RUTH AND MEUSEL
 DEFY JUDGE LANDIS
Bambino and Bob Head BarnstOrming Team That Is Playing in Opposi-
 ton to Commissioners Orders.

Buffalo, Oct. 17.-If Judge Kene-
 saw M. Landis wants to go to bat
 with Babe Ruth over Who's Who" in
 baseball, ne can pick up his war
 club and step up to the plate. For
 the Bambino, in defiance of the com
 missioner'7 orders, played baseball
 here yesterday, appearing against the
 Polish Nationals, a semi-pro organ
 ization, in the first of his proposed
 transforming contests which the ar-
 bitor of baseball forbid to be played
 With Ruth was Meusel, Piercy and
 Sheehan of the Yankees. The barn.
 stormers won, to 3.
 Ruth issued the following state
 ment: Despite Landis' orders that I am not to play baseball on this barn. storming tour, I am going through with 1t to the end. It is not a matter of who is the biggest man in baseball with me. I don't see any reason why Judge Laadis should pick on me and the rest of the fellows to enforce a rule which has always been on the books, but which has never been en- forced until this year.
 'Landis called me up on the phone and told me of the order, but I came on here and played and I am going to keep on playing. Meusel and the rest of the team are with me in my decision. Far from hurting baseball, if this is what Landis is afraid these tours Is going to do, I am sure that | 1t will help the game. It will give the people a chance to see us in ac- l ton and will get them talking and keep up tho interest next season. I think I am in the right, and if Landis wants to pick on me and put me out of baseball he can do it. The tour is going on as scheduled"
 T am a professional baseball play er,'' said Meusel, talking of Judge | Landis order, "and I earn my living that way. Judge Landis should not forbid me picking up few extra dol
 lars after the regular season closes.
 [ am going through with this. and if | Judge Landis wants to bar us from | organized baseball for defiance of his | ruling he may do so. Both Ruth ano I believe we are right and that the public is with us in this"

From this point on the Colonels looked like easy winners until the International league champions came to bat and knocked Wright out of the box and put, five runs to their credit. Cullop was trotted to the hill and disposed of Bentley with a man on third. Manager McCarty changed in the next round when Manager Dunn swit.hed his lineup, and Tin cup, who won yesterdays game, fin ished without any further trouble.

RAMBLER TIGERS EASY FOR NU7MEGS
Locals Play Rings Around Hart
 ford Team Before Big Crowd

Sweeping the heavier Rambler Tigers team of Hartford off it's feet yesterday afternoon on the Vibberts' Field gridiron, the Nutmess won one of the best played games of the sea- son, 19 to 8. The visitors were out played at every stage of the game and the work of the locals was a revelation to the local fans. One of the largest crowds of the season watched the rout of the Hartford eleven, much to it's pleasure, with the exception of few hundred fans from the Capital city, whose altbies toward the close of the fray were ludicrous. After these fans had exhausted them selves explaining for the defeat of their favorites, their balm was in the expressions of confidence of what the All-Harford team will do to the Nut megs in case these teams meet this season.
 Locals Greatly Improved
 The Nutmegs have in the past few games shown considerable improve ment in play, but their work yester- day was probably the best exhibition ever displayed by Nutmeg team Strengthened in the line, and with F. Rarnikow, Dill, Carpenter, Scott and Talbot, playing alongside of Captain E. Barnikow, the locals proved a tornado on the offense and @ bulwarh on the defense. The acquisition oi Carpenter and Scott, the Bristol play ers was a good move on part of the Nutmegs management. A large dele gation of fans from the Bell City at tended the game, and joined with tho New Britain fans in roofing for Nut meg victory.
 Use Many Fresh Players
 The day was trif1e too warm fol | football, and the visitors took advan. tage of its squad of players, by rush. ing new faces into the line all through the game. The Rambler-Tigers used 21 players during the fray. Only Q few substituhons were made by the Nut megs One of these was due to littl4 melee staged between Captain Barni kow and Courtney, in which few ex changes were made with fists The epi sode happened in tho latter moment of the game. Joe Kenney took the loca leaders place.
 The Game
 l. The game opened 8 few minute after o'clock, with the Nutmeg kicking off to Pren,o who ran only short distance when he was nailed b. a Nutmegs forward. Several attack at the line showed the Hartford crow, that they were in for tough after noon. Connolly, O'Neil, Drose, Roger: Politis, Buchney and F. Barnikow, re sisted plunges into the line and at tn ends. Promo and .yVhelan. s.-.5 daal, Premo was forced to punt. Talbot re ceived the kick in the RambIer-Tiger territory. The Nutfnegs gained som ground, and Talbot then dropped bacl for a try at field goal. It failed b several inches. The ball was on tn 20 yard line in the Rambler-Tfger possession, and again the visitin

GILROY GETS A "SHINER"
Princeton Halfback Receives Blow in Eye From Referee McCarthy's Knee Following a Playing Scrimmage.

Princeton, Oct. 17.-A strange in- jury was received by Ralph Gilroy, Princeton's left halfback, in the game at Annapolis Saturday. No Navy player was responsible, but the ref cree.
 Gilroy, whose defensive play was one of the redeeming features of the day for the Tigers, was getting out of pile following one of the Navy's mass attacks. Referee Mccarthy rushed up at that instant to aid in the unsdra mbling. His knee and Gil roy's eye met in full impact, the result being remarkably perfect discolored optic. Later, MT. Mccarthy approached Gilroy and expressed his regret

Wesleyan has not resorted to trick formations and forward passes as much a1 might bo expected because of the inexper- fence Of tho team. Tho coaches havo been forced to drill their charger in the fundamentals up to this time, but acording to Head Coach Martin, there will be a different brand of football tried out on Andrus field this week.
