Babes fame as home-run hitter
as the greatest slugger baseball ever
has known-has made him the idol OF
hundreds of thousands of boys-at the
age when their one ambition is to fol-
low in the footsteps of said idol. To
these boys Babe is all that stands for
greatness. What Babe does must be
right-in their eyes.
And, now they read that Ruth is a
lawbreaker The fact that he was
fined for such a minor crime as speed
ing in an auto doesn't lessen the Of
tense. He has created bad example
for the hundreds of thousands of hero
worshipers to follow.
Ruth, because Of his fame as ball
player. has reached that position
where he can no longer conduct him
self as Ruth would like to. He must
bear in mind that he is national in
stitution. He has the nation watching
him and the future generation of the
nation setting him up as an ideal. He
must conduct himself accordingly.

his Indians to three victories in four
games against the Tigers recently

and right-handed batting lineup. Harry

THEY CAN CURB BABE
CIV Associated Press,

BOSTON, May 3.-Infielders of the
Boston Red SoX think that bape
Ruth's hitting can be cut down. TO
this end they have worked out a de-
fensive scheme Of play that proved
effective yesterday.
The deplpyment, said to have been
conceived b. Stuffy McInnis, puts all
the nfielders back on the grass be-
yond the diamond The third base
man plays a bit to the right of his
usual position. The shortstop is al
most back of second base, and the sec
and and first basemen play what is
virtually short rightheld. The pitch
er is assigned to cover first base.
Ii it's first test yesterday the scheme
showed results as follows: First time
up. Ruth hit hard to the right of sec
ond base Pratt; position made pos
sible stop and throw that caught
the runner The next time Ruth
struck out but on his third turn at
bat the new defense was tried again.
Catching ! low curve with hard
swing, Ruth smashed the ball towards
rightfieId. McInnis. from his deep
position, swung across to make sen
satiorlal stop, backhanded and contin'
uing his dash beat Ruth by sliding
for first base.
Finding it impossible to pass the re-
ceded infield, Ruth on his fourth time
up. cracked another low curve into
the rightfield bleachers for his sixth
home run Of the season and only hit
of the game.

BATTLE WITH STALEy
TEAM AT DECATUR

DECATUR, Ill.,. May 3.--Rain and a
wintry wind stopped the Reds ano
the famous Staley team at the park
here Monday afternoon. much to the
disappointment Of 1000 fans. The
Reds arrived here at noon from st.
Louis and were met at the train by
delegation of prominent citizens.
It was cold but the Staley people
had advertised the game widely and
were determined to play it If possible
So anxious were the fans to have
The game played that they sent ma
chimes to the hotel in the midst OF
the downpour and drove the boys out
to the ball yard, but when Manager
Moran saw the mud-soaked field and
felt the chilly wind he ordered the
players back to the hotel.
Weather Don't Stop Fans.
In spite of the weather several nun
bred fans had assembled in the yard
to see the game. On any other day
the attendance would have been a rec
ord breaker for this vicinity. The
local club is an industrial team repre-
senting a large starch factory and has
a big following here.
Its manager is Joe McGinnity, the
famous iron man of the New York
Giants in the days when Matty was
m~his prime. Joe is through pitching
but has developed fast club.
The Reds remained here over night
and will go over to Springfield Tues
day where they will play the team
from there. Chances were very gloomy
as it was still raining Monday night
Leo Seifiert will pitch if the game is
played and Raridan will catch.
Moran sent pitchers Rixey. Luque
Marquard, catchers Wingo and Har
grave and Jake Daubert on to Chicago
so they can get good nights res,
before the series with the Cubs which
begins on Wednesday. Riyey will

Indians New Open Defense Play One Of Games Greatest Innovations
BY NORMAN {. BROWN.

The greatest bit of defensive base
bail devised since the main principles
of the game were conceived has just
been developed by the Cleveland In
dams under the leadership of Iris
Speaker
The play is designed to cope with
an attempt by the opposition to stag
a squeeze play when the bases are
populated and to trap the opposition
when a squeeze play isn't on the
boards.
The quickest way to explain the
play is to tell how it was worked re-
Gently against Ty Cobb's Tigers, in
the recent series with the Tribe in
Cleveland
The bases were filed with Tiger
players with only one out. DOME
Bush, leading sacrifice hitter of the
league, was at bat. 1t looked like the
logical time for the squeeze play.
Speaker hung out the sign for the
play and the Indian players went
through with it as follows: Pitcher
Coveleskie threw a pitch-out to O.
Neill. Speaker dashed in to second
base. Graney, in right, and Jameson
in left, closed in toward center field
to plug up that hole. Shortstop Sew
ell and Second Baseman Stephenson
instead of dashing to cover second.
moved toward third and first, respec-
lively. First Baseman Johnston and
Third Baseman Gardner had gone to
handle the sacrifice, woull recall.
Ir this position the Indians were
set for two plays.
In event of an attempted squeese
on the ball pitched, Catcher O'Neili
was set to kill the runner at home
or turn him back and help put him
ont in the rundown.
In event that the squeeze was not
tried the Tiger runner on second
belle ling that he could take a long
| lead off second because Sewell and
Stephenson had left the bag I'M
guarded, would be an easy out on a
quick throw from O'Neill to Speaker
on second.
In event that Bush connected for
a sacrifice all three bases were Gov

