knew when the New York American

Higgins scoffed, however, at the
thought that the Babe is gone from

1T would be foolish for me to say
anything like that" Higgins asserted.

Ruth injured his left leg in game

He returned to the lineup here yester-
day against the Indians, and no one
knew but that his underpinning was in
perfect order when he went to bat
Willis Hudlin, Indian pitcher, gave him
a free pass and the injury showed up
when he moved to second on Lazzeris
single. He was retired, but remained in
the Yankee dugout for the remainder
of the double header, which was divided
the Yankees taking the first, to 2, and
the Indians the second. IL to 3.
Ruth, according to Higgins, will re-
main in Cleveland until the end OF the
series and then will return with the
team to New York. He would make nc
