We are still sitting in drawing
room Numbered among those who
are thus sitting is Mr.. Babe Ruth,
who has just recently announced his
retirement from the Yankees, and,
unless he gets a managers job,
from baseball. Mr.. Ruth is sitting
there in his pajamas-flannel they
are-and in the shirt pocket there
are six cigars, handkerchief and a
comb.
You can understand the presence
of the cigars and the handkerchief,
but why the comb? Presently you
can understand the why of this also.
Mr.. Ruth has a nervous manner
ism. He combs his hair a lot While
talking. Obviously he is prepared
to do lot of talking. 1t may even
be that ne talks in his sleep. You
agree this latter possibility would
explain everything.
The drawing room is filled with
blue clouds of smoke that form an
eerie sort of funnel around the
whirring blades of the electric fan.
A tan-faced porter in white jacket
is swapping tin-ruffled bonnets off
heads of bottles. There is a lot of
talk about the breaking of the seal
and screwy laws, and such.
DRETTY soon a baseball writer
Il asks Mr.. Ruth what he thought
of the world series which had just
come to a close. with the Cards
beating the Tigers four to three in
a seven-game series.
They deserved to win" doomed
the lustv Mr.. Ruth. I'm an Ameri-
can Lacquer at heart because I start
ed out in the league and I spent
twenty-one years in it, but I want
to say the Cards showed me al
least two ball players who are my
kind of ball players, that guy Mar
tin and that guy Medwick."
Mr.. Ruth went on to explain that
that guy Martin and that guy Med
wick played the game up to the hilt,
they asked no quarter and gave no
dimes, they took their chances on
the bases, in the field and at the
bat: in effect. they said to the other
side. Come on, let's see how good
you are"
That's baseball" said Mr.. Ruth.
Put everything you've got into
every play and If it happens that
you send somebody bouncing on his
ear, well that's just too bad. And
if you are inclined to be screamish,
don't overlook the fact that the
other guy isn't crippled. There is
no law against him bouncing you
on your ear when his chance
comes

N. D. Purdue
to Renew Old
BoiIermakerS Place Hopes
on PurviS; Irish Coach
Shifts Lineup.
By United Press

By United Press
SOUTH BEND, Ind. Oct. IL
One of the Hoosier states most
outstanding football feuds will be
renewed Saturday with the six
tenth meeting between Notre
Dame and Purdue at South Bend.
The contest is the major sttrac-
ton on the Hoosier football sched-
ule this weekend. The game lost
much of it's national prestige, how
ever, when both teams lost their
opening games.
Purdue Victor Last Year
The Bolermakers succumbed to a
last-quarter attack by Rice and
were defeated, IA to 0, in their
opener, while Texas nosed out Notre
Dame, to 6.
Purdue broke a string of losses
to Notre Dame in the series last
year with a 19-to-0 victory. Previous
meetings had resulted in nine VIC
tories for the Irish, three for Pur-
due, and rwo ties.
Both teams use the Rockne sys-
tenn, as taught by two members Of
the 1924 national championship
football team coached by the late
Knute Rockne. Coach Noble Kizer,
watch-charm guard of the Seven
Mules" directs the Purdue squad.
Elmer Layden, triple-threat full
back of Notre Danes greatest back
field, is coaching the Irish.
Carter, Skoronski to Play
Purdue hopes to have PurviS, all
America half back, in the lineup
Saturday. He was forced to the
sidelines last weekend with an in
jured ankle. Carter, half back, and
Skoronski, center, are the only
other members of last years team
which faced Notre Dame who again
are available.
Coach Elmer Layden has effected
several shifts to strengthen the
Irish. Robinson at center instead
of Solari, Smiths replacement of
Schrenker at guard, and Elser at
half back in place of Carideo are
probable changes.

