RUTH DEFIES AUTHORITY OF JUDGE LANDIS Upheaval Threatened in Baseball as Result of Babe’s Own Idea of Rules. CONFERENCE ON TODAY" CHICAGO, Oct. 17.—The baseball future of "Babe’’ Ruth, the mighty honje run mauler of the New York Yanks, was to be settled here today, it was expected, with the arrival of Judge K. M. Land.is from New York. Banishment of Ruth from organized baseball was a possibility. Ruth at Buffalo yesterday defied an edict of Judge Landis, baseball commissioner, by playing an exhibition game. Judge Landis had ruled that none of the members of the pennant winning teams In the major leagues would be allowed to engage in "barnstorming tours.” Ruth, it is understood, claims he had agreed to play in Buffalo before Landis promulgated his order and that he could not violate his contract with Buffalo promoters. It was pointed out here today that the rule which prohibits barnstorming by members of pennant winning clubs was not made by Judge Landis. It was adopted at a meeting of the advisory committee before the last championship season started. The rule follows: "Section S. (b) —Both teams that contest in the world’s series are required to disband immediately after its close, and the members thereof are forbidden to participate in exhibition games during the year in which the world's championship was decided.” It was pointed out, also, that the old National commission had a similar regulation, but it never was enforced. "Baseball law must be enforced," Judge Landis thundered today when he arrived today in Chicago. Arriving at ms office. Judge Landis took under advisement the alleged violation of baseball law by Ruth. Meusel and Piercy of the New York Yankees. “Ruth, on the face of evidence I have, has violated provisions of the baseball law that I had no hand In making,” said Landis. “I Inherited the rules of the game when I became head of baseball and I am going to see that the rules are; enforced ‘‘On the face of things, Ruth has vlo lated that section of the world’s series agreements which forbids participants in the world's series to play after the series Is over ‘‘l want to give this message to lawabiding baseball players and to the public—baseball law will be enforced.” The judge said he would give the case and all the evidence involved his closest consideration before announcing bis decision. Landis, in his high position, can suspend Ituth and the others for a period of time ad -••-’aw them forever from organized baseball. An offer oi *-...*)0 for six months work will he made to Ruth by William Niesen, prominent Chicago semi-pro club owner, in the event Ruth is barred from organized baseball. Niesen announced today. “If Babe gets 'in bad,’ on this issue, he can hang up his sweater iu oi r ball park,” Niesen said.

RUTH CONTINUES POST SEASON TRIP BUFFALO, Oct. 17—Defying Judge Landis, the high commissioner of baseball. Babe Ruth today left for Elmira on his barnstorming trip. Judge Landis ruled that no member of the Yankees or Giants—the world's series teams —could participate in post-season games. Directly challenging Landis’ authority, Ruth, Bill Piercy and Bob Meusel, all of the Yankees, took part In a game against the Polish Nationals here ycaterui.. “I have done my duty to the American League.” Ruth said. "If it is against organized baseball law that I can't play in the ‘of season' I think It Is unfair, unjust and un-American. We will continue our tour. * aui c..g this with full knowledge of wnat it may mean and am not worrying about the consequences. I believe I* am right, and that it is time a move of this kind was made for the ball players. The interests of organized baseball are served when a man gives them full effort and carries out every phase of his contract for the season’s period. Whan the bell rings after the world's series, why should I, or any other player, be kept from earning money? In no other business or .spurt in the world is such an unfair, unjust, one-sided rule tolerated, and I claim such arbitrary rules and restrictions do not belong to baseball. “i have done my full duty to the New York Ball Club and Owners Iluston and Ruppert.. I have done my full duty by u,t- .tuerican League tor the season of 5921 Myself and my mates were in there fighting our heads off to beat Cleveland, au.. a ...j n was playing tile outfield and giving all I had when 1 should have been in bed. But we wanted to win the jieunant for ourselves, for Manager Huggins and for Ruppert, Huston and Harrow. "We did win the pennant and then we did the best we could iu the world’s series. .An a few injuries, my own included, and a couple of bad breaks and the Giants beat us. That ended my duly to baseball for the season. As last year I had eousemed to play a number of exhibition games, and then it was announced Judge Landis declares it Is against baseball law and 1 must not