FORT MYERS, Fla, March 1G.-- Babe Ruth, former home run k.ng, has turned down an offer of the Cincinnati Reds to return to base ball.

the veteran Alvin Crowder will be back with Rowe, giving Detroit the same four twirlers who won "A games in 1885. Manager Cochrane isn't losing any sleep over his pitch ing; he intends, however, to make it better, if possible, with the idea that good pitching, consistently, will be necessary for his club to stay on top in 1886.
 With one mlgnsy blow in the fifth game of the World Series last fall, Chuck Klein erased his name from the ''to-be- traded" list and won another fat contract from the Cubs. You will recall that Chuck hit a homer to beat the Detroit Tigers and stretch the series to six games That wallop was worth in the neighborhood of $250,000 to the Cubs, Tigers, railroads and De- troit inn-keepers, and it restored Klein to favor with Manager Charlie Grimm.
 Kleins hitting in the series con- vinced Grimm the former terror of Baker Bowl had .regained his sense of timing at the plate and was headed for better things.
 Just to prove his manager right in his conviction, Chuck has been pounding the cover off the ball in the Cubs training camp. He poled out four. home. runs in one prac- tice session. one of the long drives

WASHINGTON, March 16-Next to making good" himself, young Walter Johnson's fondest hope is that his pal, Leslie Butcher. will be "farmed out" by the Philadel- phia As to the same minor league club he is sent to this year.
 Both Johnson and Butcher were called south by Connie Mack to the As Fort Myer, Fla, training camp, for trial.
 They are about the same size and both are right-handed pitch CTS

SPORT SLANTS

Manager Mickey Cochrane, who peered through his mask at some high class pitching by his Detroit Tiger hurlers last season, has IS pitchers at his spring camp in Lakeland, Florida, with the hope that of that group one or two new corners will be good enough to add something to the tWirling that gave the Tigers the world championship in 1885.
 Cochrane, foreseeing m pr 0 we'd pitching all around the American League, is confident Chad Kimsey and Donald French will make strong bids to remain on the Tiger payroll after the opening game, April IT.
 Kimsey is a veteran rookie" He has been with the Browns and White Sox and is 30 years old. An operation on his arm helped him in 1885, when he won 16 games and lost but seven for Montreal. His speciality is sinking fast ball and Cochrane thinks he will be valuable as relief hurler, department in which the Tigers were weak last season.
 Another Submarine Hurler
 French comes from Mt. Pleasant, Mich, and last year was his second in professional baseball. He is righthander and pi c h es under hand. With Springfield in the Three-I League last season he won IS, lost seven.
 Cochrane expects Schoolboy Rowe to have as good year this season as he had in 1884, when he was a sensation. The long, ganglin g schoolboy improved in 1885 as the season progressed and Cochrane be- lieves Rowe is going to develop into one of the best hurlers of his time
