New York, Apr. 9 (By A.

Early reports from attending physicians said that Ruth had a slight concussion of the brain and a possible fracture of the skull, but these were later denied at the hospital by Dr. Edward King, the New York American League doctor, who gave the home run slugger a thorough examination upon his arrival.
