YANKEE OWNERS WILL ABIDE BY RUTH DECISION
Republican A. p. Leased WIrel


 BUFFALO, N. Y, Dec. 5-The pen alty imposed on Babe Ruth and two other players of the New York American league team for disregard ing an order against playing in exhi- bition games after the worlds series, overshatowed all else in interest among baseball men, here today, for the twenty-first annual meeting of the National Association of Profes- sfenai Baseball leagues.
 Deals for players, President M. H. Sexton's campaign for greater econ omy in the management of smaller leagues, and the possibility of rein tating the draft system, were tenn porarily side while magnates and players discussed Commissioner Landis' ruling 4ntl its possible effect on the national game next season. It was the generally expressed opinion that best interests of the game de- manded disciplining of the players and that the penalty imposed would have the effect of putting a stop to a'nstormang aftpI- 1t-~,--e A-.- series.
 Colonel J. c. Ruppert and Colonel | T. l.. Huston. owners of the Yankees said that they would abide by the ruling.
 The national board of arbitration today took up 126 cases of disputes oyer contracts, releases and other is- 1 sues growing out of the seasons play in 26 minor leagues. Nine cases were disposed of today.

TOday,s Sport Angle

Failure to. play properly for certain hitters allowed many ground balls to go safe that would have been easy outs. Inability to complete double plays often enabled team to put over the winning runs after the side should have been retired. Likewise, the master mind of Gedeen, who was constantly directing the play of the team, was sadly missed.
 Yes, they laugh at you when you say that a certain player is just about the whole team. It is usually argued that club can get along without this or that player no matter how valuable he may be. That is true, but while the club is getting squared away the loss of that certain athlete plays havoc with the team s chances. - No better example than the case of Joe Gedeon could be of fefed.-B.

Comebacks Play
 Important Part
 In Major Races

Comebacks played prominent part in the major leagues last year
 The most sensational. of course, was Red Faber of the Chicago White Sox. He was the most effective pitcher in the American league.
 The work of Babe Adams with the Pirates was just about as brilliant. This veteran of many campaigns was a big factor in the fine showing of the Pirates.
 Joe Bush, who was believed to be about all in, was a wonder with Bos- ton. At times he had as much speed as he ever had. Incidentally, he pitched with rare intelligence.
 Two stars who didn't go very big last year were Grover Alexander and Walter Johnson. Some say Alex ander has passed the peak of his greatness. It will be interesting to see what these two pitchers do next year.

Is it possible for one man to make or break a ball club? The idea that one man can make ball club is often secuted. However, there is no deny ing that the loss of one man can very often break ball club. I have in mind the case of Joe Gedeon and the St. Louis Browns of last summer. Gedeon was one of those players who did his work without much show. Therefore he never received the praise due him. Praise that would have been showered on a flasher infiefder. I had always rated Joe Gedeon second to Eddie Collins when considering valuable second sackers.
 Had Joe Gedeon been with the St. Louis club last sumffier, the Browns might have won the pennant, In the early Spring at least IS games were lost out of the first 50 because of the lack of finished, experienced second baseman..

Majors Bidding For Player Who
 Failed 2 Times


 Giants is generally considered one of the greatest managers in the his tory of the game.
 McGraw is supposed to be an ex- cel1ent judge of ball players. One need only glance at his record in the majors for proof of that
 However, the greatest managers very often make mistakes. They often turn some player adrift who later develops into a star.
 The case of Arnold Statz, who was the sensation of the Pacific Coast lea gue; is an excellent. example of that truth. 'z
 Statz was a. star at Holy Cross four or five. years back. Jesse Bur kett was coaching Holy Cross at the time.- Burkett and McGraw are pals. The fact that Burkett believed Statz had a, fine chance to make good in the majors caused McGraw to pay the collegian a fancy salary to join the Giants.
 McGraw is a manager who takes snap action. Statz is a very small fellow. McGraw usually likes big fellows. He soon decided StatZ wasn't q big league possibility.
 Waivers were asked for him. His fame was best known to the Boston Americans, since Holy Cross IS le- cated at Worcester, Mass, about 50 miles from Boston.
 Statz received a short trial in the American league and pronounced lacking. He was sent to the Pacific | Coast league. He was the sensa- ton of that circuit last year. Now number of major league clubs are bidding for his services. ...-.s.-.s=- AMERICAN LEAGUE MEETS 14TH CHICAGO, Dec. ,. + The annual meeting of the American League Will

WOMEN COoPERATORS FAVOR
POLITICAL ACTION

The Women's cooperative Guild,
nominally the educational auxiliary Of
the British cooperative movement,
and actually the handspring of It's pro-
gress. opened on June 10th its 18th
annual Congress in Manchester, Eng
land, with an attendance of 1860 del
.egates. representing $4,000 women or
ganized in 700 branches throughout
the United Kingdom. The Manchester
Guardian" calls the Cooperative
Guild the largest democratic organ
ization of women in the country" and
the action taken by this Congress JUS
titles this high tribute. The two ma
jor themes of the Congress were peace
and political action to secure economic
reforms. The president of the Guild,
in her keynote speech, laid bare the
sensationadl failure of the govern
ments of the world, applying only the
ideals of competitive commerce and
4 competitive politics, to restore peace
and decent standard of living" The
Congress also called upon the British
Government to secure immediate peace
with Ireland by negotiating with her
elected representatives. After review
ing the futility of expecting political
reforms through the old established
political parties, the Women's Guild
declared in favor of an alliance with
the Labor Party, which alone is pledg-
ed to the fulfiIlment of cooperative
ideals.
