Brooklyn had the edge over the Giants in last year's series, winning 12 out of 22 games played. Against the Yankees in the spring exhibition contests the Su- perbas won 8 out of 14 played in the south and on the home diamond. Boston had decidedly the better of the Phillies during the 1921 season but Manager Wil- helm has injected new material into the Quakertown combination and should of- fer stronger opposition than was the case last_year. While the New York Americans will be without the services of Babe Ruth and Bob Meusel they should have a slight edge over Washington, especially as Walter Johnson is not likely to be on the mound in the Initial contest. The Yankees todk about two-thirds of the 1921 games from Washington. Boston and Philadelphia had a nip- and-tuck series last season and while the Red Sox appear stronger than the Ath- letics, Connle Mack's combination may jump into a lead at the expense of the Bostonians in the initial clash. BLUE CEEWS LEAVE TODAY FOR PENN REGATTA Derby. Conn., April 11.—Yale's three varsity crews leave tomorrow for Phila- delphia, where they will meet the Penn- sylvania eights on the Schuylkill river next Saturday.

The shells covered six miles and practiced racing starts. The Yale crews—varsity, junior var- sity and 150-pound—are scheduled to practice on the Schuylkill on Thursday and Friday. On the Yale varsity crew are four men who were in the sheli which beat Harvard last year. These are Free- man, stroke; Haldeman, No. 7; Gibson, No. G, and Leslie, bow.

BABE RUTH EXPECTS TO- REACH 200 MARK SOON Though Judge Landis's severe pen- alty will prevent Babe Ruth from bettering his 1921 home run record of fifty-nine, the bgi New York slug- ger should reach his two hundred home ,run mark during the coming season. No other major league play- er ever has come anywhere near the double century mark in home runs. If Ruth should get thirty-eight home runs this season he will reach the two class. As the Babe will be out for five and a half weeks he should just about hit thirty-eight homers at the rate he travelled in 1920 and 1921. Ruth, however, will have one great disadvantage. By May 20 t=~ nit all in great shape, while Ruth il have no experience hitting inst experienced pitching. The on- practice he can obtain will be by 1y hitting _against second string pitch- ing during the! morning practice. Ruth’s home run crop at present stands as follows: Year runs 1915 4 1916 3 1917. 2 1318 11 1919 29 1920 R 1921 57 %2 364 SUSPENSION OF “BABE” RUTH TO BE ENFORCED New York, April 11 (By the A.

The close was unsettled at 3-4 to 2 cents net lower with May 1.31 3-4 to 1.31 7-8 and July 1.20 to 1.20 1-8. Corn finished un- changed to 1-dc off; oats unchanged to 1-8 down and provisions unchanged to a setback of 20 cents. It had boen expected by many wheat traders that in view of yesterday's ad- vance in values on this side of the Atlan- tic, the Liverpool market this morning would show an upturn. Disapoointment in this respect was emphasized particu- larly by a dacline in sterling and by ad- vices of disturbed financlal conditions in Greeco. Besides ewport demand was slow, and the view was pressed that all known bullish factors had been fully dis- counted for the present. Better milling demand at St. Louls, Kansas City and Omaha helped some- what at one etage to rally the wheat market here, but toward the end of the day a renewal of weakness became evi- dent owing more or less to gossip that two Minneapolls mills were offering to sell In Chicago hard winter wheat which had been purchased in the southwest. Selling of 100,000 bushels here to go to store was also a late depressing factor, especially as to the May dellvery. Un- favorable crop reports from parts of Kansas were virtually ignored. Persistent ralny weather made the market for corn and for oats relatively steady. Business, however, lacked vol- ume, Provisions as a rule, were lower in line With hogs and on account of increasing stocks of lard, s primed by long gruelling training in | the south, will be seated in the grand ! | petition.

Out= side of being “on hanw’ ue wis we wi little good. Repressing his tears, Miller Huggins, the midget manager of the Yankees who piloted them to a championship last year, dolefully sald today that Ruth and Bob Meusel the player who was suspended with him, wili- make the trip with the team ang if the regulars have the opportunity for morning practice, the twg_“prisoncrs will be out chasing fungoes and Lat- ting a bit. But therell be no fans on hand to see—Ruth will be in toial eclipse. “Suspension” means, among other things, according to Huggins, who cer- tainly has examived well inlo it, that | Ruth must remaia off the playing field during league games and the playing jfield includes tke players’ bench. The | Babe will have his choice of the grand | stand, the bleachers or a housetop, He has chosen the first. Ruth will don a Yankee uniform on May 20, at his Polo Ground home, and be permitted to stay on the playing field to his heart’s content, and, if he is in condition Huggins will stick him into the batting order for his 1922 debut. It may be that Ruth will not be in condition. “That's what is worrying me.” Man- ager Huggins said today. “Unless the team practices every morning, Ruth and Meusel will get no practice, be- cause they can't practice by them- selves.” When Ruth returns to the game he will have 13 appearances with only one break in New York city and that for a three day stop in Washington, On June 4 the team will open a long road trip in Chicago, remaining away from the Polo Grounds until July 2. Ruth is universally acknowledged to be the greatest figure in baseball to- day. He is paid the highest salary of any athlete in the history of com- His mammoth salary came to him with the flip of a coin. At Hot Springs. Ark., on March he dickered with Col- onel Huston until both reached a “last stand”. Then Ruth offered to gamble and he won a five-year contract. Despite the piles of petitions and soul pleadings that have reached his ear, Commissicer Nindis—who is on the best of terms with his “pris- oners” has declined to lift the sus- pension. And all that Ruth can do is wait and keep his waistline down. GAMES TODAY AMERICAN LEAGUE St. Louis at Chicago. Detroit at Cleveland.
