In Baseball, Today Is Babe's Day
Up in Yankee Stadium today the man who was forgotten years
ago will be remembered. When Babe Ruth was a fat, retired ball
player clad in a lounging robe and hoping only for a chance to manage
a major league club, baseball passed him by. But when the most
colorful figure was stricken with a terrible illness
that nearly ended his life, baseball suddenly
remembered.
Of the millions of fans who will pay tribute
to Ruth today in the country's ball parks, or by
listening to the radios, probably 50 or 60 per cent
never saw him play. There will be a few who
recall the young Babe who was a great pitcher
for the Boston Red Sox, and thousands who re
member the older Ruth who was the greatest
home-run hitter and sports-page figure of all
time.
But the majority will pay tribute today to the
Ruth who fought the good fight and won, and
who from now on belongs to the kids. There
Vrmnei· stann. undoubtedly were more cheers for the Babe when
he recently accepted a position as consultant for the American Legion
Junior baseball program than if he had been named manager of the
Yankees after, lo, these many years. Shrill, boyish cheers from the
many thousands of kids who will play American Legion ball this year.
Probably none of these kids will remember Ruth as a player, for
the Babe bowed out early in 1935. But they know of him, and they
read the record books, and there are marks in those books set by Ruth
that probably never will be erased. In his new job, Ruth looks good.
Kurn Knows the Problems of Kids
The once hefty slugger who will be honored today is a gaunt,
wrinkled, gray-haired man who looks older than 52 years and whose
eyes bear the look of one who has survived a long, desperate fight
ior life.
His dreams .of piloting a major league club are behind Ruth now.
In his new connection with the Ford Motor Co., which last year
sponsored 1,480 Legion teams and partially sponsored 720 others,
Ruth probably won't be a very active figure. The detail will be the
responsibility of younger and more vigorous men. But Ruth can
make two very special contributions—his name and his love for kids.
That is a made-to-order job the Babe now holds. The American
Legion Junior baseball program was meant for Ruth and the Babe,
In turn, is the once-in-a-lifetime ' guy to act as a consultant. For
Ruth, you know, was an impoverished kid who became baseball's
highest paid, most heroic and most popular star.
He knows the problems of kids . . . their dreams . . . hopes . . .
ambitions . . . qualms . .. weaknesses. He had them all himself.
The Babe Was a Kid for a Long Time
Ruth knew how it is to be poor and lonesome. At 7 he was
committed to St. Mary's Industrial School in Baltimore, which the
Babe maintained was a reform school. Not knowing of the potential
baseball skill of the tall, skinny, big-boned youngster, St. Mary's
brothers taught him a trade—tailoring.
He was 19 when Baltimore signed him on the recommendation of
Brother Albert and the rest of the story is well known. Ruth signed
his first contract for $600 a year. He became such a great young
pitcher that some of his records are slab marks—three wins and no
defeats in World Series competition, winner of the longest contest in
series play (14 innings against Brooklyn in 1916), and 29 scoreless
Innings in series battles.
Ruth remained a kid for a long time. In his heyday he ate
half a dozen or more hot dogs before a game. He defied the late
Commissioner Landis and got suspended. He broke training and
was fined $5,000 by his manager, Miller Huggins. He came down
with the world's most famous stomach-ache from overeating.
.The Babe, when he was at his peak, traveled fast. And then,
according to legend, the late Jimmy Walker, Mayor of New York,
stopped Ruth when the Babe threatened to overdo it. Walker
was a toastmaster at a comparatively small dinner one night and
delivered his famous speech concerning a "dirty-faced kid in the
street who idolized a big guy named Babe Ruth." That sobered the
Big Guy, for keeps. Some say he cried that night.
Kids always were Ruth's favorite people.
Τ wo Meet Records Shattered,
Another Tied in Drake Relays
■ y the Associated Press
DES MOINES, April 26.—Two
track records were ground into the
cinders at the 38th Drake Relays
today and another was tied as the
record-breaking field of 2,000 ath
letes ended their carnival, un
matched in performance in the last
five years.
Two high school marks also were
shattered, making a total of 11 prep
and collegiate records broken in
the two-day contest.
Harrison Dillard, long-striding Ne
gro star from Baldwin-Wallace Col
lege, Berea, Ohio, holder of six na
tional hurdling titles, smashed the
9-year-old Drake record for the 120
yard high hurdles, skimming the 10
barriers against a stiff wind m 14.1
seconds. This blotted the former
record of 14.2, established by Fred
die Wolcott of Rice Institute in
1938.
It was the 19th consecutive
triumph this year for Dillard, win
ner of the 120-yard hurdles in the
Penn Relays a year ago.
Ohio State's quartet of splendid
hurdlers—Lloyd Duff, Richard Max
well. Williaifi Seibert and Robert
Wright—cracked the second Drake
record when they were timed in
:59·.4 in the 480-yard shuttle high
hurdles race. This clipped five
tenths of a second off the former
mark hung up by Oklahoma A. &
M. in 1941.
Ohio State's speedsters, after
breaking the record in the shuttle
hurdles and winning the 2-mile,
took their third relay triumph In
the mile event in 3:14.3.
Ι Texas' sprint team captured the
440-yard university relay from Bay
lor by 2 yards in 0:41.2, third fast
jest time for the event in the his
tory of the carnival.
I The Texans came back to triumph
in tne university half-mile relay
in 1:25.9, which tied the meet rec
ord made by Ohio State Ave years
ago. Running for Texas in both
sprint events were Perry Samuels,
Charley Tatom, Allen Lawler and
Charley Parker.
Georgetown Divides

