SPECIAL CLAUSE
 IN LEASE WILL GET BRAVES FIELD

New York, Jan 17.-(UP)- President Ford Prick began the struggle to-day with the first big problem to confront him as the new head of the. National league.
 Surroupnded and aided by the eight directors, he began the task of untangling the affairs of the Boston Braves, dispossessed at Braves field and on the hands of the league until they have been put back in their own plant or es- tablished in another.
 Prick and other baseball men were confident the Braves prob- lem woulud be settled without great difficulty.
 Since Judge Emil Fuchs, presi- dent of the club, broke the lease on the field, subsequently turned over to q dog racing syndicate, 1t has peen revealed that the lease goes back into effect unless Fen way park, the Red Sox plant, is thrown upon to him.
 He cannot use Fenwav park, and moving back to his own plant was regarded as mere formality by baseball men.
 However, likelihood Of a, reor- ganization of the deeply indebted team was expected, in which case Charles Francis Adams, vice presi- dent, would succeed Fuchs in con- trOl .

New York, Jan 18-(UP)--There are two considerably amazing an gles to the 30th annual motorboat show which opens at Grand Central Palace today. One is the almos! universal trend towards stream-lin- ing and the other is the fact that motorboat prices have moved sc far down the scale.
 In connection with the latter ] rush to point out that the prices haven't dipped to q point where motorboats will be given in lieu of cigars or paperweights as custom crs' Christmas gifts, but the tags now bear figures which don't seem like telephone numbers.
 Specifically there is sna y Chris Craft whicf. measures 25 feet has living space for four adults, galley, locker space, toilet and ice box, and which may be owned by laying $1,590 on the line some where in Michigan. That just gives an idea for it wasn't so long ago that any such boat would command double that money.
 Of course the designers and builders haven't overlooked those well-heeled ones who must have boats and who would feel chinchJ to give up any such sum as $15O0 There are models shown by Gal Wood, Dodge, A. c. F., Mathews and Richardson and Whitney priced approximately according tt size and the number of doo-dads they contain, and some AS foot numbers are tagged at around $25,000.
 The streamline trend, however is what catches the eye. The idea, of course, is for greater speed and the more shapely lines from stem to stern to accomplish this.
 Over in one corner of this first floor (thc show occupies three floors of the palace) you find one of the show officials, Russ Gudgeon baldish young gent who used .o be a newspaper man. You ask him how it comes that the boats are faster and faster each year.

MILLER INTERESTS MAKE BIG OFFER
 FOR HIS SERVICES
Managerial Job Will Keep Him in Baseball, It
 Is Believed
BY LAWTON CARVER United Press Stan COrresDondent !

New York, Jan IS = (U.P.) = Babe Ruth of the coming summeT won't be wearing a Yankee uni. form if he finally decides to accept an offer he has under considera. ton.
 He will be out in the tall timber atop an elephant preceded by calliope playing Take Me Back to The Ball Game" The Babe has a $75,00O bid for his services as a circus performer.
 Whether he accepts depends largely upon what occurs during the next few weeks, prior to his arrival from Paris where he is stopping en route home from baseball tour of the Orient.
 If offered a managerial position in baseball, Ruth probably will re- main in the game. But he has an- nounced he won't play another season, and $75,000 for summer of any kind of work would look good even to the affluent Babe.
 The offer was made before he sailed from New York by Joseph Tamburri of Stamford, Conn. re. presenting Zack Miller, who is re- organizing the 101 Ranch show.
 The Babe didn't make a definite reply and during his absence nego- tiations have been carried on be- tween Tam burri and Christy Walsh the Babes business manager.
 Tamburri has offered the $75,0O6 or a privilege of 30 per cent of the gross. Walsh is holding out in the Babes behalf for 55 per cent and there they are deadlocked un- til the Home Run King returns.
 Besides parading on the elephant the Babe would appear in a spe- cial act which would include Fun go-hitting and talks to youngsters.
 He would supplant the famous cowboy performers who have tour ed with the show, Tom Mix in- cluded, and his act would be the headliner on the program made up otherwise of western attractions.
 Tamburri has worked out the Babes part in the show-even to his parading on the elephant be- hind the calliope - and believes that the Babe is virtually under the big top.
 The salary would be more than Ruth could make in baseball, and he probably would get as much Of a kick out of circusing as the pub lie would in watching him.

TO-DA Y,S SPORT PARADE

"Racing does it." Gudgeon says. Every time these fellows such as Gar Wood, Hubert Scott-Paine, Kaye Don, George Refs and Bill Horn put on race they contribute just a little bit to the speed and refinement of 1.-ott rboating.
 "Figures prove it. This Is the 30th annual motorboat show. When the first one was held the patrons gazcd at snappy models which were capable of shimming over the water at such amazing speeds as 23 1-2 miles an hour. Man named Ricotte, driving Standard. had just set an official world mark of 23.6. Now the record is 124.S6 miles set by Gar Wood in one of his numbers. More than 100 miles faster in 30 years"
