Hitters took controlled swings and let the mass of the bat provide the impact to drive the ball through the infield Ruth took his big swing, struck out a lot, but hit both home runs and singles But he was a superman for those times Other players couldn't swing such a big bat so fast so they went to lighter, whippy bats they could swing like golf clubs They sacrificed batting average to increase swing speed, which suggests they could have hit mora humors it it had occurred to them lifetime home-iun- s next season or pereaily haps even late this season 714 But will he surpass Ruth0 One side says NEVER m circus poster letters Water hoMs down spillway at .Meeks Cabin lteser- oir into the Blacks Cork Itiier on north slopes f I It cites the fact that it will have taken Aaron more than 11 000 over 20 seasons to accomplish what Ruth did over 22 seain t!99 sons Thats 3 000 more opportunities for Aaron to hit a home run or six more seasons lintas.

Sisler hit 19 In 1920 Aaron swings a bat. The most common weight Some today is 33 ounces pitchers insist that nobody could swing a bat of Ruth's at today's size effectively but Dick Alien pitching, swings 40 ounces, Orlando Cepeda occasionally swings 42 ounces AAhat that boils down to is that only an exceptional man can swing a bat that big and Ruth must have been an exceptional man. His records indicate he outdistanced his contemporaries as a hitter by the distance between and Utica At the time Ruth was hitting his homers, nobody else was They were hunting and pecking lor single., while Ru'h was hitting the ball over the wall It wasn't until 1927 when Lou Gehrig, batting behind Ruth on the Yankees, hit 47, that anybody else in Ruth's league hit as many as 40 homers Rut as rare as home runs were then, averages were Coop-erstow- n I ulture walks Often a hitter of Aarons caliber has to swing at a pitch that in t a good stiike because he lias to tiy to drive in a rail rather than walk 2 056 Had Advantage Ruth had the advantage of Gehrig behind him He a No had the advantage of being m a pennant race every year which meant the pitcher had to divide Ills attention between the game ami Ruth .Aaron's Braves have been out of contention most of his recent yeats and pitchers could concentrate on handling him Aaron's time has also seen the elevation ot the relief pitcher to star status A specialist relief pitcher was virtu ally unknown in Ruth's time d Easy Targets hasn't had the most difficult home run taigcts in his home parks, either Balls carry very well m Atlanta, wheie he's played since and Milwaukee wasn t so bad But on the road, were Aaron plays hall his games, lies seen a new park built in all but one of the cities Almost all the new ball Darks aie 20 and 30 feet deeper in the power al'eys than they were in the old days A loud voice cries that Ruth hit 50 home runs in four seasons and Aaron hasn't done it even once, but that illustrates a change in the concept of the game. For instance, Ruth hit his both home run m 1927 with a runner on third, first base open and the score tied Theres no way you can imagine Aaron, with 59 home rails, getting a chance to bicak up a game in a situation like that Not even with I.ou Gehrig coming up next Basic strategy says to pitch hitaround the even if ter more than ever Ruth did amass the record of Aaron lii. The pitch called the slider has also been introduced to the pitcher's arsenal m tecent years and hitters think it s a tool of the devil It comes up looking like fastball and at the last instant moves out of the hitting zone like a Stan Musial called the slider the worst thing to happen to a hitter in his time half-curv- e The distance trom pitcher to hittei is still the same but the ball gets there quicker It s harder to hit than ever That's what makes Aarons accomplishment so enoimous In 40 years nobodys come Hit close to Ruth belore game-breakin- r ' Fair Fishing Johnson Reservoir was re- ported as fair for rainbows and cutthroats with bait fishLower Bow ns is ing best yielding some fair catches to trollei s re-p- s n of Fish Lake continues to be a n- good bet for rainbows glers also are picking up a few laige mackinaws WEST three-pound- significant Babe Ruth Part The Southeast Region said Valiev and Scofield were both slow Huntington Creek has been only fair Millsite Reservoir has been fair fishing for rainbows In Montana and most Ruth had the advantage of the short fence m Yankee stadium. which was tailored especiallv for his sweep The park was opened in 1923 when Ruth's home-ruthe figures were exciting so the right field crowds, fence was laid out at 2 feet Before that he played three seasons m the Iolo Grounds line was where the right-fiel257 feet Joes Dan-ski- Bob was selected by the the argument is the comparison of Ruth to Ills times ills totals as a home-ruhitter are so far ahead of lim contemporaries that comparison is a Stream fishing is impioving all over Utah as runoffs subside, the Division of Wildlife Resouices announced in its weekly fishing summaiv However, most of the fishing pressuie continued to be on nd the lakes and reservons extreme hot spell reduced the success of most anglers Southeast Region Foitunate-ly- , I I , ! n interesting arguments aie often the least conclusive and contrast the Compare one point in his fine presentation. showed a Sky Lab picture taken over Itah ' But then Aaron has outdistanced the men hes played against, too Ruth was among hitters the top five home-ruin his league It! times Aaron has been among the top five in his league 13 times Ruth's average was in the top five compaied to eight times, Aaron's 11 times Steve Jacobson Newsday Writer Bv f At ,?
