BABE RUTH NOT DEAD, SAY PALS
He Was Reported to Have Died
 on Train Today

Washington, April. 9, -- Reports that George Herman ("Babe"D Ruth. bascbal's premier batsman, had died en route from Ashevillc, N. C., 10 New York. were dissipated early today with the arrival here of the train on which he is travelling.
 Those in charge of the train said that Ruth, who collapsed in Ashe- vile Tuesday, sill was ill, but that his condition so far as they knew, was not serious. Physicians have pronounced his trouble to he due fundamentally 10 Ovor-cating or at least to unWise eating.
 Accompanied by representatives of 'h" Yankees, Ruth left Ashclille at %:30 D. m. yesterday, and immcdi- ata)y was put to bed in a compart- mnt, The train arrived here at 7:85 a. m, today, and the sleeper in which Ruth had | compartment was switched to q Now York train, which left at SEQ q, III. It is due in New York carly this afternoon.
 Reports that Ruth had died en route 10 Washington started in the carly morning hours when his rain was speeding through southwestern Virginia. Originating apparently in Canada, it spread with almost in- credible rapidity
 Ever before the train reached Washington newspa prr' offices here were kept busy answering inquiries and train dispatchcrs along the route Of the train were set to work check ing up OH the report.
 When the train pulled into the Union station a group of station of- fcials and others immediately board ed 1t. They were told Ruth appar- ertly was in better physical condi- ton than he was when he left the North Carolina town where he was stricken.
 Among these were officials of tre Southern railroad. who had been routed out Of their beds and whc previously had set in motion the in. teligence machinery of the road ir an effort 10 ascertain the facts.
 As an instance of the rapidity wi'l which the rumor spread, government clerks en route 10 their work hcart whispArings Of it and it was topi, of conversation and speculation among groups gathered on stree { corners.

DUNDEE LIKELY ID HAVE BOUT Dope Is That He Soon Will
 Fight Kaplal

New York. April 9.--Tohnny Dun dec, who some months ago announce ed his retirement as featherweight boxing champion and departed for Europe, may meet the man who &C., quired his throne before another month has passed.
 Madison Square Garden match makers, thwarted in their efforts to pit Louis tKid) Kaplan of Meriden. Conn.,, recognized as champion of the class by the New York state athletic commission, against Edouard Mascart, European titeholder, have led to .feverish endsavor to sign Dundee and Kaplan. The bout, if arranged, will be the Gardens last fistic attraction, on May 5.
 Mascart, whose Amercan manag- CT is said to have demanded a per- centage larger than that offered Kaplan, already has slgsed for bout in the middle west and Tex Rickard yesterday called off nego- tiations in that quarter. Dundee Is said to be desirous Of obtaining at least ,$5o,oo0 for his end of the purse in 8 clash with Kaplsn.
 There is possibility that Nascart who believes that Dundee stll re- tains the featherweight crowr, will meet the little Italian in an outdoor contest early in the summer. Kap- Ian, meanwhile, is planning to re- turn to the Pacific coast uiiess something worth while deYelops very soon.

The Emerald A, C. closed It's first SC ason last Thursday night, when the smith Business college failed to put in an appearance. Although the team was a newly formed one, it worked well and won five out of nine games. The big feat was the win over the much larger Sokols in the final game played.
 Freddie Saunders and Gay Brom- berg fought great race for scoring honors, but the former nosed out his opponent in the last few games, Captain Casey ran close third. These three worked well together, and the absence of Bromberg par tially accounts for the defeat at the hands of the Bristol Celtics. The guards also accounted for them- selves in good fashion.

STARS OF GREAT
 NATIONAL, GAME Vance Is One Of Latest to Get
 Into Ring
By The Associated Press.

