BABE TOO ANXIOUS, SAYS COL. HUSTON BY DAVIS J. WALSH (L. N. S. Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, April 5 — According to best advice, George Herman Ruth, the well known reformer, is just beginning to realize that a swing in time save nine, as he wanders disconsolately thru the southland. George hasn't been hitting the size of his footprint for several weeks, and opinion on the subject is variable. It seems that George has had a recurrence of his old trouble in swinging ahead of the ball and in consequence is a victim of an aggravated case of "pulling". Pitchera of both the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New Orleans have cutguessed him without trouble and are pitching to him boldly under the impression that the "groove" the Giant staff is alleged to have discovered during successive world's series is fact and not fiction. Colonel T. L. Huston, half owner of the prize exhibit, does not hold with this, however. The colonel has viewed with adequate concern the unrequited efforts of his star and believes he has the answer. Mr. Ruth, no longer the rollicking, debonair figure of other days, is trying too hard, the colonel believes. He is pressing, as a golfer would put it. "The Babe will start hitting as soon as he catches hold of a few and gets his swing timed," Colonel Huston declared today. "There is nothing the matter with him now, except that he is so much in earnest about his comeback that he has become just a bit too anxious. In a couple of days, he may be clubbing all pitchers impartially. "In fact everything points to Ruth having a great year. He has trained downto 200 pounds, his lowest weight in five years, and is so determined to rehabilitate himself that he is overstretching in his efforts to make good. Once he meets a few balls squarely, he will be right back in stride." "I place no faith in the theory that KILBANE GOES EAST (By International News Service) NEW YORK, April 5 — In answer to a report that Johnny Kilbane was coming to New York to deman recognition, William Muldoon, chairman of the New York commission, today elivered another blast. "I will hold to my promise to give Kilbane a chance if he will meet Dundee." Muldoon declared. "It is not difficult to account for Kilbane's irritation. He always has boxed on a guarantee but knows he must accept a percentage of the receipts here." EAST VS.

Jacobs, army physician on trial for the alleged murder of Fritz Mann, beautiful young dancer, was charged today with signing the name "Alvin C. Johnstone and wife" on the register of the Blue Sea Cottages at La Jolla on the Sunday evening of the mysterious death of the girl.

It was brought out today that a closed car similar to the one driven by the doctor was seen standing on the lonely stretch of beach below Torrey Pines on the Sunday evening.
