Babe to Sell Farm
And Plans to
Build in Florida

New York, June 22-(AP)-"Babe"
Ruth announced today that he had
ordered brokers to sell his farm at
South Sudbury. Mass, and that he
planned to build in Pasadena Estates,
near st. Petersburg, Fla. Farming
is all right for a retired business
man." Ruth said. "but for an active
ball player it is not so good. I'm
through farming in Sudbury. the
place there cost me a good penny.
When you are not around to super
wise you lose more money.
Il like Florida, we trained last
spring at st. Petersburg and my
wife and were enthusiastic over the
climate. The recent illness of Mrs.
Ruth and myself are in a measure
responsible for my decision to make
the change"
Ruth displayed badly swollen an
kles, the result of strain in his
weakened condition following the
long illness that kept him out of the
early part of the schedule His an
kles have handicapped him ever
since he returned to the lineup, he
said. He said he found that his
famous bats, larger than any other
major leaguers use. still feel too
heavy.

Troon, Scotland, June 22-(AP)-
Three American professionals, Mac
Donald Smith. Jim Barnes and Joe
klrkwood attracted the largest gall
leries In the first qualifying round
OF the British open golf champion
ship today. They turned in good
cards, though they did not play the
best golf Of the day.
Smith. who is we'll favored for the
championship cup, made the OPEN
ing round in n. He played over the
new course and only a few more than
third of those who played this
course broke 80.
Jim Barnes, like Smith, had a n,
but his was over the old course,
which is not so thoroughly bunkered
as the new.
Joe Kirkwood was not so fortunate.
Playing over the easier of the two
courses he took 70, leaving him
practically no margin for possible
errors tomorrow.
Smith and Barnes are seven
strokes behind the leader of the field,
Dick May of Benton, who on the old
course succeeded in getting an even
20. One stroke behind him came
Moses O'Neil, of Robin Hood.
Neither of the two leaders Is par
ticularly well known and their
chances of winning the championship
have never been considered seriously
by the public or press,

Another One of Those Foolish Scores Hung Up in the Big Time



seen on the Atlantic seaboard this

running for a brief period to the half

dropped back to poor third. The

starting wire, crawled along In last

A slight drizzle of rain fell

The varsity crews were late In ar

away first at Cos o'clock, eastern
standard time. But something went
wrong in the Navy shell and after
the crews had spurted 100 yards the
Navy shell ceased to move. The re-
fierce fired the customary shot and
the field was recalled for fresh
start. At GIL o'clock the second and
final start was made, with Pennsyl-
vania getting away in the lead and
the Wisconsin crew two strokes be-
hind at the gun. At the half mile
mark, Pennsylvania, rowing a A.
stroke, led by nose with the Navy

The huskies jumped into a half

The positions remained relatively
the same as the crews passed the
mile and halt mark and continued

powerful Clendon stroke of the