play. "The baseball big guys have no right to keep me from earning what money > . r wess or reputation may bring me. The organizized baseball season Is over. My duty to organized baseball is done, but I can still earn money for Babe Ruth and I am going to do It. That’s why 1 came to Buffalo and played. I do not care to anticipate what Judge Landis may do. I am not worrying. I think the public will lie with me. When a man does his full duty, what more can they ask? I have the American right to my own liberty and to seize favorable opportunities to add to my income. Can Judge Landis abridge that right? I do not believe so. "Am tber hing, I think 1 am helping the cause of baseball. People who never get to see a big league game come to see these exhibitions. Only ten minutes ago a man brought his young son up and introduced him to me, and said he hnd driven from dean to see the game. That man has had his Interest aroused in baseball, and the game has gained anew fan and friend. Fieri/ .i.... Meusel announced emphatically that they entirely agreed with Ruth. Ruth, playing here yesterday, did not appear handicapped by the Injured arm which forced his withdrawal from the world’s series. He poled one home run. His team won, 4 to 2. They played on a sand lot as the International League Park was barred to them. HEYDLER HOLDS TO NINE GAMES NEW YORK, Oct. 17. President John Heydler. of the National League,' differs with Judge Landis, commissioner of baseball, on the advisability of returning to a seven-game world series, which was shh rule prior to 1909. Judge Landis said at the end of the recent series Thursday that he would recommend the change at the joint session of the major leagues next winter. "Asa member of the advisory council. 1 don't care to take Issue with Commissioner Landis, Mr. Heydler said. “Yet I can not help recalling clearly the unsatisfactory nature of a sevmi-game series and that it was chiefly, almost entirely, In response to public sentiment Id the matter that we were constrained nearly three years ago to extend the series to nine. It was for the sake of the game itself Jhat the action was taken. It haying become evident that the all-around strength nnd class of a team sometimes failed to be brought out and to tell Its story in a seven-game series. "Instances have arisen In which one remarkab'e pitcher was able single-hand-ed to decide the issue when the series •ailed for the best four out of seven

GOOD, MEDIUM AND BAD FOOTBALL ON CARD SATURDAY

If there Is any truth In that old saying /'to err is human, to forgive divine,” divinity mighty scarce iu Lafayette now. For the Purdue football team made errors Saturday against Notre Dame that can not be forgiven until the Boilermakers step out and win a football game in a clean-cut and decisive manner. But, even then any future victory will have little bearing on the 1321 Notre DninePurdue contest which resulted in a 23 to 0 Notre Dame victory. The fact, however, that Purdue made numerous and inexcusable errors does not take away the brilliance of the Notre Dame team. The Irish were masters of the situation at all times, the fleet Mohart and his backfieid companions ramming through the Purdue line at will. Although the Catholics found it easier to play the kicking game, their defense held Purdue helpless during three quarters of the game and the simple fact, that they converted practically every Purdue misplay into an advantage speaks for the alertness of Rockne'e men. But Notre Dame also played a rather loose game that will have to be remedied In the immediate future If the Irish are again to reach that pinnacle of lame they clambered to last year. Notre Dame was penalized a total of 120 yards, as against 20 for Purdue, and in a close game such penalties would easily be sufficient to shift the tide. I’IKDUE BRACES IN' LAST PERIOD. Only in the last half, and particnlarly In the last quarter, did the game resemble a big college football contest. Purdue managed to bold onto the ball, Notre Dame penalties became fewer, and the battle became a fiercely contested and even struggle. Purdue marched the ball down to the Notre Dame twenty-five-yard line and Harris had two place kirks blocked in the closing minutes of play. Butler rolled up the highest score known to Hoosier college football in recent years when It trampled over Hano ver Saturday to the tune of 122 to 0. Incidentally, those 122 points raised Butler's stock many points In regard to the all-important contest with Wabash a week from next Friday. Hanover, by virtue of the fact that it had held both Franklin and Earlham to seven point victories, was expected to furnish the I'agemen some rather spirited opposi tlon, but the great work of the Butler back field, a clever passing attack and perfect interference, put the downstate invaders to rout with the first kick-off.

