RUTH GOES TO HOSPITAL
Boston's Star Overcome by Throat
Affection, Collapses on
Way to Park.

BOSTON. May 21.-George Babe"
Ruth. star twirler and sensational
batter of the Boston Red Sox. was
overcome yesterday while on his way
to Fenway Park and was taken to a
hospital. where physicians said he
was suffering from an acute throat
affection. For several days he had
been undergoing treatment and had
left . physician's once only a short
time before his collapse. When taken
Ill he was in drug store. The hos
pital authorities claim he will be'laid
up for several days. 1t had been ex-
pected that he would open the Cleve-
land series.
Ruth was purchased by the Red
sox in the spfing of 1914 from the
Baltimore club of the old Interna-
tional League. and during his first
season on the big time circuit he made
an unusual record for a recruit. His
effective work during the 1915 cam
paign was one Of the mainsprings in
the Red Sox's successful pennant
drive Of that year and their subse-
quent triumph over the Phillies in
the world series.
He repeated hts great work the fol-
lowing year, during which he took
precedence as star member Of the
Red Sox pitching stafr over such
luminaries as Dutch Leonard, Ernie
Shore. Carl Mays and Foster, and in
the world series against the Brook
lyn Dodgers his effective pitching
stood out above the work of every
other member of the Boston and
Brooklyn pitching corps. With three
years experience as an aid to de-
velopment. he improved to such an
extent last year that he was hailed
as one Of the greatest twirlers in the
history of base ball. Toward the end
Of the 1917 campaign he developed
into an unusually hard hitter, and his
work in this respect became such this
spring that he 10 at present leading

CEDEON SHOWS CLASS.

The feature Of the matinee yester-
day aside from shocker's sterling
mound wsrk was the batting of Joe
Gedeon. who turned in q single. dou-
BILE and triple for his share Of the at
tack, his efforts giving the Browns
three Of their four runs. His triple
was inserted in the third, after Tobin

. single to left. His double scored
gislsr In the ninth. The Browns other
tally was acquired in the fourth. when
Harper walked two and yielded three
hits.

the fans by his fielding as well as his
bat work. The Californian formerly

but when he was here he was a little
short Of experience to fit him for fast

he was farmed out to the Salt Lake
club. Griff had a string on him. but
when the Federal League offered in
ducements Joe cut the binding tie by
jumping organized base ball and
when the peace agreement was made
the Nationals lost title to him.
Harper's work in the box yesterday
was disappointment. After the
great argument he gave the White
Sox last Thursday the southpaw was
regarded as having reached a win
ming stride. but YESTERDAY he was
both wild and Ineffective. He was re-
moved in the seventh to allow Schultz
to bat for him. Frank was called out
on strikes. which reduces his pinch
hitting batting average to mere

well for three rounds, but was nicked
