, it will be but a matter
of two or three years when Ruth has
joined the has-beens, provided he
doesn't take a tumble to himself and
realize that his batting prowess is
due to a nice connection of nerves
and muscles to a pair of eyes that
accurately and instantaneously tele
graph messages to his brain.
Champions Delicate Mechanisms,
("haranlnns in whatever form of
sport are delicate mechanisms. They
are in a sense ireaks 01 nature, a
combination of physical and mental
elements that are perfectly adjusted
tc excellence in running. Kitting, box
ing or tennis playing or golf or any
sport one cares to name.
It doesn t take much to throw
things out of gear and when this hap
pens the king falls. Human beings
thus gifted are apt to think of them
selves as out of the ordinary class.
But they are nor; in fact they have
to take better care of themselves
than does the dub. Men who handle
prize dogs or race horses realize this.
What would have happened to Man o'
War had he been permitted to lead
the merry care-free or Irtdulgent ex
istence that Babe Ruth has led this
year? They say that at times his
expenses have been a thousand dol
lars a week. And this is the gait of
Indian chief who has struck oil In
Texas.
Ruth' Decline Forecast.
Those who chatter so carelessly
about Ruth's beating his home run
record in the coming season condi
tion or no condition are mainly
those who do their talking without
a great deal of thinking. There are
quiet chaps who follow baseball not
so much as a pastime as 'a source of
deep thought who ar of the opinion
that Ruth in 1920 attained the peak
of his greatness and that succeeding
years will see his decline; a gradual
decline if he keeps himself in condi
tion, but otherwise as swift as the
flight of a toboggan down an Ice
chute.
A New York expert in analyzing
the swatting- achievement of Ruth
in the season of 1920 makes t clear
just what a remarkable thing he did.
Here is the way he doped the record
out:
One Ruth averaged nearly ten
home runs a month.
Two The Babe made one home run
in every two and a half games.
Three He made a homer about
every eighth and a half times he
went to the bat.
Sixty-five Home Ran Gonl.
And now the fans are howling for
65 home runs, a figure which Ruth
himself set as the thing to aim at this
year. Maybe he will make it. Then
again, maybe he won t. Miller Hug-
gins has not said anything about
this, but he gives one the idea that
he will be satisfied if Ruth comes
somewhere near the great 1920 record.
An American league pitcher of an
other club who was in town yester
day spoke In an interesting manner
of Ruth's probable showing this
season.
"The Babe." he said, "has been
doped out as having no weak points
to pitch to. They say he can hit
anything you Bend high Inside, high
outside, hop, break, drop, anything
you want to throw. Now I don't
think so. I've watched Ruth closely
when I was in the box and when I
was out. Oh, he has made his home
runs off me, too; but I think now
ihat I know how to keep nis home-run
record down so far as my delivery is
concerned, anyway. There are balls
he doesn't like and won't hit at un
less he has to. And when he does
connect with them they are not home
runs. I may have it all wrong, but I
aon't expect to see him get to me foi
the circuit clout in any game we are
in together. And don't forget that
he will find other pitchers harder to
land on, too. The going will be
tougher for the Babe this year."
This pitcher did not want his name
used, because the fans might think he
was blowing and would laugh him
out of the league If his dope went
wrong. But if things breaks as he
said, he will be the original I-told-
you-so-guy next fall.
BY L. H. GREGORY.
JUDGE McCREDIE nearly fell cut
of his chair yesterday when Rudy
Kallio, pitcher, asked him to send
the Portland ball players to San Fran
Cisco next week by boat Instead of by
irain, wnereupon several other play
ers who were gassing over the hot
stove not only seconded the motion.
but did it vigorously.
The judge thought thev were unnof
ing him at first, but they were dead
earnest about it. So much so that
when the judge called for a vote it
was virtually unanimous for the
cruise;
"Well," said the judge, "if you want
lo go oy Doat, by boat it shall be."
He promptly . called up steamship
headquarter) and made reservations
on the Rose City, leaving Portland
next Sunday morning at 10 o'clocft.
Del Baker served in the navy during
the war so he ought to be right at
home on the cruise. No doubt he will