A . B. C.’s Stage Big Rally in Ninth to Defeat All-Stars Taylor's A. B. C.s with the addition of several colored league sturs staged a huge ninth inning rally yesterday iu their game with the Ali-Stars and batted out six ruus iu the ninth inning off Jess Petty and took the second contest of the fail series by the score of 8 to 3. Taylor stated after he had lost the first game of the series that be would have a real aggregation to throw against the leaguers iu the second game and he kept his word. An entire new outfield, a second baseman and a battery were obtained by "C. 1." and the way they delivered can be seen by looking at the score. Petty and Drake hooked up in a pretty pitching duel until the last frame. The All-Stars were leadiug until the fi.nal session by a3to 2 score. In the secon 1 inning Dixon's single sent Cavet home with the first run. In the fifth the AtlStars scored two more on hits by Cavet. Baird and Schreiber and a double steal on which Baird scored. Charleston s home run in the fourth tvuuted one for the A. B. C.s and Washington's single, steal, and Taylor's hit put another run over In the sixth. Then catne the big niutn. Here's how it happened. Blackwell started the trouble with a single. He was safe at second on Sicking's error and took third when Dixon threw wild to second. Pusses to Eggleston and Drake and hits by Shively, Washington and Charleston did the rest of the damage. The same two teams will meet in the third and "rubber" game of the series uext Sundry at Washington Park.

South Bend Eleven Puts Over 7 to 6 Victory in Big Match at Gas City GAS CITY, Ind., Oct. 17.—1n tbe hardest fought football game seen In Gas City in urany years the South Bend Arrows defeated the Gas City Tigers by a 7 to 6 score before a record crowd yesterday afternoon. The South Bend team lias been playing fast football this year, having defeated the Ft. Wayne Friars, 9 to 0, aud the crowd knew that there would be a great battle when the Arrows and Tigers clashed. Early In the game Gas City opened up a line-smashing attack that put the tall in the visitors' territory. A twenty-flve-yard forward pass, Baker to Woodruff, was captured by the big end, who ran fifteen yards to the three-yard line. Price plunged through for three yards and a touchdown. Keel failed to kick goal. Score: Gas City, 6: South Bend, 0. The Arrows appeared powerless to gain against the defense of the big Green and White athletes, and the Blue aud White team resorted to a punting game. It was near the close of the second period that the break came In the game. A Gas City back field man fumbled one of tbe sixty-yard spirals and the ball rolled ten yards in the direction of the goal line. The Gas City back tr.ed to pick up the ball iustead of falling on It. and Paster, right end for tbe Arrows, dove under him and fell on tbe ball on the threeyard line. Twice did the giant South Bend backs buck the line for no gain. Then Houghmel circled Gas City’s right end for a touchdown. Cuple kicked goal and the scOre was South Bend, 7; Gas City. 6. In the third period tbe South Bend team had the ball In Gas City's territory all of the time. The final period brought out some sensational footlall. Cuple missed a thirty-five-yard drop kick by inches during that final period, and It was South Bend's only chance to score in that quarter. Baker shot a thirty-five-yard pass to Woodruff, but the big man could not quite reach the ball, and the pass was Incomplete. Near the close of the game Baker completed a thirty-yard pass to Woodruff and the ball was within tl:r- shadow of the goal posts, and It was Gas City's chance to win. An Intercepted forward pass, caught by South Bend, halted the march to the goal, and the Arrows’ half back ran half the length of the field before being tackled.

