Chicago, May 2G-By A. P)-
Thursday is much to be regretted
President Johnson's ruling said.
The players conduct was highly
reprehensible, but when all the facts
are weighed there is n measure of
consideration for him. Ruth had
just finished a sentence of unprece-
denied severity. running through a
period of 50 days of suspension,
which disqualified him from practice
with his team prior to the COM
mencement of a game. Without this
necessary work the player lost his
batting eye and returned to the
game in great degree unequipped TO
match the skill of pitchers who have
about reached the high water mark
Of proficiency. AS n natural Sc
uucnce he failed utterly in his PROV
ess as a batter much to the disap-
pointment of an exacting and none
too indulgent public. The hero OF a
year ago was ridden by the fans,
and at times sharply abused.
Ruth plainly did not possess the
mental strength and stability to
brave this sudden reversal of public
alteration. 1t served to warp his
playing ability and for days he has
been nervous and irritable.
I'm his nine years connection with
the American LeGua. his conduct on
the field has been faultlcss. with a
single execution. He cid toss dirt into
the clothing of the empire but not into
his face. An incident of that sort
happens many times in season.
when a player slides to his base and
is keenly disappointed with the de-
cision. His suspension is terminal
cd.
eve cannot condone his entry into
the grandstand to combat an insult
ing spectator. The club owners Of
the American League are pledged to
protect the player from such abuse.
and in the main, it is my belief they
discharged their duty in that par
ticular.
For this offensn Ruth in fined
5000 and removed from the captaincv
Of tho club. 1t is my judgment his
present mental temperament dis1ua1-
ifios him for the position. He can
better convert his mind to IN i'm
provement of his fielding and batting
requirements"

camden MURDER FARM
In PREBLE LITIGATION;
RECE|VERSHIP IS ASKED
Especial to the Palladium


EATON, o., Feb. Starry c. Gail
is suing Ernest and Mary Line, in
common pleas court, for appointment
of a receiver for a farm. on which
Gail claims he holds q mortgage Sc
curing a $4,000 note, on which he
AYERS there is $500 due.
The farm in question is in the vicin-
ity of Camden and is the one on which
Robert Marshall, of Camden, deputy
state game warden, was shot from
ambush and killed about ten days ago.
The farm contains ia acres and had
been occupied by Eli Benton, alleged
slayer of Marshall, since last June and
until after the murder of Marshall, at
which time Benton disappeared and
still is at large.
Farm Deserted
In his petition for a receiver, Gail
states that Benton and Line are fugt-
tives from justice, as Benton has been
indicted for the murder of Marshall,
and Line has been indicted for differ
ent offenses.
No one has occupied the farm since
the murder of Marshall and the re-
moval of Benton's family from the
place. Gail complains that the farm
house has been abused by unknown
persons to him since the crime was
committed on the farm and he asks
the court to appoint a receiver in or
der that his claim may be fully paid
when the realty is sold. Gail AYERS
no crops have been put out on the
farm and that it has been allowed to
get into dilapidated condition.
