Fans 0Utspoken in Expressing
Their Opinion That Ruth Is
Being Treated With Severity
Bordering on Oppression.

Il begins to look as II Judge Landls
action in barring Babe Ruth from
playing league games with his team
until May 20 for ignoring a silly base
ball rule has done baseball in general
more harm than any other single
event since the big bribery case two
or three years ago.
The baseball fans are outspoken in
expressing their opinion that Ruth is
being treated with severity bordering
on oppression, and that the interests
Of the sporting public are ignored en-
tirely. Ruth is the biggest feature in
American baseball; a favorite every
where because of his sensational bat %
ting and his interesting personality.
Tho rule under which his World s
Series money was held up and Ruth
barred from play is regarded as an
unfair rule which in law would be
considered class legislation, as 1t af-
fects only a few players.
The existence Of the rule is no fault
of Judge Lands. He is hired 10 give
certain judgments and perform GER
. tain actions, and no doubt is doing his
duty under the baseball laws as he
finds them.
HOW THE FANS COULD VOTE
Perhaps the baseball magnates, who
are. the power behind Judge Lands,
think they can afford to pay no atten.
tion to public opinion. 1t has Otter
been done before in baseball circles.
But the baseball fans are likely tc
change that notion by staying away
from games in which Ruth would have
appeared except for the decision bar.
ring him. That sort of popular vote
will make an impression.