Special Dispatch to Th· Star
STATE COLLEGE, Pa., April 26.—
Pete Baker and George Morehouse

I Penn State, 13-6, in the second game
of a twin bill after losing the opener,
5-4, here today.

ing frame. The two sluggers each
hit a home run, while Penn State's

smash, his second of the day.
The first game was a different
story with Penn State's Ken Yount
besting Hoya Bill Carroll in a tight
mound duel.
Yount also scored the winning
run on a fielder's choice after trip
ling in the sixth inning. Stark's
homer in the third gave the Lion's a
temporary lead.

PHILADELPHIA, April 26.—
Eastern quarters ganged up on
Illinois today and kept the Big Nine
cinder kings from completely dom
inating the 53d annual Penn Relays,
but the real villain in the plot was a
freshman from New York University
who shed his Army khaki only 10
weeks ago.
Although they duplicated their
feat of a year ago by winning three
of the team championships, the
Illini bid for an unprecedented
quadruple victory was thoroughly
squelched before an estimated
throng of 40,000 at sun-drenched
Franklin Field.

BOSTON, April 26.—Rudy
York played his accustomed first
base for the Boston Red Sox to
day, apparently fully recovered
from a slight case of smoke in·
halation sufTered in an early
morning fire in his hotel room.
York was half-dragged, half
carried out of his flaming hotel
room and a doctor who examined
him in the lobby said he suffered
only slight smoke inhalation.
York probably escaped more
serious injury because Miss Mary
Kent, 51, who lives on the third
floor of the Myles Standish Ho
tel, above York, awoke to find
smoke rising from the floor open
ing beneath a radiator.
Acting Pire Chief Thomas
Manning said the blaze was
caused by "smoking in bed."

CLEVELAND, April 26.—Bob Fel
ler, Cleveland Indians' fireball artist,
hung up his second straight shut
out victory today, a 3-hit, 6-to-0
victory over the Detroit Tigers and
beat his arch pitching rival, Hal
Newhouser, in the process.
The first Feller-Newhouser meet
ing of the season drew a crowd of
40,925, including 22,588 women and
children who were admitted free.
Feller, not quite as effective and
slightly more liberal with hits than
he was in his one-hit masterpiece
against the St. Louis Browns last
Tuesday, still was in complete
charge. He fanned seven and walked
six.
Newhouser definitely was off form |
and finally gave way to a pinch
hitter in the eighth after giving up
three runs and eight hits. The In
dians scored their final three mark
ers off Relief Pitchers Rufus Gentry
and Johnny Gorsica in the eighth.

Twenty-year-old Johnson, an
angular right-hander who defeated
the Philadelphia Athletics in his
major league debut last Sunday, be··
came the sixth successive New York
pitcher to remain the distance and

With one out in the second inning
Johnson issued a walk to A1 Evans.
Haefner tapped the ball at the
pitcher at that point and what
should have been a double play be
came a rally for the Nats when
Johnson threw wild into center field
attempting to get Evans at second.
Evans continued to third on the
error and Joe Grace brought him
across with a sharp single to left.
Grace obtained two of the Nats' hits,
Incidentally, opening the game with
a single to right.
That 1-0 margin existed momen
tarily, for Haefner launched the
Yankee portion of the inning by
presenting a base on balls to Phil
Rizzuto. George McQuinn pumped

were jammed with none out when
Johnny Lindell also walked.

Having added the 880-yard relay
title to their 440-yard and distance
medley championships of yesterday,
the Illini passed up the 4-mile event
and shot for the 2-mile crown, only
to finish in third place behind Ford

the 1-mile affair got under way.
But it simply wasn't in the cards.

when they came to the anchor leg,
Illinois was in third place. Here
the swift-striding Herb McKenley,
national quarter-mile champion,
added to his problem by getting
tangled up with Moe Callender of
N. Y. U. During the stick-passing
and losing at least 10 yards to the
leader.
He overcame this handicap, how
ever, and led the field around the
final turn. Then Pearman, who had
seen a comfortable lead melt away,
put on a terrific burst of speed
which the Jamaican couldn't match
and nipped him by inches just short
of the tape.
Navy Runner Third.
N. Y. U. finished in 3:18.8. Illinois,
sparked by McKenley's 47.5 on the
anchor leg, was clocked in the same

but Rizzuto scored and Lindell took
second on the play.
Keller lashed a double to right,
