RUTH WILLHAKE PUBLIC APDLOGY Home Run Hitter Sorry for Remarks About Hudging New York, B8ept. 1 (A — Bahe Ruth, the Yankees' home run king, eannounced today after a conference with Colonel Jacoh Ruppert, owner of the team, that he would publicly apologize for his derogatory state- ments concerning Manager Miller Huggins, Ruth sald he would immedlately &0 to Huggins and make his apolo- | gy. The conference lasted half an hour and the "Bahe” emerged smil- | ing . More penitent’ than belligerent, ‘Babe Ruth returned to New York | today and immadiately extended the | olive branch to Colonel Jacob Rup- | pert, owner, and Miller Huggins, | manager of the Yankees, who sus- pended and fined the former home | run king $5,000 for “misconduct off | the field.” Prior to hearing from Ruth, | Colonel Ruppert had been closeted | with Huggins and announced ' that he would hack tha little manager to corner him he was hustled to the slugger. Ruth arrived today from Chicago on the Twentieth Century TLimited but before * newspapermen could corner him hewas hustled to the Concourse Plaza hotel. | There Ruth wen to the bedside of his wife, who has been under the care of two nurses as a result of | & partial breakdown, Shortly after- | ward he recelved newspapermen, first explaining to them that Mrs. ‘Ruth’s condition was chiefly due to published reports about his e capades and that there were differ- ences between them. He said he assured her it was “all bunk.” The idea of the $5,000 fine im- posed upon him still annoyed the slugger. He referred fo it repeated- 1y as “too much,” then joked about it giving him a new record in base- ball. “If T'd been batting .400, this never would have happened,” he sald. Indict Qfimlal Walter Cohen, negro comptroller of customs at New Orleans, was one of elght prominent officials there in- dicted on charges of conspiracy to violate the prohibition law and liquor smuggiing.
