Frick to Keep
Hands Off
In Ruth Case

NEW YORK. June 3.-Ford
Prick. president of the National
League, today adopted q hands
off policy in connection with
Babe Ruth's resignation" from
the Boston Braves.
But from other sources close
to the Boston club, from the
Braves themselves and from
rival clubs, some Of the facts
Of the case were disclosed for
the first time.
It was revealed, too. that by
"reSigning," Ruth not only
tossed away thousands Of dol.
lars in salary and bonuses but
automatically destroyed q con.
tract he had to manage the
Braves next season.
Despite a flood Of denials
since the start of the season,
Ruth did have such a contract.
In fact, he held two contracts;
one a player contract which is
filed in the office of the Ma
tional League. and the second
"a private contract. between
himself and the Boston club,
stipulating that he be the man.
ager in 1885.
This second contract con.
tanned a clause that lin the
event Of misbehavior" the con-
tract became void.

To Be

Braves

BOSTON, June 3.-Lou Wentz,
multimillionaire oil man, of Ponca
City, Kan, may buy the Boston
Braves, according to unconfirmed
reports here today on the heels
of the release of Babe Ruth and
a clamor by fans for the exit Of
President Emil E. Fuchs.
Nobody would talk officially,
but it was recalled that Wentz was
reported ready last year to enter
major league baseball financially,
but failed to purchase the st.
Louis Cardinals.
Whether the entry Of Wentz
into Boston would mean the re.
turn Of Ruth was problematical.
Wentz was said to be q friend of

Judge Fuchs announced that the
Babe had been given an uncondi-

This move by Judge Fuchs left
the door open for Ruth to become
part owner Of the Braves. How
ever, the Babes only reply to the
statement Of Fuchs was:
II like Boston. I like the
Braves; Manager Bill McKechnie
is a swell fellow"
Mr.. McKechnie said:
you're a gentleman, Babe"
In making his declaration that
he was through, Ruth said that he
had words with Judge Fuchs over
an exhibition game in Haverhill
today, a performance that would
have prevented him from carry
ing out his plans to be in New
York for the welcoming of the
new transatlantic liner Norman.

PERPETUAL FEUD WITH FUCHS
Babe said he thought when he
hit the three homers in Pitts
burgh he was on his way to q
comeback after a hard spring of
colds. But, he added, he received
a knee injury in Cincinnati last
week, and declared:
'T'll never put on a Boston

is the head Of the ball club"
Fuchs said:
