Ruth Decision Far Reaching by Howard G Reynolds
The Boston Post reports Babe Ruth received a one month suspension and forfeiture of 3362 World Series profits for barnstorming after the 1921 season. Judge Landis’s ruling bars reinstatement until May 2 1922, likely delaying Ruth’s 1922 Yankee return to June 1 and affecting gate receipts for New York and other clubs.
