Judge Landis Versus Babe Ruth.
(New York World. )

There is rule in organized baseball, it appears. which forbids Worlds Series players to take part exhibition contests later in the It's rather unnecessary rule and has been strngently en- forced. Babe Ruth and Bob Meusel have broken it by engaging in transforming affair at Buffalo and now Judge Landis makes it plain that the penalty for infraction of the rule is expulsion from the game.
 From 8 purely unprejudiced point of view Judge iandis looks like the last who should question the propriety of picking little extra coin after hours on the side. He has transforming job of bis own He manages to eke olt modest living by acting as High Commissioner of Baseball SAP 500 year and earning $7,500 extra in his spare moments las a Federal Judge. There is no rule of baseball or law of the land to prevent Federal Judge from accepting offer from private interests that makes his official remuneration look like pin-money Pre- cedent, decency and common sense supposed to be enough to take of such matters. All these Judge Landis has disregarded
 If Landis big man the bench as is Babe Ruth at bat some special allowances might be made for him. What Babe Ruth does might as well be law in baseball for he is baseball incarnate this year. In his sphere his supreme genius is un- questioned. Judge Landis is an extraordinary Judge but extraordinary largely because of his He doesn't overtop his fellows.

Galesburg, ILL.,, Feb. 10.-The
fourth annual interscholastic track
and field meet of Lombard college
v ill be held hero Saturday, May Z.
with indications pointing to a rec
ord breaking list Of 800 contestants
entered in the competition.
The Lombard Interscholastic
meet has come to be recognized as
one of the leading track meets Of
the state, several high schools US
ing this as their letter meet and
men from these schools making
points in the meet are granted
their letter for track.
Last year more than $50 men,
representing 80 high school, took
part. II was necessary for the au-
thorities to close the entry list as
they could not accommodate, with
fairness, more than ESQ men.
Coach Carl Eggebrecht, however,
expects to take care of about SOC
men this spring.
The increased number can cas-
lily be handled with the extra IA
cilities offered by the new equip
ment and locker room in the gym
nasium.
