But the Babe, like all great stars,
is temperamental.
Made Great Slide
After laying down q neat bunt in
his first time at bat and advancing the
two runners who subsequently scored,
Ruth came up in the third and bumped
a safe one into center. The Babe
rounded first and kept going. He made
n great slide for second. but Umpire
Hildebrand ruled that Rice's throw
had reached Harris in time for him
to tag the bambino for an out.
Ruth protested vehemntly and then
gathering a handful of dust, threw it
into the umpire's face. Hildebrand wip-

Ruth to the showers with the other.

he walked to the Yankee bench.
AS Ruth reached the dugout. a fog
horned voice in the stands roared some
thing which to Ruth was unpleasant.
The home run hitter vaulted the dug
out and started for the man who had
disple2sed him. This fellow fled to a
safe spot under the stands and Babe
started for the showers. With head
bent. he walked slowly and as he
reached the bleachers he looked up TO
shake his fist at those who jeered him.
Then the stands let out a great cheer
and Ruth DOTTED his cap and bowed as
he disappeared through the clubhouse
gate.
Fans Start for Tormentor
A group of fans then started for
the man who had shouted, at Babe.
This individual was requested by the
police to leave and he did.
The bambino's attempt to vent his
wrath on a booing fan recalled the
