'Ruth Rejoins Yankees for Five Final Games Babe Predicts A. L. Champ Will Make Quick Work of Cubs in Series; Gomez Great Money Pitcher and Will Produce in Classic. By Times fiprrinl PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 21. —"We won’t need a seventh game in this world series,’’ said Babe Ruth, the famous convalescent, today. Babe, who has been out several days with a threatened appendicitis attack, rejoined his New York Yankee teammates, American League champions, here today, and will play the final five games of the season. "Don't misunderstand me. I am not underrating the Cubs," the Bam continued. "I appreciate that they have some fine pitchers in Grimes, Bush, Root, Malone, Smith and Warneke. But remember this—most of our power is lefthanded and Charley Grimm hasn't a single southpaw. No, I do not figure Jakie May. They tell me he’s so fat he looks like

an alderman. “There seems to be some doubt in the newspapers as to Lefty Gomez’ winning for us in the series. Well, that kid will come through. He looked tired late last season when we had to win that game from the Senators to finish second. He went in there and stood them on their cars. Gomez is a great money pitcher. Don't worry about Goofy.” And here’s another item of interest. Babe is experimenting with anew bat, with a handle about as slim as it possibly could be and the weight in the head. “Yes, lam going to try the Hack Wilson model,” the Babe confessed.

“If you meet the ball squarely with it, that leather sails plenty. But if you don’t get the meat of the bat on the ball, the stick cracks. It’s a somewhat expensive type of bat for me. but I'm willing to try anything, even with my long experience. You never stop learning.” When it was suggested that he might take it easy until the series, the Babe exploded. “No! That's no way to get your strength back. I’m in good shape and I am going to play nine innings today and keep right on going the rest of the season. The best way to train for nine inning games is to play nine innings.”

U. $. SOUNDS OUT EUROPF IN JAPAN MENACE What Will France, England Do? Is Object of Trip by Senator Reed. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Sept. 21. Alarmed over the growing peril of being left alone to face the wrath of warlike Japan for seeking to block her path to* conquest, the United States quietly is moving to find out where the principal powers of Europe stand in the dangerous far eastern conflict. Upon the result in a large measure depends the future course of American diplomatic action. While there will be no fundamental change of policy, the method and extent of dealing with the Sino-Japanese situation will depend upon the amount of backing the League of Nations in general, and Great Britain and France in particular see fit to give existing pacts. Senator David A. Reed of Pennsylvania is acting as a sort of special envoy of the administration, sounding out the leading European powers and to make known the American position. This delicate service he is in a better position to undertake than our regular ambassadors to London and Paris. He can act unofficially and unobtrustively, yet what he says and does will carry full weight. Fifth in Ranking Senator Reed is one of the most important members of the senate foreign relations committee. Numerically, hfe ranks fifth among the Republican members, but for present purposes he may be said to rank first.' He is intimately acquainted with French and British statesmen. He served as American delegate to the London naval conference in Is3o. From the beginning of Japan’s invasion of China last year, Britain and France never have appeared more than lukewarm in support of the peace treaties. With the United States and Japan, they were the principal signers of the njne-p6wer treaty safeguarding the political and territorial integrity of China, but it never has been quite clear just where they stood. They have appeared to hold back. Similarly the council of the league, of which Britain and France are the backbone, has appeared td move slowly and reluctantly. After the first rush of events, the United States somehow was allowed to appear always in the lead to check Japan. Named Commission The chief act of the League of Nations was to appoint a commission to investigate on the spot and report. The report will be submitted’ to Geneva Saturday—more than twelve months afer Japanese troops invaded Manchuria, . after Japan had changed the name of Manchuria to Manchukuo, and after she had recognized the seized territory as anew state and virtual protectorate. Cables from Geneva indicate it

THEY TELL ME

Boy, Page Janus 'T'HERE can be no doubt about it now. The Republicans know how to attract all voting groups. Following the precedent set by the Republican candidates for President and Vice-President, the ordinary rank and file members of the party are playing the part of the double-faced Janus. Records speak for themselves. President Hoover, in his acceptance speech, made a plea for the wet vote, a bit coyly, of course, but still a plea. A few weeks later, Charles Curtis. dubbed by Heywood Broun the “educated Indian,” made his acceptance speech, and in it voiced a frank and open plea for dry support. . Now we find the Indiana members of the G. O. P. trying to get the votes of both the theists and the atheists. ✓ Last week Frederic]* Schortemeier, former secretary of state, and spellbinderat large, drew forth the gorgeous descriptive phrase which pictured President Hoover as ”a great financial engineer sent by God to lead the way during the present crisis."’* That was a swell bit of oratory. t X M • But some of the local Republican strategists, in a moment of genius, thought that Schortemeier’s mention of the Deity would lose the votes of the atheists. So, to offset this possibly injurious situation, the Irvington Republican Club, the membership of which is composed of east side statesmen and public job holders, had read at its meeting Monday night the famed Indianapolis speech given here in 1876 by the apostle of the atheists, Robert G. Ingersoll. That’s what you call salving everybody. u n Both wets and drys should be won by the speeches of the national leaders; and the theists and atheists both attracted by the Schortemeier and Ingersoll speeches. Now, if qnly 'a couple of Republican orators would take both sides of the question on whether tightening a belt when you are hungry is efficacious, all the voting groups in the country should be satisfied. Os course, that won’t fill empty dinner pails—but why bring that up? " 1 * S4B Stolen by Pickpocket After being jostled while standing on a street car loading platform at Illinois and Washington streets Tuesday, Earl Mitchell, 408 South Webster avenue, reported to police that S4B had been taken from his trouser pocket. will be at least six weeks before the league acts on the report. Another long and strange delay. Japan officially has. announced that, come what may, she will not back down in Manchuria. George Bronson Rea, American “Adviser” to the new Japanese protectorate, in the United States on his way to Geneva, declared that Japan has certain fundamental rights to do as she has done.
