Ruth, Freed by Braves, Leaves
for New York; Confetti
Shower Is Farewell

BOSTON,. June 3 G.N.S).
Silent over his plans to remain
in major league baseball as a
manager, but bitter against Judge
Emil Fuchs, who gave him his
unconditional release from the
Boston Braves, Babe Ruth de-
parted for New York by automo-
bile today amid a shower of con-
fetti intended for a bride and
groom.
The Home Run King, who came
to the Hub in blaze Of glory
this spring, emerged quietly from
his hotel with his wife and daugh.
ter in the face of a small crowd
waiting for a bridal couple. The
confetti began to descend before
the crowd realized basebalrs Sui
tan OF Swat was being showered.
Through as Player
At the wheel of his automobile
and with his wife and daughter
at his side, Babe departed from
Boston a free agent. He takes a
60-day vacation from baseball
under the voluntary retirement
plan.
Keep On Playing
With the confetti barrage bring
ing a smile to his hitherto immob-
ible face, the Babe exclaimed be-
fore he drove away:
"I'll continue in baseball as
long as 1 can stand up"
Asked what he was going to do
in New York, Babe said:
I'm going to play golf, and
I'm going to play more golf.
I'm going to play golf for the
rest of my life-and fish"
He was asked if he thought he
was good enough on the links to
turn pro, and the query brought
a laugh from him. He shot back:
"NO. was only foOling, kid.
I'm going to stay in baseball as
long as 1 can stand up"
Judge Emil Fuchs, president OF
the Tribe, who declared he had
written a letter to Ruth firing"

dugout during the eighth inning
of the Sunday afternoon game be-
tween the Braves and Giants, de-

Prince Has Date
With Shirley---
Truck Sent
Copyright, 1885, by International
News Service)

HOLLYWOOD, June 3 GIN.
SD.-Prince Purachatra Of Siam
had a date to meet Shirley
Temple today, but he almost
had to ride to the studio in a
truck.
The prince, who is a brother
of the Ex-King of Siam, asked
to meet the child star and be
allowed to make home movies
of her. The studio not only
agreed but volunteered to send
a car to pick him up.
It is safe to say the door-man
of this exclusive hoStelry has
never been more surprised when
the royal transportation turned
out to be a yellow truck.
Came frantic calls to the
transportation department. And
there the mystery was solved
at last. The person who took
the order thought he was being
told to pick up prints"

Hay.taek Popular in Mexico


Because dOnkeys are more plentiful
than Ritchfarks in most parts of the
central plateau OF Mexico. the hay-
stack is one of the most remarkable
features Of the landscape The stack
Is invariably shaped like a loaf of
homemade bread with a slightly
bulged top. and cutaway ends. Instead
of pitching hay with fork. the Mex.
lean farmer drags 1t into position with
a burro. AS the stack mounts higher
and higher. the work of the burro
grows increasingly difficult. he climbs
up one side of the stack with his
load of hay. drops the load on the
top. and then descends to the other
side. When the stack attains the de-
sired height and length. Its ends. which
have served the burro as ramp. are
cut away with q machete.-Detroit
