received word from North Platte
this week that his proposition was
receiving very favorable considera-
ton and King will again be the lead

Heretofore the races have been OF

finances Of the league. But what
cared he for his team, his league, or
the fans? lie didn't consider them.
And now those same fans, for whom
Ruth had absolutely no regard when
he decidcd-for selfish. monetary rca-
sons-to barnstorm, are trying to get
him back into the game.
And, in their attempt, they are ac-
complishing little other than the
heckling Of Lands. who is an ell
tirely innocent party.
Ruth committed baseball crime !;
Lands was the Judge and jury. He
announced sentence--a just one 1t
was his duty-and he performed it.
Why should he now be annoyed by
petitions OF fans whose very petition
does nothing but challenge the
square and fair action of Lands?
Needs Discipline.
It's true that through the suspen-
sion OF Ruth the Yankee owner and
Yankee fans arc made to suffer. But
the history OF the world teens with
instances where the innocent have
had to suffer with the guilty. And
so the situation brought about by the
Ruth suspension is nothing new.
Good usually comes from evil.
It's quite likely that the Ruth case
will make the adage true once more.
The knowledge that he is not quite
so grept as the game itself; that he
is liable to the same fines and pun
ishment as any mediocre athlete un-
doubtedly have had certain effect
upon Ruth. It's shorn him OF some
OF the swagger air and the prima
donna ideas that possessed him last
season; it has perhaps rendered all
of his hats little too large for pres
cnt use.
Greater Than Baseball.
Ruth, at heart. is not a bad kid.
But all the praise showered upon
him, and all the plaudits of multi
tudes. got him slightly tangled. He
figured, for while, that baseball
simply couldn't, exist without him.
that If he were out Of the game the
whole structure of the sport would
collapse.
But not so--not so.
And, therefore, Ruth has come
back to hinself-and has learned a
real lesson which. through the rest
of his. baseball days should be aw-
fully, awfully helpful to him.

Omahs kiddies may cherish the
hope they will not be deprived this
year OF circus joys.
City council committee OF tho
whole experienced a mellowing yes
,erday. which resulted in decision
10 modify the prohibitive circus
license tax adopted las, December.
Commissioner John Hopkins,
Youngest member OF the council and
father OF a 5-months old girl, was
not moved by the pleas OF those
who forecast circusless Omaha
unless the license fee was reduced.
Commissioner Fl. B. Zimman. one
OF the bachelor members OF the
council. espoused the kiddies' cause.
The circus fees adopted last De-
cember carried charge OF $3.50 per
day for a three-ring circus. $500 per
day for two rings, $40 each for side
show.
Mr.. Zimman's proposed amend
ment is to charge $3.50 to circuses
having so or less cars, $500 for moro
than 80 and less than 90 cars. and
$50 for all shows having more than
70 cars.

Cardinals and Indians Leading
Race in Major Leagues as Second
Week kofSchedule Gets Underway

New York, April 1.-THE major
leagues baseball season still is very
young, and some of the teams ap-
parently have not hit their stride,
but at the end of the first weeks
schedule yesterday Cleveland in the
American and St. Louis in the Ma
,ional league held undisputed pos
session of first place. St. Louis and
Philadelphia we're tied for second
place in the junior circuit while the
Giants and Philadelphia occupied
second and third positions in the
National.
Last year in the National league
the Giants, Brooklyn and the Pirates
had things to themselves, the. ST.
Louis Cardinals bobbing up, in win
ming form too late in the season to
be considered seriously. This year,
however, the Cardinals seem to be
in the race from the start with good
pitching, heavy clouting and sensa-
tional all around play. The Pirates
have made poor start but their
pitching staff is good and their blud-
geon wielders many.
The Phillies gave promise of max
ing things interesting and the Cubs
are not to be despised. Notwithstand-
ing their three defeats by the base
hit crazy Giants, Wilbert Robinson's
Dodgers are something of clouters
themselves and with better work
from the pitchers will go nicely.
Smith and his new underhanded
style give promise of good things
for Robbie. The Giants look best
of all but they can't afford to loaf.
The big surprise in the American
league is the early good work of the
Athletics. Connie Mack it seems, may
have gathered another great organi-
zation of youngsters. And the
Browns, not to be outdone by the
Cardinals, have hung out a danger
signal They have pitchers. and al
ways have had wallopers.
The Washington Senators are
we'll organized and Speakers In
dams always in the running indeed,
seem one of the most likely teams
of the lot.

The very action in getting to-
gcther such petition is an insult to
Lands. It's challenge to his
Judgment i'll suspending Ruth! It's
likewise wallop at his juricial at
titude that sentence must be cn-
Lands No Goldfish.
What fine. sort Of Goldfish Lands
would turn out to be if he relented
i'll the Ruth case-if he commuted
sentence even by day.
But Lands is no Goldfish.
He ruled that Ruth couldn't play
the American league circuit until
May 20th-and Ruth won't.
It's true that the absence Of Ruth

But that's not the fault OF Lands.

regulations Of the game were against
him; he went ahead despite an added
personal warning from Lands. He
must have known that justice would
be ineted out to him. II he has any
reasoning powers at all,~he must
have. known that he was quite liable
to suspension.
He knew that suspension would
hurt his teams chances, hurt the
