Albert Brennan, who has served as Ruppert's right hand man for the last 27 years without official title, said the colonel hovered between weary consciousness and a semi-coma and went lo sleep just before 11 o'clock.

Relatives Are Summoned. I've been sick a long time, haven't Al?" Ruppert said to Brennan just before he went to sleep. "But, you know what? I'm going to get better." Brennan said he could not see how Ruppert could survive many more hours of the illness that developed into complications from an attack of phlebitis inflammation of the veins! suffered last April. He has been confined much of the time since. A brother, George, and other members of the family were summoned to the bedside in the Ruppert town house on upper Fifth avenue.

SpeciaLl Babe Ruth, baseball's best known figure, tonight was a patient in. French hospital awaiting a cardo-graphic examination which is to be made tomorrow morning under the direction of his personal physician, Dr. Robert H. McConnelL Babe, whose mighty bat changed the- whole character of baseball, entered the hospital today on the recommendation of Dr. McConnell for a general checkup, a routine examination he will undergo regularly in ths future if he follows his physician's advice.

Dr. McConnell denied anything serious was wrong with Ruth. "It is just that Babe has reached that stage in life now where he should undergo a complete checkup at regular intervals," the physician said. "To look at him you wouldn't think there is a thing wrong with him, and indications are there isn't. If we find him sound in every respect he will be out of the hospital within a few days." Mrs.

Ruth Isn't Worried. Mrs. Claire Ruth likewise minimized the Babe's condition. "Babe isn't a sick man," she saidj "Dr. McConnell just thought he needed a thorough examination and Babe went down to the hospital.

He's been active in baseball for so long and has been golfing so much we thought it time to get some medical advice on a set routine to guide him in whatever activities he plans for the future.
