New York, Oct. 3l.-(R-It has Be.
come increasingly evident, II not alb
solutely definite. that there Is no op-
portunity In the American League for
Babe Ruth to fulfill his ambition to
launch . managerial career next sea-
son. -.
What will happen after 1885, when
Joe McCarthy's contract runs out with
the Yankees and perhaps other vacan-
cies develop, remains to be seen.
Meanwhile the Babe Is in the posi-
ton Of having burned his bridges be-
hind him, with no place to 60 after
he finishes q trip around the world.
He had publicly declared himself out
Of tho player ranks, which makes It
official, but 1t is difficult to imagine
his retirement, even II there isn't q
managers Job available. Besides. the
great man can always change his
mind.
In rapid succession within the last
fortnight, the possibility Of Ruth be-
coming manager Of the philadelphia
Boston or Warrington club In the
American League has been discussed
and discarded. It Is no secret that
most Major League lnasnates con.
slider the Babe too big gamble. q q
manager, to justify the substantial
investment required IN signing him
up.
Ruth unquestionably has the back,
ground, the personality. and many o.

can do with ball club but, frankly,
I don't know anybody willing to un-
dertake the experiment. The big
question concerns Ruth's ability to
maintain discipline. He never has had
such responsibiity.s
All this brings up the possibility Of
Ruth going to the National League @
manager.

intricate Pass Attack Depends
on Speed More Than Power
or Brute Strength
BY JIMMY DONAHUE

The old order passeth. The grand
old football pastime Of knock-'em-
oWn-and-wa over has been changed
to . comparatively peaceful sport re-
sembling basketball through the use
Of forward passes from double laterals,
reverses, spinners, punt formations
and confusing shifts.
Two citizens got q real break when
the game changed. One Is Simeon
Spectator, whose yowling that too
much concentration on defense made
for q less spectacular game last year
resulted In the open contest displayed
this season.
The other Is the little 14S-pound
guy who used to shine his pants on
the bench while his behemoth buddies
banged their skulls into hard lines Of
human flesh.
Present-day football Is right up the
little gents alley. Cotton Warburton
proved last year that fast, shifty
midget with plenty Of weight above
the eyes can play just as good : game
as the beef trust variety Of player.
The tricky formations that Coach
Howard Jones devised were developed
to fit the style Of attack Warburton
was able to give. The only reason the
white -haired mite isn't going places
this year is because the Trojan line
Is 4 bunch Of stay-at-homes.
Iowa state Back Stars
But while Warburton's effectiveness
Is being hidden under q bushel Of in
effective blocking, other tots have
risen to take their places among the
years football greats through the me-
dunn Of q more open game.
There's little Tommy Neal, Iowa
States quarterback. for instance.
Thomas weighs $50 pounds when
he's sopping wet and full Of bananas
and cream. Yet the midget crashed
the headlines in big type when he led
the cyclonic attack on the Cyclones that
showed under q favored Iowa team by
q 3l-6 score. Three touchdowns the
midget scored in that game, one OF
them a 28-yard gallop.
Then there's Newell Call, quarter
back Of the University Of Utah, who
weighs q scant 140 pounds. Call,
playing his first collegiate game, was
sent in against Colorado College In the
final quarter and scored three touch
downs in less than eight mintues, af-
ter runs OF from Is to 80 yards.
Another miniature edition OF .
gridder brought Michigan out Of the
doldrums to victory over Georgia
Tech recently. He is 140-pound Fer
ris Jennings, who was SO far down on
the list at the beginning Of the season
that Coach Harry Kipke forgot all
about him-until Renner's injury and
casualties to other signal callers
forced him to call out the rear guard.
The sophomore turned into . SEN
sation against the southern boys, and
was responsible for the % victory Of
the wolverines
Dye Weighs l3l Pounds
The case Of Bill Dye at Ohio State
is similar to that Of Jennings. Dye
followed big Stan Pincura and Frank
Fisch when the call came for service
at quarterback. But when the latter
two were incapacitated. little Willie
went in against Colgate and earned
himself q regular job on his perform
ance against the Red Raiders. And

do plenty Of kicking when he steps
into Memorial stadium Saturday for
his fourth and probably final football
duel with Illinois.
Coach Bob Zuppke, willy little man
with flock Of original schemes on
how to harass foemen, is packing his
big trick bag to overflowing for the
untamed mule. II his flicker-flea or
flying trapeze acts don't drive the
mule into defeat, he'll come up with
kome other tantalizers.
The little Dutchman always is out
to win football games early and de-
cisively, but in this campaign Of re-
venge, which already has reversed
one point defeats suffered last season
at the hands Of Ohio State and Mich
lgan, Zuppke is equally determined to
beat back the march Of the undefeat-
ed Cadets.
! Zuppke Needs Victory
Only two teams hold an edge over
Euppe-coached machines IN series
of games-Michigan and the Army.
Zuppke is only three victories behind
Michigan and reeds triumph Satur-
day to draw up on even terms with
the future Generals, who have out
scored Illinois, rs to II, In three
games, two Of which they captured.
An analysis Of the team shows them
to be almost carbon copies Of each
other, q fact that has forced even the
expOes to throw up their hands in
theR attempts to pick the winner.
The army line, which ranges excep-
tiontay even In height from feet IL
to s feet 3, is taller than that Of the
1llini, but the weight is almost iden-
tical, man for man. The 1llini don't
have q halfback like Jack Buckler,

battle similar to that Of last year at
Cleveland when the 1llini, although
defeated to O, kept the result in
doubt until the final second of play,
upwards Of $4,000 spectators expected
TO watch the duel.
Meanwhile, all Big Ten coaches
hustled their charges over the PAGES,
polishing their offenses. Michigan
still was a trifle down-cast over Its
chances to stop Minnesota. but Coach
Harry Kipke promoted one laugh any
way. After watching John Regeczi

