BABE RUTH IS RIDING BENCH Battering Bambino Is Benched Again As Result of Batting Slump New York. Auk. IS —XU.RX—'The belief that Babe Ruth is playing hi* !n*t season as a regular in the New York Yankees lineup gained strength today while the big fellow was warming the bench for the second time this season because of a batting slump. Because nf his large salary, his 39 years,, his dwindling batting average and his diminishing area of coverage In tlie outfield. George Herman Ruth probably would be one of the first to be affected by the shake-up which is virtually cer'ain to hit the Yanks if they i fall to retain the American league pennant. On the basis of present stand-| ings. the Yanks have a good chance to finish second. Evett if the Yanks win the pennant, there .

■ may be many changes during the I off-season. The Babe was not benched yesI terday by Manager Joo McCarthy, as was the case at Detroit on June 25. Ruth requested McCarI thy to let him “rest" for a couple J of days and try to snap out of his • slump In his last 39 times at bat in regulation games, the Babe connected for only seven hits. With Ruth on the bench, the l Yanks heal the St. Louis Browns, 8 to 5, thereby keeping pace with ' the Washington Senators, who still enjoy a five-and-a-half game 1 lead over the Yanks. It was a heartening victory because it was the first game on the Yanks' , western swing. Ruth produced a pinch-hit double in the eighth, scoring Bill ■ Dickey.

W. A. Klepper • then organized a series of district i school house meetings designed to encourage scientific dairying among i the farmers, and give practical t help in the improving of dairy ! herds. These local dairy meetings I were so enthusiastically received by dairy-minded farmers of the county and did so much to improve local dairy conditions that it was r decided to make dairy day a statewide institution. Indiana’s record in dairying is 1 one of the most outstanding in the 1 j dairy world, from the standpoint of 1 rapid growth in production and ■ high quality. 1 Get the Habit — Trade Home
