 Col. Jacob Ruppert, owner of the club, backed Huggins. The Babe cooled off and realized his mis- take. He made peace overtures, was rejected. Humbly he came back and admitted his fault, prob

 NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-In the three long years that stretched be- tween the Yankees conquest of the Giants in the 1923 worlds series, and Babe Ruth's next series ap- pearance with the Tanks against the St. Louis Cardinals in 1926, baseballs greatest slugger was tossed about in a storm of trouble that all but swept him from the game.
 It was an interlude of physical and mental travail. Out of 1t came bigger and better Ruth, grown to manhood in his attitude toward life and the game that had done so much for him.
 Millions Watched Trouble
 Where other men, facing such a crisis, may work out their prob lems in obscurity, the humiliation, and final rejuvenation of Ruth were nationally observed develop ments.
 Each succeeding day of the tur- moi was front page word pie ture, followed avidly by millions, of progressive distress, disintegra- tion, and final recovery.
 The Babe survived the crash of the Yankees as a ball club in 1924, when Miller Huggins' world 5 champions, holding together as long as they could, fell apart like a one-hoss shay and dropped to seventh place in the American league. Still the Babe hit .378 in the season, gathering 46 home runs.
 Most Famous Stomack Ache
 But years of careless training and high, glorious living in a cir cle of idolatry took their toll i'll 1925.
 At Asheville, N C., on the Yanf kees' way home from spring train ing camp, Ruth collapsed with a giant "tuInmy ache" combina- tion Of indigestion and influenza. He was rushed to New York, ta- ken to hospital, and there 1t was found that he also had an abscess.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S FLYING
RUG

Baby Bunty was sitting in Uncle
Wiggily's soft chair, in the hollow
stump bungalow, reading story
book. The little orphan rabbit
child had come home early from
school as it was showing and the
Lady Mouse Teacher in the Hollow
Stump School had told the chill
dren they had better leave before
the storm became worse.
So, as Baby Bunty had no les
sons to study, the next day being
Saturday, the little orphan picked
up the story book. All of a sud
den, along came Uncle Wiggily
Not seeing Baby Bunty sitting III
his soft chair, the rabbit gentle
man sat right down on the cute
little orphan child.
"Ohl" cried Bunty in surprise
"Oh, dear, Mr.. Giant! Please don't
sit on me-"
Giant" cried Uncle Wiggily
Giant! Why, Bunty, I am no
giant, What made you think
that?"
"Oh, I guess it's on account of
the fairy stories I'm reading in this
book" Bunty answered. when

you first came along and sat on
me I thought you were the giant
in the book"
We'll, I'm glad I'm not" spoke
Mr. Longears, getting up after
having sat on Bunty. Really he
didn't hurt her at all, for no
sooner did he feel that he was
sitting on something soft than
Uncle Wiggily jumped up and so
ne didn't do Bunty any harm. I'm
glad I'm not giant, Bunty," he
said so there are giants in the
book, are there?"
Yes" answered the little orphan
rabbit. Giants and all manner of
ether queer and jolly creatures.
There are fairies and elves and
sprites and flying rugs most
magical"
Magical flying rugs!" exclaimed
Uncle Wiggily. What do you
mean by that, Bunty?"
Il don't 'zackly know what it is"
Bunty answered. But in this fairy
book is a story about a Prince,
who was the son Of a King. And
the Prince was walking along the
road one day and he saw an old
rug on the ground, so he sat down
on it. He was very tired for he
had Travelled many miles that day.
And as he sat on the rug, all at
once he made wish.
I wish" said the Prince, that
was back home in the palace of
my father, the King And what do
you think happened, Unkie Wig?"
asked Bunty, using all the baby
talk she was allowed
Il don't know" replied Mr.. Long
ears. What happened?''
mo sooner had the Prince sat
upon the rug said Bunty, telling
the story from the fairy book, mo
sooner had he sat down than, all
