Ruth s Value to Red Sox

Ruth's value to the Boston Red Sox
has been strikingly demonstrated
since he threw off the traces and quit
the club when it was here some ten
days ago. Yesterday. playing first
base for the Hose, it was his triple
and subsequent single by Whiteman
that gave Boston the only two runs
OF the game and enabled il to take
FOUR out of Ave games from the In
Ruth got back into the game In
the aNernoon contest of July 4. He
got but one hit and did nothing SEN
sationai, but the following day he
drew pass in the tenth inning that
developed into the winning run for
Boston. and on July went to bat
with the score 4 to 2 against the Hose,
drove out a triple that registered the
two men on base at the time and tied
the score and then registered the win
ming counter when wild throw to
flag him at third bounded to the
stands. Then Monday, with Strunk
on flrst and the Sox deadlocked in the
tenth with the Indians. he drove the
ball into the bleachers in right field
at Fenway Park. Under the rules of
base ball he could be given only a
triple. Had two runs been necessary
to win. this wallop would have been
his twelfth home run of Sthe season.

longer than the French, British and
Belgian fronts combined-more than
45o miles.

Base ball leaders, Clark Grifhth
among them. have been looking for
q definite interpretation on the status
of the pastimers. None has been
forthcoming. but the local manager Is
confident a decision will not be long
deferred. and said today he intended
taking the matter up with the proper
authorities Immediately. 1t is possi-
BILE that through desire to do nothing
which would interfere with the major
league campaigns this season the
status of ball players until after the
season ends. tho athletes being per-
mitted to continue at the work for
which they are best fitted by reason
If appeals from the orders to engage
in a useful pursuit or shoulder
is the case, however. He contends
that a uniform ruling one way or the
other would let the players and the
magnates, too, know where they
stand. 1t would relieve the suspense.
He believes that II there is to be no
more base ball 1t Is only fair that the
men to whom the game represents big
that they can set their house in order
as far as possible. A denite ruling
here undoubtedly would be generally
recognized everywhere by the draft
boards, but until such decision is
made none connected with the ma
tional sport can feel anything but
doubt and uncertainty.
Judge intends to appeal from the
order he has received, being a mar
ried man with family. Manager Grif-
nth today said he intended to call at
the War Department and take up the
matter with the proper officials in an
effort to obtain a ruling on the status
of Judge and the other members of
the club in the draft age.
Base ball is asking no more than
it thinks is due it," Griffith said to-
day. I'VE are not seeking exemption
for ball players such as that accorded
members Of the theatrical profession
and persons concerned with the pro-
duction Of moving pictures. We be-
lieve it 10 eminently fair and Just that
base ball players should be called to
the colors when their time comes. but
it does not seem equitable that men
granted deferred classihcations for
good and sufficient reasons should be
required to leave their positions, espe-
cially when 1t would mean the break
ing up of business with millions of
dollars honestly invested before there
was any hint of the coming of condi-
