YANKEE ARKPLUC LOST AT CRUCIAL
 PERIOD IN CHASE
Ruth May Be Lost to League Leaders For a MOnth-Chances of New Record Are Slim
By DIXON STEWART

United Press Staff CorrcspOndcnt.l New York, April 23.-The truth of the baseball axiom. "as Ruth goes 50 go the Yankees" will be tested in the ensuing fortnight.
 Ruth Is out of the game because of an injured leg, and if the 1031 Tanks follow the precedent set by
 other Yankee teams in recent years,
 their present leadership of the
 American League will be of brief duration.
 Ruth has been going great guns this spring, and the Tanks have been the sensation of the league. They have won six of eight starts, l including two out of three from the
 world champion Philadelphia Athet-
 ics, and are leading the pack--a full Senators and Cleveland Indians. and
 three games ahead of Philadelphia. What a Time! Now that Ruth is out, the Yam | kees face real test. Ten of their | next 14 games are against their most dangerous rivals--Washington and Philadelphia. If Ruth is out of | these games. or is handicapped by his injuries and the team follows the | example of It's predecessors, which invariably went into tailspin when
 
 they may drop completely out of the race.
 The extent of Ruth's injuries still are uncertain. Babe says he will be back within q week but physicians are less optimistic and intimate he may be out for month. Even though he returns to the lineup there is a strong probability that the big slugger will be slowed down by | . i~A. Ca A~ <lvas, ,< his great early season play.
 Ruth has reached an age where he no longer can be expected to shake off injuries in hurry. Leg injuries are especially dangerous usually they are the first indication that an athlete is reaching the end of his career. Manager Joe Me- Carthy doubtless will insist that Ruth take no chance of aggravating his present injury by trying to play before he is recovered completely.
 Fortunately for Mccarthy, the Yankees have a capable substitute for Ruth in young Myrl Hoag, ex- pensive Coast League rookie. In ad- diition. the 1891 Tanks appear to have better spirit than New York teams of recent years and are likely to continue their d-fighting. "heads-up" play, despite Ruth's ab- sence.
 Yesterdays injury may be Q se- were blow to Rdth's personal ambi- tons. as was an injury to his hand last season. At that time Babe was leading his record home run sched- ule by 12 days with an excellent chance of bettering his 1927 mark of GO homers. His injured hand kept him out of the game for only week, but handicapped his hitting for more than a month and cost him the 1890 home run championship.
 This year Babe again started with Il rush, and at present he has three home runs to his credit--three more than at the corresponding date in 193O and one more than in 1927 when he failed to hit No. until April 24.

PENN, DRAKE TRACK
 AND FIELD MEETS START TOMORROW
Nearly 6,0OO Athletes Ex- pected to Take Part in Eastern and Western Events
By HENRY McCLEMORE United Press Stan Correspondent

 New ork. April 23-(UP)-There was q time when the University of Pennsylvania relay carnival was and Field meet of the season. Today the Penn games has ser- ious competitor for that honor in the Drake relays. The western meet although inaugurated after the Penn affair, has reached such heights that 1t now is considered the equal of the Penn carnival. Tomorrow and Saturday both of the meets will be held. combined they will draw approximately e,000 athletes from 1000 colleges and high schools in the United States and Canada. There will be gens erous sprinkling of stars in each meet.
 Pair of Penn Stars.
 Outstanding in the 37th renewal of the Penn games will be Barney Berlinger ana Carl Coan, considered as the two formost track and field stars ever turned out at Pennsyl- vania.
 Berlinger, hailed as a second Jim Thorpe, is a heavy favorite to win the Decathlon. On the basis of his
 
 experts predict that he will set Q new mark in high point scoring for the ten-event affair. He will meet strenuous competition from such stars as J. c. Deering of Yale, o. B. Schoenfield of Cornell, T. Fl. Schwartz of Gettsburg and Walter Hutchinson of the Ithaca school oi physical education.
 Coan turned in the best time for the Mila in the indoor season. He negotiated the distance in 4:13 the night that he bested Ray Conger He probably will have to defeat such stars as Let's of Chicago and Chamberlain of Michigan State to garner the title in the Penn games Relay Anchor Man. In addition to competing in the mile run, Coan will be anchor man on Pennsylvania distance medley relay team. The same three men who ran with Coan last year to bring Pennsylvania the champion. ship are back again this season. Another feature of the Penn games is expected to be the 100. yard dash. Headlining the en- trants. in this event are Al Kelly
 of Georgetown. indoor intercol- legiate champion; Dearmond Hut son of Denison, who was second to George Simpson of Ohio State last year; Allen East of Chicago; Arthur watkins of Harvard; Johnny Hasa of Minnesota and J. Lewis of City College. Detroit.
 Ninety-five events. many of them for high school athletes. are on the program for the Penn games.
