met with considerable success.

Babe" Will Be Back in Yankee Line-Up

Washington, May 2s.-Babe Ruth will be back in the Yankee lineup tomorrow, Manager IIuggins of ths Yankees said tonight when infor- nation of President Johnson sac- ton in fining tho home run king for his temperamental outburst in New York Thursday, but further than that the New York manager would make no comment. Ruth would not comment on the develop- ment. Manager Huggins declined to discuss his probable selections of a field captain to succeed Ruth.
 President Johnsons decision to in- pose the fine and not an enforced layoff for the big slugger was gem orally approved by members of the two teams.
 That Ruth had the sympathy of tho fans at today's game was evi- dent from the applause he received during batting practice. The fans disappointment at not being able to see him play was partly dispelied when the bambino drove the ball over the center field score board during practice.

Babe Ruth Fined S2OO and Remoued
 From Leadership

Chicago, May 26.--Babe Ruth was fined s20o and removed from the explaining of the New York Ameri- can club, Ban Johnson, president Of the American league this afternoon announced.
 President Johnson gave his ruling after considering the reports of the umpires officiating in yesterdays game at New York between New York and Washington when Ruth disputed decision of umpire Hide brand and later climbed into the stand after fan who had made a remark to which he took exception
 President Johnson,s finding auto matically removes the ruling that Ruth was ineligible to play, which was promulgated by the American league head pending an investiga- ton.
 Excuses For Ruth
 "The Ruth incident in New York on Thursday is much to be regret ted" President Johnson's ruling said. "The players conduct was highly reprehenstbie, but when all tho facts are weighed. there is a measure of consideration for him Ruth had just finished sentence of unprecedented severity, running through a period of 39 days of sus- pension, which disqualified him from practice with his team prior, to the commencement of a game. Without this necessary work. the player lost his batting eye and returned to the game in a great degree un- equipped to match the skill of pitch ers who have about reached the high water mark of proficiency. AS natural sequence, he failed utterly in his prowess as q batter. much to- the disappointment of an exacting and none too indulgent public, The hero l of a year ago was ridden by the l fans, and at times sharply abused. Ruth plainly did not possess the mental strength and stability to brave this sudden reversal of public adoration. It served to warp his playing ability, and for days he has been nervous and irritable.
 Past Record Good
 'In his nine years with the Ameri- can league. his conduct on the held has been faultless. with single ex- oeption. He did toss dirt on to the clothing of the umpire 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 terminated We cannot condone his entry into the grand stand to combat an in- sulting spectator. The club owners of the American league are pledged to protect the players from such abuse, and in the main, it is my be- lief they discharged their duty in that particular. For this offense Ruth is fined s20o and removed from the captain cy of the club. It is my Judgment his present mental temperament dis qualities him for the position. He can better convert his mind to an improvement of his fielding and bat ting requirements"
