NEW YORK, Sept. 22. (AP) Un
leaa t,he leading exponent of the
strategic value of the home run. Babe
Ruth, is in much improved health
a week hence, the Yankees likely will
not show any advantage over the
Chicago Cubs Insofar as the cleanup
blowa of their outfielders are con
cerned in the forthcoming battle for
the baseball championship of the
world is concerned.
It la true the Yankees, on paper,
show a heavier punch but this is
offset by the fact Ruth has to con
tend with a bigger "tummy ache"
than all the rest of the outfield
combined.
Babe Better Be Good
If the Babe Is not In there next
week doing something besides roar
ing defiance to the enemy, on wob
bly legs, the Cubs may pluck up
sufficient courage forthwith to chase
the Yankees all over Colonel Rup
pert's expensive premises in the
Bronx to say nothing of what may
happen when the Bruins have their
home-town cheers to spur tnem on.
The only real difference between
'the two outfield groups is represent
ed by the batting averages of Ruth
and Klkl Cuyler, who patrols right
neia ior me tuos. i tie uumutmi
season figures are .348 for Ruth and
only .286 for Cuyler, but that doesn't
tell the real story.
Cuyler "Mot" In Finish
Where Ruth has been laid up and
lost considerable of ,hls much-needed
strength, Cuyler has come down the
home strewn use a ioresx lire iannca
by a gale. The fleet Klkl has been
producing the big cleanup wallop
when the Bruins needed it. He had
such a poor start over the first two
or three months of the season that
his present average does not disclose
he has been hitting well over .800
for the last six weeks.
Taking these facts Into cnsldera
Mon, plus Cuyler's far superior de
fensive skill and base-running abil
ity, the Cubs figure to concede little
or nothing to their American league
rivals In the outfield.
Here are the comparative batting
records of the outfielders:

IDLER KNOCKS
JUDGE ON VISITS

the recall of Circuit Judge H. D.
Norton was underway in the Foots
Creek district the forepart of the
weeek. according to reports received
yesterday. The recall petition "ahov-
was described as & solicitor for
county newspaper who sought slgna- j
tures and subscriptions at the same
time. The report further stated that

Judge Norton. He met with scant
success, the report said.

Ashland, recall petition "shovers"
there have secured close to ISO names
after a week of intensive work and
solicitation. T. L. Breechen of Ash

asked to sign the recall petition and
had ordered the solicitor out of his
place of business.
Reports from Applegate. Ruch and
Jacksonville districts early this week
said that clrcutalora had canvassed
the areas, but had met with rebuffs.

ity of the fathers of the recall move
ment, which has met with disfavor
In all parts of Jackson and Josephine
counties. Avowed proponents of the
recall have attributed its creation to
"spontaneous combustion" and de
clared "It makes no difference who
started the recall its started."
