CLEVELAND, June 21.—After be- tng suspended for three days for his with Umpire Bill Dineen at "s game with Cleveland, Babe Rath was not satisfied and tried to ferce a renewal of the battle yester- @ay.

As a straw showing the Mirection of the wind, President John- @% of the American League was quoted as saying in Chicago that he thought Ruth's suspension would do ‘tie New York club good. “Returning after his suspension for barnstorming last fall, Ruth incurred the wrath of President Ban Johnson Of the American League by climbing the grandstand at the Polo rounds to assault a fan who had ied him, He was suspended for one my, fined $200 and deprived of his taincy.

Since returning to the game on May 20, Ruth has been of little help to the Yankees. He has hit seven home runs, but his batting average for the season |s only .287 and his feldine has been so wretched and at times so stupid that any other man would have been benched. Little apprehension is felt over the suspension of Ruth. The Yankees Played better ball with him out he line-up than they have vith him in, Until he and Meusel returned to the fold on May 20 the Yankees were leading the league with a per- centage of .667. Since he got back they have played .481.
