RUTH'S LOSS IS
SEVERE BLOW TO
HIS TEAMMATES
BY DIXON STEWART
United Press Staff Correspond,

NEW YORK. April %. U.p)-The
truth of the baseball axiom. "As
Ruth gees, SO go the Yankees" will
be tested in the ensuing fortnight.
Ruth is out OF the game because
of an injured leg, and if the 1881
YanEs follow the precedent set by
other Yankee teams in recent years.
their present leadership of the Am
erican League will be of brief dura-
ton.
Ruth has been going great guns
this spring, and the Yanks have
been the sensation of the league.
They have won six or eight starts,
including two out of three from the
world champion Philadelphia Athle-
tics, and are leading the pack-a
full game in front of the Washing
ton Senators and Cleveland In
dians, and three games ahead of
Philadelphia.
Now that Ruth is out, the Yam
KEGS face a real test. Ten of their
next Il 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 its predecessors,
which invariably went into a tail
spin when Ruth failed to set the
winning pace. they may drop COM
pletely out of the race.
The extent of Ruth's injuries still
are uncertain. Babe says he will
be back within a week, but physi-
clans intimate he may be out for a
month. Even though he returns to
the lineup there is strong proba-
bility that the big slugger will be
slowed down by his injured leg and
fail to continue his great early sea-
son play.
Ruth has reached an age where
he no longer can be expected TO
shake off injuries in a hurry. Leg
injuries are especially dangerous
usually they are the first indication
that an athlete is reaching the end
of his career Manager Joe Nc
Carthy doubtless will insist that
Ruth take no chance of aggravating
his present injury by trying to play
before he is recovered completely.

HISTORY MAY BE-
REPEATED HERE
IN BOXING RING

Boxing fans who missed out on
| last weeks card have been wishing
since that they were on hand to
see the battle beween Swede Berg
lund and Sammy Aguirre. which
turned out to be one of the best
ever seen here.
Had that bout been staged in the
Olympic or at Hollywood. the coats
papers would have been full OF 1t
for several days. Coast fans would
willingly have paid highly for it.
The same thing is quite likely TO
happen tomorrow night when Les
Kennedy, California heavyweight
champion by decree of the state
athletic commission, defends his I'll
tie against Al Konze.
Both Kennedy and Konze are big
strapping fellows who take the box
ing game serious, are always in the
pink of condition and hope to get
ahead and into the real BIG money
that good heavyweights can de-
mand.
Kennedy is making his first start
since a setback at the hands of Pao-
limo Uzcudun and hopes to convince
the public that he has not been per-
manently stopped by his loss.
Konze has a string OF II knock
outs in as many battles at the Olym-
pic club and he is wise enough TO
realize that a win over Kennedy will
not only mean the state champion
ship but will give him prestige all
over the west and in the east.
This makes a perfect setting for
a good fight. Kennedy will be de-
tending his title. the commission
not permitting a champion to fight
unless his title is at stake.
Names Preliminaries
A set-off for the main event
should be the semi-final between
Biff Hoffman and Chief White
horse. These are also heavyweights
and one can expect almost anything
but an easy battle. When heavy
weights get to swinging their paws
there is bound TO be trouble. The
chief packs q wallop and has an
odd style of fighting that should
bring him through. However, Hoff-
man is younger and is just as tough
as they make them.
Matchmaker Harry Woodbury. an
nounced the balance of his card to-
day.
In the six round special, Rafael
Deleo will meet Andy Armstrong.
Deleo ran into trouble a couple OF
weeks ago when he took on frankie
West and lost on kayo. He was
not in the best OF shape at the
time and asked for another book
ing. He will have no soft picking

good scrap and when the Holtvllle

nent.

NEW YORK. April 23 U.P)-The
