October 18—A de- cision in the Babe Ruth post- season case by Judge K. M Landis, base ball commissioner, is expected within a few days, and the general impression prevailing here |today was that Ruth will be let off {with a suspension long enough to keep him out of a few of next sea- son’s games without pay. i “What goes up must come down,” said Judge Landis. “I notified Ruth two_weeks ago that the rules pro-| hibited this sort of ghing.” New York dispatches received here indicated that Ruth Wwould receive no support from the Yankse club owners in his controversy with the Jjudge.
