Home Run King Out of Game With Severe Cold; Yank Attack Weakened
NEW lORK, Sept. 29.—Babe Ruth, home run king, l suffering with a severe cold and was not able to play this afternoon against Phlludeiphia. The Yankees left him In .New York when they entrained for Philadelphia at 11 a. m. Physicians who examined Ruth, said he probably would be hack iu the game tomorrow. Ed Barrow, business manager of the Yankees, deelared that the Babe s illness was not •extremely serious.” Withdrawal of Ruth from the game at the most important point in tho pennant race seriously influences tho Yankees' chances for holding their lead of one and one half games over CleTelaud. The entire Yankee attack built around Ruth will he considerably weakened by his absence. The Yankee star caught oold while out anto riding with his wife and Bill Fleroy, New- York pitcher. Just night. When he returned home he complained of fever and a doctor was summoned immediately. The doctor said the champion slugger is In rundown condition but he believed he might be able to play at Philadelphia tomorrow, although it would be better for him to stay in bed for Several day s. Sirs. Ruth said her husband was anxious to join the dub and she believed he would go to Philadelphia tomorrow morning if the doctor will permit it. By JACK VEIOCK. International News Bports Editor. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 29—" We hope to clinch ths pennant before we go back home and I think the boys can do it, bat you never can tell what to expect in baseball.” Miller Huggins, diminutive manager of the parade-leading New York Tanks, who led his team Into Philadelphia today to tackle Connie Mack's Athletics In a twogame series, was the speaker. "It’s been a long, hard race,” nug gins continued. "1 never saw such a fight. Put it's just about over now and we-feel pretty sure of our ground. I don't think Cleveland can head us off They’ve got too tough an assignment In Chicago, and I don't think there is a team In either league that is good enough to take four straight from the White Sox. X know they’ve always been tough tor us to crack.” , , As the race In the American League stands today, the Yanks must win three out of four games to clinch the pennant, providing Cleveland takes four stralgh from Kid Gleason's Sox. Should the Indians lose today and the Yanks defeat the Athletics, New York's task will be much simpler for then one victory will give them the pennant.” While the knock down-and-drag-out fight was continued by the l'anks amt Indians, the Giants enjoyed another offday in Gotham, awaiting the coming oi the Boston Braves to the Polo Grounds for the Mathewxon benefit. With a lead of 314 games over the Pirates. McGraw s bovs are not worrying. If the < ards defeat Pittsburgh today New York will need but one more victory to clinch the National League flag. BUNN STILL HAS HOPES. CLEVELAND, Sept. 20.—James C. Dunn, president of tho Cleveland baseball club, has not yet given up hope of winning the American League pennant. "f will not coni ede the Yankees the pennant vet.” he said. "Don t blame the bov3 if they fail to bring the pennant back. They did the best they could. Anyone who saw the last game ut New York will testify they went down fighting.

INDIANS AGAIN DISPLAY PUNCH Tribe Closes Brewer Series Today, After Beating Visitors Twice Wednesday. The Indians were to meet Milwaukee today In the last game of the sories, with the chance of going into fourth place if St. Paul was able to knock oft Toledo again like it did yesterday. The Tribe Is just betwixt and between fourth and sixth places. One-half a game separates Hendricks' team from fourth place, but the same small margin Is all that keeps Milwaukee below the locals In the percentage column. Quite a' little race is developing in these closing days of the A. A to see what outfit will trail the first division and also what club will lead the procession of the last four. Yesterday, behind a good brand of pitching, the Indians stepped out and over the Egan crew, taking both contests and forging into fifth place by a scant three point lead The first game was decided by a 3 to 1 count when Pug Cavet set the near-beer Brewers down with seven scattered hits Four of the hits tame in the first two iunings and two double plays extinguished the firo in those frames, although one run eased over in the second. In the second encounter Bartletjt. who has been looking like a different pitcher lately, allowed only five hits and should have shut them out. The score was 6 to 1. The l*>ne marker for Milwaukee came in the eighth inning, and was the result of two infield boots by E.-I>g and Sicking. Eddie's misplay was on a hard hit ball ami was more or less an excusable error The ex marine, Clark, back of the bat had lots of trouble stopping the speedy Tribesters In the second game and Shinners stole three bases, Sicking two and Baird one. Sherman didn't <eelp out much by keeping the runners close to the bases Shinners had a big day, stealing four buses, bitting a home run and grabbing a line drive off of Clark with one hand for a sensational catetr. Sherman, who no doubt wss pitching his best for the G. A. It. veterans, marched along in fine style until the big eighth when, forgetting the record of the famous general, he faltered and was bombarded for three runs. Kehg, who was on by a fielder’s choice, was tripled hen;.- by Covington and then Shinners Lit a homer to center and the damage was done.

American Warships Sailing fqrAmerica ROME, Sept. 29.—American ships which have been on patrol duty In the Adriatic Sea since the armistice are preparing to sail for American waters on Saturday, it was learned here today. MORE THAN FOOD NEAR EAST NEED Woman Member of American Commission Says Education Necessary. America must do mot* than feed the war sufferers and the refugees in th* Near East, if It Intends to provide lasting relief for the thousands whose only hope In life is aid from America, according to Mrs. Florence Spencer Duryea, who returned recently from Europe. She la the only women member of a commission sent over by the Near East Relief. Eleven countries were visited by the party, although the official inspection was limited to Armenia, Georgia and Turkey. Mrs. Duryea says that wonderful work Is being done by-Near East Relief in caring for 110,000 orphans, but tha, everywhere she was oppressed by the fact that so much more should be done, and that the American people should be brought to realize that more money is essential to give lasting aid. She believes that next to food, education is the greatest essential. A boat load of teachers, such as were sent over to the Philippines in the early days of occupation there, would effect good in the Near East, shq believes. “The first impressioYi I got of the Near East," Mrs. Duryea said, "was that it was a land of orphans. It is tragic to see is and thousands of helpless children in barren rooms, many of them suffering from trachoma, which is one of the terrible problems of that affected part of the world. When, passing through street after street, you see the victims huddled in the dark passages and dare not touch them or objects near them, a chill of depression and hopelessness overtakes you. In Alexandropol 12.000 children are housed In old Russian barracks, and the congestion, particular ly In the hospitals, is so great that in many cases four children have to sleep on one cot.”
