Babe Ruth Will Enter Hospital For Examination By Henry L. Farrell. United Press Staff Correspondent New York, June 30- The inspiration of Babe Ruth, which carried the Yankees to the top of the American league in recent years, is lost to the tribe of Huggins for the rest of the season. The Rabe himself may get back into the game, but his spirit is gonej and he would Just be the ninth man 1 on the hall team. Ruth is going'To a hospital her». Thursday to have an X-ray taken of his right ankle, believing the bone' Is chipped. This comes on the heels| of an injury to his left leg and ankle, j which were swollen last week. •I'll be lucky if 1 play again this! season,” the Babe said, his petulant, boyish mouth drooping even lower! than usual. ‘‘And 1 certainly don't! expect to have any luckl” Ruth is in one of those frames of mind that go with rainy picnic days.l To add to his physical difficulties, the Yankee slugger is reported to be in financial straits. The farm at Sudbury, Mass., where, the Babe once kept his promise to the! kids of New York and got into condition to hit more homers than anyone alse, has been put. up for sale. Ruth says he isn't disposing of it because he needs the money, but, on the other hand, it is not a sign of prosperity. He wants $50,000 for the farm. o Veteran Umpire Let Fans ‘‘Call” Tough One Although his twenty years' service in the big leagues has earned Billy Evans, veteran American League arbiter, the reputation of "calling 'em as he sees 'em" regardless of clamor from the stands, he practically left the toughest decision of his carter to the fans for settlement. In the current installment of his reminiscences, appearing in Liberty magazine, Billy Evans tells the story on himself as it occurred in the second game of a world's series between Pittsburgh and Detroit. Incidentally, it was the first world's series game Evans ever had umpired. "My partner was Bill Klein, who also was umpiring his first World Series," he says. "The game was played at Forbes Field, Pittsburgh, and on account of the crowd it was necessary to have ground rules. The rules provided that a ball hit fair into the permanent stands in the outfield was a home run, and a ball hit fair into the temporary stands was good for a two-base hit. "In Pittsburgh's half of the first , inning Pittsburgh's second baseman , hit a terrific drive to right field. I , was behind the plate, so the decision . was up to me. But the pesky bull, ; after bitting the ground fair, bounced high in the air and disappeared in the . stands. Which stand it went into 1 didn't know —so I couldn't te'l of it j was a two-bagger or a home run. "Klein couldn't help and the fans were setting up a hullabaloo that could be heard for miles. For no particular reason except to think. I started walking out toward right held the two managers, Hughie Jennings , and Fred Clarke, following me. The stands literally were rocking with demands for a decision. ‘‘As 1 neared the extreme limits of , right field I approached the section in the temporary stands occupied by the Pitt; burgh Loyal Rooters' Club. They started shouting to me, and almost the first words were the very inspiration 1 had been waiting for! ‘“Hey, you're not going to call that a foul, are you? Are you blind?' "Os course I wasn’t even thinking of calling it a foul. I had seen it strike fair. But' 1 didn't let on what was in my mind. "‘I don’t know.' I answered. ‘l'll have to rely on you for a little help Was it fair or foul?’ "Fair!" they yelled as one- man. "‘All righth, then, where did it land?' ‘"The ball landed right here.’ A burly rooter had stood up and was brandishing the ball. ‘I caught it and here it is. Just try and get it.' “1 recognized him as a leader of the J oyal Rooters. “That makes it look ’.ike a twobagger Fred,' I said to Clarke. ‘One of your own rooters offers the proof.' "That, I believe, was the toughest decision I ever made.” —, A o — 4 ! 4 ! 4 ! d !s S , 4 s 4 ! -T4 s! » ! ‘S Si »‘4‘T4 s * HOME RUN LEADERS + •9 + 4- + 4" 4* 4 + •> * 4 4 4 'l' <!• Hornsby, Cardinals, 21.
