PRETTY TRICKY
 Babe craved to be manager when his playing days were over in 1885. The Tanks turned him down with an unconditional release. Ruth caught on with the Boston Braves and got impaled on a tricky propo- sitiOn. Braves headman, Judge Fuchs, grabbed Babe for ''assistant manager, player and vice proxy" " Mostly mouth promises and mostly double talk. Most of all his promise that he'd install Babe as manager in '36.
 Ruth told Fuchs he was through as a player Mainly, he wanted to work as assistant manager to Bill McKech- nie. He played irregu1arly and poorly for several weeks. Fuchs scowled. Then Babe and the judge clashed, and that was the beginning of the end.
 One Pittsburgh day, though, wheezy Ruth's ancient power flashed for the last time Three homers in one game !! But now an injury, suffered shortly after, benohed him. Once more Babe and Fuchs were at daggers' points.
 The Braves, then, were financial ly wobbly. It was clear that Fuchs chiefly wanted Babe as an ''angel' for the clubs weakened strong box. He touted the club as an investment to Babe and his friends. Babe open ly declared he was ''to smart'' for that trap.
 Now they were biting in the clinches. Ruth revealed that the judge had ordered him to pep cheap promotion stunt at Boston clothing store. All because its proprietor had promised to buy 500 tickets to Braves Field 'Lots of things like that. Usin' me for win dow dressing" Babe thundered. And the fans believed Babe
 When the payof hareups occurred the Braves had hit the league cellar. Fuchs told the press that McKechnie blamed the horrible showing on Ruth. Babe parked he didn't believe Fuchs. He claimed the magnate had forced McKechnie to say it. Babe pointed out that McKechnie had personally ab- solved him of blame and had repeated it to neWspapermen.
 Finally, Ruth fiatly charged that Fuchs had deliberately double crossed'' him. It was generally felt that Ruth's blast had to be proved false-Or baseball had been given bulging black eye. Babes chal- lenge went unanswered. He stood as being "double-crossed'' by the club.

ssGetcher ice-cold lemonade here, only Zc a glass;" shrieked Little Luther from behind the little stand beneath the shady elm on the street in front Of his house.

 '.Getcner cool, refreshing, ice- cold lemonade here, Pop, only Zc a glass; yelled Luther, protes- siOnally.
 MT. DilwOrth stuck his forefnger in the wasntub, removed it, licked it and rOared: Just as 1 thought! Real lemons! Luther, you'll never succeed. What have 1 done to de- serve a son like this! Here l come home after learning my business has fallen oil to practically nothing and hnd my own flesh and blood peddling actual lemonade for only zc glass!"
 ''What are you beefing about, POp!" inquired Luther. What do you expect to find in lemonade cauIitiower?"
 Luther, l wash my hands of you. ann ashamed to have to call you my son. You do your own work. You put real lemons in the lemon ade. You charge only 2c. Your glasses are clean. You have ice in the washtub. You call the drink lemonade instead of a catchy trade name. You probably bought the lemons, sugar and ice, instead of stealing them from the kitchen. Luther. I'm ashamed
 ''Okay, Pop," said Luther, ''from this moment my business methods change"
 He took glass, filled it almost to the top with plain water and then added a few drops of his original mixture. 'sCetcher ice-cold liquid frostbite here! Coldest drink south of the Arctic circle! No other drink can make that statement! 1t crunch es as it goes down! Cetcher liquid Frostbite here, only l5c the large. economy-size glass!"
 Mir. Dilworth beamed. He patted Luther on the head. He took an empty glass. He dipped it into the lemonade tub and filled it. He raised it to his lips. He drank. The precipitation dried on his brow. He walked away.
 ''Hey, Pop! What about my l5c?" yelled Luther.
 Luther! Watch your language! How dare you ask your own father for money after he has just set you on the road to glorious career in Free Enterprise?" said MT. Di worth, purple.
