BABE RUTH GETS OUT
TO FINISH THE GAME
Home Run King After Day in
Jail Reaches Polo Grounds
to Play in the Sixth.

New York. June 9.-Babe Ruth, the
home-run champion. was released from
city prison at o'clock yesterday
after serving a sentence of one days
Imprisonment for violating the auto
mobile speed laws. and immediately
started for the Polo Grounds. Ruth
reached the grounds shortly before
4.30 o'clock. A policeman stood on
the running board of his car during
the trip, waving traffic aside. The
player went at once to the clubhouse
He wore his baseball uniform under an
old suit of clothes. As he stepped
into his torpedo-like car he was given
a wild ovation by a dense crowd that
packed the streets in the vicinity of
the prison.
Babe smiled at the reception and
drove slowly to the ball park.
Throwing on the clothes that cover
ed his uniform, Babe stepped up 10
bat first for New York in the sixth.
Tho crowd greeted him with gasp OF
surprise and then a burst of applause
II was Ruth's second appearance
in Court here within the last few
weeks on charges of speeding. At his
first trial. when he escaped with a
nominal fine. he promised TO be good
and observe the laws. Six days ago
however. he was caught speeding or
Riverside drive and arrested.
Babe lost some of his famous sunny
disposition when he heard Magistrate
House pronounce the jail sentence. He
had come 10 court prepared to pay q
heavy fine and had peeled of a 500
bill from a roll TO close the financial
end of his sentence.
In sentencing Ruth, the magistrate
said
i've been sending many chauffeurs
TO Jail for from five 10 Is days as
well as fining them. realize some
chauffeurs are earning but s25 or $50
a week and have families dependent
on their support. Therefore. il does
not seem fair TO allow prominent mer-
chants or society men or an outstand-
ing figure in the sporting world as
