Of the league should not feel humble
because of one postponed defeat.
-Four Clubs i'm Plight.
Four clubs find themselves in more
or less of a plight because they don't
know what to do about going ahead
for a possible world series. Cleve-
land has had experience along that
line and is said to have everything
set to take applica tions. If the others
wait until the last minute they will
be swamped. 1t can't be otherwise.
Almost all owners are more or less
superstitious about world series
They fear that if they take orders
for seats in advance the fates will
turn against them. Two or three
times it has happened that over
confident owners have begun to work
too clearly upon the big series and
their failure to win has imposed
cloud of fright upon some of their
contemporaries.
OF course. it is mighty eNasperating
to get right up to series and not he
able to walk into it. and il is just
as exasperating. if not more SO, to
get to a series and have to do all
the work in hours instead of days.

Eight runs have been scored against
Nehf by Pittsburgh in six games
Whether any jealous individual
might be inclined to say that Neh1
was the beneficiary of a lot of very
good luck has nothing to do with the
fact that such pitching is the highest
type Of skill. No team can win a
championship with that average and
a pitcher who can hold another team
to such a figure should be given
praise. He deserves it.
Nehf May Pitch Two More.
Indications point to Nehf to start
the. first game of the next series in
Pittsburgh for the Giants tomorrow
Should he happen to win he might be
started a second time in the same
series. because New York remains in
Pittsburgh over Sunday and he
would have two days rest.
Old base ball men insist that the
worm is likely to turn at least once
during the season. and predict that
Nehf cannot make it seven straight
against Pittsburgh. If he does it will
surely be lucfy seven for the Giants.

there is little likelihood that mem

the ineligible Chester players were with
drawn from the lineup. but failed to
realize that the Chester team itself was
outside the pale for having had ineligible

SUSPENSION FOR RUTH
WOULD WRECK YANKS
by JOHN b. FOSTER.

Babe Ruth has upset organized
base - about as effecrually as one
you~s '3.a player can upset anything.
Judge Landis he would do before the
world serlss started and has followed
out the pla7 which he told others he
intended to ..'ollow.
By playing base ball on Sunday on
field whic. is not within the con-
troll of org. a'zed base ball and which
is locate> - Buffalo. Ruth and those
who sto>L with him have lifted them
selves from the big organization au-
tomatically. In addition to Ruth.
there are Bob Meusel, Piercy and
sheehan of the Yankees. Mays and
Schang were to have been with them,
but both of the latter decided not to
join the move of the independents.
There is rule in organized base
ball which says players Of the teams
competing for the world series may
not play post-season games. This
world series teams in the past under
took such games under auspices
which were very Objectionable at
times. The ball player for few dol
lars identified himself with characters
of disrepute.
Rutn pOI Gne issue SQudIely UP "
Judge Landis The latter knew what
the player intended to do and the Sit
uation between them is acute.
Yank Owners Embarrassed.
The owners of the New York Ameri-
can League club are placed in most
peculiar position. Their team may be
wrecked for another year if suspen-
sion is visited upon Ruth. 1t appears
likely that suspension will be the
punishment rather than fine. be-
cause Ruth asserted he could get SO
much more out of exhibition games
than from any other source that ne
was willing to be fined.
A statement is to be issued by the
owners, of the Yankees. but they are
powerless to do anything if they
a abide by the ruling of Judge Lands,
as the head Of organized base ball.
= 1t is said that Ruth expects to- earn
at least $4,000 on his exhibition tour
and that he takes the ground that his
contract expired October Is anu that
no human authority has the right TO
abridge his earning power until ne Is
