BABE RUTH HITS SIXTIETH HOMER
 FOR RECORD IN BASEBALL HISTORY

New York, Oct. i Pl-Bahe Ruth may hit another home run or two, but what does that matter.
 The great heavy hitter Of the Tan kees produced No. 6o yesterday, es- tablishIng a new record for home runs in single season.
 Some 5000 fans realized their big thrill" when Ruth unconcern- cdly crashed the ball into the hleachors 10 erase his old mark of 59 first achieved by himself in 1921 which he tied on Thursday.
 Babe had been pulling for the new mark for six years. The veteran pitcher Zachary of the Senators had the distinction of hurling the ball which made the dream come true. It happened in the eighth inning with one strike and one ball on the Babe.
 Summing up Ruth's activities for the season, 1t looks like Col. Rup- pert paid more than $1,000 for each home run as the idol of the baseball

 Since 1915, when he started hludgeoning with the Boston Rcd Soy, Ruth has patterned out 416 of his famous mammoth wallops. Figure demons have doped out that if the distance Of Ruins 4lG big drives were pieced together they would stretch for 50 miles. Delving further. it has been found that the Babe has travelled approximately 30 miles on the base paths ill scoring on all circuit belts.
 Not until 1919 did Ruth start corallinr four baggers to any notice able extent. He made 29 in that sea son with the red hose. With that same team he connected for four home runs in 1915, Three in 1916, two in 1917, and II in 1918.

RICHARD DENIES
 FIGHT FILM GUILT
Calls Many Being Shown in West
 "BootleS" Products

San Francisco, Oct. CP(-Interest in the governments attempt to stop he showing of the Tunney- Dempsey fight films on the west coast, today centered in developments involving Tex Rickard, promoter of the bout. and a local theater operator who sought an injunction to prevent stopping the exhibitions.
 The theater operator, William F. cullen. who was arrested shortly after his show house exhibited the film, filed injunction proceedings yesterday seeking to prevent further seizures of the fight films in case they are offered at his theater. Cul- len contended the films were repro duced here and did not violate laws prohibiting interstate shipment.
 Rickard and his legal representa- tives here were heard from al length. The promoter declared in New York that the films being shown in the west either were Coun- terfeits or bootleg products. His San Francisco attorneys issued a statement, which they had tcle- zraphed to the department of jus tice, declaring Rickard was wholly blameless for the coup by which avowedly more than 100 reproduced films of the fight were dragged through legal loopholcs and made available for exhibition in Califor- mia.
 The action Of the district attor- ney's office here has prevented eX- hibition of the films generally throughout northern California, but in the Los Angeles area they have been running for several days.
 Portland, Ore, found a happy and satisfactory solution for the sit nation when the City Motion Picture censorship board, after q pre-vicw of the film, officially approved its exhibition. The consors required, however that a. part of the profits be turned over to some service men $ organization.
