BOSTON. April 1s.-what ordi-
narily would have been a neat
spring financial pickup for Harry
Frasee, owner Of the Red Sox. now
threatens to become an attendance
tumble and all on account of Judge
Lands and his decree that Babe
Ruth must not appear in uniform
at Fairway Park during the first
visit of the Yankees which begins
today.

club very little in attendance at
Washington. though II undoubtedly
cost the Yanks the first game there.
The big opening at the Capital re-
suited from the feeling that the
Senators are the strongest team
that has ever represented Washing
ton. Attendance was fair the sec
ond day and good again on Satur-
day. The weather also helped.
But up here In Boston the April
afternoons are cold and raw and II
is not likely that the Yanks win do
much business without Ruth un-
less Wednesdays weather Is favor

anniversary of the Battle of Lex
ington-and a big holiday in New
England. There will be morning
and afternoon games at Fenway
Park and maybe some crowds.
However, Il looks as IL the sus-
pension OF Ruth win really begin to
hurt here. Aside from the New
York club, the greatest sufferer
from the lands verdict will be the
Red Sox, who share In nine Of the
,thirty-six games from which Babe
has been barred.
The absence OF Babe not only
cuts down attendance here, but II
will naturally be felt at the Polo
Grounds when the Red Sox play
there. The Boston team also plays
