Tottering financially because
of the vast sea of empty seats at
Braves Field during the past
season, the Braves have stacked
their hopes of getting out of the
red by bringing together the
two dynamic kingpins of the
diamond, Babe Ruth, THE Bam-
bino," and Rabbit Maranville,
the Peter Pan"
POurs Out $3,OOO,OOO
The crowd magnetism of this
pair of baseball immortals SER
iously threatens the gate suprem-
acy built up by Tom YaWkey,
wealthy owner of the American
League Red Sox, who has poured
100000 into his club to buy
new players and renovate Fen
way Park, in his determination to
make the SoX pennant winning
team.
Babe Ruth's future with the
Braves depends upon the results
of the struggle. If successful he
is believed certain to replace Bill
McKechnee as manager of the
Tribe along with the executive
post of second vice president
which he is given in his three
year contract.
Part Ownership
One report today had it that
Judge Emil Fuchs, president of
the Braves, might step out, ad-
vancing Vice President Charles F..
Adams to the top, carrying Ruth
higher in the front office and CIV
ing him part ownership.
The report, however, was i'm
mediately denied.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1935-02-27

"The post of second vice
president means nothing in the
case of Ruth" said Sgd Cohen,
as we rode to the ball park this
morning. THAT is something
for him right now. In another
year, and in future years Ruth
will be a powerful factor in the
affairs of the National League.
I'm surprised that Chicago
didn't grab him when waivers
were asked"
And that seems to be the yer.
sion of all the boys who are old
enough to have any opinions
worth while. For the rest of the
gang, all they want is warmer
weather so that they can step Out
and throw that ball around today
The Weather Bureau holds little
hope. There's full Pledged
norther on, and 1t will just have
to blow itself out.

7:30 o'clock. After the conclu.
sion of this game, there follow
various events in which the stu.
dent organizations participate.
The doors will be closed a. SIS

until GAS o'clock. when the bouts
are scheduled. At least 1000 adj
ditional fans can be accommo-
dated for the boxing bouts.

Weather Man Interferes
Local colleges, looking to their
spring sports, were handed set.
back by the weather man today.
The cold weather and snow GOV.
cred the fields, halting lacrosse
and football practice at Maryland.
Unless there is warmer weather
and subsequent thaw within the
next few days, it is doubtful if
gridiron candidates at Georgetown
and Catholic u. will be summoned
Monday, as had been planned.
With Al Waters and Vic Willis

for the night with II points.

In Babe Ruth's going to the
older league, I believe I can de-
tect the invisible hand of Ford
C. Prick, the young, energetic,
alert, president of the National
League, who got his training in
farSightedness in the hard, daily
grind Of newspaper work which
requires men of vision and i'm
agination. Yes, men with ideas,
not just dreams.
Old Pals Reunited
In a manner the latest de-
velopment in baseball personnel
manipulation will again join
Ruth and Prick, who for years
were travelling companions with
the New York Yankees, Ruth as
a player and star of the first
magnitude, and Prick as New
York Evening Journal staff cor
respondent and Ruth's ghost
writer. The reams of copy that
Ford Prick has written under
Babe Ruth's name would almost
reach the total distance of Babe
Ruth'S home runs.
But Ruth was getting older
and slowing up, while Prick was
also getting older, more eX-
perienced and better recognized
throughout baseball for his
frankness and observation-disclosures
as we'll as clear seeing.
Baseball was getting ready to
employ these accomplishments
of Tricks and the National
League ultimately made an
American League writer its
publicity man and later its
president when Prick went from
the newspaper shops to the
presidency of the National
League within IL months.
Tricks Hand Seen
And within two months of
the time that Prick stepped into
the high executive berth left
vacant by the resignation of
John Arnold Heydler, we be-
lieve that he engineered the
deal which secured Ruth's un-
conditional release from the
New York Yankees and attaches
him in both an executive and
managing as we'll as a playing
capacity to Tricks adopted
league, the National. Prick,
you know, was more than cor
dial with Col. Jacob Rupert,
Yankee owner. He had access
to the Rupert side door.
Loyalty to his new affiliations
has impelled President Ford
trick to accomplish a master
stroke during his early incum'
hency. He has had an intimate
hand in adjusting the embar-
raised financial affairs of the
Boston Braves since it became
known it was in economic
straits at the time Braves Field
was the goal of dog racing in
terestS.
In monetary terms, the Ruth
shift to Boston probably does
not approach the $250,000 sale

