"Deliberately" taking out the fielder is allowed under some circumstances in all rules codes. So, just because the runner deliberately did this doesn't tell us anything.
If the question is "whose call is it?", then it should be BU's call becasue the ball wasn't thrown. But, if BU truned, PU should also be watching and can make any needed call.
IF the question is, "Was this interference?" then you need to give more information -- rules code (I assume OBR, since you said Babe Ruth), and where the contact was made, and any other actions by the runner.
