KING OF SWAT
IS ‘DECLINING
A sporting page is no place to drag
in philosophy. llut to point out a.
moral. it is perhaps necessary. Early
in the last century there was a phil-
osophcr named Schopenhauer. whose
habitat was Germany and who was
the first to develop a philosophy of
pessimism.
Ho originated the term "schaden-
freude" which is quite unit-anslatabio.
but means that the majority of peo-
ple in the world get a lot of devilish
satisfaction in seeing other people in
trouble.
They like to see demi-gods thrown
from their pedestals. instead of be-
ing awfully sad. they really. according
to the sage Schopenhauer. are
“tickled pink."
Dropping Sum-a] Meters.
Which. by a drop of several thou-
sand meters. brings us to the question
which is agitating eportdom now;
“What is the matter with 'Babe’
Ruth? Is be losing his stride? Is'his
day over? Or is he in a temporary
slump."
Although the king of swat. the
kleagie of bins. the llama of licks
specializes in circuit clouts. he has
so far only two to his credit, while
Williams of the Browns has poled
seven.
Even Durst of the Browns. hitherto
unknown. has gone the Maharajah of
Mangiing one better. At this early
part of the season “babe" would have
to travel at. a terrino pace to over-
tnho Williams.
No Gloom “'iien no “'hlfls.
Here's where our old friend Schop-
enhauer comes in. scanning all on-
changes with an eagle eye. and fol-
lowing a personal visit to the Yankee
Stadium to lots the American League
champs in action against their alleged
less skillful competitors. the writer
has failed to see any gloom descend
when Ruth has failed to connect for
tom bssos. Instead. the so-called
idol has come in for a. considerable
booing and the pitcher who made him
whit! tho osone. or else pop up infield
flies. has received a great ovation. ,
In short. the great public and. .es-
peoiaily.the Manhattan fans have be-
como rather tired of the “Babo's”
reputation. and gets more glee when
ho trike- oiit than when he knocks
ono late tho bleachers. .
During the wash-oad series with
tho Athletics “Babe" got exactly three
hits. Rommeil. Mack's pitching ace.

ning. Tobey's slants were no puzzle
to the East Not-walk aggregation as