New York, April 9.--When the present occupants move over an inch or two and make room for Arthur | C. Vance, sometimes called "Dazzy," 1t will be found that the imaginary Hall of Stardom" will do for this year at it's present capacity .a
 Dazzy Vance was the only man In the major leagues to become an &C., knowledged star of baseball last season. At tho start of the sched- ule he was just regular pitcher, who had been tried and found want ing on another club. A star Is es- timated in good part by his ability to attract admissions at the gate and Vance has become one of these what is known as a drawing card.
 For the other clubs the same old drawing cards will be played. great men ofu whom the baseball follow CTS never tire. A leader among them is Babe Ruth of the Yankees, greatest of home run hitters. The Tanks have others but Ruth is watched by all eyes in a baseball park.
 It will be found that every team in the major leagues has at least one drawing card. The entire Washing ton team, with Manager Bucky Har- ris, Walter Johnson and "Goose' Goslin outstanding, will attract crowds throughout the coming sea- son, for It holds the world cham- pionship. Iris Speaker of the ln- dians gray-haired after years of service with the Red Sox and Cleveland, is well known to the fans. and his left-handed throws to the plate have made baseball interesting. The inimitable Ty Cobb of Detroit, born in the late eighties, remains a power at bat and on the bases. Speaker has Charley sJamieson. a
 powerful hitter in the supporting role, while Cobb has Harry He'll
 mann, champion batsman of the American league.
 Manager George Sisler and his ex- ccptional outfeld, comprising Bi1
 Jacobson, Ken Williams and Johnny
 Tobin. always make things interest
 ing for the opposition. Eddie Col
 lins, now manager of the White
 Sox, is one of the great second basemen of baseball, and is ably aided by Ray Schalk and Harry Hooper. Bill Wambsganss, oi
 world series triple play fame. still
 plays for the Red Sox, and opposing batsmen will continue to worry when they hear the names of Eddie Rommel and Stan Baumgartnei . in connection with the Athletics . pitching.
 , The National league has its stars : Frank Frisch, captain and second } bascman, leads the array in Ne" } York, with Vance and the mighty - Zack Wheat carrying the honors 1T

W ulftF dNlllFDtlt lNuhluE his hpIlllS debut against the New York Giants, wg, batlcd for three runs in the first inning,
 Poor spring Debut
 Tandom, intensely interested in Johnson, is no doubt wondering if tho poor start prcsagos q bad season for baaoball's greatest idol.
 Johnsons possibilities as a win hing pitcher for 1925 are shrouded in much uncertainty.
 ], would be unfort unate for base ball. and Johnson, if Walter would have a very disastrous year. thereby dimming to q degree his most re- markable record, climaXed by the world series finish of 1924.
 am positive that Johnson in tended to retire at the close of last season, He told me so, and Johnson is man of few words. He be- lieved the stage was all set for him to acquire a profitable minor league franchise.
 Failure to get the desired club causod him to reioin Washington after he believed he was through with the majors.
 Money was not the only thing that caused Johnson to rejoin his old club. His love for the game was an even stronger influence.
 At the close of the world series of 1924, from which Johnson emerged the outstanding hero, he was offered a theatrical contract for 2o weeks | that would have netted him over twice as much as he ever received
 Refused Stage Oner Johnson turned the offer down de- spite tho fact that he would have hal very little to do in the act. AS he put il, it simply called for him 10 walk across the stage, say d few words to give the folks n chance to See that he was really human, and walk off,
 A partner was 10 assist Johnson in the act and supply the comedy to put it over. Whom l asked Johnson why he turned down the orpor- tunity, his reply was brief and de- i cidedly to the point:
 I'm d ball player, not an actor. When people pay money to see me, I want to give them q run for it. As an actor l would be the bunk. and my conscience wouldn't let me get away with it."
 For Johnson 10 bc unable 10 win consistently this year would he one of the tragedies of baseball I would hate to see it happen,
 l have two reasons for doubling such q possibility, The first. be. uove Johnson still has enough na' tural stuff to pitch better than .5Q( ball, The second; He is too wise.
 Knows His Stuff
 If Johnson after several months o' play realized he was slipping, tha- his stuff lacked fine deception to ge him by l feel that he would retire
 Johnson has q ]ustifable pride 1T his work, l know that his t1na success in the world series ploaseC him more than all his previous vic tories.
 This makes me feel that Johnson would prevent an utter rout h' quitting while the going vas stll good.
 American league batters say the. would be just as well satisfied Johnson would retire before th opening of the season. None of then look for Walter to be bust
