BABE ANXIOUS TO BOSS TANKS
 AT ANY PRICE
BY ROBERT DEINDORFER United Press Staff Correspondent

BY ROBERT DElNDORFER
 United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Aug. 2-UP)-Presi- dent Larry MacPhail of the New York Yankees, who likes colorfu1sas- sociates whenever possible, can sign the most colorful player in baseball history to manage his baseball team at any salary he cares to pay, it was learned today.
 Babe Ruth and color have gone together like mustard and hot dogs, which, by the way, was one ofasthe Babes favorite dishes while he belt ed his way to all-time Major League home run records. The Babe. who admitted passing up a chance to manage the Newark farm team in the International League after re- tiring from play, was wistful today when he spoke of his hopes for a big-league job.
 "If there is possible chance for me to manage the Tanks, I'd love to get it." the clown faced star said. If I'm no good at the job I'd leave it, and what's more I'd take any sal- ary they gave. The money doesn't matter. only want chance"
 That Ruth has been hoping for managerial job has become we'll known during recent years. He is without managerial experience, but other coaches ard managers have jumped into the big time without it. Mel Ott of the Giants. Lou Boudreau of Cleveland and Charley Grimm of the Chicago Cubs all were trans formed from player to manager by the stroke of fountain pen. MacPhail would neither confirm nor deny reports that there wa, something to the unofficial talk that. Ruth might get some kind of posi- tion with the team.
 "Joe Mccarthy still is manager of the New York Yankees" the usual- ly loquacious Tank boss said, and he did not enlarge on that.
 Although Mccarthy is under con- tract through the 1946 season, New York baseball people were split on the question of whether he would re- turn from his farm or not. At pres- ent Mccarthy is resting. under doc-' tors orders, and he has not indicat- ed when or if he will come back to- the team he managed to eight league, | flags.
 That big, clustering Babe would. draw crowds brings no arguments.
 Whenever the games greatest slugger visits ball park or walks the street all action stops while both young and old gather for autographs and handshakes. His popularity has not decreased The sight of Ruth walking out of Yankee Stadium with string of wide-eyed kids follow ing him is familiar one to eastern fans.
 T think the fans would like to see me get the chance to manage a team',' Ruth said with sigh. I'd like to keep behind the kids who like me and I'd do my best for the team"
 When quizzed on what changes he might make were he manager of the Yanks, Ruth answered that that was getting too far ahead of things. He did say, however, that coach Art Fletcher, who has handled the team in McCarthy's absence, certainly would remain.
 q have a lot of ideas that would have to be tried out, of course,' the sultan of swat said. And I'd just like a chance to try them-with my old team, the Tanks"

Jockey Sold Like a Slave

Boston, Aug. 2.-UP)-Alonzo (Pat) Patterson, IT, the Texas jockey who a judge said apparently was a victim of involuntary servi- tude," was expected to return to the witness stand today in the hear ing on his contract dispute with Boston stable owner Paul Andolino.
 Testifying in equity before Supe- rior Judge Frank J. Donahue, Pat terson charged Andolino forbid him to ride at Suffolk Downs race track and ordered him to work out the remaining two years Of his contract as a stable poy.
 The slim blond youth from Long, view and Port Arthur, Tex, told Judge Donahue yesterday that Jo- seph A. Murphy. Suffolk Downs steward, told him he was lucky to be able to ride at all"
 Tossed Around
 He testified that his apprentice contract had been sold to Andolino without his knowledge and that it had been sold three times and leased once since it was signed at New Orleans, La., in 1914.
 When he appealed to the steward because he was not "done right by in the contract" Patterson said, Judge Murphy told me was lucky to be able to ride at all. So I went to work for Andolino."
 The jockey has been granted a temporary injunction restraining Andolino from interfering with his riding, and when he sought simi- lar order against the Massachusetts state racing commission, Judge Donahue said:
 This looks to me like involuntary servitude (he) has been sold three or four times like a slave"

The Eagles looked like a million dollars beating the powerful Italian club last Sunday as Gerry Flood, the New Britain schoolmaster, was com- plete master of the situation. No other pitcher in the loop has as much confidence in himself when the chips are down,
 Holding an array comprised of Hap Heffernan, Boots Jarvis, Joe Rinaldi, and Yosh Kinel to five hits Is . real accomplishment. Flood eonfides that "the Tribes can. be had. too"
 The Brooklyns had a field day at the expense of Joe Bruno's Branford rownies. Everyone got a hit but Mgr. Bill Magro. and Bill might have gotten one too if he had the opportunity.
 Rourke, the shortstop whom the league managers surprisingly enough allowed the Eagles to use in spite of the fact that the rules were against it. proved an impor- Enl,t factor in the downfall of the defending champs. He handled five chances without a riiscue and scored two runs.

made clear when the ONCE of De-

rail travel restrictions. But it was
emphasized there is no invitation
to travel-merely no appeal not to

soon will be coming off the as

added to fare reductions made in
recent months will make it possible
for air transportation again to offer
the vacation traveller an opportunity
of reaching his favorite holiday
spot at rates comparable to first
class rail fares plus Pullman ac-
commodations.
Under present flying time, which
will be speeded up, it is possible for
the traveller to reach a selected
resort with the assurance he can
spend the major part of his time
there.
