WALSHNow York, April 9—George Horizontal lluth. the pale and interesting ntvalid. will arrive iu New York on a stretcher today as exhibit A in ft series of casualties that has taken a heavy toll among major league hall clubs during the current training season. Three National League clubs, New York, Chicago and Cincinnati, and two In the American, New York and Philadelphia, have been affected.Tlio Chicago Cubs, hailed as a strong pennant contender at the outset, have bogged down on a flat tiro because of injuries to Maranvlle and Grigsby. JTho Rab-| hit will be out of the line up until June at least because of a broken leg and no greater disaster could have been visited upon the club. Ho was expected to furnish the vital spark of the In field defense with IloUocher unable to report. Grigsby had been elated as the regular center fielder until bo broke a collar bone.Two clays ago the Philadelphia Athletics were regarded as a dangerous contender iu the American League. Now, without Joe Hauser, first baseman, they are just a ball club. Hauser fractured his kneo in an exhibition game with tho Phillies and is lost for the season.The Giants arc fortunate in that Frank Frisch was injured early iu tho traiuing season andis now convalescent. Ho played with the club in yesterday’s game with the Senators, but was forced to favor his injured kneo at all times. It isn't likely that Frisch will be himself until several weeks of the 1925 campaign have been completed.The indefinite loss of Charley Bresson, high priced young man from St. Paul, has not hit the Rods as hard as it might have, owing to the fact that Jack Hendricks is well heeled with m-ficlders.

Dr. Edward King, club physician, who attended Ruth on tho occasion of several of his previous illnesses, Is of Iho opinion that ho is nono too slowly eating his way out of baseball.When tho gentleman arrives, feet first, today, he ml] be Informed htat he has been placed on a permanent diet, in which heavy meals will bo strictly taboo. In only this manner, club officials say, can Ruth's career be carried forward to Its natural conclusion.dc1J
