KANSAS CITY. Mo, March 15.-
A nervous little man raped tim
idly on the edge of the information
window at police headquarters.
The sergeant looked up and a
note was thrust across the desk to
him. 1t read:
Il shot a man on Monroe street.

The little man handed the SER

He stood speeches. before the
questions of the officer, then reached

me of my wife"

MILD WINTER PROVES
BOON TO GAME CROP
Coming Season Should BE Best in
Several Decades, Shirts Says.

Prediction of good game crop,
due to mildneSs of the winter, was
made today by walter Shirts, fish
and game division chief in the state
conservation department.
Unless March brings continued
severe weather, more game will
carry over to the nesting season
than for many years" Shirts de-
clared. The game crop promises
to be one of the best in several dec
AIDES"
Quail and rabbit are reported in
large numbers in most sections of
Indiana, he said. Ruffed grouse
and partridge are increasing, with
several nests having been located
near the various state game pre-

AKRON, o.. March 15.-Rubber
tire manufacturers are patiently
waiting for Mr.. Car Owners tires
to wear out so that he will buy new
ones and thus put the industry back
on a profitable basis-both for stock
holders and wage earners.
The vast chain of tire plants
here is languishing until this out
cropping Of replacement buying lifts
the industry back on the plane 1t
occupied several years ago But it
probably never will regain the levels
Of 1927 and 1928.
Oddly, responsibility for their
plight rests in large measure on
the manufacturers themselves. Six
years ago they we're developing a
product that would withstand
rougher usage and experience long
er life.
Efforts Rewarded
Their experiments we're rewarded
with the balloon tire, vastly SUI
perior to the old type, high pres
sure tire.
It's low air pressure made riding a
greater pleasure by absorbing bumps
and vibration. It's thicker walls
more stoutly rebuffed the rough
roads
Mileage increased from 10000 and
$1,000 miles-the maximum attained
by high pressures-to $4,000 and
10000 miles. AS the mileage in
creased, replacement orders de-
creased.
Manufacturers hopefully are look
ing TO the primary market for aid.
The output of new cars provides a
lucrative source of revenue. When
automobile production lags, so does
the tire business. Manufacturers are
now anticipating pickup.
Ford's Program Extensive
Henry Ford's 1882 program, it is
estimated, will call for between
$40 100000 and $21 OOO, 900 in Akron
made tires and an additional $4,-
100000 for tire accessories also made
here.
If Fords program is carried out,
100000 tires will be required to
equip the new models and most of
these tires would be supplied here.
The industry is trying to bolster
the weak market with designs Of its
own, namely by offering a new
product TO car owners.
1t is an improved balloon tire, Of
thicker design and lower air pres
sure, designed to eradicate road
shocks entirely But thus far the
market has not been very respon-
sive.

of violating the corporate securities
act of California, as the result of
information unearthed by the dis

Babe Ruth I'm
Yankee Fold For
Another Season

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March
16. U.P)-Babe Ruth signed his
1882 player contract today. 1t was
one year contract supposedly call
ing for $4,000.
The signing brought to an end
the latest of the often repeated
Ruth VS.. Rupert contract squab-
bles. Baseball men are not yet
agreed as to the sincerity of the
salary wrangles between the Yankee
slugger and club owner.
This year the "act" was lacking
some of its traditional lines. For
one thing, Rupert did not "ulti-
mate" to his prize player, nor did
baseball's greatest player attraction
threaten to quit organized base
BALI as he has SO often done.
The salary arguments was con-
Quoted on a relatively simple basis.
Ruth had asked for a two year
contract at $4,000, or a renewal of
his expired $4,000 contract for one
year. Colonel Rupert had said
he would not consider signing Ruth
for more than one year, and offered
$4,000 for the slugger's services in
1882 alone.
Today's meeting was the third
between Ruth and Rupert.

A rough time for offending mot
orists hailed before Judge 1. May

SPORTS PARADE
OFFERS VARIETY
in T0DAY'S NEWS
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, March 16.-Cincin-
natl, here's what you got:
: Floyd Caves (Babe) Herman, a
player they swear by and at. Bats
left-handed, throws left-handed,
thinks left-handed. Stands 6
feet 4. Weighs 100, but walks with
such stoop-shouldered slouch he
appears almost anemic. The only
man ever to be fired from a ball
club while hitting better than 400
when he was first-basing for At
lanta. The opposition couldn't get
him out at bat, but his fielding
was so atrocious it nullified his
hitting.
Is an ex-sports writer, having
once been sports editor of his
Glendale, Calf, high school paper.
Quit the job. he says, because 1
was the greatest all-round athlete
in school and I got tired writing
myself up Chews one of the
most impressive wads of tobacco in
baseball. Is the only baseball
player in history to hit legiti-
mate three-bagger and have it re-
suit in triple play. He is justly
proud of this distinction.
Outside of Shanty Hogan, man.
moth catcher of the Giants, Her.
man is probably the worst base
runner in baseball Many experts
argue the best way to get him out
is to let him get on base. Some
students of the game (Rogers
Hornsby is one) rank him as the
finest free swinger in the game.
He hits to all fields. He hits any
and all sorts of balls. One day
he'll miss a certain sort of ball by
country mile. The next day he'll
knock the same pitch into Mrs.
Sweeney's sun parlor.
When he's hot" he's probably
baseballs greatest player. At such
times he hits at a dazzling clip,
makes catches that Speaker would
have missed, and throws like a
Ruth. But when he's in batting
slump, he couldn't catch cold,
throws to the wrong bases and
well, he's terrible.
Is tight with his money. Hates
to lose a bet. Brought down the
house in Miami one night when,
just before the start of a jai
alai game, he rose to his feet and
yelled at the top of his lungs to a
player he had Wagered two bits on:
Bear down, now, you so-and-so.
Don't make no Mistakes
Has blue eyes, blonde hair, thick
lips and half-buck teeth. Married
and has two children. They are
very smart, always keeping very
quiet and mannerly when daddy's
in a slump. He is the height OF
nonchalance at the plate. Like ali
ball players, he's superstitious.
Always spits in his glove before
leaving the outfield. Goes through
regular ritual before taking his
stance at the plate.
Is a good man in fight, pack
ing mean punch in either fist.
He has been with more than a
QOLCll CluOo Ill lllllC 0ll1Cl Clli
leagues. Thinks that any manager
who lets him go makes very,
very bad mistake.
He's the sort Of ball player the
fans either hate or love. He's good
for 10 laughs game. And almost
that many thrills.
Editors Note: Old timers here
will "love" the foregoing write-up
by McLemore. The Babe" is well
known in these parts having played
in the old Imperial Valley league
decade or SO ago. We especially
recommend the article to John
Kepley, Chan Livingston, Bill
Tackett and other veterans, for q
few laughs.
