RUTH'S MEMORY LAPSEs MIDDLE
 QUITTING YARN
Babe Peeyed at Writess- Not Sure About Retire. r,ent Next Season, Says Famous Home Run Slugger

New York. Sept 1.-UP)-Babe Ruth is hurt at the speed with which newspapermen are writing him out of active baseball-the same fellows whom he called "my best friends" on cold night in tho winter of 102?-23 when they began rebuilding his shattered en- reer as the home run king.
 Ruth's aggrevied feeling doubt less results mainly from his poor memory. The 39-year-old Yankee outAelder is almost as noted among his associates as for his memory lapses as for his slugglng.
 Similarly. yesterday morning the Babe allowed himself 10 be quoted about how he planned to retire from active play next season. So he was the most surprised man In New York when he read about his approaching retirement.
 After considerable cogitation, the Babe last night issued a formal statement to the press. saying he hadn't made up his mind yet about retiring. That he would play next season if he could. It all depended on his. physical condition.
 But say" said the Babe inform ally. whats the matter with you fellows? Whats the idea of re- tiring a fellow all of a sudden. Why you'll be writin' me right into my grave If don't watch out"
 While none of the baseball writ CTS are trying to retire George Herman before his time, most of them are confident the Babe will not be regular with the Tanks next year. Moreover. they hope he will not try to play as a regular if he actually isn't in. shape, be- cause the Babe always has been almost as much of hero for the writers as for the schoolboys.

 The Giants are only five games ahead of the fast-stepping Boston Braves following yesterdays defeat at the hands of the Bostonians in the opening contest of Q "crucial" six-game series. M
 The Braves suffered the loss of outfelder Randy Moore, their sec- ond best batsman, who sustained q broken hand when hit by pinched ball. He will be out for the rest of the season. Although Moore was hitting 1903, his absence is not of such vital importance to the Braves as is vergez' to the Giants.

 Boston Elatcd
 Thirty-fve thousand fans saw the Braves get off to two-run lead in the first inning and clinch the contest wit ha flve-run spurt in the eighth. Ben Cantwell al- lowed the Giants il hits but kept them scattered while the Braves found Parmolee and Bell for eight
 Meanwhile the third-place Pitts. burgh Pirates remained game and hak behind the Braves by extending their winning streak to six straight games with 13-to-11 victory over the Phlllies. The Pirates came from behind by punching some of their 10 hits for Q four.run spurt in the ninth, Chuck Klein and McCurdy of the phils made homers.
 St Louis took q double header from Brooklyn, l 0to 3, and 10 to {. Tex Carleton held the Dodg- CTS to eight hits in the opener. and Jess Haines kept his 1 o safeties scattered effectively in the night. cap. They were the only National League games scheduled.

BY HENRY McIIlMOliE United Prcss staff Correspondent


 New York, September -- (Up) Having won the Dayls cup for the first time since 1912, our Eng. fish cousins are exceeding anxious to retain same and even, now arc casting about for ways and means to handicap the challenging nation next year.
 Confident the United States will reach tho challenge round, English tennis experts are concentrating on a way to of set the speed of the American game, just as the Frcnchmon did when they gained the trophy in 1027,
 Tho English have thought up the duckicst idea you ever heard. They propose to eliminate the see- ond service ball altogether, thus limiting the server to one ball, you can figure out for yourselves what thls would do the Americans, whose severe cannonball first serv. lee is thcir main attacking weapon It would rob players like. say, Ellsworth Vines and Frank Shields. of at least a third of their power. and place them on the same level with the Englishmcn who go In for classical strokes and subtle strategy. rather than ovcrpower- ing speed
 The movement has reached such proportions that tho staid London Times has written an editorial or two on the matter and turns over q column or so day to letters from It's readers, all of whom see the present system of serving two balls us wicked stupid anu wholly unsportsmanllke thing.
 One of the unofficial packers of the plan Is Henry Wilfrcd tBunny) Austin. Englpnd's rather aesthetic No. player. Mir Austin locked both Vines and Wilmcr Allison in the intcr-zonc finals this year, but he dosen't liko tho cannonball service at all. finding t n great bother. Besides, his own first service ball Is trifle weak.
 As was pointed out earlIc", Eny- land isn't setting any precedent by seeking a means to bolster It's chances of holding on to the cup France did the same thing. Like the English. the French feared American speed. so tho first thing they did after winn ng tho cup wns 10 COTbtTuCt tHe siVW'st pOSFiDit court. They insured its being at It's slowest for tho cup play by blowing it up each winter and treating 1t with water and chem icals. Too, they were not above wetting 1t down with hose on the morning of play.
 The French did something else, too. AS the cup-holding nation has the right to choose the balls to be used, the clever Frenchm"n came out with ball so soft anu fuzzy that hitting it wns about the same as lobbing an adult caterpil- lar.
 Wallace Carroll of the United Press Paris o.f'ce, who has covered European Davis cup play for years, and who Is in New York vacation ing. thinks England's scheme has little chance of succeeding.
 "The English are very much sold on the idea" Carroll said, but 1t would have to be adopted by the International Federation. and that body Is unfriendly toward revoln. tionary changes. I doubt if 1t gets past the conversational and letter. to-the-editor stage"

Appendicitis and Pitched Ball Put Crimp in Attack of Pennant COntenders

Boston, Sept 1. (uP)--1llness and injury struck severe blows to both the New York Giants and Boston Braves pennant chances last night when each team lost one of It's mainstays.
 The Giants were the harder hit, losing Johnny Vorgez. crack, hard hitting third basoman, when he underwent an emergency opera ton for appendicitis at st Eliza beth's hospital shortly after yes- terdays game with tho Braves. He was reported as resting comfort ably this morning.
 Versatile
 The Braves will have to do with out the services of Handy Randy More, all-around player. who has been one of tho most important cogs in the Braves machine. play ing n great defensive game in right field, and leading the team'at bat He was forced out of yesterdays game in the fifth inning after one of Leroy Parmelees shoots hit him in the hand ifi the first inning. and fractured the little finger Of his right hand.
 Vergez was stricken early in tho game, and though suffering severe pain, crashed out q home run in the fifth inning. As the game pro- grsosod the pain became more in- tense. At the end of the game he collapsed in the dug-out. and had to be carried to the clubhouse from whence he was rushed to the hos pital.
 The veteran Travis Jackson. re- ported in none too good condition. will probably substitute for vergez. and Joe Mowry. recently obtained from the Pacific Coast league. will replace Moore.
