RUTH TOO PRECIPlTATE

New York. Oct 1N.-Tudge Landis'
decision in the Bnbc Ruth case is ex-
pected here in few days, as the Com
missioner has intimated. This infor-
nation comes from Leslie ONonnelI,
the Commissioners secretary, who left
for Chicago last evening
At the same time disposition Of the
cases of Meusel Piercy and Sheehan
will also be made. According TO O'Con-
nell there will in all probability be q
change made in the ruling and 1t Will
likely be left to the individual clubs
if they desire their champion teams TO
barnstOrm. In discussing the matter
he said

rooms and Informed the players Of both
teams of the existence of the rules.

waiting for any thing else to be said,

Lands to do but stand firm on the
rule. Had the players pctitioned him

The major league club owners were
here. and he could properly have put
the matter up 70 them with his recon-
mendatiOn that the permission be
granted. Judge Lands whole record
since he has been Commissioner shows
that he is u friend Of the players. One
mans pigheadeGnoss. however, brought
about the present situation.

ford, who hold between them the ma
tional championship, the national quail
flying gold medal and the doubles
championship" Of these United States.
The outcome Of the morning treat
was what might be termed a complete
surprise, or something like that. Gull
ford, the siege gun of golf. was out
driven by his partner on eight of the
eighteen holes, but despite this distance
gained from the tees, only one hole
was won by this combination. Guilford
had trouble with his drives, pulling a
number to the left.
Hunter. of course. was the big fea =
ture, with four holes to his credit.
Marston also came through in great
style by coping two holes. Ouimet
won one. but Guilford was blanked.
Hunters Score Best
Hunter had the best score Of the
quartet with 20. Marston and Ouimet
were tied with II and Guilford trailed
with 7S.
A large gallery followed the players
over the course. Tickets were sofa NJ

a forward post last year and subbed
at center once or twice.
In addition to the quartet already
mentioned, Coach Eddie McNichol will
have Pos Miller and George Danny
Sullivan, both sterling substitutes, to
fight it out for the fifth place on the
team. provided the. others can show
enough form to continue to hold their
places. Both Miller and Sullivan saw
action last year and showed big league
ability in their play.
McNichol will also have Rudine. a
substitute last year. and the entire
freshman five Of Label Goldblatt. Des :
sen. Brew. Leopold and Jimmy Nc
Nichol and Jim Brydon, now with the
varsity football team.
Goldblatt and Dessen played bril-
liantly on the yearling team last year
and should make the veterans hustle to
hold their posts. Goldblatt is one of
the most finished players TO ever show
on freshman quintet. His work last
first magnitude. and it would not be
at all surprising to see him work his
way to a regular post.
Jim McNichol is the fourth Of the
famous family to be candidate for the
Red and Blue varsity He Is lighter
than any of his brothers who have pre-
ceded him, but his alertness and un-
canny eye will make him valuable
substitute for his brothers team.

Danny McNichol. tho star Of three
PENNSYLVANIA basketball teams and one
of the few three letter winners ever to
represent the University. will coach the
freshman team this year. Little is
