WHAT HAPPENED TO RUTH
Five Distinct Injuries Keep King of
Swat Out of World Series.

New York. Oct. 12.-Babe Ruth. out
of the world series because of injuries,
is suffering from five different hurts.
any one of which probably would be
sufficient to keep many players from
the game.
Here are Ruth's injuries:
Infected upper left arm, in which
surgeons have made a three-inch in
cision. The original injury was suf-
fered in the Cleveland-New York
series. The wound was torn open
twice in the games of Sunday and
Monday and the arm is badly swollen.
Sprained left knee, suffered in mid
summer, has never had enough rest to
regain strength.
Pulled tendon on Charley horse"
in right leg; torn loose again Tuesday
when he scored from first on r.
Meusers two-bagger.
Sprained wrist caused by falling on
his arm when sliding bases.
Strawberry" or open sore on his
hip caused by sliding bases and con-
stantly reopened.
Ruth says he could stand the pain
and would play but for the warning
of physicians that constant aggrava-
ton would spread the infection in his
arm and make another and more
serious operation necessary.
