j ! RUTH'S SUSPENSIO ~~ SPO | ‘And Now Have Killinger, x! Penn State Football Star Home Run King Wants to Forget About Judge Landis’s Pun- « ishment Until Suspension Is Finally Lifted—Guessing at Identity of New Boxmen. ABE RUTH has informed Miller: Huggins that he will be ready | »to accompany the Yankees South. He intends to train with the t€ati and take part in all the exhi- wifion games during the spring. This permission was granted by Judge ‘Landis under the terms of the pun- ishment meted out by the High Com- misioner of Baseball, despite the at Ruth will be unable to play ‘championship game until after (22, 1922. lukgins leaves for the West to-day witht the three-cornered deal in which Bobby Veach will come to the Yan- kees and Johnny Mitchell will go to Detroit still hanging fire. Huggins did announce, however, before his departure that he has signed Glenn Killinger, Penn State's All American quarterback. Killinger is an inflelder of great promise. A deal is also about to be compicted shortly in which the Yankees will ac- quire the services of two of the best pitchers in the American League. Huggins and Ed Barrow refused to tel-who these two pitchers were, but it-was rumored around the Yankee ofti¢g that the two men in question are Sam Jones and Leslie Bush of the Boston Red Sox. These men will be traded in the three-cornered deal between Boston, New York and Detroit. Zn. disoussing nis punishment in the Yankee office yesterday Ruth eyinced a disposition to forget the edict of Judge Landis, which de- priyes the Yankees of the services of not only Ruth but Bob Meusel and Bill Piercy, who accompanied Ruth on i Host+season exhibition tour in violation af ‘baseball law. His only anxiety deemed to be that the case be permitted toe a natural death and that he him- gif, be allowed to get into playing con- dition as soon as possible and to 50 remain unt’ his suspension is lifted, ‘All of wi.ch would seem to indicate that Ruth either was misquoted in the Weshington interview, which had him declaring ho would have something to “ater about the Landis decision, or Seg the big fellow has thought better of “[ have vaudeville bookings that will carry me through to Feb. 15," Rutn fald yesterday, “but after that 1 will pack my kit and head South with the Fest_of the boys.

WASHINGTON, Pa., Dec. 20.—The character of the W. and J. football practice yesterday was moulded along lines which indicated that Neale had taken heed to the warning that had been flashed from the West to “be- ware of Califoria’s forward passes.” So many warnings of such a persis- tent natur@ have come along the same line that Neale said belteved California must “have some- thing” on all of them in flinging the ball via tho acrial route. At any rate he is taking no chances, and yester- day began to bulld his defense againat passes, The practice came close to being a real scrimmage, although Neale did not exactly characterize it as such, He called it a “dummy” acrimmage and kept the players at work for two ours. — WVordham Defeats Cathedral Five. ‘The Fordham basketball team won its first game of the season at home last defeating the Cathedral College in the Manhattan Casino Court by core of 38 to 26.
