By GAYLE TALBOT New York, April 21. JP) Robert Moses Grove settled back behind his long today and discussed the Babe Ruth situation. "No sir," he said, "there's no good way to pitch, to that fellow. All you can do is breeze it In there and hope he doesnt connect. If he does it's likely as not to be a home run.

"You he continued, "it's not so easy on lis pitchers in this league. That lively ball travels and there isn't much use in a pitcher trying to win a game by himself these days. He's got to have a lot of hitting behind him.

If he doesn't get it he's not going to win many games. "Look at the games in our league. Most of them are running to. high scores, but the pitchers are having all the best of it in the National." It was suggested that he. Grove, would have himself a picnic with the other league's less explosive pellet.