A. A.s Hold Brooksides to 7-7 Tie Score The Riverside A. A s played the Brookside A. A.s to a 7 to 7 tie Sunday at the A. A.s field. The greater part of the game was contested in the middle of ‘he field, neither team having a great advantage. The A. A s were handicapped by the early injury of two of their star back field men. The Riverside aggregation held the Brooksides to a 0 to 0 score until the third quarter when both elevens scored a touch-down and kicked goal. Coach Browning is going to hold several stiff practices this week. The A. A.s will hook up with the Keystone Tigers Sunday at the A. A.s field and a large crowd is expected. New Leader at St. Joseph COLLEGEVII,LE, Ind., Oct. 17.—With Capt. Joseph Linder, star half back and promising leader of the season’s squad, t.cable to play as a result of injuries received in last Saturday’s game, St. Joseph’s varsity has chosen George Werner. quarter hack, as captain for the remainder of the grid season. Capt Werner is spending his "first year as a varsity man and wins his captaincy by his cleverness and fight on the gridiron. BROTVN BAY AT VALPO. VALPARAISO, Ind., Oct. 17— Brown day, in memory of the late 11. B.

at halves and McClaflin at full back, formed a back field that was a revelation to the spectators. The quartette skirted the ends and charged the line in a manner that showed plainly the power of the Page attack. Un one occasion Graham received the kick-off and ran through the entire Hanover team tor a touchdown. Hungate, Black and Phil Brown played yvell In the Butler line. The one redeeming feature in the play the Hanover eleven was the work of C. Van Antwerp at quarter. The little quarter back, with Butler players swarming In on him, got bis punts away from a pocket time after time for an aver age of forty-five yards. He was the only man on the visiting eleven that showed either the ability or inclination to tackle EAST THINKS HELL OF WABASH. Wabash won the praise of Eastern football critics by a game exhibition against the Army Saturday which resulted in a 21 to 0 victory for the Cadets. The final score does not begin to tell of the battle put up by the Hoosier eleven. In three quarters the game was a scoreless tie, ail of the Army scoring coming in the third quarter. In this quarter Wabash weakened and the Army seized its opportunity to put forth a supreme effort and shoved three touchdowns over the Wabash line. An uuaiysis of the game shows that both elevens gained about the same amount of ground. The Wabash line was a revelation to the soldiers, few gains being made through De Pauw Saturday took another step toward erasing the bad impression inaue by the Notre Dame massacre when the Old Gold warrior slammed Vaipo for a 41 to 0 victory. As little is known about the strength of Vaipo this year De Pauw backers cannot figure too strongly on the strength of Saturday's victory, but a 41 to 0 defeat of any Indiana college eleven Is not to be under rated. Not so much by the score, hut by the actual performance of the members of the team, De Pauw clearly demonstrated that it has come back and it is safe to predict that by the end of the season Walker's team will have reached the standard held by De Pauw teams of the past. The occasion Saturday was Old Gold day at De Pauw and a large home-coming crowd cheered the victory. About the only real upset of Indiana college football Saturday occurred when Rose Poly, following Its 70 to b defeat at the hands of Butler, outplayed, and outgeneraled the heavier Franklin eleven tor a 10 to U victory, In the first bouse appearance of the season of the Engineers. AT of the scoring was done In the first quarter, Rose shoving over a touchdown and then kicking goal, which was shortly followed by a beautiful forty-yard place kick by Gilbert. Franklin twice had the ball on the five-yard line but the lighter Rose players braced savagely and hetd for downs. Had the work of the Purdue team Saturday been half so good as that of the famous Purdue band before the game, the large crowd which packed every inch of Stuart field would have been treated to a great gridiron battle. Purdue fans breathed a great sigh of relief when Coughlin was called back in the first quarter after going twenty yards through the entire Purdue team for a touchdown, and the Notre Dame team penalized five yards for offside Tht sigh of relief turned into a real for-sure sigh though when In