How They Stand

I

By Associated Press) NEW YORK, May 19 If the sun shines tomorrow and all of the telegraph wires between New York and

Chicago don't break, down Just before

midnight tonight, Babe Ruth will be 'trying to hit his first home run of the championship when the game between the Yankees and the St. Loul3 Browns gets underway before a world's series size crowd at tLe Polo grounds. Many a Manhattan heart Is all a quiver today as hour piles upon hour, stretching time toward the mystic midnight when a sleepy-eyed messenger boy will amble out of the .Yankees' business office with a message addressed to Commissioner K. M. Landls respectfully asking if Ruth and Bob Meusel, who was suspended with him can be reinstated after their six week3 exile and If everything Is all right. From the moment the blue-clad leaves the office until another returns

with a reply from Chicago saying, briefly, "Sure, go ahead," New York fans will hold their hands over their mouths to keep their hearts from Jumping out. Anxious to Get Back. Both the Bambino and Meusel are anxious to get back Into the game. Ruth has ben so sick of it all that he could not 6tand or sit . to see the Yankees in a game without him and, by way of diversion has spent a few afternoons at the Jamaica race track. Meusel, less sentimental, has spent the afternoons in the grand stand learning and suffering. : The two have been practicing from

until 11:30 every morning ati

me poio grounds before a worshipful j audience of white coated pop and tobacco venders who cheer lustily and ?pocket the foul balls knocked into the v grandstand. A recruit pitcher and a sqund of ambitious fielders have kept up gyrating marathons out toward the fences, making the workout snappy. Each morning the exiles began by playing "pass" tossing the ball to each other. They then went In for a bit of chasing fungo flies. But the emphasis is on the batting, loosening their shoulder muscles and sharpening, their batting eyes. The workout usually ended with a run circuiting the field once or twice, finally winding up in the clubhouse, the showers and a rub down. ' In their last practice they appeared very business-like. The pitchers shot over fast ones and lobbed over a mixture of curves, affording opportunities galore for making backs more supple. Ruth swung wide of a number, but he really did not like to see even a bad one go by. 'I haven't hit a good one all morning," he shouted to Meusel when he left the field, ignoring several that he dumped into the faraway grandstand.

the Dempsey entourage will run into

more contracts probably on the pier. It is expected that Tex Rickard will be there with a fountain pen, a "dotted line" and words about Dempsey and Harry Wills. Any suggestion of a match with Jess Willard is not seriously considered by the boxing fans. Dempsey returns to America in the same luxurious suite in which he left. He wasn't sick going over, but the wireless has not yet recorded his condition coming back.

The Brookville high school track team did not form much opposition for the Richmond lads in the dual meet held at Reid Field, Earlham, Thursday afternoon, and the local athletes copped every first place in the meet except two events which resulted in a tie, in the high jump and pole vault.
