Eeb. 14 (UJ9 Babe Ruth became a home run specialist while pitching and pinch-hitting for the Boston Red Sox. In a day of choke hitters. he gripped the bat 'way down at the end. He was the first batter to concentrate on home runs. He shot for the works, instituted something new and phenomenal. Ruth had perfect rhythm in a double swing, even looked good striking out It was the power in his wrists at the end of his tremendous tre-mendous swing that enabled him to uppercut the ball and belt it for such magnificent distances. The Bambino was a slender kid when he first came up. stood six feet two and weighed 215 pounds at his peak. He had a devouring appetite, however, and in later years blew up until he looked like a balloon on toothpicks. Had he been sawed In two on any -glv en day, half of Steven's conces slons would have been found in side. Natural on Broadway- Ruth at first objected when Col. Jacob Rupert paid Harry Frazee $125,000 for his contract, He wanted to remain in the Hub, where be broke into the Ameri can League and which still con' aiders him its own. But Colonel Rupert appeased him by doubling his salary, and with the important money, Ruth became and remains an innate New Yorker. Ruth hit 54 home runs in 1020, his first year with the Yankees, batted .376. and Jam-packed ev ery park in which he appeared In 1921, he hit 59 and batted .378. That was before the lively ball He was a sensation. The Polo Grounds were tailor-made for the big fellow. He had brought his World Series habit with him, and the Yankees were in one at last. The Yankee Stadium was be ing built to accomodate his huge following. But Ruth was a natural on Broadway and the white lights got him. which was bad, for the Bam did everything as he smack ed the ball In a gargantaun manner. He went for everything. including the flowing bowl, ac quired a reputation as an automo bile speeder. Defied Judge Laodls Ruth thought he was bigger than Commissioner Landls. and went off on a forbidden barn storming tour. He went in vaude ville at S3000 a week, got a worthless $25,000 check for a movie auickie. "Headin Home Colonel Ruppert gave nun tne first of this famous contracts-five contracts-five years at the then unheard of baseball salary of $52,000. The wild and wooly Ruth hadn't known that there was that much money in the world. Ruth did as he pleased, en Joyed life to the fullest, and it caught up with him In 1922. Judge Landls kept him out the first five weeks for barnstorming against orders. He had his tonsils removed in mid-season, was set down for throwing dirt in an um pire's face and chasing an ab usive fan through the stands, wound up hitting a measly .118 in another losing World Series with the despised Giants. It was during the winter at a dinner that James J. Walker, then a state senator, told Ruth that he owed it to the kids of America to reform. Babe Ruth promised to come back end did!

If You Had a Dog Named Lena Maybe She'd Steal Show, Too By JACK CUDDY NEW YORK, Feb. 14 U.R Many world champions have appeared ap-peared at Madison Square Garden; Gar-den; but seldom has, one caused as much comment as Lena, the champion mother of dogdom. Lena is the little foxhound that broke all bow-wow birth records by having 23 puppies in one batch. During the three-day stand of the Westminster kennel club show at the Garden, thousands visited Lena and her amazing litter 22 of which are still alive and nearly nine months old. The show closed last night Lena of the tawny pelt, long flapping ears and pinkish snout took this massed attention in good grace, except when smirking matrons remarked: "Why, the dear little thing is In whelp again. She should be given an 'E' for production." ' At these - repeated wisecracks, Montgomery Beats Hudson LOS ANGELES, Feb. 14 (U.R) Cpl. Bob Montgomery, the Philadelphia Phila-delphia and New York lightweight light-weight boxing king, showed the effects of a four-month ring lay-of lay-of last night but found his range in time to pound out a 10-round decision over bouncing, bobbing Cecil Hudson. The Quaker City and Gotham champion, on furlough from Luke field, Ariz., was temporarily stymied by Hudson's weaving, Jerky style and for six rounds was unable to tag the Los Angeles fighter. it seemed to the imaginative writer that Lena grimaced in boredom, as If to imply: "cut out the corn, lady: can tne corn." Lena held court from an elevated ele-vated stall or "bench," somewhat aft of the large fenced enclosure that confined her 22 youngsters. Their entire layout was at the end of the huge Garden basement that sheltered most of the 2,650 yapping, yap-ping, barking, baying pooches in the show. Visitors noted immediately that all of Lena's offspring were splotched with black markings, whereas there was no black on Tawny Lena. This difference was exDlalncd by Lt cmar. Newooia Ely of the Coast Guard, their i owner. ! Commander Ely said, "Lena is an American-Welsh foxhound. Her grandmother was brought over fronr Wales. Lena was mated with a hound of the Penn-Mary-del type, named Kirkwood Call. He had black markings." Kirkwood Kirk-wood Call is owned by Mrs. M. Roy Jackson, a Joint-master of the Radnor hunt at Radnor, Pa. How did Commander Ely explain ex-plain Lena's record batch of pups? "We don't attempt to explain It." said the talL dark-haired man In blue. "Everyone was. and still is amazed at it: particularly because it was Lena's urst liner. She's only two years old how. you know. And she's a comparatively small animal. The previous rec ord? Oh that was , 21 puppies. Jield by a Great Dane whose name I've xorgoxxen. nearly au the dane's pups digd in their first week. The only one that Lena lost died two weeks ago, from cause not yet determined.
