Dutch Ruether, recently suspended by
Brooklyn for breaking the clubs train
ing rules. had a chance yesterday to
pitch himself back into good standing
at Ebbets Field against the Cubs. He
lasted only five innings. In the first and
third innings he did not have control.
In the fifth the Cubs hit him safely
three times, one being home run by
Barber with two mates on the bases.
The Cubs won by to /.
Mitchell succeeded Ruether. The
Cubs made twelve hits off their COM
bined delivery. Elmer Ponder. who was
traded to Chicago by the Pirates for
Dave Robertson, hurled for the Cubs
and was hit freely, but with runners on
the base paths the Dodgers were help
less.
The Cubs scored one run in the first
inning. Flack and Hollocher drew
passes and Grimes was purposely
walked filling the bases. Barber forced
Grimes. and while the play was being
made FlaclS counted. In the third Hol-
locher walked and rode home on Terry's

Ponder received poor support from
his mates in the third round. when the
Dodgers pushed their lone tally over the
plate. Olson and Johnston singled. Oh
sons blow was hit to Deal. and when
Charley threw past first Ivan reached
second and moved to third on john
ston's hit. Griffin hit to Terry. who
fumbled the ball and then made poor

bag safely and Olson scoring.
In the fifth inning for the Cubs, Hol-
locher singled and scored from first on
Terry's second two Dagger. Grimes was
hit by a pitched ball and Barber drove
to deep right centre for home run

When the Cubs came to bat in the
sixth Mitchell, the left handed spitball
artist, was DOING the Brooklyn pitching

another run. With two out Flack

Hollochers one Dagger. Terry beat out
an infield hit and Grimes was retired
on a roller to Killduff.

The Dodgers succeeded in getting at
least one man on the bases in every
round, and the fourth inning was the
only one in which they failed to get

Good Fishing at KIondike Banks.

DETROIT, July 1s.-Babe Ruth to-day

forts and doubtless all of anybody else's.
The Yankees beat Detroit 10 to l. and
Ruth knocked in two of the runs in the
eighth inning when he rammed a man.
moth of a hit over the corner of the
centre field fence. 1t was his thirty
sixth homer of the year, his longest Of
this or any other year. and longer than
the recent homer by Harry Heilman. at
the time described as the longest ball
ever hit.
The Heilman hit, on the word Of the
ground keeper, was described as being
CLIO feet from the plate to where 1t struck
outside the grounds. That ball crossed
the centre field fence four panels of
fence from the corner. Ruth's went
over the corner, and II Heilman's went
610 feet Ruth's went $50. There may
be some exaggeration in these calculated
distances, for 1t does not seem possible
ball can be sent that far, but this ball
would have gone well up into the centre
field bleachers in New York.
Ruth says 1t would have gone over
them, but he's probably mistaken there.
Heilman said. Twice as far as my hit"
another exaggeration. but indicating
Holman knew it was considerable more
gigantic than his smash.
The fans gasped when they saw the
ball go, and they had no more RAGING
for the Babe. The fact is they had
turned In tickle fashion on their own
players and were scolding because Ruth
hadn't had previous chance to hit.
The policy was to pass the big bear. and

Comiskey, Angered, Leaps
at Attorney in Baseball Trial
Resents Question. as to His
Jumping Contract.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
CHICAGO. July 1S.--Charles A. Conis-
key, owner OF the White Sox baseball
club, was the Arst witness of the opening
day of the trial of seven former base
ball players and four alleged gamblers
charged with the fixing" of the 1919
worlds series. Comskey drew his coat
tails about him as he passed the former
stars as he made his way to the stand.
They looked UP at him In a pathetic
endeavor to eaten his eye, but he paid
no attention to them.
Comiskey furnished an unexpected
sensation when he suddenly leaned from
his chair during his cross-examination
and shook his fisi in the face of Attorney
Benedict Short. Attorney Short had
been questioning him with reference to
his baseball career
rs 1t not true. Mr.. Comiskey," he in
CURED. that when you left the Cincin-
natl National League club, of which you
had been first baseman and manager,
you jumped your contract?"
That is not true" declared the wit
Eess, leaping toward the attorney.
Other attorneys hastily interposed to
prevent what appeared to be an attack
on Attorney Short. Judge Friend ordered
the question and answer stricken from
the record.
II never jumped a contract and 1
never broke my word" Comiskey further
declared.
Before the State opened it's direct ex-
animation of the witness Prosecutor
George Il. German announced that COM
plete immunity Is to be given William
Burns as the price of his testimony.
Attempts by the State to save time
through an agreement with the defence
on technical proof such as the scores
of games involved, the organization OF
the different clubs and the salaries of
the players failed. The defence declined
to admit anything.
The questioning Of Comiskey then
began.
Comiskey was asked the routine uues-
tons regarding his identity, the existence
OF the White Sox Club and his connec-
ton with it. His replies were constantly
interrupted by objections from the de-
fence. They objected to his testimony
concerning the White Sox team on the
grounds that the team had not been
attacked and had not suffered through
tne offences set forth in the Indictment
They objected to a recital of his per-
sonal carer In baseball.
The witness related how the seating
capacity OF the White Sox grounds grew
from 5000 to $4,000 and that the value
OF che property in 1919 was from
$4,000 to 100000.
Attorney Short attempted to show that
the witness In each succeeding year
Win the exception Of 1918. made more
money on his ball club than I'm the
previous year. Mr.. Comislsey was unable
to give figures. When he was asked "a
to his profits In 1920, the State objected
and the Judge sustained this obje@ IN.
This man Is getting richer al the
time and We are charged with conspiracy
to injure his business" said Mr.. Short.
Il do not see why we cannot show that
he made more money In 1920 than in
1919, when this conspiracy was supposed
to have taken place"
