RUTH BACK IN PASTIME AND
 HITS FLY

New York, April 2T-Herb Thor mahlen almost threw a ball game into the grand stand at the Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon. The Yankee sidewheeler picked up a bunted ball in the fifth inning with Washington runners on first and second and heaV- ed it against the grand stand boxes, both runners scoring on the toss Those two runs had the Yankees beaten until the ninth inning. when Charity and O'Neil of the Senators evened up for the Thormahlen throw, the Yankees squeezing out vic tory in the final frame, 8 to 2.
 It was a wild ninth inning for the Monday crowd of about 5000 fans. Some fine opportunities to crash to the front had been passed up by the Huggins troupe in the sixth and eighth frames, so the fans held no high hopes that a promising start in the ninth would be turned to advantage
 With Washington leading. to 1. a hit by MeuseI to short started New York's half, and Ping Bodie stopped the march toward the exits when he slashed, a line single to right. Bobby Roth fun1bled it momentarily, but Meuse1 did not make his break in i. time and had to be content to rest on second base.
 Then came a shout that echoed across the Harlem river. Big Babe Ruth, supposed to be under doctor $ care for another week at least, am bled to the plate to swing for Mud dy Ruel. The appearance of Babe while Bodie was at the plate drew a cheer, but some of the bugs were suspicious. They thought the home | run king might be a decoy, to worry Eric Ericksen, the Washington pitch CT. When Bodie delivered his smash Babe went to the plate. 7 Higgins, coaching down at third | base, decided to change his tactics MeusePs failure to grab off an extra base made sacrifice desirable, and Babe wasn't wanted for such pur- poses So Rue1 went in to do his own hitting, and Ruth stroI1ed back to l the bench. RuePs attempt at a sac rifce was a fivver, his pop fly to | Ericksen being more of a handicau
 than a help.
 Again Ruth made his journey to the plate, while the crowd roared it's sec
 ond welcome to the King of Swat.
 The first pitched ball eluded Ruth,s
 pat' as he took a good swing, but the
 DE fellow showed no signs of pain
 from his effort He crashed into the
 next, and the bulb sailed to deep Jeff
 centre, where Sam Rice gathered il
 in. Down to third raced MeuseI at-
 ter the catch, and when Rice pegged
 to head Bob off Bodie steamed aJone
 to second.

Golfers Find Cost
 of LabOrefs Mounts

New York April 27.-Now that the golf clubs have swung into ac- tion for the busiest season since the game was first played in this coun- try there are many devotees of the sport who wonder what the effect of the abolition of the '+nineteenth'' hole will have on the organizations. In the days before prohibition the reve- nue from the cafe was a big item at most of the courses in helping the general upkeep of the links. Practi- cally every club in the country has increased the dues, but this is really not because of the absence of the bar, for the stewards say that the traffic in soft drinks is increasing g every day and that the profit-derived from their sale is even greater than it used to be from the hard liquor.
 Furthermore the members prob ably save enough in the course of a year from what used to be spent at the nineteenth hole to more than make up for the increase in dues. The chief reason for the advance in the cost of playing golf comes from the eXorbitant demands of 1aborers who are necessary to keep the links in condi ton. Where a few years ago it was possible to get all the help necessary for $2 a day, few will con- slider anything less than $5 a day now.

 Previous to last year, Gaston had achieved slight fame as a speedster and it was said by those who were not kind1y disposed toward the youth full star that he had light foot" But if that were true he surely got confidence in himself, for last year he would take no ones dust while there was a wheel loft on his car. His. jump into the 1inelight was sensational, three startling victories marking his debut in championship ranks.

Later in the year he made an average of 1OS95 miles per hour over the same track. when the won the 150-miIe La hor Day event. Teanning with. Joe Boyer. he won the 225-mile race al the Unfontown track, and he was sixth in the list of drivers in all races for the year.
 He showed marvellous driving ability in the 1919 Indianapolis race when he was neck and neck with Ralph de Palma and his brother Lou&, in a daredevil exhibition thai brought the stands to their feet At the climax of the struggle his right font wheel snapped off, but Inc brought his car into the pits safe Iy.
 In the qualifying rounds before the race last year, he travelled a lap at z speed of better than 100-miles pel hour, being one of the magic seven tC accomplish this feat He was eightH in the race

ADMINISTRATION IS
WINNER, REED AND
z OTHERS UNSEATED

SAN FRANCISCO, June o9.-Ad-
ministration supporters strengthened
their hold on the Democratic national
convention through a series of victor
les in the credentials committee which
decided three hotly fought contests.
One of these was the denial of a
seat in the convention to Senator
James Reed, of Missouri. The Clark
Howell delegates, in Georgia, pledged
to Attorney General Palmer. also
were seated. Both actions were in &C.
cord with previous decisions of the
national committee. The credentials
committee, however, overruled the ma
tional committee in the Oregon case
where it seated R. R. Turner and John
L. Schuyleman giving each one-half a
vote.
Turner. who was selected by the
Oregon state committee 70 fill va
cancy caused by the death of Georgia
T. Baldwin, was forced to yield half
of his vote to Schuyleman, described
as a strong administration supporter.
Schuyleman claimed the seat on the
ground that he was the next highest
man In the primary, having oeen n1tn
in the race for the four places.
Contests Are Long Ones.
All three contests were long drawn
out, and were marked by acrimoni-
Gus statements and bitter personal at
tacks. Chairman Jameson, OF Iowa.
maintained order with difficulty. But
the administration group reigned
when the voting came on each Of the
contests.
There was no indication from the
Reed forces as to their next move.
The senator was not at the hearing.
Francis W. Wilson. counsel, said the
senator's wishes could be consulted be-
fore further action was considered
He reminded the committee the
fight was being made entirely by the
delegation from the Kansas City dis
trict and that the senator never has
and does not make demand for the
seat"
