RUTH MAY BE TERMED
AS AN "0UTLAW" BALL
PLAYER BEFORE 1922

Chicago, Ills, Oct. 9.--The three ply
swat Babe Ruth took at the men in
organized baseball may make him an
outlaw when the 1922 season opens.
l. The home run slugger told his
employers. Coils, Huston and Ruppert
or the Yankees, that he was going on
a transforming trip when the world 8
series had been finished. This was
against a rule laid down in last win.
ter's agreement, stating that mem.
Der OF a championship club would not
be permitted to play post season
games and Coils. Huston and Rupert
pleaded with Bambino to be a good
boy. Babe refused.
2. Judge Lands, high commission.
er of baseball, took hand and told
the 1921 hero that dire things would
happen II he broke the rule. Babe was
adamant.
g. Finally adamant Babe broke the
rule and played baseball game In
Buffalo for money.
AS a result of these three infrac.
tions. baseball magnates and fans
throughout the country, according to
dispatches received in Chicago, look
for King" Lands to unseat King"
Ruth The baseball commissioner
yesterday had not decided on the
punishment to be melted out to Ruth,
or ii he had, he kept It to himself He
said he would issue a formal state
ment within the next few days
In the event Judge Lands decides
to suspend Ruth because he refused
to permit himself to be controlled by
organized baseball out of season. then
the fans may have an opportunity OF
watching Babe play as an outlaw"
1t Is foregone conclusion that the big
fellow will not remain idle, and ii is
a foregone conclusion that there will
be men able and willing to back the
star on a trip around the country.
In some quarters il is feared that
Ruth will fail in war with organized
baseball. 1t is pointed out that play
ers who previously have defied the
rules of baseball and set themselves
up as outlaws" have been unable to
retain their prestige.
Ruth, however, is appealing to pub
lie opinion and ii may be that his
punishment may not be as severe as is
generally expected.

BIG SURPRISE ON PRINCETON
IN SATURDAYS BATTLE--MEck.
ENsTocK TO BE BACK IN FULL
BACK POSITION.

With only two more nights Of scrim'
mage left for the local high school
football warriors before their big
game with the Princeton eleven next
Saturday afternoon at the Princeton
gridiron, keen interest is being shown
by both the members of the team and
by local followers Of the game, and
are wondering how they will come out
following their IA to 10 defeat by the
Pontiac squad. TIE hearts OF the
devotees were greatly lightened when
1t was learned that Meckenstock
Carey, Farrell and all the rest OF thp
performers would be in the harness
for the big affair.
Then. to make 1t all the more in
teresting, 1t Is rumored that o. II. 5.
Is going to uncork big surprise ana
give Princeton and other teams in the
Illinois conference that will play the
Ottawans In the future something TO
sit up and think about. Smith an
nounced the discovery OF several
new stars among the student body CT
the school who didn't even attempt to
make the team. These men will make
their first appearance tomorrow night
for practice, and If they show up good
enough they might get into the affair
by Saturday
The lads went through grueling
practice last night, which lasted until
darkness fell Every man was on his
toes and displayed bit OF pep anG
courage that those on the side lines
couldn't help but admiring. Farrell.
whose drop kick last Saturday in the
Pontiac Ottawa game threatened for
time to cinch victory for the local
eleven, practiced bit on drop kick
ing and forward passing.
Meckenstock, who has bad char
ley horse" only went drought light
drill. and for most of the time watch
ed his mates hit the line and mix
things up In preparation for the game
Saturday.
Schoch, Captain Carey and Johnson,
other back field men, also displayed
some exceptionally fine talent and
II they play next Saturday like they
have been practicing during the past
week Princeton is sure to go down to
defeat.
As for the quarter back fight be-
tween Bobby Carr and Clyde Dough
erty, 1t hasn't as yet been settled.
Both midgets are fighting hard for the
permanent berth, and it looks as
though Smith will have to give them
both chance, alternating them the
rest Of the season. Dougherty, OF
course has it over Bob for callins
signals and might possibly be bit
header when In tight places, bur
Carr is not to be outdone and is put
ting up stiff fight for the position
In the game with Pontiac last Satur'
day he showed his caliber when he
uipped onto nice forward pass for
a thirty-fve yard gain and then on
kickoff dashed down the field for a
distance of seventy-five yards before
being tackled by Pontiac defensive
man.
