Chicago, May 27.—Babe Ruth was fined $200 and removed from the cap- taincy of the New York club by Ban Johnson, president of the American league. late yesterday afternoon. Johnson made his ryding after con- sidering the reports the umpires officlating in yesterday's game at New York hetween New York and Washington when Ruth disputed a decision of Hildebrand, the umpire, and later climbed into the stand after a fan had made a remark to which he took exception. Johnson's finding automatically re- moves the ruling that Ruth was in- eligible to play, which was promul- gated by the American league head pending a full investigation HAINES WITH I(l \lll\l- .

Though erratic at times from the tee the former Atlanta girl always had a winning margin and when the emergency arose her strokes were not found wanting. Her putting, particularly in the afternoon round, drew applause and her all-round play gave every indication of réunding in- to form which made her practically invincible for years in American women's golf.

The Electric Light baseball nine beat the City Hall nine in an excit- ing game at St. Mary's Playground last evening. Except for the second inning when Merian, the . City Hall pitcher;, went wild and walked five men, the game was played tightly all the way through. Al Schade, who relieved Merian in the second when the southpaw failed to find the plate, pitched airtight ball, but the misplays of his teammates counted for runs against him and he lost the game. Ellison’s hitting was the feature of the game, he getting two safe wal- lops out of three times at bat. Hé was declared out by the umpire for failure to touch third base when he was scoring from second on a hit. His teammates who were in the midst of a batting rally, allowed their en- thusiasm to lag and they lest the game. The score: Elec.
