URGE BABE RUTH'S
BASE BALL RETURN
Sentiment Is Strong at Big
Banquet of Scriveners.
Bam Steals Show.
BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

n YEW YORK, February st ap-
M peared today, in the wake Of
" the New York base ball writ
4 ers' annual frolic, that fresh
impetus had been given to the idea, at
least, of restoring Babe Ruth to spot
in major league base ball.
Whether the unlocking club owners
developed any new thoughts on the
subject remains to be seen. Their at
titude is doubtful, but they hardly can
have any doubts about the Babes con-
tinued popularity, after observing the
spontaneous tribute to the one-time
home-run king last night by a record
gathering of 900 at the scribes' four
teenth annual dinner.
Babe Has No Regrets.
u UTH. celebrating his forty-second
birth anniversary with the aid Of
the writers, virtually stole the show.
The Babe gave a Commute speech
that indicated his longing to re-enter
the base ball picture he left nearly
two years ago, and with character
.istic touch of Ruthian oratory sum-
med up as follows:
''I gave the best years of my life,
% Of them, to the big leagues, but
just when it seemed to me was at
the top, why, was dumped out.
Base balls my game I don't know
what I would do without golf now,
but my life always has been devoted
to base ball. I would be yelling to
give the next 25 years to the game,
even If it killed me.
"I have no regrets for what I've
done. I've got to admit base ball has
been fair to me and that Col. Rupert,
in particular, always has been by best
friend. He must have been, because
he has made it possible for me to stay
of the relief rolls"
Evening star., 1937-02-08

should be his best fighting age.
There were a lot of excuses made
for Joe's poor showing. But I don't
like fighters for whom you have to
make excuses. Either a fellow can
fight, and DOES. like a champion. or
else he just isn't there when it comes
to the test.
From this exhibition its looks to
me as if Joe Louis has come to a
realization that maybe he has sort
of a glass Jaw" for he certainly
acted as If he were afraid to get
smack on it the other night.
Bomber Is Cautious.
THAT'S the only way you can ex-
- plain the cautious tactics of
hnan weighing about 25 pounds more
than his opponent, much bigger and
stronger in every way, and much more
experienced.
Pastor weighed 179 pounds, only 4
bounds over the light-heavyweight
limit, while Louis scaled in at 203A
pounds The little fellow was in there
to stay, and quite naturally he took
1t on the lam most of the time.
But in those earlier rounds the lit
tie fellow stood feinting and threat
ening, and the much bigger Joe Louis
stood and tented with him, now and
then throwing up a quick, nervous
guard to ward off clout that Pastor
never even intended to toss.
To me the fight-well, maybe "ex-
hibition" would be a better word
proved that Louis lacks speed, other
wise he would have been able to catch
Pastor and land at least one of those
much-touted wallops. And if Joe
can hit so hard, one would have been
enough to slow Mr.. Pastor down to
q walk.

An Ovation From the Heart.

IT WAS quite different when Bob
came out to the first tee. He sud-
denly came through the gate and
stepped into the presence of 5000
Scots who in some way or another
had heard he was to play. He also
stepped into the middle of one of
those ovations that few people ever
get when it comes to such complete
sincerity it never can be mistaken.
Bobby Jones was Blackjack at st.
Andrew's-back on the old course after
six long years!
IF we had only known a day
in advance" one Of them said,
"we'd have had $4,000 here to-
day. They would have walked
in from a hundred miles away"
And they would.
Even as it was, Bob had a bigger
crowd at st. Andrews than either the
open or the amateur attracted on any
one day. For this reason-golf is the
life blood of st. Andrews, and Bobby
Jones to those Scots is the king Of
golf still. "He should be King of Scot
land" one of them told me. That's
where he belongs"

Paw Tribute to Ruth.

TRIBUTES to Ruth's achievements
and place in the games history
came from Postmaster General Farley,
former Mayor James j. Walker and
others. Haywood Broun, former base
ball writer and now a columnist for
the World Telegram, added:
Its silly for the club owners not
to find a place for Ruth somewhere.
Things haven't been the same in base
ball since he was forced out"
Ruth shared the evenings honors
with two other veteran players, Tony
Lazzeri of the Yankees and Travis
Jackson, who closed his carer with the
Giants last season. Lazzeri was
awarded the New York chapters
"player-o -the-year" trophy. Jackson
received another award, the meri-
torious service over a period of years.

THE wOODCHUCk'S own DAY

The American woodchuck. other
wise known as the grounding. is
under ordinary circumstances a
quite inconspicuous little critter.
City folks would not know him by
sight if they met him.
On the second days of February
according to ancient tradition. the
woodchuck comes out of his hole.
If he fails to see his shadow out
lined in the crisp sunlight. he de-
cides the winter is gone. and begins
to plan his spring operations. So
he has his brief day of glory in which
newspapers feature his portrait.
Some old-fashioned folks attach
weight to his weather forecast.
Out in the farm districts. the
woodchuck is an all too familiar fig
ure. AS he grows fat. the gardens
grow lean. as they minister to his
voracious appetite. There has long
been war between the farm boy and
his dogs on one hand, and the wood
chucks on the other. 1t is not clear
which was the winner on the latest
returns.
