Anticipated Battle of
HeIenS Fades; La Moody
Quits Court for Year

BIZ JHit,d Press
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. IL
Tennis fans will have to wait until
1886 for another match between
Helen Wills Moody and Helen
Jacobs for Mrs. Moody has an
nounced she is not going to play in
any more tournaments this year.
What lay behind the announce
ment no one except Helen herself
and perhaps her husband, Frederick
Moody, apparently knows.
Some believed that the back in
jury which forced Mrs. Moody to
default to Miss Jacobs in the ma
tionals two years ago and which
kept her out of tennis until her
sudden appearance in England this
spring was responsible. These held
that Mrs. Moody did not feel strong
enough for another bitter clash
with the other Helen.
There we're some who insisted
that Moody's desire that his wife
remain at home and take it easy
had something to do with the type
written announcement newspapers
received last night.

well but Reed hit too hard and
went over the green. He took three
more to get down and 6. Simp-
son again won the hole with a DOGGY

On the next hole young Reed
again took a six and lost to Simp-

reason for Bills six. That put him
one down. and loser of four Of the

Reed was partially stimmied on
No. 30, but got a par and he also
halved the next with a par. but

more to get in, Simpson was right
there with his par to win, and the
veteran played cautiously for an
other par and the final verdict on

HUB FANS REGARD RUTH AS COMING
 HOME TO BOSTON
Braves May Be Inspired to Post of FIag-COntend-
 CTS Under New SetuD
BY FRANK MURRAY (Cnite1 Press Stan C;OPrpsnOslflSsns

NOnteu k-fcbS Stuu COffcSpOn0ent)
 Boston, Feb 27-Coming of Babe Ruth to the Braves led some to predict today that before long Bos- ton will again be basebalrs first city"
 The Red Sox, they argued with some reason, are definitely on the road back under the triple sua- sion of Tom Yawkey's millions, Eddie Collins business brains, and the field direction of genial Joe Cronin, the $250,000 beauty.
 They forecast that before many months the Braves would throw off their stand-patism and, with Ruth furnishing some of the new capital, launch drive to- build up Boston's first real National league pennant contender since the 1914 miracle team."
 Significance was attached by these boosters to the renewed in terest being haken in tribal affairs by Charles Francis Adams, veal thy chain store magnate who is Braves vice-president and minor ity stockholder to the tune of some $400,000.
 For the Future
 They read added significance in- to Adams remark. commenting on the Ruth deal, that "I hope that before his three-year contract ex- pires he will be a part owner of the club"
 Adams has ample assets and the boosters predicted that an Adams Ruth combine would eventually buy the Braves back to power. Where Judge Emil Fuchs, hard working Braves president who has Plost heavily on the club, would iit was not indicated.
 Whatever the outcome, the struggling Braves supposedly go- ing 10 the dogs few weeks ago,
 bounced back into the baseball spotlight today with Ruth's home coming. Hub fans regard Babes return as just that; they consid- cred 1t Kidnapping when the late Harry (Heartlcss Harry) Frazee shipped him from the Red Sox to the Yankees for pot of gold Aging legs may relegate Ruth to the roles of pinch hitter, part time outfieldcr, baseline coach and bench assistant, but, with shrewed Bill McKechnie and the veteran Rabbit Maranville, he may prod the Braves to new achievements next season.
 Remember?
 I Now joined on the same club, l Ruth and Maranville arc relics of the wartime era when Boston was 1 bascball's first city. Maranvillc was shortstop and sparkplug of the world champion Braves of 1914; l Ruth rookie southpaw and bud ding slugger on the world cham pion Red Sox of '15. '1G, and IS. After his sale to the Yankees two years later, Boston went into its long baseball decline and now, with his return, the picture on all sides seems to be looking up.
 Boston writers all hailed the Ruth deal as Il master stroke, for
 both sentimental and practical
 reasons. There was an undercur-
 rent of feeling that the American
 league wasn't fully awake when it
 let Babe go, whatever his age and ailments.
 Ruth's acquisition should go far toward restoring equilibrium to the Boston baseball picture. Yawkey and his Red SoX got lot of pub | licity last season, but after 1t was all over the Braves were in fourth place in the National league ana that's just where the Red Sox stood in their circuit.

ponc until this year the conversion of Jimmy Foxx into major league catcher, the 72-year-old manager of the Philadelphia Athletics said today.
 Squinting into bright sun at the big Maryland apple-knockcr hand ling young pitchers in a spring workout. Mack said that when Foxx came to the Athletics as a hitting catcher at the age of IS, the club was well fortified behind the plate.
 What we needed was some ac- ton at the plate and so we changed F'oxX into d first baseman. where the grind is less severe and less likely to cause n hitter to slump.
 And as a first baseman he con tinued, but he's also going to be q great catcher. although he wasn't enthusiastic about switching behind the bat.
 He still thinks he can break the home run record, his announced in- tcntion when he first joined us.
 Took His Time
 "I deliberated a year before de- cidcd to change him back to his original position for the coming season.
 Tn 1893 Jimmy was the out standing batsman in the American League. If I had shifted him from first to catching after that, and his batting and slugging fell off, l would be blamed and criticized.
 "The fans would have pointed to me as the man who ruined Jimmy Foxx as Babe Ruth's successor.
 Well. last season Jimmy fell off many points in batting while play ing his regular position. And he didn't break the home run record, so feel free to shift Jimmy back behind the bat.
 "Now. if Jimmy drops Below his 1893 hitting, no one can charge 1t to change in playing position. At that. l expect him to do at least as well as he did last year.
 f"As far as his catching Is con- cerned, the pitchers already are en- thusiastic. And if my pitchers start next season like they finished last, we'll be the big surprise of 1885, , Copyright 1935 By United Press)
