Landis' Ruling
May Cost Yanks
Rutli and Flas;
l
Bambino's Defiance Might
Remove Him From Base
Ball Meusel Second
To "Babe."
New York, Dee. 12.-Babe Ruth'i
open defiance of Judge Landis, high
commissioner of base ball, will cost
the New York club at least $100,(100
if, indeed, it does not remove the
colorful Bambino from the pale of
organized base ball entirely and
render him a dead asset to the Yan
kees. Judge Landis has given the an
swer to the oft-repeated query: "Is
Kuth bigger than base ball?" and
it was a reply that is not likely to be
modified by a pica of extenuating
circumstances.
By suspending Ruth, Bob Meusel
and Bill Piercy until May 20, 1922,
isnd fining them their shares of the
world's series prize money, which
are being held in escrow, Judge
Landis tossed a bombshell into the
American league. While the sever
ity of the punishment was not un
expected, the verdict carries harsh
provisions that were not anticipated.
Ruth's employers were prepared
to stand a heavy financial loss, but
had hoped in some way to have the
sentence modified so that the home
run king could train with the Yan
kees next spring and then keep in
condition until his suspension was
lifted.
Will Babe Stand Hitched? -'
By outlawing the Babe entirely
until late in May Judge Landis prob
ably will drive him into an.alliance
with , independent promoters and
thus prematurely end a great career.
Kuth has many offers and it will
require great tact and persuasion on
the part of the Yankee colonels to,
Leep him "hitched" until he can free
himself in the manner suggested by
the official verdict.
- Ruth's ill-advised barnstorming
lour last fall netted him less than
$5,000. The interest on this, as
charged by Judge Landis, can easily
amount to ten times the principal.
Aside from what Ruth is worth
as a box office attraction on a spring
training trip and the first month of
a championship season, the strong
possibility of his quitting organized
base ball now looms up. Babe
can undoubtedly make big moriey
on independent bookings next sea
son, but after that he may not do so
well. Home run records off bush
pitchers do not greatly interest base
ball fans.
Once Ruth breaks away he will be
done as a Yankee. He will soon be
28 years old and he is getting heavy.
He might trade on his reputation in
a third major league if he could
find promoters to start one. How
ever, the costly Federal league is
still frSsh in the minds of the pro
moters and money is tight right
now.
Halts Record Making.
In any event Ruth is not going to
be the heroic figure he was in 1920
and last season. If he quits he will
be a total loss to the club, and if he
sticks, but does not go into training;
until late in May, he may not regain
his form until midsummer.
And with a month sliced off his
season he has practically no chance
to equal or even approach his home
run records of the past two seasons.
To the loss incurred by Ruth's
suspension must be added the ex
pense of securing two new outfield
ers with which to start the next
championship season. The chances
of the Yankees repeating as cham
pions under these circumstances are
anything but bright. Failure then,
with no Ruth to draw the crowds,
and with no world's series to top the
season, could easily run the Yankee
losses up to $500,000.
The more one considers the Lan
dis decision the tougher it gets.

ARMS AND THE MENU.
Fancv and assorted diplomats are
going back to Europe to buy their
own meals.
Nothing was accomplished at
Washington conference that couldn't
have been done by mail order system
except eating. Meeting was triple
alliance of before, after and mbe
tween dinner speeches. We got
turope so into habit of being fed
that when transatlantic biscuits
stopped arriving over there, they
came over here to get them.
' Dips might cut down size of skir
mish boats and battle barges, but
you didn't pipe them slicing down
number of knives and forks. Spoons
and ladles will be kept right up to
full war power. '
Mons. La Blink and Sig. Spiggoty
had great time traveling around with
their napkins tied around their necks
in self-defense. Minister plenipoten
tiaries and ambassadors extraordi
nary leaped from meal to meal like
fleas at dog show. They were wined
and dined by clubs, building so
cieties, sororities, sewing circles,
syndicates and protective tenant
leagues.
Way disarmament convention
acted, delegates must think next war
will be fought in somebody's kitchen.
They scrapped imported gas masks
in favor of domestic nosebags. (
Barroom politics gives way to buf
fet diplomacy. Full battle strength
of modern nation consists of 144
piece dinner set. Full stomachs
maketh empty heads, but there's
something to business of stuffing
visiting diplomats. Sims and Harvey
would have done much better if they
had scooted around England with hot
hot potatoes in their months.
So far as this arms conference is
concerned, each dip seemed to think
his stomach was official ballot box
and each morsel of food one vote.
Impossible to tell jost what was
accomplished at Washinginn unless
touring delegates submit to X-ray.

AT THE
THEATERS
FOR the first time In his career as
an actor, th film favorite, C'arlyle
jniaeKweii, is playing an Omaha en
eragement. He has temporarily left the
picture field, and is appearing at the
Orpheum In the one-act comedy, "Eight,
Six and Four." Ths laughable play was
especially written for him by Mark Swan.
Another of the stellar attractions thin
week is the dance production of spirited
numbers by ths Spanish dancers. Eduardo
and Elisa Cansino, whose program in
cludes a few American danceB. The big
society night audience last evening was
much taken with both of these stellar
offerings, and also with the concert per
formance ef Count Perrone, baritone, and
Miss Oliver, sophrano. ,
All critics agree that Florence Reed In
"The Black Panther's Cub" playing at
the Brandels this week establishes a new
record for emotional acting. She assumes
four distinct roles In this production, and
in each she is perfection. Her work in
the dual role In the last few scenes is
truly the work of a great artist. W. K.
Ziegfeld in presenting his first photo
drama spared nothing in making "The
Black Panther's Cub" lavish In settings
and ,ln costumes it is a work of art.
Don Alfonso Zelaya, son of the former
president of Nicaragua, is appearing Rt
the Empress this week In an offering of
wit, amusement and philosophy. He will
play any classical selection asked for by
the audience. An act which la deserving
of a place in any well-appointed vaude
ville show, is that offered by Taylor,
Macy and Hawks, the three aces of
comery and song. They are most pleasing
with their harmonious voices and comedy
banter.
One of the brightest soubrettes oh the
burlesque stage, Dolly Barringer, appears
at the Gayety theater, with "The Lew
Kelly Show," headed by that wonderful
interpreter of the dope, Lew Kelly. Miss
Barringer has been termed 'the bundle
of springs." This attraction is one of
Jack Singer's best. Ladies' matinee rt
2:15 daily all week.
The remarkably successful Chinese
American comedy. "East is West," with
Fay Balnter in the stellar role of Ming
Toy, and which will be seen, here at the
Brandels theater for three days starting
next Monday. December 19th. has the
distinctive record of two years In New
York, and one season divided between
Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago. Miss
Painter s Ming Joy nas necome so popu
lar that she could go on playing it in
definitely. Just as Warfield has played
the "Music Master."

Oddly enough when Leitrice Joy
cut the birthday cake in "Poverty of
Riches," playing; at the Sun theater,
she drew the cherished wedding ring;
for which every girl secretly
hopes. This was coincidental with
the fact that Miss Joy was supposed
to draw the ring, and to be married
in the next scene. "Now I wonder
if the hand of Fate was in this, and
if it really means anything in my
young life?" the pretty actress
wanted to know.
Her engagement to Jack Gilbert,
screen actor and director, was an
nounced soon thereafter.
