Ruth, Knee Under Knife, Might
Come Back as Pinch Hitter
BY TED MEIER,
Issociated press Snotts Uritera


NEW YORK, June Babe Ruth,
the old Sultan of Swat, may be back
in baseball as pinch hitter before
the season is over.
The Bambino, whose so homers for
the Yankees in 1927 still stands as
a major league record, is entering a
hospital tomorrow to have car
tilage removed from his right knee.
"It's an old baseball injury" ex-
planned the Babe, who observed his
50th birthday anniversary in Feb
ruary. Il let it go for years. Now
I'm suffering. hope it will fix up
my legs. Maybe I can get few
years back so can get out and play
golf"
"Baseball?" queried the man who
is legend to thousands of young
sters. Il haven't given thought to
playing again"
Don't you believe it," asserted
Jack Schaefer, a New York Hotel
man who has acted in an advisory
capacity to Ruth for years. THE
Babe was telling me only the other
day that he could sure hit the
pitching being served this year. If
this operation fixes up his legs he'll
want to get into the game, not as a
regular player, but as pinch hitter. :"
And don't think" Schaefer con-
tinued,' that the ball clubs aren't
interested in him. I'll name four
who are interested right now.
There's Connie Mack of the Ath-
leticS. Steve O'Neil of the Tigers,
Jimmy Dykes of the White Sox and
Clark Griffith of the Senator'S"
The Babe is the big drawing card
at War Bond rallies" went on
Schaefer. The extra people he'd
pull in at the gate more than would
pay whatever salary he'd get"

Both Champs Downed;
Red Beats 81. Louis
| Third Time in Row
BY JACK HAND,
Associated Press SPORTS Writer.

AS8ociateu Press SpoFt& Wfltef.
Leave 1t to Bucky Walters and the
Cincinnati Reds to ruin the st.
Louis Cardinals dreams of third
straight National League pennant.
Leave 1t to the home run, and the
New York Yankees win wind up in
the American Leagues also-ran
column.
These are two strange develop
ments produced in the major
leagues by third wartime season.
Up to 1914 Walters had beaten st.
Louis only 10 times In A starts, but
now he has handed them three
straight setbacks by scores of 10.
20 and al. Not until the ninth
frame of last nights 2-1 tilt in Gin
cinnati were the Cards able to break
la string of 80 scoreless innings
against Bucky's effective tossing.
Walters thus became the first big
league hurler to notch a ninth VIC
tory.
Yanks' Penchant Backfires.
Two top-ranking National League
hurlers clashed as Walters tangled
with Max Lanier, and Billy South
worth followed a second ace, George
Munger, in relief, but the Cincy No.
man took the nod on two un-
earned runs.
Since 1885 the Yankees have been
home run kings of the Harridge
loop, but the blow that built the big
stadium in the Bronx has been
backfiring against the world champs.
In AZ games only 20 Yanks have
homered, against 81 by the opposi-
ton, the latest being Roy Partee's
first round -tripper of the season in
the last of the ninth yesterday to
give Boston an 81 twilight edge.
The Red Sox pounded Joe Page
for five runs in the first, but the
New Workers rallied before dropping
their ninth in II starts.
Washington pulled out of the cell
lar by beating the AS, 7-5.
Indians Nose Out Browns.
Cleveland punched three hits In
the fifth to down the st. Louis
Browns. 4-3. in night game. Dou-

bine, who Is setting the American
League on fire with his slugging
feats, provided the winning margin
over Jack Kramer, who allowed but
six hits. The Detroit Chicago game
was postponed because of rain.
Shortstop Eddie Stanky, recently
acquired from the Cubs, bowed in
as Brooklyn shortstop to steady the
Dodgers infleld in a double triumph
over the Fhils, So and 81. Les
Webber, who relieved Hal Gregg In
the opener, and Eddie Head, who
went all the way in the nightcap,
were the winners.
Bill Voiselle grabbed his sixth
victory in 13 starts as the New York
Giants shaded Boston, ga, and
Chicago rioted with eight runs in
the second but had to keep pressing
to trim Pittsburgh, 1916.
