REUTHER NOT IN WINNING STRIDE If He Hits It With Hot Wea ther Brooklyn May Giv?* New York and Chicago Hnn for Pennant. By JOHN" It. KOSTF.lt Ctfrrigftl, 1121. l? Th? Adtancc New York, June 24?The most Jl>appointing "good" left hamlet! pitcher in mujor league baseball? that is Ruether of the Brooklyn Nationals. When ever Ruether is expected to pitch exceptionally well and thc| .team seems to have foun?l its footing] on the-slippery surface of the league race, along comes Mr. Ruether und flounders around like an unshod mule in a bog. If Ruether is going hack. Brook lyn will not need him much longer, i but there is always a grave belief that he isn't going back physically, and that he simply does not get J there when expected to. In 1919. Ruether won 19 games, and lost six for the Cincinnati club j and was one of the big reasons why Cincinnati won the championship. j That year he looked like the coming major league left hander. Ever i since then he has had the same ap pearance. but he never has arrived at the point of stardom. It has been his fault that he has failed, because at various times he has. beeu at odds with his bosses. It might be thought that the five years which have elapsed since Rue ther made his high record would have taken a lot out of his arm and added a lot to his stability. Neither has happened. The players who face him when his arm is going well say his arm is as good as ever. But he inn't going good often enough. If Ruether were pitching the ball this season that he did in 1919, the Brooklyn club would be a certain factor in the championship race. The Brooklyn outfield is not only good, it is dangerous to opposing pitchers. High has developed Into a surprisingly good second baseman. Stock helped out the very ragged third base side of the Infield and Fournler continues to bat as he did in 1923, which is a constant help to the team. Vance Is one of the pitchers who has a chance to win the league pitching record (or the seaion. If Ruether would come through, Brooklyn would give some other clubs an awful run before the season's end. To date. Reuther. has won five games and lost seven. He has not begun to pitch as hard as Grimes, who has gone through the same number of games, and he has failed to meet the expectations of those who see in him a potential left han der of Rube Waddell calibre. Brooklyn's pennant chances seem to hand almost entirely on the de velopment of the admirable pitchers popessed by the club. None in the league are better on paper. It Is possible that the advent of hot wea ther will help. The race has developed far enough to make It evident that the Giants are not to be beaten by anything of average speed. But they could be beaten by class. And Brooklyn has that class potentially. One string of, say ten successive victories, and Brooklyn would be the most dangerous rival that New York or Chicago could have for a finish fight, for the skill and experience of her pitchers would be a telling fac tor.

It wa< the Leader stroke which in i U? them better. Anil it was the L adt r >troke. applied for a year !<?n g? r at New Haven, that contributed largely to Yale's* margin of superior ity. Friday's race vindicates the; prediction made by the .writer last >ear that the advent of the Leader ftroke at Yale meant a realignment; of the rowing game in the East. And Harvard's gallant rare shows how appreciably she has profited by transplanted ideas. Had Yale not been a remarkably finished product. the catastrophe which hung as a cloud over many Yale adherents before the race, namely a defeat which had been made to go to the Olympics, would have tunc a reality. Hoih teams showed the character istics of this Leader stroke of a steadier application of power, rather than viciousness of catch or finish. And the blades of both crews were In the ;iir a shorter time. Hut hero Yale hat a little advantage through greater familiarity with the stroke.

That's why the majority invariably tells "Stand Made in the CarolinnN Ask the service station owner why he carries "Standard" Gas oline. Eight to one he figures it the best simply because "Standard" has been longest in the game. Sound common sense in that.
