INJURY TO BABE RUTH.
Every Day in Hospital Costs $500.
UNCERTAIN PERIOD.
Boston, April 23, Babe Ruth, who suffered an in- jury to his right leg yesterday in a game with the Boston Red Sox, will be obliged to remain in the hospital here for several days, physiclans said to-day after examining his in- juries.
When Ruth will return to the Yankee's line-up is uncertain.
Ruth suffered a contusion on the left leg between the knee and thigh. Every day that Ruth lies in the hospital it is something like $500 pent by Jake Rupert, for that is what Ruth costs for every playing day. United Presa.