Menke is Indignant Ouer Trick
He Charges Used in Big Match

named 10 reputable referees in the
United States and said if Plestina
and Zbyszko could not agree, any one
Of the 10 on the list would be suitable
to him. But Herman opposed the
suggestion
Another provision read:
The contestants upon entering the
ring may instruct the referee to award
the $4,000 which each has posted to
the winner Of the contest
Notice the word MAY. There is
no compulsion attached to it. Zybsz-
10 wouldn't have to, under that
provision, bet a cent on himself. He
could if he so wished. If he didn't
want to-, he could draw down his for
felt. Marsh, in Directing to that
clause insisted that the word may
be changed to MUST. But Herman
wouldn't agree to that He wanted a
loophole on that $4,000 side bet
thing.
Would Get $1,000.
But the most remarkable clause Of
all reads:
For faithful performance Of the
terms and conditions of this contract.
plestina is to receive $1,000 from the
Coliseum A. c.
The match would draw a gate be
tween $4,000 and 100000. and the
Coliseum A C wants to give PlesIna
81 .0OO-not dollar more.
Marsh, in refusing that ridiculous
proposition countered with:
Let the club put up fair purse for
the wrestlers 10 shoot at Let it be
so per cent of the gross. Then have
the wrestlers split their share, 60-40
1925, 1920. 1910 or the winner take
all basis. I prefer winner-take-al1. II
Herman refuses to accept any Of these
offers l am willing that the entire
purse apportioned for the wrestlers be
given to the Red Cross, the Salvation
Army Or the fund for wounded soldiers
and that the men merely wrestle for
side bet. II Herman Is willing we
! will increase the side bet from 1O,CGO
up TO $4,000 without any strings at
| tached to it. The contest Is to be
best two falls out of three to a posi-
tive finish and the winner gets every
.. dollar of the forfeit money
"Or. if Herman prefers, I'll guaran
tee him s12,5Oo for Zby-szko's share
, of the gate, win, lose or draw and
let anyone other than Jack Curley OF
the Coliseum A. c. promote tine
match"
| The offer was rejected-as Will be
any fair offer involving match be
| tween Plestina and any of the Curley
group. And the reason is that Curley
realizes that Plestina would make any
man in the Curley group look like
| false alarm.

Nv FRANK q. NENKE

You may have read somewhere re-
Gently that Marin Plestina, the giant
Slav, had a chance TO wrestle Stanis-
laus Zbyszko, an ally Of the Jack Cur
ley wrestling 'trust'-and that Pres
tina ran out of the match All of
which is wholly untrue and brings to
light one Of the most pop-eyed tricks
ever attempted in sportdom.
The story is this:
Plestina. under mana cement Of J. o.
Marsh. former pilot of Frank Gotcil' :
graphing destiny, has been trying for
four years to get a crick at any ol
Curleys group. The chance was de-
'nied him even though Marsh has
offered bonuses of $1,n00 up to $4,000
TO various members of the Curley
group, collectable the moment they
stepped onto the mat
Public pressure finally demanded
that somebody in the Curley collection
go so far as to bluff meeting Plestina.
It was decided that Stan Zbysko
should be used as the medium. So
when Marsh, recently in New York
offered to bet $4,000 that Plestina
could beat any man in the world. Jack
Herman, manager for Zbyszko. opined
he'd accept the offer. He met Marsh
in Rochester y. Y. where Marsh
post ed 81 900 to bind the match.
Insists on Chicago.
Herman insist cd that the match
take place in Chicago, even though
Tex Richard was willing to hang up 4
SIS. 900 purse in New York. Herman
further demanded that it be Staged in
The Coliseum A. c. OF Chicago, which
is managed by Joe Coffey and in
which Herman is said to have big
financial interest.
Shortly after the $1,000 forfeit;
money was posted, Coifey sent tc
Marsh the contract for his signature
Never in all the history of wrestling
or any other sport was a contract sc
Heirdly drawn: never was there one
so tricky and unfair. Marsh baked
at it. That was what Herman had
Hoped fer. He had made the bluff
that would let his man wrestle Pies
tina and now he is insisting that
Marsh by refusing 10 sign the con
tract ran out on the match.
The contract has three of the
strangest provisions conceivable. They
are:
''Zbyszkc and Plestina shall choose
the referee. In case they cannot agree
, referee"
Club Would Choose.
Naturally, no man favorable II
, Piestina would be agreeable to Zbysz
ko. Therefore. it would be up to the
club owned in part by Zbyszkos man