entertain such of the boys as aren't on
(he binnacle list by boxing the com
pass, splicing the main brace, walk
ing the bridge and all that seadog
stuff, though it's a cinch he wont
swab any decks. He had enough of
that while he was in the service.
It was lucky Walt McCredie wasn't
around when the players made their
decision to try a little life on the
rolling wave. Several years ago the
Beavers went to Honolulu to do their
training. Walt was sick all the way
across and all the wav back. The
judge wasn't much better off. You
couldn't get Walt aboard ship now
for two pennants a year, let alone one.
However. Walt already had planned
to shove off for the south bv train
about the middle of this week for
Pasadena to look the Cubs over, so he
should worry.
Captain T. J. Macgenn. the able
skipper of the Rose City, will prob
ably be pleased when he learns the
nfews. The captain dearly likes to take
landlubbers oij their first cruise and
invite -em to sit at the captain's table
and discuss poetry with him. Any
bird who misses a meal or a sto-y
when the skipper puts him at his own
table is disgraced for life.
Walt might arrange with the cap
tain to put the boys through a little
advance training on the cruise, such
as heaving the lead, etc.. doing a
little bright work just after four bells
of the morning watch, swabbing down
th3 decks and such. He'd make either
wrecks or able-bodied seamen of them
by the time they reached San Fran
cisco. By taking the Rose City, the players
will reach San Francisco in time to
get to Santa Maria Tuesday morning.
There the programme calls for them
to begin training at once.
Walt heard some mighty good
things about his recruit third base
man, S. M. Benedict of Caldwell, Ida
ho, around the hot stove yesterday
when Burg, University of Oregon
pitcher, got to chinning about him.
Burg has seen Benedict play and says
he is a real star, a wonderful fielder
and a fence buster with the bat. He
told Walt something he hadn't known
befoca, . jiamely, that Benedict isn't s
mere kid without previous experience
as the Portland chief had supposed.
It seems that a couple of years ago
Benedict played part of the. season
with a club In the Texas league. He
made such a hit down there that the
Texas leaguers have been trying to
induce him to return ever since, but
Benedict won't do it because he doesn't
want to play ball that far away from
known style, "if you have ahold of
dis kid, just keep ahold of him, dat's
my tip to you. He's one of the besteat
young ball players I've ever seen.
And he can soitinly bang that old
a Dole. Hans onto him."
So Walt is hanging onto him. As
Rip is at present in Los Angeles, it
will be only a step for hira to report
from there to Santa Maria.
King" is a catcher, but he is such
a strong hitter and so fast on his
feet, and still so young, being not
more than 21, that Walt believes he
can be converted into an outfielder.
Anvhow. that's the programme for
King he has in mind at present. Of
course it's possible that he might
show so much stuff behind the bat
that it would be foolish to shift him.
but Walt believes that a fast young
fellow ; who can hit as King does
ought to try the outfield.
No definite word has come yet
from Ruby Bob Bescher, the former
Cincinnati outfielder who holds the
National league record in stolen
bases for the period since 1900, with
SO one season and 70 another. The
deal with Columbus for Bescher has
been officially o.k.'d at the Columbus
end by Clarence Rowland, who has
succeeded Bill Clymer there as man
ager. Now Ivs a matter or coming
to terms personally with Bescher.
The Judge sent him a telegram last
week but got word that the wires
were down and that the message had
been sent on to Bescher by mail
That puts all hands at the mercy of
Mr. Burleson and there's no telling
what has happened to the message.
But Walt is determined to have
Bescher if he wjll come to the coast.
The Pacific coast playing schedule
for the 1921 season, published on
another page, contains something
that surprised the judge when he
read it. The surprise lies in the fact
that double-headers are scheduled
for every Sunday in the season. An
other surprise is that they are sched
uled In the form of a Sunday morning
game and a Sunday afternoon game,
as has been the custom at Oakland
and San Francisco for years, but
never anywhere else on the circuit.
The Judge says that the Sunday
morning stuff is off with him and
that as long as he is owner of the
Portland baseball franchise there

