BABE RUTH'S BAT MAY GO TO COURT
Legal Action Probably Will Follow Johnson's
Refusal to Approve BambinO's
New Swat Stick

| New Y0rks Yankees, Johnson says:
1.-THE special bat George Ruth is
now using does not conform to the
regulations prescribed by the rules
and must be discarded at once. The
/ American League Of Sam Crawford
Owner Rupert, Manager Huggins
and Babe Ruth are up in the air over
/ the ruling. Manager Higgins in
sists that Johnson is in error and
will be forced to reverse his ruling
when the facts in the case are prop
erly presented. Owner Rupert says
he is back of liuggins in any stand
his manager decides to take. Ruth
is sore and doesn't make an attempt
to conceal his feelings.
The ban on Ruth using the new
style bat came a. time when he
was within a fraction Of a point OF
catching the league leadership in
batting this ear. Since that time
batting this year Since that time
Ruth has dropped back slightly.
Il can see no reason why Johnson
should bar the Crawford model bat"
says Manager Higgins. Il must diff
fer with President johnson when he
says it does not conform with the
rules.
The rules simply state that the bat
must be round, entirely of hard wood
and conform to certain dimensions.
THE new bat used by Ruth is made
OF hard wood and is perfectly round
The rules do not state, that the bat
must be made out Of one piece of
wood. Ruth's bat is not a trick bat
but simply an improvement on the
old type. A four-piece bat is much
stronger than a one-piece affair and
OF course has much more driving
power.
Il have shipped a bat to President
johnson for his inspection. also a
letter te:..ng my reasons why I l..
lieve the Ruth bat is perfectly
legal. / am sure President Johnson
will reverse his ruling by the time
we open in the west"
Owner Rupert backs Higgins up
in his stand, and says he feels that
Ruth is being Disseminated against.
He has wired President johnson to
that effect in strong terms.

SCHULTZ, LAST
OF CUBSGREAT
TEAM, PASSES
Retires From Active Baseball
Was Star in Famous
Series of 1906

Chicago, Aug. 27.-With Frank
Schultze dropping out of the pro-
fessional baseball ranks this season
the last Of the two great Chicago
teams that battled for the world:
championship in 1906 have quit &C.
tive participation in the game. True,
ris.n. Lnance, OF peerless Leader
fame and Pat Moran, Of the Reds, are
very much in the spotlight OF the
sport today yet neither cavort on the
diamond in actual play.
Up to the time that Schultz re-
signed from the Oakland club of the
Coast league, seven Of the former
stars of the two 1906 teams still had
something to do with baseball
Schultz was the only one actually
playing, however. The others were:
Cubs: Chance and Moran, who
are managers and John Evers, who
was with the White Sox last year.
SoX: Nick Altrock, now with Wash
ington but who is on the coaching
line and never plays; Frank Isbell,
owner and manager of the Wichita
club of the Western league and Ed
Walsh, VINO is now scout and pitch
orS' coach for the White Sox.
Intimate details of the series re-
mains in the minds of the baseball
public ,even to this day, Judging by
the many "reminiscences heard at any
gathering OF baseball fans. 1t was
remarkable in one respect at least.
The underdog mad his day. The Cub.
came up TO the big event hailed as
world heaters in every sense Of the
word. while the White Sox had tri-
umphed in the American league by 4
scant margin and were known as the
"Hitless Wonders" Few, outside of
rahid and partisan fans, believed the
SoX had chance to win. But win
they did in a most impressive man
ner. The series was then five
game affair, three wins out of five
games deciding the victor.
The Sox won the first, lost the sec
ond, won the third, lost the fourth
and annexed the worlds champion
snip by winning the fifth, and final
game. The players on the team con-
sisted of Fielder Jones, managing
and playing right field; Jiggs Dona-
hue on first; Frank Isbell on second;
George Rohe at third; Lee Tannehill
playing short, having been switched
over from third when George Davis,
the regular shortstop was injured
late in the regular season; Pat
Dougherty in center and Eddie Hahn
in right with Billy Sui Ivan behind
the bat and Doc White, Ed Walsh,
Frank Owens and Nick Altrock on
the firing line.

ASK SESSION

DAKOTANS ARE THERE

! Wheaton, MIMI, Aug. 2S.-Between
1900 and 2,0O0sfarmers, bankers ant
businessmen attended the price sta.
bilization conference here yesterday
adopting resolutions asking President
Coolidge to call special session Of
congress Immediately to stabilize the
price of wheat on a cost-of- produc-
ton basis, urging the immediate or
ganizaton of national agricultural
board to correspond to the federal re-
serve board of the bankers, and NAM
ing committee from the three states
of Minnesota, North and South Dako-
tn to plan campaign to further
these plans. Between 60 and 65 per-
cent of the persons at the meeting
were farmers. Representatives came
from as far west as Minot, N. D., and
others from the southern part Of
Minnesota.
The utmost enthusiasm was dis
played over the plans for aiding the
farmer and the meeting stood 100
percent in favor of the national
agricultural board. -
The first resolution adopted declar-
ed that a particular crisis now exists
in the wheat branch of the apricul-
tural industry, arising from, the fact
that during the war the farmer wa.
encouraged to increase his production
of wheat and that the price was fixed
at $1.50 per bushel less than what
the farmer might have gotten on the
market if the price had not been fix
ed. The sudden withdrawal of tho
support of the Grain CORPORATION
knocked the bottom out of the mar
ket and \.ft the farmers with a bur.
den Of debts incurred when prices
were high, the resolution stated.

SION OF congress at once to stabilize

Puzzling Plays
THE PLAY

THE PLAY
The manager of the home team has
two new recruits for the position of
shortstop. One is named Smith, the
other Jones.
The manager decides to try odt
Smith, and when he gives the lineup
to the umpire, Smith is player an
nounced at short.
Returning to the bench the man.
ager finds that Smith has injured his
ankle in practice and than it will be
impossible for him to play.
Jones. the other recruit shortstop.
is sent in to play the position. The
manager in his excitement over the
accident fails to notify the umpire
of the change.
The umpire never having seen
Smith or Jones does not know that
it is Jones playing short, not Smith,
the man given in the lineup.
The first three batters of the Wis.,
ltlng team ground to Jones at short
and are thrown out at first base.
After the side has been retired,
the manager of theTvisiting team CON
tends that the plays by Jones are IL
legal since he was never actually in
the game, the notice of the change
not being made to the umpire. He
claimed the inning should be played
over. q
What about it? 20 =,
THE INTERPRETATION
While the manager of the home
team is open to censure for his fail
ure to notify the umpire of the
change. and in organized ball is pc
nalized by $25 fine, the plays as
made by Jones at short are legal.
When such change is made with
out the umpire being notified, the
rules say that the substitute player
shall be regarded as having taken
the place of the player removed and
all plays shall be regarded as legal.
