NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-Babe Ruth

Of his recent serious operation at a
local hospital that he's beginning to
get impatient about the matter OF
being let out of the place, Mrs. Ruth
disclosed today.
"He's improving daily she said,
but as long as this cold weather
continues the doctors won't even
discuss letting him 60 home. They
feel there's too much danger OF
pneumonia. It takes q lot out OF a
person to be in bed as long as
he has"
The former home-run king has
been in the hospital nearly two
months. He was admitted November
26 for the announced treatment OF a
sinus condition." and was on the

many foreign countries, too," she
said. Letters and clippings from

In Mile Run Tonight
By tho Associated Press .

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. N.-Majo
1947 mile competition gets oil to a
fast start tonight with Rune Gus
tafsson, Sweden's ace distance run
ner, challenging the American
supremacy of Les MacMitchell.
The 27-year-old Swedish police
man will be making his first start
on a United States oval In the main
attraction-the mile-of the third
annual Philadelphia Inquirer invi-
tation track meet at Convention
Hall.
Tonights carnival tops week
end of big track doings. At West
Point, N. Y, tomorrow afternoon,
the United States Military Academy
plays host at its annual relays,
while in Boston-the same evening"
is the Massachusetts, Knights OF
Columbus meet.
All in all, about 1900 athletes
will participate-620 of them in the
Inquirer games alone.
The Inquirer mile will be Mac
Mitchell's first crack at that distance
this season. Les, running badly,
was fourth in the 1,000-meter race
at the Metropolitan AAU cham
pionships in New York last Satur-
day.
However, it was the New York
Athletic Club stars victory in last
years Inquirer event that started
him off on a string of six straight
mile victories and he's hoping to
use the Philadelphia mile as q
springboard again.
The two will be competing against
small but select field including
Bill Hulse, holder Of the American
Citizens record; Frank Dixon of
New York University and Gerry
Karver of Penn State.
Gustafsson, holder of the worlds
| ,000-meter record at 2:21.4, never
has competed on indoor boards and
has been experiencing some difficult
ty working out on the ovals. He said
last night, however, he was satisfied
with recent workouts and expects to
win the race.
Gustafsson's best time for the
mile is 4:046, on an outdoor track.
MacMitchell's best mark indoors is
4:078.
Following tonight's match, Gus
tafsson journeys to Boston to match
strides with Gil Dodds, world indoor
mile record holder, in the 1000.

Hoyas Regain Prestige
In Amazing Cage Win
Over Kentuckians

GEORGETOWN, which last night was
the best college basket ball team to
play here this year, re-entered the
scrap for local honors with a stun
ming 57-46 victory over Western
Kentucky State before slim crowd
of 1888 at Uline Arena.
Despite defeat at the hands OF
G.. W., the Hoyas are back In the
local picture with one game remain
ing with each G. w. and Maryland,
while the Terps and Colonials meet
each other.
Geogetown demonstrated 1t has
a basket ball team capable OF
reaching the heights predicted
in Coach Elmer Ripley's presea-
son oratory. The Hoyas were not
the Casper Milquetoasts of some OF
their past games. They were scrap
pers every second of the 40 minutes
and it was the role Of ball hawks
that enabled them to score one OF
the seasons major upsets.
Six Hoyas Stop Kentuckians.
Western kentucky State came here
with q nine-game winning streak
and eight men from the National
Invitation runnerup Of 1912, before
the players entered the service.
They took the floor, big squad OF
IA and most of them skyscrapers,
decked out in gaudy jackets, T-shirts
and jerseys. The crowd was awed
by their razzle-dazzle pre-game
passing and shooting-but not the
Hoyas.
Ripley used only six men and
Danny Kraus, Ray Corley and
Tommy OKeefe went all the way.
Ed Brembs was relieved for a few
minutes in the midst of his finest
performance of the season, while
Andy Kostecka and calm, but rug
ged, Ken Brown divided the center
assignment after Kostecka drew three
early fouls.
Brembs made eight of George
towns first 10 points and Kostecka
eight in row to break a 41-41 tie
for the outstanding scoring perform
ances, but as Ripley said in the
dressing room 1t was a team tri-
umph. O'Keefe, an obscure sub at
Notre Dame last year and at George
town until last week, looked great.
Kraus' passing and driving were
major factors.
The Kentuckians did not use their
superior height to advantage and
were outplayed at every angle.
Sleepy" Spears was their best and
probably the best ball player to ap-
pear here this year, as his 24-point
total will allow.
The Georgetown Bs remained ur1-
defeated by beating the Quantico
Reserves by a similar score, 57-46.

Newhouser May Rival
FeI|er's 1947 Salary;
Hal Still Is Unsigned
By the Associated Press

DETROIT, Jan. 24.-Hal New
houser, steady left-handed pitching
ace of the Detroit Tigers, isn't ex-
actly in a jealous stew after reading
of the choice attendance-bonus con-
tract that may hoist the earnings OF
his No. American League mound
rival, Bob Feller Of the Cleveland
Indians, to $4,000 for 1947.
Newhouser, the former hot-tem-
pered blond who since 1943 hasn't
failed to win at least rs games a
season for the Tigers, doesn't figure
he'll wind up so far behind the
Cleveland fireballer in the l947 sal
ary derby at that. e~, 49,
Don't feel sorry for me-" said the
25-year-old southpaw who led the
American League in strikeouts two
years while Feller was in the Navy.
IT had bonus clause based on at
tendance in my 1916 contract with
the Tigers, too"
How Halls bonus clause compared
with the one written into Feller's
contract this week the Detroit
3southpaw wasn't at liberty to say
but Feller's 1947 terms are report
edly figured on a base salary OF
$4,000, which isn't far ahead o1
the $42,5OO salary Newhouser is be-
leved to have earned for winning
26 games (the same as Feller) and
losing nine in 1896.
I'm not worrying about trying to
match Feller's pay check" New
houser declared, "but maybe you'd
be surprised how they really COM
pare"
Newhouser, who received the
Tigers first 1947 offer in the mail a
week ago, said he's mot entirely
satisfied with It," but hasn't yet
conferred with the Detroit's Vice
President Billy Evans. q
Both Newhouser and Evans have
expressed belief they would have
little difficulty getting together on
terms.

friendly rivalry of the mound, may
