BABE RUTH OUT
Of T0DAY'S GAME
Suspended for One Day, FOL-
lowing Action in Yester-
days lame

CHICAGO, May &c (By The Asso-
ciated Press):-Babe Ruth, of the
New York Yankees. today was de-
clared by President Ban johnson.
of the American League. to be in
eligible to play until a complete in
v~estigation is made of the argument
with Umpire Hildebrandt which re-
suited in Babe being put out of the
game yesterday. and his going into
the stands.
johnson said an investigation
would be made At once and that a
final decision would be made tomor-
row. Ruth will not play today.
While Johnson made N Official
statement regarding penalty, ii WIS
learned that he thought a one day
suspension with a stiff fine would be
ample punishment for the slugger
who has just returned to the game
after a thirty-nine day suspension.
II have received only the report
of the umpire" said johnson. II
have started gathering complete
evidence in the ease and expect this
by tomorrow. In the meantime Ruth
will not appear in the New York
lineup"
Johnson had received reports
lately that Babe has become ner-
vous over his recent suspension, the
big lead gained by Kenneth Will
hams and his failure to hit when he
did return to the game. These re-
ports have affected the mental atti-
tude of the Babe which might re-
suit in his doing things that he
would soon forget.
1t was pointed out that Ruth's
previous suspension was the longest
ever giver a player. Ruth has writ
ten a letter a~pologizing for his act.
The umpire's report said the dec
sion at second was not even close
and that Ruth threw dirt at him
and that the dirt struck his shoul-
der.
NEW YORK-Babe Ruth still
smarting from the scratches of the
trouble he had last fall, is in an
other thorny thicket.
He forgot himself yesterday and
threw dust in the face of Umpire
Hildebrandt who called him out at
second. The umpire waved Ruth out
of the game and the Babe heard
the boos of the baseball fans. A big
voiced individual in the stands yelled
something and Babe heard him.
Babe ran to the stands and the
fan left. Babe is awaiting today for
the verdict and sentence.
1t appears rs II the Babe may
draw a heavy sentence or fine, or
both.

scented verdi's famous opera ia

man. who portrayed the role of Vio-

ing light of the performance. On

Edwardo Battente, the tenor, had.
a dificult assignment in the opera
as the lover of Violetta and did JUS
tice to the part. He, too, was in
good voice and was well received by
the audience.
There were about twenty others
in the cast and chorus. music being
furnished by an orchestra OF more
than twenty pieces led by Professor
S. Avitabile. 1t required about two
hours for the completion of the
opera but during that time the per-
formers experienced no difficulty In
keeping the attention OF the audi
ence which filled almost every avail
able seat.
The opera was presented under
the auspices of the Church Of Our
Lady OF the Most Holy Rosary and
much of the credit to its success is
due Father Colombino Galassi, the
rector OF the church. who worked
untiringly on the preparations for
many weeks.
