Ruth listened to the story painted | County League | made famous by Frank Baker and | the millionaire backers of the cir-| cuif.

Ruth, still loyal to Man- ager Jack Barry, got his manager on the telephone. The consequences was Johnson was advised what was going on. Miller had returned to Upland and got in conference with John P. Crozer and Albert R, Granger, pre- sident and vice-president of the | club. A few hours later Ruth re-| ceived a telegram stating that in- cluding the meeting of the Ameri- san League salary, the Upland team would pay his wife's expenses here and pay whatever fine the Ameri- can League imposed at the end of the season for his jumping to the "millionaire" circuit. Ruth took this telegram to Man- ager Jack Barry and again Ban Johnson was advised. Late Satur- day night the American head hand- ed out Ruth's mild punishment. PROVE PHILLIES BETTER. Moran's Men Hit and Field Better Than Giants. Just as the averages are daily proving, figures of the half season mark show that in the American League Boston and Chicago are working toward the same end with <uch concentration that there is litile difference in leir accoriplish- ments. However, by using the same pre- cess of figuring with the Phillies and Giants the subjects, the Phillies shonld be leading. Including all games to date tne champion Red Sox have scorel 245 runs, have hit safely 513 runs. have accepted 2,644 chances in the field, and have committed eighty-five er- rors. Against this record the White Q0x Lave scored 256 runs, have 518 Lits to their credit, have accepted 2,- 644 chances and have perpetrated eighty-six errors.
