June 26—(U.R)—Rabe Ruth. the.all-time home run king, was benched yesterday apparently because of weakness at hat for the first time since he became a big league star.

Young Dixie Walker replaced him in left field. Ruth made six trips to the plate in yesterday’s opening game without hitting safely as the Tigers won. 6 to 5, in 12 embattled innings that saw much bickering wi h the umpires and the Yankee pitcher. Johnny Allen, banished for shouldering Umpire George Hildebrand. Hank Greenberg drove in Gehringer in the 12th with the winning ru t.
