BA|MB|NO AIMS
At HIS 1921
RECORD

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-Babe
Ruth. Yankee home-run ace and
baseball's foremost drawing card,
still entertains hopes Of beating
his great home-run record of 1921,
when he slapped out fifty-nine cir
cult drives. Having been voted the
most valuable player Of the Aneri-
can League in 1923, and having cap
tured the leagues batting crown
in 1924, the Babes thoughts again
center on the hitting of home runs.
Ruth, who spent the weekend in
town after several months at his
Sudbury farm, believes that 1925 will
give him about his last chance to
break his own home-run record.
The Babe will be thirty-one years cid
next month, and he feels that If he
doesn't beat the fifty-nine mark next
season his record home-run crop of
1921 will have to stand as his
greatest home-run effort in one sea-
son.

YANKS SIGN WILTSE

NEW YORK, Jan. S1.-George
wiltse, former Giant left-hander and
until the middle OF last season
manager of the Buffalo Interna-
tional League Club, was signed to-
day by Miller Higgins, Yankee
pilot, to coach the pitchers on the
Yankee staff. Wiltse viii depart
for the South with the first con-
tingent Of rockies who start for ST.
Petersburg, Fla, February 81.
Higgins intimated that Wiltse's
signature would in no way affect
his deal with Fred Merkle, former
Giant and Rochester international
first baseman. Merkle, Higgins
said, would be signed to help out
In a utility capacity and to serve
as a pinch-hitter.

territorial; in the other 1876 the
pitcher may have pitched to him,
but given him nothing but bad
balls to hit.
Ruth will go to Hot Springs to-
morrow, where he will boil out with
Scott. Schang and members OF the
regular pitching staff.
It Is likely that Ruth again will
be appointed captain Of the Yankees
next season. Ruth was made cap
tain Of the club after Peckinpaugh
was traded away following the loss
Of the 1921 world series. How
ever, he didn't hold 1T long.
When he jumped into the stands
after q railroad conductor who had
been abusing him in 1922 Ban
Johnson busted" him and took
away his shoulder straps. Ever
since the Yankees have gone into
battle without a captain. AS the
Babes conduct on the field has been
above reproach during the last two
years, Higgins again contemplates
making the Babe his field captain.

JACK MAY
MANAGE
MICKEY
Report Verifies Dempsey's
Announced Intention to
Quit Ring
By DAVIS J. WALSH,


Information News Service Sports Editor
NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-With
long distance skepticism prevailing
here on the matter of Jack Demp-
sey's- announced retirement from
affairs of the fist comes report
that would seem to bear out the
good faith of the champions
statement.
The report is to the effect that
Jack Kearns is soon to take over
the management of Mickey Walker,
worlds welterweight champion,
and it comes from sources of some
little probity.
Walker would neither deny nor
affirm the report today, but the
fact is generally knobVn that a duel
between Jack and Mickey has been
hanging fire for some time. It
has been held in allegiance because
Of Walkers objection to playing
piccolo accompaniment when he
might be the bull fiddle under u
more obscure management. That
objection would be removed auto.
maticaIly If Dempsey sewers rela-
tions with Kearns and duly retires,
IS advertised.
with the Withdrawal of Benny
Leonard and the announced in-
tenfion of Dempsey to do like
wise, Walker remains as the most ;
notable Of the ring champions Of
today. The fact that Kearns Is
ready to do business with him
indicates pretty strongly that the
WelI-knOWn collector Of rare Oand
well done coins is casting about
for an unpunched meal ticket;
that in short, Kearns is inclined
to take Denpsey's announcement
seriously.
Kearns, of course, has tried to
laugh this idea out Of countenance.
He would. So has Tex Richard.
Both have become rich men
through Dempsey's flair for punch
ing retired piano movers In the
rotunda, and they had high hopes
of the future. They are natural
skeptics on the subject OF Demp-
sey,s retirement.
But the writer learned months ago
that Dempsey planned to withdraw
from the ring and the champion
continued affirmations since then
have not been without the ring OK
sincerity AS matters now stand ne
means every word he says, and II
he goes through with it, the sport
Of boxing viii be without a heavy
weight champion and Mr.. kearns
VIII be without a meal ticket.
His next best bet would be
Walker. The latter leaves within
n few days for the coast where he
will take on Bert COlima at Los
Angeles on February "a. Accord
ing to the good word. his business
with Kearns will be settled then.
Two years ago such an alliance
would not be possible. Walker had
q lifelong friend, Jack Bulger, as
his manager then, but Bulger died
slightly more than a year ago and
his place was taken by Joe Dignan.
The welterweight champion, OF
course, has never given public ex-
preston of a lack of satisfaction
with Dignan's services but close
friends of the fighter have made no
secret Of what they claim to be
Mickey's desire to swap managerial
horses in mid-stream. 1t Is said ne
feels he should have attained greater
prominence as a champion. If such
is his desire, Kearns Is the man to
crafty 1t.

could have broken his record Of
fifty-nine last season had the
Yankees stayed on the Polo Grounds.
Last year he hit forty-six homers,
thirteen below his record, but he
figures that he could have hit fif'
teen more homers at the Polo
Grounds than at the Stadium. ;
Ruth is very ambitious, and
home runs are his dish. He takes
the same pride in his hOme-run
records that an artist takes In his
pictures or a musician In his COM
positions. The Babe Is very sin
cere in his desire to reach sixty
hOmers in 1885, He points out
that he hit five more hOmers last
year than in 1923, and hopes for
q bigger increase In 1925.
However, Ruth rightly says he
can't make records unless, the
pitchers let him hit. The Babe
drew 312 bases on balls during the
last two seasons, ITO in 1928 and
142 last year. He estimates that
of those 312 passes half were in

FRANCE IS AROUSED BY
 SOVIET PERFlDY.

