not Impossible that this Klam-

will equal or surpass the state
records.

NEW ' YORK, April' 17 (JP)
After all, this -season his 21st
may not be Babe Ruth's last
in . the big leagues as an active
ball player: : ;
The boisterous Babe said so
himself today In bis best bari
tone.' Notwithstanding what he has
said before, the Babe right now
feels that his legs might be
strong enough to carry him
through a 22nd season.
'I'm surprised to find myself
in such good condition," he said.
"In tact I haven't started a sea
son feeling so tit as I do now
in five years.
"There's nothing wrong with
my batting eye or my batting.
Hell, didn't I lead the boys dur
ing the training season? Red
Rolfe gave me a close race but
I nosed him out In the last gam
with Brooklyn. "
"Unless my legs crumple un
dor me, I'll not only play in
more than 100 games .but I'll be

course a lot depends on what

, The Babe not only anticipates
a good season for himself,, but
the Yankees as well. He figures
the Yanks the best ball club In

hasn't a doubt they'll wind up
with the banner.
"We can't have any worse
pitching than we bad last year,"
he mumbled. "Oosh, the law

this season and our pitchers
should do a whole lot better.