on them he intimates that the
stern father stuff does not hold in
the case of Earl Whitehill.
II told Burke to report when
he thought he should" said
Griffith this morning. Bob is a
chap who needs a lot of cOndi-
tiOning, but must take it in slow
style. 1 told him, however, that
he would not be welcomed in
camp if he refused to sign his
contract.
THE same goes for RUSSELL"
continued Griffith. 81 want him
here as soon as the rest, but he
must sign his contract. 1 think
he has been treated fairly"
What about Whitehill?" 1
asked.
Haven't heard of him lately"
Griff admitted. II sent him his
contract and it has not been
signed. But 1 expect little real
trouble with Whitehill. He will
sign when the time comes.

"By the way, Alex McCOII
came to terms with the club, so
that reduces the total number of
unsigned players to seven.
They'll all be in line. 1 had
word from Alvin Powell to the
effect that he would be here
next week, reporting before Or
dered. He wants to get those
several extra days of work be-
fore the team gets going. That's
the right spirit for a young
player. He has to make the
grade and he's willing to start
work early"

from the northland, a thought
flashed that maybe all was not as
easy with the silver-haired Grit

GR|FF CATCHER
RESEMBLES
JIM THORPE
By FRANK "BUCK" O'NEILL
Times Staff Writer

BILOXI, Miss, Feb. 27.-This
young catcher, Jack Redmond,
might pass as a brother Of the
great Indian athlete Jim Thorpe.
He has the redskins high cheek
bones, broad nose and prognathic
jaw. If he has some of Thorpe'S
great natural ability as an ath-
lete he will be all right.
McAlister, the young musician
who came here with the catching
squad already is talking of going
back home to his orchestra. The
boy plays mean piano and can
catch a minor with the best of
them. How he would handle a
foul tip is another matter. But
he wants to get home and he
will get his wish presently, guess.
Dick Lanahan apparently has
set Chattanooga as the goal of
his 1885 ambitions. The NRA
youth is not talking of winning
in the American League, but in
the Southern Association.
That doesn't go for little Archie
Scrivener. The red haired,
freckled face kid, is figuring how
to strike out Mickey Cochrane.
Not Dragging, but full of faith
in his own ability.
1t probably is all right. but
where in the world is Bucky
Harris? For the first time in
all this writer's experience, a
major league manager is not in
camp with the first squad.
I guess though, that Mike Mar
tin is doing all right with the
young men in camp. And unless
the weather improves over what
it was yesterday. your Aunt Kate
could tell the boys what to do
and how to do it.
Frank Peticolas, the tall and
handsome French boy who re-
nounced holy orders to return to
the world and take up the tasks
of a ball player may be one of
the greats of another year.
He has all the fire of the
Frenchman under stress, but his
ardor is tempered by his early
training. He is a splendid kid and
you find yourself roofing for his
success.
A round with the medicine ball
had the boys dripping wet in
spite of the blustery winds yester-
day, and run around the park
topped off the work for the day.
There's a cold snap on the Gulf
right now and anything like real
work may be delayed for a couple
of days.

Snow And Cold Again

~ Golf Courses

Local golfers hardly had dug
their paraphernalia from dusty
closets when again compelled to
lay it aside.
Return of colder weather and
snow again has blanketed the
courses, closing them for a week
or ten days at the most. Only
sustained warmer weather will
permit the courses to open

Waterbury Becomes Turkey Conscious

More than One-half million pounds of turkey arrived in Waterbury during the latter part of last week for the Christi mas trade, it was estimated to- day by Benjamin M. StOrrs, To- cal representative of the Con- necticut department of agricul- ture. Therefore, it is estimated that at least a third of a million dollars will be spent on Christi mas dinners Wednesday.
 Turkeys arriving in the city are mostly from the northwest ern part of the United States although a quantity has also been received from Oklahoma and Texas. Native turkeys, grown in Connecticut, were re- ported in large demand today.
 The Connecticut-raised tur- keys, of course, are demanding the highest prices. Wholesale they are costing 39 cents pound and up. They are slightly higher on the retail counters. Other turkeys, ranging from firsts down to thirds, are bring ing wholesale prices running from 29 cents up to 35 and 36 cents. A substantial number Vermont turkeys are also to be Ofund in the local markets.
 Local stores were crowded to- day as the people made final preparations to stock up on food for the holiday. Vegetables, fruits, nuts and liquid refresh mentS were being sold in large quantities. It appeared that Christmas tables in Waterbury would be the best in some years.