One of the soundest arguments against the persistent propaganda for the recognition Of soviet Rus s.a by the United States is that rec, ognition would open the gates of our country to the communistic press agerts working under diplomatic in,- muni,y. In return for this, 5Ae United States would gal nc reaI b2teiii, il the experience Of othor powers may be cited as a criterion. Great Britain recognized Russia and it was not long before the propagan- da mill of Moscow, operated by M. Zinoviev, president of the Communis- tic Internationale, was at work in England, openly appealing to the army and navy to revolt. That in cident, the authenticity of which is portant factor in the overthrow of the Macdonald government. Now Russia, is stirred over the publica- tion of letter in La Liberia an nouncing that 100000 francs had been dispatched to the French col, onies in Northern Africa for organ izing revolts. Zineviev is the alleg- ed author of the epistle. It is not surprising that French opinion is aroused by the incident for France, like Great Britain, demanded as a condition of recognition that the so- viets should not interfere in French internal affairs.

COOLlDCE'S ADDRESS

Here stands our country, an eX- ample Of tranquility at home, a pa tron of tranquility abroad. Here stands it's government, aware of its might but obedient to it's consci- ence," said President Coolidge in his first inaugural address. It was typ ical of Coolidge, as was the entire speech-the product of a seasoned leader, not easily veerci from a course of an even keel, we'll thought out and well wrought out.
 The presidents address was not long, and differing from those of some of his predecessors or other days it did not take up in elaborate detail the various problems or the departments of governIA,r; Presi- dent Coolidge hit The '.igh spots. Probably one reason Was that there is no outstanding departmental prob lem or internal issue facing the gov Fl nuIGul OlHGI JIIdu tIlCSt lUQCueQ upon. The president sought to leave a few conspicuous suggestions in the hope that they might leave a moTa lasting impression upon his hearers than to deal in detail with problems that can be left to advantage for later treatment.
 President Coolidge's heart is still for the world court, as it is popular ly termed, and this issue probably will be raised in the new congress. He makes his position clear that this does not mean involvement in European affairs and that the United States will not become mixed up in problems exclusively European. What he wants his country to do is to array itself on the side of justice as an effective means of presenting future wars
 It was noteworthy that the presi- dent, for the first time, give indi- rect approval of the policy of weed

BROOkHART'S STATE TURNS
 AGAINST HIM

One of the meekest senators in Washington today is a man who has been one of the most vocal during the past six years His name is Brookhart and he halls from Iowa. BroOkhart was tanned by the voters of Iowa last fall, receiving a dubious plurality of only about 700 votes, while President Coolidge and other republicans swept the state Brook hart adopted the familiar device of running on the republicans in the senate He went even farther He demanded that Dawes name be re- moved from the vice presidential ticket and announced that he was not a Coolidge republican," Now he not only faces a contest which, if precedent is followed, will result in his defeat in the senate next Decem- Der, but he faces demand from his party in Iowa that his seat be de- clared vacant because he received his election by fraud and deceit" His case is important because it may have the effect of restoring something of party responsibility in government. At any rate, it will draw the public's attention to a con- dition that existed in American poli-
Seward daily gateway., 1925-03-16

ing out of the republican party the disloyal clements. There is no sal vation in narrow or bigoted partisan ship, he says, but if there is to be responsible party government, "the party label must be more than mere device for securing office" The president takes the view that the party in power has received a clear mandate from the people and he makes it plain by implication that he intends that party pledges shall be kept. He is ready to cooperate with Congress, which he praises as an effective branch of the govern ment-the most effective and inde- dependent legislative body in the world-but one derives from his mes sage the implication that he intends to use his own position of leader ship to the best of his ability in carrying out the peoples mandate and that he expects cooperation from congress.
 His appeal for economy and for reduction of taxes is an echo of what he has said before, and prob ably we shall hear something fur ther from him soon on the sugges- tion regarding surtaXes. He favors conservation of our natural resourc- es, takes an indirect thrust at viola tors of the prohibition amendment without mentioning it specifically by saying that all who flout the con stitution are treading the way that leads back to the jungle.
 The president sees a reign of prosperity and is resolved to do whatever is within his power to con- tinue it. Peace at home and abroad through the common sanctions of civilized people; good government thru the will of the majority, true Americanism, a free-minded country, an advancing nation-these are the presidents hopes and aspirations as he starts what promises to be a mo- table administration.
