YANK C0L0NELS
WILL SUPPORT
LAND|S' STAND
Huston and Rupert Regret De-
fiant Attitude of Ruth and
Companions.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-All doubts
as to what position the two popular
owners of the champion Yankees
would take in the controversy between
Babe Ruth, their star batsman, and
Judge Kenesaw Mountain Lands,
high commissioner of organized base
ball, were dispelled yesterday after.
noon. when Col. Jacob Rupert and
Col. Tillinghast l.. Huston issuedk> a
statement to the effect that they will
uphold the rule which prohibits word
series players from participating in
exhibition games.
Although they are not in sympathy
with the regulation, the local club
owners insist that 1t must be enforced
as long as II remains on the statute
books of the major leagues and they
will give their complete support to
any measures which Judge Landis
might take in order to punish the o.
Tending nlayers.
If Path is permanently banishrd
from the ranks of organized baseball,
or even IL he Is suspended for any
period. his absence from the Yankees
lineup will mean a considerable finan-
cial loss to the two colonels. Despite
this fact the owners of the American
League champions, who have been
among the most loyal supporters OF
the commissioner, will endure the loss
rather than allow their players to
violate any rule OF baseball.
The controversy. therefore, resolves
itself into an issue between Judge
Landis and Ruth. When Babe and his
companions on the transforming trip
are called to task they will have TO
reckon with Lands without the sup
port Of the owners of the club; rather
the support of the two colonels will lie
on the side of the commissioner.
The statement issued by the owners
of the Yankees follows:
1T is regretable that the rule OF
baseball prohibiting members of the
world series teams from playing ex-
hibition games has been violated 80
defiantly by some of the Yankee play.
ers that Judge Lands has no alter
native but to meet the situation
firmly.
This rule appears to be unjust in
many respects, but as long as II exists
1t should be obeyed. The players
made the mistake in not petitioning
for a modification of the rule.

Some baseball players seemed dis
posed to regard lightly the various
laws drafted by the governors of
baseball.
Especially is this true with refer
ence to the rule against playing ex-
hibition games with men who are
rated ineligible by organized base
ball. and against transforming. by
members of the transforming
clubs.
the players an impending revolt
against baseball government.
The players may as well realize
now as later that the baseball pub
lie is quite likely to side with the
government. particularly with that
government represented, by Judge
Kenesaw Mountain Lands.
The average, fan firmly believes
that Judge Lands saved baseball at
a time when IT stood in dire need
of a savior.
The average fan firmly believes
that any action taken by Judge
Lands is designed for the best in
terests Of the game.
The average fan will decline to
believe that Judge Lands would do
anything unfair to a ball player.
II behooves the ball players, there
fore, not to do anything unfair to
Judge Lands.
IL there is any merit in their con-
tentions against the baseball law,
Judge Lands win probably discover
a means of adjudication. But his
record does not indicate that Judge
Landis is apt to take a flouting of
his authority quietly.
This writer is generally found on
the side of the ball player whenever
1t has looked as IL the player was
getting the worst of it from the
magnates.
In the present instance, however,
there appears to be no serious in
justice, and the best advice we can
offer the young men thinking of
taking issue with Judge Landis is
not to monkey with the buzz saw.
