"The doctor took out a lancet

"'There. he said, as the blood
trickled out. 'Look at that blood.

" 'Not at all.' said the hypoch

Miss Delores Dixon Charges
Baseball Player Assault
ed Her at Times.
NEW YORK. March 13. Geo.
Herman "Babe' ' Ruth' has been
made defendant in a suit for $50,-
000 brought by attorneys for Mlss'on the Rhine are completely sur
Do'ores Dixon, 19, who charges
that the baseball player assaulted
her at various times last summer,
Ruth's attorney disclosed tonight.
The attorney, Hyroan Bushell,
said Ruth declared he was be
ing blackmailed, in a telegram
from New Orleans signed by him
self and Mrs. Ruth today, said he
would not "pay a cent, but would
fight the charge to the limit."
Mr. Bushell said the complain
ant who until two weeks ago,
occupied an apartment on River
side Drive, had since disappeared
and all- efforts to find her to learn
more about her have been futile.
George Fernberg, attorney for
Miss Dixon, said today he knew
where his client was but would
not reveal her whereabouts un
til the proper time arrived."
Ruth learned about the Impend
ing suit last November 14, when
according to Mr. Bushell. Jfche
girl's counsel served the ball play
er k with a summons. Fernberg
was authority for the statement
that "the Babe," when the papers
were served, refused to consider
them seriously.
On December 2, Ruth's attor
ney first appeared as counsel for
the defendant; Then, last Feb
ruary 24, after Ruth had gone
south to join his club for the
spring training, a complaint set
ting forth the charges made by
Miss Dixon was filed with Mr.
Bushell.