judge's argument Is that with Sunday
ball permitted in Portland, it would
be most foolish and unsportsmanlike
to antagonize the churches by play
ing games Sunday morning.
"Let the people go to church In the
morning," said the Judge, "and at

may rest assured that we shall not
try to stage a counter attraction
Sunday morning- The games sched

be played In the afternoon, which
means double-headers practically

W. H. Klepper, the Seattle magnate,
while here the other day said he, too,
was opposed to playing any Sunday
morning games and that Seattle
would follow Portland's example of
doubling up the games in the afternoon.
The new schedule, by the way,
provides for eight baseball games a

heretofore early in the season and

irg that he was ready to make good
bis promise for a. early return bout.
experience in a circuit of the class of
the Texas league and that he made
good certainly sounds well for his
chances with the Beavers. It also
goes to show that all the encomiums
cf his playing that have come down
from Idaho have something behind
them.
Young Rip King,, the lad who made
football history by heaving a forward
pass 55 yards for a touchdown and
the winning score in a professional
football game at Los Angeles last
month, thereby breaking Brick Mul
ler's celebrated 50-yard toss record
against Ohio State, will play baseball
for Portland this season. That was
settled yesterday when Judge Mc
Credie and Manager Walt decided to
meet tho young fellow's terms and
telegraphed him to that effect.
If King can play baseball as well
as he plays professional football he
will be a star, no less. A whole flock
of big league scouts say he can do
just that thing and have gone to the
trouble of writ.ng Walt about it.
Jack Dunn of the minor league
champion Baltimore team in the In
ternational league thinks the same,
for he signed King last season to a
contract, which has been annulled be
cause Judge McCredie was able to
rhow that Rip previously had ac
cepted terms from Portland and re
fused to report. Bill tsstck or
Vernon appears to be of the same
mind, for he has been moving heaven
and earth to get King away from
Portland so he can s'gn him for him
self
But best of all, box scores of games
in which King has played in the In
dustrial league.back In Ohio all seem
to bear out the same story.
Rin isn't particularly backward
about admitting his accomplishments.
He has been demanding a pretty fat
price on his service and he said right
out in meeting in his last letter that
if his price wasn't met he would go
back and play another season in the
Industrial league. So the judge and
Walt, after talking it all over and
taking into full consideration the
many recommendations they have
had of his playing, decided to take a
chancel
The league season opens April S
with Portland at San Francisco,
Vernon at Sacramento, Oakland at
Salt Lake and Seattle as Los Angeles.
The season in Portland and Seattle
will start two weeks later, on April

It isn't often that a youngster can
break into professional baseball in a
class AA league with no previous pro
fessional league experience at the
figure King will get. However, he
seems to have all the confidence in
the world that he can deliver. These
fellows who bel'eve In themselves
are the kind that make good in base
ball. King played part of last season
with Akron in the Industrial league
and then switched to Massilon. All
the other players on the Massilon
team were ex-big leaguers without
exception, yet King kept his head up
with all of them and smacked the
ball so hard that Jack Dunn heard
about him and signed him. He was
to have played regularly with Balti
more this season had the contract
not been annulled
Walt got one letter from Jack
Doyle, big league scout, saying that
if he had a string on King he had
better keep It tied because the young
ster was a great ballplayer.
On top of that came word from
Eddie Herr. former manager for Salt
Lake and now Ivory hunting for the
Detroit Tigers.
"WJt." said Herr, in his well-

The Coasters will play this season
under the same 18-man player limit
as prevailed last season. That is to
say. between May 1 and September IS,
clubs will be permitted oi.ly 18 men,
though before May 1 and after Sep
ember 15 they can carry all the extras
they want.
Bill' Klepper of Seattle made a
fight at the league meeting in San
Francisco to have this increased to
20, but the other magnates couldn't
see It. Klepper's argument wasn't
such a bad one, for he proposed that
the two men above !8 be players
who had not previously played a full
year with any class AA team. His
Idea was to develop youngsters, which
will be hard to do with an 18-player
limit because with the class of the
Coast league this ne: t season a man
ager will want experienced players
at every post. That means that only
the. sensational youngsters can
break in.
The 18-player rule will result In the
clubs lining up about as follows:
Two catchers, five infielders, four out
fielders and seven pitchers. That
gives four regular Infielders and one
utility man, and three regulars and
one utility outfielder. Seven pitchers
certainly should be enough. Clubs
that win pennants almos. always do
