Babe Ruth VIII
Haze to Ask to
Be Reinstated

CHICAGO. May IS ASSOCIATED Press).
Babe Ruth. home run king Of the
New York Yankees. will not be auto
matically reinstated on May 20. when
his term of suspension from the New
York Club expires. but may apply for
reinstatement to X. NJ. Lands, Baseball
Commissioner, at that time, Leslie
o'Connor, Mr.. Landiss Secretary. said
to-day.
Ruth, who was suspended until May
20 with Bob Meusel.. New York out
fielder, and Bill Pearcy. pitcher. after
the three had gone on a transforming
tour after the close of the season last
fall, will not be compelled to appear
in person before Commissioner Lands to
make his request. Mr.. o'Connor said.
The suspension order. Mr.. O'Connor
said, prohibited Ruth and the two
others from participating in league
games until May 20, when they were
given the privilege of asking reinstate-
ment. Such a request, Mr.. O'ConnoI
said. might be made by letter. telegraph
telephone or in person and would be
taken under consideration by the com
missioner.
A request for reinstatement by tele'
graph. IL answered in the affirmative by
Commissioners Lands In the same man
ner at once, would, It is thought, give
Ruth an opportunity to appear Saturday

st. Louis with Kenneth Williams, who

Believes Lands Is Satisfied
Both Players Have Been
Sufficiently Punished.
BY Ed Van Every.

'Babe Ruth viii play ball Satur-
day." assured COL Jacob Rupert,
half owner of the Yankees, in an in
terview on this important point.
Which means that while the baseball
season officially opened on April -
the real season opens on May 20. 1t
also means the first capacity crowd
of the year at the Polo Grounds this
Saturday afternoon.
"Of course" said the Colonel. 81
am not In a position to know Just
what is now in the mind OF High Com
missioner Lands, but doubtless he is
satisfied that the players, Ruth and
Meusel, have been sufficiently pun
ished for their mistake OF last fall,
They have done nothing that should
lead to a continuation of their sus-
pension, and II is only reasonable to
suppose that they will Immediately
be restored to good baseball standing
on May 20" The Colonel might have
added that the Yankee owners have
taken the punishment of their star and
its box office effect with commendable
sportsmanship.
ION that GATE, which is next Sat
urday. II seems TO be pretty generally
known" Col. Rupert continued with
a smile, 1.-THE suspended players, Ruth
and Meusel, will wire to Commissioned
Lands, requesting that they he per-
United TO play on that same day"
1--WE are taking care" again the
Colonel smiled. that Judge Lands
will be wired early enough"
"Our arrangement Is to have Rutl
and Meusel wire to High Commission
er Lands at Chicago at 9 o'clock Sat
urday morning, and allowing for tn
difference in time the players SHOULD
have word in New York by 10 o'clocl
granting them official sanction to taxi
part in the game that afternoon"
While Col. Rupert did not infe
this. the writer has very good reascl
! to believe that High COMMISSIONS

from the players, Ruth and Meusel

'UP TO DODGERS
YOUNGP|TCHERS
TO PREVENT ROUT
Brooklyn "VetS" Have Failed
The Club Has Won Only
One Game and Lost Seven
in West So Far.
Especial to The Evening world)

