ers were arrested at sos pm. on
that Friday night, March %. They
were held incommunicado until
Monday morning, March rs,
when their case came up in Mu-
nicipal Judge Harold P. O'Con-
nell's Felony Court at 26th and
California. CHI rig e d with at
tempted grand larceny, their
case was dismissed without
trial.
I'm COURT" George Smith
said, 'the judge told the cops,
You better know what a mans
done before you arrest him."
But this wasn't the full story.
The whole truth began to emerge
as George Smiths brother, Willis,
26, of 442 w. Elm, and Fred
Sanders, "a, of 1130 N. Clybourn,
talked to the Star reporter at
Charles McCord's home.
Fred Sanders, who owns an
auto repair shop at 354 w. Oak,
said:
when the police arrested us.
they didn't fell us anything. They
just took US TO the Racine av.
station That's when they
started numbering US.
II WAS A STRANGER here
then. I heard about how they
pick people up off the streets
here But, when I got out of
jail, I learned how my wife had
been talked out of $500 Il
wouldn't have put up a penny,

benched him. Once more Babe
and Fuchs were at daggers'
points.
The Braves. then. were finan-
ciallY wobblY. If was clear that
Fuchs chiefly wanted Babe as an
angel" for the clubs weakened
strong box. He touted the club
as an investment 10 Babe and his
friends. Babe openly declared he
was too smart" for that trap.
Now they were biting in the
clinches. Ruth revealed that the
judge had ordered him to pep a
cheap promotion stunt at a Bos-
ton clothing store. All because its
proprietor had promised to buy
500 tickets to Braves Field! Lots
of things like that. Usin' me for
window dressing" Babe thun-
dered. And the fans believed
Babe.
WHEN the payoff flafeups oc-
Cured the Braves had hit the
league cellar. Fuchs told the
press that McKechnie blamed the
horrible showing on Ruth.
Babe barked he didn't believe
Fuchs. He claimed the magnate
had forced McKechnie to say it.
Babe pointed out that McKechnie
had personally absolved him of
blame and had repeated it to
newspapermen.
Finally. Ruth fatty charged
that Fuchs had deliberately
"double-crossed" him. II was gen.
orally felt that Ruth's blast had
to be proved false-or baseball
had been given a bullying black
eye. Babes challenge went un-
answered. He stood as being
"double-crossed" by the club.
The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1948-08-14

A TRIVIAL incident blew
baseball's most popular figure
into the shadows. Babe had been
invited to appear on a civic well
coming committee to meet the
Normandie, new Queen of the
Seas, in New York.
Boston had no league game
scheduled for that day. Anyhow,
Babe nursed an injured knee,
would have been unable to play.
But an exhibition game had been
scheduled for Haverhill, Mass.
Fuchs insisted Ruth go there;
Babe pointed for New York.
Fuchs claimed Ruth had been
fired and Babe insisted he had
resigned.
Ruth's departure from baseball
was unnecessary and a brutal
humiliation. But as usual with
Babe, twas dramatic. His big car
stood at the hotel door. A small
crowd had assembled awaiting a
bridal couple.
BABE suddenly appeared with
his wife-and Immediately the
bridal confetti showered on the
twol Babe waved his hands.
Someone asked what he was 60
ing to do and Babe said:
Il want to manage a major
club" And then. laughing: I'm
gonna play golf and some more
golf. I'm gonna play golf for the
rest of my life-and fish,"
1t was truer than he knew. The
magnates turned thumbs down on
him, the still mighty man whose
genius had once saved the game
tottering from the Black Sox
world series scandal. .F
Ruth was out for keeps.

Willis Smith then told the Star
reporter of the ''shake-down" in

well-known gangsters arranged
to ''get George and Fred off for
$500 each"-$60O altogether.

other case of "shake-down" and
police brutality.
Fred Hall, "a, of 905 N. Hud-

for double-parking on 18th st.,
July 6, was taken to the Maxwell
st. police station and brutally
beaten. A veteran, he spent near

cuperating. Fred faces a jury
trial, Aug. 81.
George Smith, Fred Sanders,
Fred Hall-this is the campaign
that faces u.s." Charles McCord,
the And Ward CRC chairman
told the Star reporter.
How many more cases there
are like this-right in this neigh
borhood. I don't know. We're
digging in for fight. but fell the
readers of The Star that this isn't
