INJUSTICE TO Sox

Boston, January 5.--President Harry H. Frazee of the Boston Americans said tonight that he had sold "Babe'' Ruth to the New York Americans because he thought it was an injustice" to keep him with the Red Sox, who were fast becoming a. one-man team" He did not make public the purchase price.
 Ruth, who is the world champion home run hitter, recently returned his three-year contract, which called for 9 payment of sl0,0e8 a year, without his signature, demanding a much larger salary. Mir. Frazee said that he would use the money obtained from the New York club for the purchase of other players and would try to develop the Red Sox into winning team.

Reuther, Once Cast Off By
 Cubs, Is Much Sought After
Chicago Nationals Offered Reds $25,00O for Dutch Story of Reuthers Connection With Reds-Car-
 pentier Good Fighter-Give Your Bat Rest
Bx JAMES J. coRBErT

Just the other day the Cubs offered s25. GO for sDuteh" Ruether-the very same left-handed pitcher whom they cast adrift two years ago for the sum of $500.
 The story of how the seuthpaw, who ranks now as one of the most wonder fui in the game, became Red, is one of the interesting incidents in baseball an nals.
 The Reds, under the management of Christy Mathewson. were playing in Chi eago Along in the eighth or ninth tn- ming the Cubs got three on and needed three to tie. A ieft-handed pinch hitter was sent to the plate and promptly cracked out triple.
 sWha is he?', asked Mathewson.
 -Ruether-a pitcher Matty was told. ssNot much of a pitcher-far too wild. But he certainly can bust that basebali.'
 A shost time later when the Cubs asked waivers on Ruether, Matty put in a bid and got him for the waiver price of s15oo.
 Even if can't pitch, commented Matty, he's worth s150o as a substitute hitteF.''
 When Pat Moran took over the man agemeat of the Reds he asked Ruether to show him what he had in the way of left-handed deceivers. Ruether did.
 Lots of stun but no eontrol-and no confidence in yourself" commented Pat. s'But well. fix that"
 And Pat and Dutch did-fxed it Sd beautifully that Ruether became the lead- ing pitcher of the National and caused the Cubs to offer s2s 600 for their "castoff."

US. May Seize Foreign Ships
Plan Curb on Rum Runners
Internal Revenue Officers Considering Invokaton of Libel
Provisions Of Vosead Act Against Vessels Bringing
Liquor Into United States From Abroad
International Compl cations May Result

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-(By AS
sociated Press. Seizure and sale
of foreign ships violating American
prohibition laws is under considera-
ton by the Bureau of Internal Rev.
enue as a means of curbing liquor
smuggling Officials of the bureau
are represented as seeing no solu-
ton to the problem other than
through invoking libel provisions of
the Volstead act against ships bring
ing in liquor.
Evidence gathered by Federal
enforcement agents is said to have
disclosed that masters of foreign
ships frequently conspired with
their seamen to violate the prohibit
ton laws. The supply OF alcoholic
beverages has been greatly increas-
ed along the Eastern seaboard by
this means, 1T was said.
NSeamen Involved.
The Bureau is understood also to
have discovered definite connection
between foreign seamen engaged In
smuggling and "whiskey ring
through which the smuggled COM
modify is marketed.
The Volstead act provides especi-
fically for confiscation of vehicles
of transportation employed in viola
ton of that law. Bureau oficials
were said to feel that although Tor
eign complications may result, they
should take steps in that direction
in order to control the traffic. No
estimate has been made OF the
amount of liquor thus reaching
American "bootlegers" but officials
are agreed it has reached large pro-
portions within the last six months
Technically foreign ships are
within jurisdiction of American
laws when inside the three mile
limit. This makes them liable to
ccnfiscation at any time contraband
goods is found on them.
Unique Plot Barred.
Certain foreign shipmasters are
alleged to have employed unique
method of defeating prohibition
The reports revealed it was stateo
that pay of seamen had been re
duced to nominal amounts and II
some cases to one dollar week II
lieu OF more pay, the seamen wer'
permitted to lay in stocks OF liquor
in foreign ports and deliver 1t II
American ports.
While questioning of masters al
ways has brought denials, Officials
here were said to be confident o
the existence of such conspiracy
since the pay reduction has beei
made without protest from the sea
men.
A case on record in the Bureau
was said to show that foreign sea
men on one ship had smugglet
through approximately 500 quarts
of Scotch whisky purchased abroad
for about one dollar a quart ant
sold here at more than $40 quart