ST. LOUIS, May 1S.-Tt will be up
TO the young pitchers II the Dodgers
are to be saved from being cleaned I'D
In the West. where they have already
won one game and lost seven.
Burleigh Grimes reported yesterday
that he was In shape again after his
visit to Bone Setter Reese. but when
he tackled the Cardinals they ate him
alive. The first man to look over
Grimes stun was Jack Smith, who
doubled, and the next was George To-
porcer, the New York born wearer of
spectacles who has been leading the
league In hitting. George smacked a
home run into the right field bleachers
with Smith on second, and those two
runs started the Cardinals to an IL to
0 victory with which to open the series
OF four games the Dodgers have here.
Grimes had more speed than he has
had this year, but his arm was not as
good as he thought 1t was, or as good
as 1t will be later, when II has entirely
recovered from the yanking at the
tendons In the right shoulder to which
DR.. Reese had to subject him.
The Dodgers went all to pieces In
that game yesterday. Grimes and
Gardiner, who pitched the last four
innings, and allowed four of the runs,
each made wild throws to first to catch
runners asleep. Bernie Neis, who
usually is Il reliable thrower, shot a
ball into the dirt at Johnstoa's feet in
trying to stop a runner at third. Jim
my Johnston made bum chuck on a
bunt, and Jimmy muffed a foul from
Heathcote, who took advantage OF the
respite to crack single of Gordinier,
scoring on Sherdel's triple.
Sherdel was so much master Of the
Dodgers that they wasted time going
to the plate. They made seven hits,
but they were widely scattered and
only in the first inning did the Dodg-
ers get a man beyond second lase.
Bert Griffith is doing all he can at
first base but pulls raw plays in his
innocence, and SRay Schmandt may
be seen there In the near future.
Schmandt went to first base yesterday
In the fourth inning, when Wheat COM
planned OF his ankle and Bert Griffith
went to left field for Wheat.
Vance, Decatur or Shriver will prob
ably pitch for the Dodgers to-day, as
none of the older men has shown
enough to win in an amateur league.
Toporcer's home run of Grimes in
the first inning yesterday was not the
only one for the Cardinals, Jack Smith,
in the seventh, and Hornsby, in the
ninth, hit homers Off GARDINER.

LIVE WIRES
By Neal r. O'Hara.

The Red Sox aren't out of the race
yet. but they will be as soon as they
lose enough games.
Value OF the dollar Is increasing.
For IS now you can tell an umpire
where to so to.
AS soon as doubleheaders start
Washington fans can see two defeats
for the price of one.
The second division is always Phila-
delphia and three other teams.
A champion is a guy that starts
with tin ears and ends with gold
bonds.
Clark Griffith says he's still in the
race, but Clark means in the league.
The way a magnate looks at 1t 1t Is
better to have played and lost than ia
have had the game called before An

That Washington team is getting
along like it was under Government

Ruth and MeuseL Will Play
Saturday, Declares RUPERT

George Herman Ruth and Rober:
Meusel will reach the Yankee head
quarters. The exact wording OF said
kilograms cannot be set forth, but
Two and one-half hours later, or
at 1.30 u. NJ, the Babe will stroll out
on the field up at the p. G. and then
oh, boy! oh, Babe!
However, the fans are liable to dis
appointment in one way. While the
appearance of the Babe is assured for
Saturday, it will not be the same old
Babe they will accord their tremen-
dous ovation. The Babe is not quite
himself physically since his recent OPP
Grafton. The great batter claims he
feels just as good as ever but he Is
just at present several pounds under
weight. He probably lacks consider
able of his normal strength, so do not
be disappointed IL the big fellow fails
to bat one out of the lot for the first
few games. Ruth and Meusel were
both out for batting practice yester-
day morning and will put in another
strenuous hour of bat swinging this
\. NJ.
It should only be a matter of few
| days before the Bambino regains his
normal weight and, incidentally, his
batting eye, and by May 20 he should
be able to start something toward
| cutting down his handicap of twelve
homers. Last year on May 25 Ruth
made his circuit clout No. II,
Babe expresses himself as confident
that he will be able To give his 1921
record of ffty-nine home runs al
awful tussle. The going, however
will be hard, as 1t means making &
homer in little less than every two
days. Babes best pace, heretofore
has been one every two and one-hal
days.
"But don't forget" says the Babe
THAT l hit 'em a little harder ant
faster every year"
Which is true enough. So kennetl

We tried to look up Dawes home town

he sent for his pal.
For an afternoons work these boys
earned their days pay. Each got two
hits and a base on balls. Each drove
in two runs. The Indians made four.
After that they decided to recite

no said in just so many words.
Robert Shawkey, the Cob, had de-
veloped a wild kink in his arm and
was up to his neck in a terrible mess
Ho had walked four Indians in one
and one-third innings; had yielded
three singles, a two Dagger and four
runs.
In veteran vernacular finishing

some young pitcher, in need of ex-

of the beating.
But to the quail hunter from Char

Mr. Murray's idea of a way to fin
