Since he has read of the ball-slam-| ,, ming prowess of Williams, since he has been shown that the Yankees are more than a “one-man” club, sinte he has found that Commissioner Kenesaw M. Landis means to enforce the rules and since he has discovered what it means not to be allowed to play, it is reported that Ruth’s uni- form—ineluding his cap—fits better. But regardless of the intrepidity of Mr. Williams, who seems intent upon galloping past the Babe’s highwater mark of 59 home runs for last sea- son; regardless of the fact that Ruth has a “record”—as a baseball Sher- leck, if one there was, would term it the Krowned King of Klouter still th ride of Harlem and the biggest baseball drawing card the world has In the view of many fans the atti- de that Ruth has displayed .since g his “sentence”, from Com- oner Landis, the quiet manner in h he has conducted himself, his to “play the game” and his apparent determination to make up for lost time—all of this will bring as many people to the ball yards to sce him this year as did last. Elated Over Yanks’ Pace According to those who have the Bambino’s confidence he has _ been elated over the fast pace the Yanks have set without him in the line-up and now that he knows that he is a trifle more valuable as a magnet to Springs and got the Babe to sign a five-year contract calling for between $75,000 and $100,000 a year flat sal- ary. Babe Sat in the Grandstand Babe went to the training camp with the club and played in the ex- hibition games énroute home and at home, but when the club opened in Washington -Ruth sat in the grand- stand like President Harding. Since then he has practiced off and on, read the papers, travelled a bit, played golf, undergone a minor operation, and become glum and downcast, an- ticipatory and happy. He dons his uniform again today “better balanced,” as Commissioner Landis, who is now his very good friend, would say. . Ruth, unquestionably the greatest hitter of all time, has batted out 142 homeruns in the last three years. He scored four in 1915, three in 1916, two in 1917, 11 in 1918, 29 in 1919—break- ing the then world’s record, 54 in 1920, and 59 last year. His homerun hitting has become so prolific that it was suggested last season that he be handicapped by being allowed only two strikes or to bat only with one hand. Few expect that he will come near equalling last year’s mark, let alone establish a new record, considering that one-fourth of his playing time BABE RUTH IS | AGAIN IN GAME Chicago, May 20 (By the A.

U. TRACK TEAM TO . Grand Forks, N. D., May 20—The University of North Dakota track for the year is gone, although on May 20 last year, Ruth had collected only 12 circuit smashes, approximate- ly one-fifth of his total in one-fourth of his time. His attempt,, however, will supply interest for the ‘lagging period of dog days, [BASEBALL 1 Pee 2 DAKOTA LEAGUE, Won Lost Pet. 2 0 ~~ 1,000 : 2 0 1,000 Sioux Falls 2 0 1,000 Aberdeen .,..

The Babe was banished last fall by Commissioner Landis together with Bob Meusel,* another Yank whose achievement of getting 24 homeruns last year is seldom though of, for playing an exhibition game with the Buffalo International League team after the World: Series had ended, in violation of the rule ‘that prohibits World Series players from indulging in such exhibitions, Not only did Ruth and Meusel vio- late the rule but they did it after Commissioner Landis had_ personally talked with Ruth and told him what would happen in case the rule was violated. After that conversation Ruth expressed his determination to flout the Commissioner, and Landis, meet- ing the most severe test of his base- ball career, fore-shadowed what his decision, would be by saying: “It will be a personal issue between Ruth and me to determine which man is bigger in baseball.” With the 38 davs susension over it looks to base- ball fandom as if Landis is convinced that Landis is the bigger and that Ruth also is so convinced. As soon as he had: flouted Landis, Ruth was sorry, but he “had gone and done it.” Full of remorse and forebodings, Ruth hopped back to New York swore repentance and took a , Test.