MIR. RUTH proceeded to explain
1V1 further that drive and spirit
and power never hurt any sport. "I
wouldn't have ball player on my
team" he said (still dreaming of the
day when and if he may manage a
big league ball club who took the
easy way out on any kind of play.
I can't go for these guys who bump
into player and Immediately ex-
claim, oh, goodness gracious me,
am so terribly, terribly sorry"
The implication here is plain
enough, though Mr.. Ruth was care
full not to put it in words, possibly
on the knowledge that his advisers
would compel him to issue state
ment in denial saying that the very
same thing in different phraseology.
What Mr.. Ruth was saying was
that the National Leaguers play
more spirited baseball than the
American Leaguers. I don't think
that is generally true, but it GER
tainly was true Of the world series.
The TACT is there is a lot of sour
puss, heavy-hipped baseball in both
leagues. On too many teams there
are players who seem to think they
are doing the customers a favor by
merely appearing at the park.
The fire and dash of the Cards
was so unusual and extraordinary
as to be completely astonishing.
Not only Martin and Medwick but
practically everybody on the team
played as if they were hoped up
about the series, the sport and the
esteem Of the customers. They gave
you the impression that they were
having a perfectly grand time hui
initiating their opposition. If you
can possibly think of another rea-
son besides the Deaus why they
won. this was it.

his disapproval Of the 10 per cent
restoration, the President said his
principal objection was because it was
contrary to the administrations econ
omy program and that no provision
was made in the act for increasing
revenues sufficient to meet the ap-
proximately $l25,000,000 involved in
this 10 per cent restoration.
There was no comment at the White
House today regarding criticisms from
Republican leaders that the Presi-
dents pledge of full pay restoration
next July was a vote-getting PROPOSE
ton, inasmuch as election day is less
than a week off 1t is known, how
ever. that the President keenly felt
this thrust from his political oppo-
nentS. 1t was pointed out that the
matter came up at this time because
the budget estimates for the next
fiscal year are now in the course of
preparation, and the time has ar
rived when some advance preparation
must be made in the matter of ap-
preparations to meet the full reStora-
tion next July.
1t was pointed out further that
rather than being vote-getting lure,
this restoration pledge should serve
as something of suggestion to busi-
ness and industry throughout the
country.

GARNETT IS ASKED
T0PR0VE CHARGE
Wilbur La Roe, Jr., ChaI'
Ienges claim That Easy
Paroles Foster Crime.

Wilbur La Roe, jr., member of the
District Parole Board, today issued a
challenge to United States Attorney
Leslie c. Garnett to prove his charges
that easy parole and the indetermi-
nate sentence law are largely respon-
sible for crime in Washington" by
citing ANY instance where any
prisoner released by the Parole Board
has committed serious crime"
Garnett made the charges at Mon
day nights law and order mass meet
ing. La Roe himself told this meeting
the parole law was too loose. Tighten
the law" he told the audience, "and
tighten we members of the board, too,
If you feel we need it,"
La Roe's letter follows:
I believe that the papers are right
in saying that in fighting this crime
wave we should not spend too much
time slapping each other on the back.
I admire your work greatly. but in
stead Of engaging in Shaping, I
am going to issue public challenge to
you. This is done only in the best of
spirit and in the hope of revealing the
truth.
Il am going to challenge you to name
any instance where any prisoner re-
leased b ythe Parole Board has COM
mitted a serious crime or subjected any
resident of the District of Columbia to
serious injury since the time of his
release by our board A list of such
cases submitted by you would be in
teresting not only to us but to the
general public.
MY memory tells me that of the
ITS prisoners released by our board
only four committed crimes that could
be called serious, there being one case
of robbery in another jurisdiction, and
three cases of joy-riding in the Dis
trict of Columbia. In only one of these
three latter cases has there been
conviction.
If your records show any other in
stances where our PAROLES have COM
mitted a serious crime the information
would be deeply appreciated by this
board and by the general public, and
might help to clarity your statement
that the indeterminate sentence law
and the early and easy parole of
prisoners are directly responsible for
the prevalence of crime in Wash
ington.'"
