BABE RUTH IS LOST TO TEAM I King Os Swat Is Benched When His Legs Go Bad Yesterday I (United Press Service) i New York, June 25 —Babe Ruth is lost for the rest of the season as a regular and he may be but a fewsteps from the end of his career. I The Babe was benched yesterday ■ 'in Washington when his legs became I so swollen ami sore that lie couid j hardly walk. Before the team left ; New- York. 1t was known the Babe was not in good shape and that the management had become reconciled to tiie fact tliat lie could not lie used much lopger. , 11. is an established fact that a player in the major leagues lasts [ only as long as his legs. When he is an old man Babe Ruth may be able to stand at the bat and hit them because a good eye lasts long. John McGraw today can stand at the plate and show a rookie how to hit, but he cant give him an actual demonstration of fielding and base running Cobb and Speaker are slowing up ■net because their eyes are getting bad or their arms are losing strength but because their legs are going back on them. For a big bulky man. the Babe always has had rather slight legs and several veteran trainers expressed the opinion years ago that his career would not be as long as Cobb's, Speaker's or Collins’. They said tliat he was not built to last and that he used himself up too much. Without the Babe in there every i day there is slight hope for the Yankees to get anywhere in the American league pennant race as the team is pretty well shot. o J.
