Heydler Says Ruth Must Win
To Pack Crowd In for Braves
Former National League
President Claims Babe
Must Go Places.
Happy to Be Free Again
and See Country for
First Time.

~ ABE RUTH may not pack 'em
- in as people believe he will
1t all depends on whether the
- Boston Braves have a win
ming team.
This is the opinion of John Heydler,
retired president of the National
League, who paid visit today to the
sports department and composing
room of The Evening Star, where for
years he had been a member of the
printing staff. Later he was sports
editor of The Post.
Heydler said Ruth might knock
all sorts of home runs for the Braves
and not be a big gate attraction unless
the fans feel the club is going places. -
Looking nowhere near his IS years,
Heydler nevertheless is happy to be
out of harness, he said.
For the first time in my life" he
explained. Il feel like a truly free
man. For the first time, too, I'm see
ing our country. I was porn and
reared in New York, but never have
seen the upper part of my home State.
I've travelled lot, yes, but it's been
mostly around the circuit of the Ma
tional League
Heydler is thoroughly confident in
the ability of his successor to the
presidency of the league. young Ford
Frick, former newspaper man and
radio speaker.
'Frick is bright, enterprising
young man." said he, and he has had
more business experience than gen.
orally is known. And he has a great
assistant in Harvey Traban, who was
my secretary"
The financial worries of base ball
magnates are not clearly understood
by the public, in Heydler's opinion.

5000 BRAVE RAIN
TO WITNESS RITES
Dancers, in Oriental Garb,
Lead Cherry Blossom
Fete at Basin.

Undaunted by drizzling rain and
Washingtonians and visitors attended
the sunrise services this morning
under the japanese cherry blossoms
that skirt the shores Of the Tidal
Basin.
In view OF the weather. no such
crowd was anticipated, but officials
of the National Capital parks es-
innate the attendance was larger than
last year when the community cele-
bration of cherry blossom time was
staged on a more elaborate scale.
Chairs had been provided for about
500 persons. and although the serv-
ices did not begin until $50 O'Clock,
some of the seats we're taken almost
an hour earlier.
Suffer From Rain.
The trees had suffered slightly from
the overnight rain and the crisp winds
of late yesterday, but the blossoms,
nevertheless, supplied an amply COL
orful background for series of num-
bers presented by the Evelyn Davis
dancers.
Accompanied by the Marine Band,
the dancers greeted the sunrise, al
though the sun failed to peep from
behind the clouds. This was followed
by a legendary Japanese dance, The
Sun God Chooses Bride" in which
the dancers appeared in Oriental cos
tunes and masks
The services were sponsored by the
National Capital Parks. the Com
munity Center Department and the
Greater National Capital Committee
of the Washington Board of Trade
c. Marshall Finnan, superintendent of
the Capital parks; Arno B. Cammerer,
director of the National Park Service,
and Mrs. Elizabeth K. Peoples, director
of the Community Center Department,
were among officials present.
Display at Peak Today.
Parks officials believe the annual
Spring display will pass its peak today
and that while some blossoms will be
left on the trees through Sunday, they
probably will present a rather ragged
appearance.
On the double blossom trees extend
ing to Hains Point in East Potomac
Park, the first bits of color are ap-
pearing. 1t is estimated they will be
in full bloom within the next 10 days
or two weeks. Warm weather in the
meantime may hasten their maturity.
Tomorrow at pm. Mrs. Franklin
D. Roosevelt and Ambassador Hirosi
Saito of Japan are scheduled for a
joint radio broadcast under auspices
of the Citizens Cherry Blossom Com
mittee of which Mrs. Esther Caukin
Brunauer is chairman. The speakers
will discuss the mutual interests of the
two countries and the broadcast will
conclude with the presentation of the
national anthems of the United States
and Japan.

Going by 1888.

~OLUMBUS, Ohio, December 81.
Joe F. Carr, promotional
director of organized base ball,
predicted today that the dia-
mond game. during the next two years,
will experience the greatest growth in
its history.
There are now 81 minor leagues"
Carr said. "but We hope to have so
In operation when the 1888 season
starts. A big drive toward that goal
will be started just after the first
Of the year, and indications are that
at least Is new circuits, mostly class
C and class D, will be ready to go
when the 1886 season opens"
Carr disclosed that eight new leagues
are planned along the Atlantic sea-
board. Some of them are in territory
surrendered by defunct loops, but
others are in sections which have
never had organized base ball.
Contacts Established.
CONTACTS in each of the districts
have been made, Carr said, and
organizers and promotional men will
start their follow-up work shortly after
January l.
One Of the proposed leagues will be
composed Of towns in Northern New
York and Southern Canada.
Others in the Eastern district are:
Connecticut State League; a tri-
State loop made up of teams in Maine,
Massachusetts, and New Hampshire;
the Eastern Shore League. composed
Of towns in Maryland and Virginia;
the Keystone State loop, composed of
towns in North Central Pennsylvania;
a new circuit taking over the territory
Of the old Blue Ridge League and COM
posed of teams from Maryland, PENN
sylvania and Virginia; new loop in
Central North Carolina and one op-
Grating in the old Appalachian League
territory and made up of teams from
Virginia, West Virginia and Tennessee
Other Leagues Being Formed.
A HOST of leagues are in the forma-
tive stage in other sections of the
country. Carr said, and some of the
districts will have many more than
the Eastern layout which he described.
Many of the circuits will not be ready
to start during the coming season, he
said but he believes most of them
will have their organizations COM
pleted in time for the 1887 races.
THE formation of new leagues is
not going forward under any hap
hazard system" Carr said. THE finan-
cial set-up of every team and every
league is thoroughly checked before
organized base ball franchises are
awarded. All organized base ball, both
in the majors and in the minors, is
behind the plan to enlarge the minor
loop field"
