RACING.

reported to be $75,OO0 a year.
 Babe went through all the calisthen- ics of training including baseball prac- tice, country hotels and sloA trains, with his team mates, came to New York with them and will be on hand when they open in the Capital. Out side of being ''on hanu, lie MI. U. ~I little good.
 Expressing his tears, Miller Huggins, the midget manager of the Yankees who piloted them to a championship last year, dolefu1ly said today that Ruth and Bob Meusel the player who was suspended with him, wilt make the trip with the team and if the regulars have the opportunity for morning practice. the two prisoners will be out chasing fungoes and bat ting a bit. But there'n be no fans on hand to see-Ruth will be in total eclipse.
 Suspension means, among other things, according to Huggins, who cer- tainly has examined well into it, that Ruth must remain off the playing field during league games and the playing field includes the players bench. The Babe will have his choice Of the grand stand, the bleachers or a housetop. He has chosen the first.
 Ruth will don a Yankee uniform on May 20, at his Polo Ground home, and be permitted to stay on the playing field to his hearts content, and, if he is in condition Huggins will stick him into the batting order for his 1922 debut. It may be that Ruth will not be in condition.
 That's what is worrying me- Man ager HugginS said today Unless the team practices every morning, Ruth and Meusel will get no practice. be- cause they can't practice by them selves"
 When Ruth returns to the game he will have 13 appearances with only one break in New York city and that for three day stop in Washington. On June 4 the team will open a long road trip in Chicago, remaining away from the Polo Grounds until July ?. l Ruth is universally acknowledged to be the greatest figure in baseball to- day. He is paid the highest salary of any athlete in the history of com petition.
 His mammoth salary came to him with the flip of coin. At Hot Springs Ark, on March he dickered with Col onel Huston until both reached Hast stand. Then Ruth offered to gamble and he won a five-year contract.
 Despite the piles of petitions and soul pleadings that have reached his ear, Commission Nlndis-who is
 on the best of terms with his ''pris- toner's has declined to lift the sus-
 pension. And all that Ruth can do is wait and keep his waistline down.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET

Chicago, April 11.-Wheat declined in price today largely as a result of down ward tendency of Liverpool quotations and weakness of foreign exchange. The close was unsettled at 3-4 to cents net lower with May 1.31 3-4 to 1.31 7-S and July 1.20 to 1.20 1-S. Corn finished un- changed to 1-4c off oats unchanged to Is down and provisions unchanged to setback of 20 cents.
 It had been expected by many wheat traders that in view of yesterdays ad- vance in values on this side of the Allan tic. the Liverpool market this morning would show an upturn. Disappointment in this respect was emphasized particu- larly by decline in sterling and by ad- vices of disturbed financial conditions in Greece. Besides export demand was slow, and the view was pressed that all known bullish factors had been fully dis counted for the present.
 Better milling demand at St Louis, Kansas City and Omaha helped some what at one stage to rally the wheat , market here, but toward the end of the day a renewal of weakness became evil dent owing more or less to gossip that two Minneapolis mills were offering to sell in Chicago hard winter wheat which had been purchased in the southwest. Selling of 100,O0 bushels here to 20 to store was also late depressing factor especially as to the May delivery. Un- | favorable crop reports from parts of Kansas were virtually ignored Persistent rainy weather made the market for corn and for oats relatively steady. Business, however lacked vol ume.
 Provisions as rule, were lower in line with hogs and on account of increasing stocks of lard.

BABE RUTH EXPECTS TO
 REACH 200 MARK SOON

Though Judge Landiss severe pen atty will prevent Babe Ruth from bettering his 1921 home run record of fifty-nine, the bgi New York slug ger should reach his two hundred home run mark during the coming season. No other major league play CT ever has come anywhere near the double century mark in home runs.
 If Ruth should get thirty eight home runs this season he will reach the two class. As the Babe will be out for five and a half weeks he should just about hit thirty-eight homers at the rate he travelled in 1920 and 1921.
 Ruth, however, will have one great disadvantage. Bv May 20 t'-o nit~s-~ 70 all in great shape, while Ruth will have no experience hitting against experienced pitching. The on ly practice he can obtain will be by hitting against second string pitch ing during the morning practice. Ruth's home run crop at present stands as follows:

 The same groups of stocks which have given greatest momentum to the more or less steady advance of the past few weels-steels. motors and their special ties, oils and utilities-again were con- sDicuous in the days operations at ex- tre-ns gains of one to five points.
 New high records for the year or a considerably longer period comprehended 5tudebaker and several affiliated issues as well as Mexican Petroleum and many unclassifed specialties, coppers tobac- cos and textiles.
 United States Steel failed to equal its maximum of th4 previous day but was in flair demand. probably as result of the very favorable March tonnage report published yesterday, and buying of met als was stimulated by further large ex- ports of copper.

BIG LEAGUES GET INTO ACTION TODAY

we'll matched in tho National league. Brooklyn had the edge over the Giants in last years series, winning 12 out of 22 games played. Against the Yankees in the spring exhibition contests the Su- perbas won 8 out of 14 played in the south and on the home diamond. Boston had decidedly the better of the Phillies during the 1921 season but Manager Will helm has injected new material into the Quakertown combination and should of- fer stronger opposition than was the case last year.
 While the New York Americans will be without the services of Babe Ruth and Bob Meusel they should have slight edge over Washington, especially as Walter Johnson Is not likely to be on the mound in the initial contest. The Yankees took about two-thirds of the 1921 games from Washington.
 Boston and Philadelphia had a nip and-tuck series last season and while the Red Sox appear stronger than the Ath- letics Connie Macks combination may jump into a lead at the expense of the Bostonians in the initial clash.

New York. April 1i.-Major league baseball will make its 1922 debut in four eastern cities tomorrow afternoon. pro vided the weather man has been proper ly placated in advance.
 In the National league. the New York Giants will entertain the Brooklyn Su- perbas at the Polo Grounds in this city, and Boston will appear against the Philadelphia team on the latter's field.
 Amer4can league combinations which viii assist in ehe opening are the Phil adelphia Athletics and Boston Red Sox, who meet in Boston. and the New York Yankees and Washington Senators. who nset in the Capital city.
 In all four cities elaborate ceremonies have been planned to mark the beginning Of another long pennant chase, and while thers is littis likelihood of departure from the traditional fag-bedecked stands, band concerts, parades of rival teams and the official throwing out of balls, the fans have shown undoubted desire to witness in person these preliminaries and the subsequent diamond battles.
 From all the centers of tomorrow s baseball activity come similar tales of unusual and urgent demand for tickets, and it isl 1oely that given fair weather, the opening games of the season will set new attendance records. The case of the New York Giants IS an example Of the interest being shown in these initial con- tests. For several days past 1t has been impossible to purchase a reserved seat or box in tho huge baseball amphi-theatre at the Polo Grounds, notwithstanding its seating capacity of more than S5,000 spectators Hundreds of prospective coupon buyers have been turned away empty handed within the past 24 hours and ft is certain that there will be a rush for unreserved seats as soon as the gates of the park are flung back early tomorrow morning.
 President John A. Heydler, from the National league headquarters in this city. has been planning for the various oficial details incident to the beginning of another baseball season for some weeks. and the assignment Of umpires ard other arrangements have been com pisted. Empires O'Day and Hart will of fciate at the New York-Brooklyn game here Rigler and Mccormack at Phlladel- ptia.