Plan to Fire $4,000 Relief Workers,
20 Per Cent Pay Slash Looms on Jobs

and work relief.
One Half Get No Relief
Fully 100000 New York workers
are unemployed. According to the
1880 census, there are % dependents
for each employable worker. This
would indicate that fully 2,750,000
persons in New York are in need of
relief. In March, 383,818 families,
or 1,568,654 persons biased on the
Home Relief Bureau figures of Al
persons in each family received
directly or indirectly some form of
relief. In other words, about 43
per cent received absolutely no re-
lief at all.
On June %, orders were sent out
to all Home Relief investigators to
investigate all relief workers with
the view of firing all who fall into
the following categories:
1. All single workers without de-
pendentS.
2. All workers whose incomes on
work relief exceeds their relief bud
get by 81 or more. under such an
arrangement practically all white
collar workers are to be fired, and
all relief work laborers earning $12
with families of three and less will
be fired and put on Home Relief
after re-application.
3. All those with bank deposits of
500 or more.
This scheme is put into effect by
speed-up of the Home Relief Bureau
employees. Each investigator is
assigned a quota of three work cases
day to investigate. Pending cases,
that is, cases in which the appli-
cation blank has been returned and
the client is waiting for the inves-
tigator to call, are put aside and
precedence given to the work cases.
This means three things.
l. Workers who are dropped from
the relief projects are not to be
transferred to home relief, but will
have to make re-application and be
re-investigated. On account Of the
preference given work cases, this
means long waiting period with
out any relief whatsoever.
New applicants for relief will
have to wait even longer than for
merly.
8. Relief Investigators will be
speeded up. In the past investi-
gators were expected to make to
6 Investigations week in addition
to regular duties. Now they will
have to make three a day. Where
formerly they made visits every
two weeks to relief clients, they are
now to visit every four weeks
finance department messenger clerks
who deliver checks for food, gas
and electricity will continue to visit
clients every two weeks.
White Collar Workers 10 Go
White collar workers whose
weekly earnings are four dollars in
excess of the home relief budgets
for unemployed workers with the
same number of dependents will be
fred and transferred to home relief
after re-application. To take one
example, the white collar workers
on the Recreational Leaders projects
earn $24 a week and aides received
$21. Under the new ruling a worker
would have at least seven depen-
dents to receive s24 weekly pay.
Under the home relief budgets a
single worker gets $40 week for
food and total weekly relief check

of $5.78. A family of two is allowed
$4.83 weekly for food, and total of
$9.43 for all expenses = food, fuel,
light, soap, etc.
The entire Works Division of the
Department of Welfare is in this
manner being reviewed" for the
purpose Of eliminating all workers
who fall into the above explained
categories. At least 25 600 jobs will
go under the axe. For the remain
ing relief workers absolutely nc
provision is made that their jobs
will continue. Each worker is to be
classified for his ''re-absorption into
private industry" according to g.
statement by Commissioner Hodson
on June Is. At the same time he
admitted that industrial activity
has not reduced the relief rolls, and
that an increasing number of jobless
are daily applying for relief.
At the same time every means is
brought into play to force the La
Guardia hunger plans on the I'M
employed and relief workers. Terror
is increased. Workers organizing
on the projects are intimidated
and fired. Criminal prosecutions
are started against workers who
though jobless, have according to
chief chiseler home relief director
Corsi, bank accounts which had not
yet been exhausted and applied for
home relief.
Elect Albany Delegates
These new assaults upon the re-
lief workers should galvanize every
organized and unorganized relief
worker into immediate action. The
Associated Office and Professional
Emergency Employees with Offices
at 232 Seventh Ave, the Fedora
ton of Architects, Engineers, Chem
lists and Technicians at 232 Seventh
Ave, the Relief Workers League of
20 East Goth ST., and the Unem-
ployment Councils these and other
organizations affiliated to the
United Conference on Work, Relief
and Unemployment have prepared
a set of demands for all unemployed
workers:
l. The immediate enactment of
the Workers Unemployment and
Social Insurance Bill by the state
Legislature.
2. Abrogation of the Bankers
Agreement by which the city pays
each month 23 million dollars on
the debt service.
3. Taxes on the giant public
utilities, the super profits od the
corporations, inheritances and large
incomes for the raising of funds
for unemployment relief.
A. Cancellation of all eviction laws.
A mass delegation of workers
from the entire state will present
these demands to the special ses-
sion of the state legislature on July
81. Workers in all organizations
should Immediately raise the ques-
ton Of the election of delegates.
On the jobs and projects workers
should meet and elect delegates and
raise expense money by popular
subscription. Mass action is of the
utmost Importance at the present
time to defeat the starvation of the
