violation OF the baseball rule regard
ing championship teams pariicipatin

Several reports have appeared in ar
ticles written I'm some OF the large
metropolitan newspapers of the East

Judge Lands would increase the fines
of both Ruth and Meusel SO as to al
low them to play in the opening games
this spring. Recently Ruth made sew
eral attempts to get in touch with the
High Commissioner OF baseball, be-
lieving tina. a personal appeal with n
probable suggestion of a fine without
the law off would he sanctioned.
There 4. no doubt but that both Ruth
and MeuseI realized that their flag
rant disregard of the rules OF organized
baseball was understood by the public
and was implicitly brought to their
minds by the number OF attendance
and chilly reception given the heroes in
their Transforming venture, Sane
minded fans left the hero worshipping
At home and refused to support the
idol of swat when he became head
strong and pushed the Ruth personal
ity too far, ignoring the game that
really made him.
Open defiance of the rules gave no
other alternative than to have Judge
Lands Act. but he weighed the mat
ter carefully for over two months be-
fore he announced tho fine which was
necessary in the interest OF discipline
and clean sports. Should Judge Lam
dis now rescind the penalties imposed

Of discipline in baseball and put the
