n ENCIL stubs have been set
in motion throughout base
ball fandom by the news
that Babe" Ruth. the so-called
"King of Swat" and Mrs. Ruth
had undergone surgical operations
at St. Vincent's Hospital in New
York. The fans are wondering
when they can expect the mighty
slugger back on the diamond fir
ing line. His ban is to be lifted
May 20, and he has been saying
all along that ne would be in
uniform ready for a fresh series
Of home-run smashes on that day.
The fans are hoping for the best.
Ruth had his tonsils removed.
His wife's operation was a major
one and is said to have been sim.
liar to several others she has un-
dergone. The operations were per.
formed at st. Vincent's Hospital,
the big ball clouter following his
wife on the operating table. DR..
George David Stewart, president OF
the Academy Of Medicine, was the
surgeon.
The couple went to the hospital
together last Wednesday afternoon.
Ruth remained at the bedside Of his
wife until late hour cheering her
up against her ordeal. which took
place on Thursday.
Hospital physicians tried to per-
suade him that he would need all
his strength for his own test under
the knife. but he refused to listen
TO them. In fact the big hitter was
inclined to make light Of his
trouble and insisted that he would
be back on the diamond when the
ban against him is lifted. His
whole concern seemed TO be over
the welfare Of Mrs. Ruth.
Attending surgeons predicted that
both would be back in their apart
ment in the Hotel Ansonia within
very short time.
Dozens OF cheering messages for
the couple haYe been pouring into
the hospital ever since the news
that they were there got round
Many friends Of the pair have also
called TO leave tokens OF their
esteem. among them Colonels Rup.