four more plays Mohardt went over for the first touchdown of the game. As nanal, Colonel ‘Blrk was the best man in a Purdue uniform. He was iu there every minute, fighting as hard at the last of the game as at the first Ho was In every mix-up, either at the top or bottom, and usually it was the bottom. The length of a Notre Dame gul:t was directly proportional to its distance from Birk. Notre Dante has enriched the great game of football by bringing to light a new and distinctive play known as the •fumble play.” which was tried out with great success against Purdue. The play, although comparatively simple, proved a great ground gainer for the Irish. The play In brief was this: a Notre Dame back t the start of a play would fumble. The ba'l would roll ten or twelve yards through the Purdue line and theu a Notre Dame man would fall on It for a substantial gain. Another unusual method used by the Irish to gain ground was to get a long punt away for fifty or sixty yards and then run down and fall on it after a Purdue man had successfully beaten the ha’ll away from him. Purdue soon foiled this method of attack, however, by refusing to touch the punts at all, prefcrlng to pin the ball back In play on the twenty-yard line after It had rolled over the goal line. Mohardt was to Notre Dame what Blrk was to Purdue. The work of the fleet Irish half back was the best seen on Stuart field iu a long while. The famed Irish aerial attack was kept fastened to its moorings throughout the contest. The Catholics attempted only one short pass, which was comp.eted. Purdue also tried but one pass and It was not completed. The failure of the Boilermakers to open up when hopelessly defeated surprised spectators, for efforts to drive through the Irish line were futije In every quarter with the exception of the last.

The spirit showed in the Purdue stands was of a high order. The students loyally supported a losing team Saturday. When Purdue finally does break loose and win a big football game, Lafayette Is going Into a state of eruption that will make Russia leek like Zion City. When the Purdue team came b.tek on the field at the start of the second half on the short end of a JO to U score, every man In the Purdue stands rose to Lis feet and cheered and sang, the baud played “Hail Purdue,” yell lenders went into convulsions and, in short, the team was accorded all the glory of conquering heroes. The demonstration seemed to put a lot of pep into the Boilermakers for after starting off with a couple of fumbles they settled down and held the invaders to 3 points in the remaining half. Coach Dietz was always standing on the sidelines waiting to throw his arm around the shoulder of a man leaving the field and slap him on the back with a few words of encouragement. On three different occasions when Purdue was forced to punt standing on Its own goal line, the loose playing of the Boilermakers came to light. Twice the punt went straight up in the air and the third time three Notre Dame men broke through, blocked the kick and fell on it for a touchdown. The fact that Purdue was penalized twenty yards as against 120 for Notre Dame Is the biggest thing that can be said about the play of the Lafayette eleven. Not until the third quarter did Purdue give the exhibition that had been expected of it and which the large crowd had been waiting for. With a display of stone that stopped Chicago the previous week. Dietz men braced and held Notre Dame for downs on the seven-yard line. Shortly after they started a march for the Irish goal that looked good for a score, but Harris had two place kicks blocked in the closing minutes of play. Shorty Macklin, who was sent in late in the last quarter, was Purdue’s best ground-gainer. Carmen, Birk and Macklin were the throe best performers for Purdue. Wright Strikes Out 20 GREENSBURG. Ind., Oct. 17. —Greensburg trimmed the Batesvilie nine here ye.-terday in a one-hit. one-run game with Bob Wright, Toledo Mud Hen pitcher on the mound for the locals. The soo’-e was 1 to 0. Wright struck out twenty of the twenty-eight batters that faced him and allowed but one hit, a single, the hatter being left on first base. Batesv lie sent in three pinch, bitters In the ninth inning and all were struck out by the Tol.-do pitcher. Boehler, pitching for Batesvilie, tossed a nice game, allowing but four scattered hits and striking out eleven men. He is a former Tiger burlev
