PURDUE Nine LEADING
IN BIG TEN TITLE RACE

CHICAGO, May 22.-The western
conference Big Ten base ball cham
pionship is expected to be decided
this week with Purdue and Illinois
the chief contenders. Purdue now
heads the percentage column with
Illinois apparently the most danger
GUS rival.
Purdue and Illinois meet at Ur-
bana, III, tomorrow and Ohio State
also will go to Illinois Friday. Vic
tory over Purdue and Ohio State
would virtually mean the champion
ship for Illinois, which has lost only
two games. Defeat of Illinois should
give Purdue the championship.
Purdue also has games with Iowa
at Iowa City and Chicago.

Ruth Faces Tough Going.
Babe Ruth is back. Physically. he
is as much a beau ideal as ever AS
home runner, he hasn't hit any
unlimited chance to hit. Ruth will
find that the experienced pitchers are
going after him this year. The lesson
of what happened in the world series
has not been forgotten. The Ameri-
can League pitchers do not stand in
pitchers will not know how to handle
themselves when Ruth faces them,
but the vets do know. Shocker struck
him$out the first time that he batted
officially in a game in 1922.
There wasn't much of anything
extraordinary about a strike-out. but
Shocker pitched to him all through
the game and Ruth couldn't hit him.
That was significant. Ruth did little
better against Davis.
