CRIME WAR FUND CUT
THREATENS EQUIPMENT
Purchase of Armored Cars for
u. S. Agents Unlikely After
Slash of $7OO,OOO.

BY the Associated Press.
The Justice Department probably
will have to abandon plans to pur-
chase armored cars for its agents
functioning under the new crime bill
as a result of decreases made by
Congress in the appropriation for this
purpose.
Attorney General Cummings at a
press conference yesterday said the de-
partment would have to figure out
ways of effecting economies in the
anti-crime program, since Congress
cut approximately 100000 off the
total asked.
Within the next few days also a
decision is to be made on what size
and type Of rewards will be offered
for the capture Of desperadoes like
John Dillinger.

THE SPORTLICH1
Ruth Intends to Stick to Base Ball,
Tigers Spirit Tells, Says Cochrane.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

II some rival team piles up lead OF
four Of five runs, we never worry
about it. We all have the feeling that
sooner or later we'll get those runs
back-and maybe few more.
There hardly is spot in our line
up where a rival pitcher can afford
to loaf. He must keep bearing down
every minute of the game-and that
isn't an easy thing to do. We spotted
as fine a pitcher as Lefty Gomez l3
or IA runs in his last two starts
against us-and still won out. The
average ball club would be discouraged
with Gomez holding that big margin.
This club of ours doesn't get dis
couraged, We play it out-an the
way through.
The same thing goes for our
pitchers. Even when well behind,
they keep on pitching, figuring the
bunch will get them runs enough to
win out.
AFTER all, it goes back more to
spirit-team spirit-than anything
else. 1t isn't an easy job to keep
hustling from April to October,
through l54 ball games. There al
ways Is a strong temptation after
June or early July to coast here and
thereto loaf q little. No other COM
petitive sport calls for such grind
over so long a period Of time-day
after day for nearly six months. But
we haven't done any loafing or coast
ing. The entire bunch has kept
hustling since the first game Of the
season, and it will be out there
hustling just the same until the race
Is over"

ROSENBLOOM-OL|N

Argument of ChaIIenger's
Manager Prevails on
New York Chiefs.
BY JOHN ]. ROMANO.

n VIEW YORK, August 17-Harold
Scadron, manager of Bob
Y Olin, went before the local
boxing commission and per-
suaded it to rescind the ban
on the proposed nght-heavyweight
championship match between Olin
and Make Rosenbloom.
But since the general public got
the idea that the match was not
sanctioned because the managers Of
the two boxers were too friendly, no
promoter now cares to handle the
contest.
II did not think it was a crime to
be friendly with Frank Bachman,
whom I have known for many years."
Scadron said. Just because I man
age a fighter of Rosenbloon's weight
does not mean have to break up
a friendship.
Il am the only manager Olin ever
had. I took him soon after he won
the Golden Gloves title and worked
hard to put him in the position he
now occupies as the leading contender
for the light-heavyweight title.
II saw Rosenbloom on the coast
and he has gone away back. He Is
ready to be taken by a hard-punching
youngster like Olin, and that was why

What Next?

THERE are three ways the Babe
l. can carve a living out of base
ball
One might be in the role Of pinch
hitter. playing occasional games.
The second would be some man
agerial post.
The third would be transforming
tour next Spring and Summer, which
might enable him to pick up as much
cash as any ball club could afford to
pay. He could play to big business,
especially In the smaller towns where
he hasn't been seen.
The role of pinch hitter hardly
would appeal. The managing Job still
is his top choice, and, II that should
fail to work out, he might take a shot
at touring the hamlets and the smaller
cities.
Ruth carried deep yearning to get
one more shot at world series gold
and glory-then the Tigers exploded
their double header bomb as they
opened the flve-game series in New
York.
So far as professional golf is con-
cerned, there would be no important
money in this field The Babe could
work his game into the fairly low 70's,
as he has done before, but he began
too late to have any show against the
Sarazens or Runyans or Armours. He
might do fairly well on an exhibition
tour with star pro as playing
partner-but some form Of base ball
would pay much larger dividends.
