ESPRIT DE CORPS AIDED
IN SPORTING ACTIVITY

During the two and q half years
of the American occupation at Cob
lenz the sporting activities Of the
American soldiers have been wit
messed by over 5000, 900 spectators.
Baseball and boxing attracted more
participants and spectatorf han the
other sports.
1.-The ties Of friendship knotted to-
gether," says r. w. Branbon, chief
athletic director of the A. r. in c.,
"on the athletic field. the clubhouse,
the swimming pool. or at the side OF
the boxing ring are the hardest to
break. Sportsmanship Is but another
word for friendship-but 1t In a
stronger term.
"It is during the progress OF keen
physical strife on the field OF sport
that strangers learn to call each
other by their first names. II can.
not be asking too much to give credit
for a large share of the wonderful
esprit de corps to the splendid en-
thusiasm for athletics" ....,

RUTHRETURNS
To PLAY AFTER
38-DAY REST
Fandom Joins in Welcoming
SIugger Back After Prolonged
Sentence by Lands.
BY DAMON RUNYON

NEW YORK, May 2o.-After an
absence Of thirty-eight days from the
championship lineup Of the Yankees,
Babe Ruth returns today.
Fandom will Join us in the senti-
ment, Welcome back. Babe!'
The. greatest figure of all time In
the national game. Babe could Ill be
spared even for a short period. But
in his enforced absence, law and
order has won a tremendous victory
in baseball.
Ruth violated the baseball law by
appearing in transforming games
after the worlds series last fall. He
knew he was violating the law, he
was warned against the step he took,
and his action was an open defiance
Of the baseball authorities.
Judge Lands, the supreme court
Of the game, was then comparatively
new to his position. and the baseball
world, familiar with the backing and
filling that had gone on in baseball
for years before Lands advent
wondered what the Judge would dc
about Ruth.
Many doubted that he would dare
drastic punishment Of such a great
star as the inimitable Babe. Thou
sands petitioned against any punish
ment, some newspapers making q
regular campaign Of the thing. II
was a trying situation for Lands
but the Judge kept his nerve.
He slapped heavy fine and a lons
suspension on the Babe and the
Babes companions, disregarding the
petitions, and everything else except
the fact that Babe had defied the
law. q
1t was the biggest thing ever done
in baseball. 1t established, under
Lands, a new order. The old pallia
ton, and stalling. and backing, and
filling that characterized every
action OF the baseball rulers passed
out with the judges decision. Dis
cipline has come TO the game.
Fortunately enough, Miller Hug
gins, manager Of the Yankees, ha.
been able to keep his club in front
despite Ruth's absence. The Babe
may not be able TO equal his home
run record. and some may esteem
that a calamity. But all must admit
that Lands has finally put dis
cipline above even the most tempera
mental stars.
Welcome back, Babe, and good
boy, judge!

At Rutgers there are no less

of warning in this for tho OPP

Sandlotters'
Salt and

BY r. ID. THOMAS.

Washington sandlotters are money
mad. Able lads are hopping from
one team to another, landing where
ever the velvet is thickest. Five dol
lars a game Is a popular fee.
Several teams, their mainstays
spirited away with lucre, have blown
up. Others are going to pieces. One
player goes and another tries to
follow.
With financially backed outfits
ever tempting the best players,
teams that play ball for sport only
are on pins and needles expecting
any time the news OF a star jump
ing for money.
Managers fret. Some never know
when the team can be placed In &c
ton with its strongest lineup. The
argument of loyalty is put to the
valued performers but the cast of the
financed club has a stronger appeal
more often than not.
The heavy damage done sandlot

in the continual movement Of paid
sandlotters.

To keep as many teams as possible
