Leonard Dobrow, a rising young

he resorted to the telephone a week

RUTH HAS ABscEss ON LEFT
 ARM; MAY NOT PLAY

New York, Oct. Babe Ruth was suffering tonight from a severe ab- scess on his left arm, which his phy- sician said made it doubtful if he could get into the game tomorrow and may prevent him from playing for several days.
 During Thursdays game Ruth stole second and then third, sliding into the latter bag and bruising his ei- bow. The injury became infected while he was playing. It caused him so much pain in today's game that he with drew after getting a base on balls in the eighth inning leaving Chick Few ster to run for him.
 An examination of the injury was made tonight by Dr. George D. Stew art.
 Tt is doubtful if Ruth will be able to play tomorrow he said. T am go- ing to examine him arm again in the morning. The abscess is right at the elbow and very painful. Swing at the ball would irritate it and cause him much pain"
 If the doctor says I can play TT be the first player on the field" de. | clared Ruth. "But I have suspicion that the doctor is going to keep me 1 out of the game. I'll be at the grounds anyway roofing for the boys to win.'
