that the New York slugger will have

starting on April 12-makes it almost
impossible for Ruth to shatter his rec

years games for thirty-seven playing
days.
Deiiberated for Two Months
The decision Furnishing Ruth and the
16ther players, which, in the baseball
world, rests as the most important
5udge Lands has made since he became
cOmmmissioner, was made after two
-sitonths' deliberation. After the play
ers gave up their tour Judge Lands
sent each Il questionnaire, asking their
reasons for violating the rules of or
xanixed baseball.
The rule. enacted in 1911, forbids a
member of a team competing in the
worlds series championship from par
Gcipating in any exhibition games after
fhe. close of the series. Ruth replied
TO the auestionnaire, but neither Of the
others answered it.
Judge Lands, in his decision, said
the offending players "willfuHy and
defiantly" violated the rules and that
the situation involved not merely rule

WASHINGTON, Dec. Swell Just
let it go at that for the present" Babe
Ruth, champion home run hitter of
baseball, declared to-day when in
formed of the decision in Chicago of
Judge Lands, depriving him of his
share of the worlds series money and
suspending him until May 20, 1922.
The ball player was informed of
Judge Landis's decision in his dressing
room at local theater while prepar-
ing for his turn on the stage. He
said he could make no statement until
he had received the formal statement
of Judge Landis's action.
However, he advanced the belief that
he could not be kept out of his share
of the worlds series money, which
amounted, he said, to about $4,000.
"Ball players earn that" he said
Ruth did not indicate whether he
would apply for reinstatement, but
maintained that he would await word
from the commissioner before de-
termining his course of action

Mog..lls Express Regret
at Sad Chicago Tidings
By lack Lawrence

= BUFFALO, Dec. 5.--Babe Ruth's sus-
6-ns;on and fine overshadowed all the
preliminary discussions and jockeying
~ the annual convention of the Ma
4sonal Association of Professional Base
sball Leagues, which will convene here
1o-morrow. The news of Judge Landis's
seuling threw a resounding jolt into the
sthrongs of minor and major league
ssnagnates gathered here and resulted in
sznucn interesting comment.
s Major leaguers and minor leaguers
alike voiced regret over that section of
@Judge Landis's sentence which bars
ruth from participating in regular
xleague games until the afternoon of
MAY 81. The consensus of opinion, COM
sing mostly from disinterested minor
rleague leaders, is that the Babes abb
Y sence from the game, even for the pc
Z riod Of the Lands suspension, will woi K
y no good to baseball.

though it was generally known that the

The ruling from Chicago was conse-
& quently unexpected to-day, and it had
the general effect of disturbing the nu-
I merous small meetings of the minor
! leagucrs in which matters pertaining
! to the opening of the annual conven-
tion Tomorrow were being discussed.
While there was no tossing up of hats
or any inclination to give vent to vo-
ciferous cheers on the part of either
. Colonel Rupert or Colonel Houston
when the sad tidings from Judge
Landis's Chicago Office was broken on
them this afternoon, both appeared to
take the matter calmly when discussing
it with the writer.
Colonel Rupert said: "You can say
for both Colonel Huston and myself
that we shall abide by the decision and
that we have no comment whatever to
make"
Home-R Run Handicap
The news from Chicago was received
With no such bland diplomacy down

several hundred baseball men were
standing In groups discussing the past,

who were without any particular love

BY capturing the relay, the final and
deciding event of the meet, the Stuyve-
SAINT High School swimmers succeeded
in handing the City College freshmen
a 20 to Is defeat yesterday in the
c. c. N. Y. pool. Had the Lavender
cubs been victorious in this event,
which was the most thrilling contest
of the engagement, the decision would
have been reversed, 2S to 21, the relay
counting points.
The absence Of both Greenblatt and
Guernsbach, two freshman mainstays,
from the lineup weakened the team
considerably. and the only first place
the cubs could garner was the fancy
dive, which Rabinowitz, the Lavender

WYOMING DAY

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov. 30
That there Is more than a passing
interest In the observance Of wyo-

the numerous inquiries and requests
for material being received by the
State Historical Department.
A number Of womens' clubs in
Cheyenne and elsewhere. have signi-
fed their intention of celebrating the
day with appropriate programs.
Schools throughout the state are
also taking an active interest. A re-
cent letter to the department from
L. R. Foote. principal of the FIRE.
mont County Vocational High School
at Lander. says among other things:
I'VE are planning a celebration. or
better. a program for Wyoming Day.
December 10. The Federated Clubs
will assist the schools in the pro-

Wyoming film for that evening, one

Of wool and with approximately T.
600 900 pounds of foreign wool now

dumped on the local market. Chair
man Fordney and many other House
members were opposed to continu-
Ing the emergency tariff ,basing
their objection on the fact that such
action would delay the enactment Of
a permanent tariff measure. It was
with difficulty that the House was
induced to agree to the Senate
