Authors Ruth And
DurOcher Fail To
Agree On 1888 Spat
By Jim Becker

AP Newsfeatures Sports Writer
NEW YORK-Babe Ruth and Leo
Durocher disagree over a disagree
ment.
One of several spats between
Ruth, baseball's idol, and Duroch-
er, its bad boy" occurred in 1888
when Ruth came out of retirement
to coach the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Durocher was captain of the team
under Manager Burleigh Grimes.
Both Babe and Leo have written
autobiographies recently and their
descriptions Of the 1888 incident
vary considerably.
Ruth's version, as might be ex-
pected, is much shorter than the
tlong-winded Leo's. It makes no
mentions of fisticuffs, just loud
talk. Durocher, in "The Dodgers
and Me-" has the Brooklyn man
ager and Ruth scuffling in the club
house-and Ruth emerging with a
mouse under his eye.
AS background for the story, in
''The Babe Ruth Story" the homer
hero says Larry MacPhail, then
Dodger boss, Offered and paid me
$4,000"
Durocher disagrees. He says
Ruth asked $4,000 and settled fol
$4,000 after he and MacPhail haC
argued back and forth"
81 was fifth wheel and I knew
it," the Babe says, "but / tried no
to let it bother me-" Then he tells
the story of the scrap in this para
graph:
AS for Leo and myself, we didn'
| get along nearly as well as we haC
when I was a big shot on th'
Yanks. One day he loudly accused
me of missing a signal and 1 JUS
as loudly told him he was nuts
We had trouble speaking after tha
! and when it was announced afte
the 1888 season that Leo had beel
named manager, knew I wOuldn'
return to the Dodgers"
Enter Leo with his version o
the 1888 events:
The Dodgers were doing badl
when, one day, MacPhail stunne
! Leo with this terse statement:
"How do you think Babe Rut
) would go on this club?" Durocher'

Il couldn't have been more sur

er, eff he had asked me about ex-
huming Abner Doubleday. Every
body knew Ruth was through" But
MacPhail made it clear he wanted
Ruth as a coach and asked Don't
you think he would get the fans in
here?"
Leo says he admitted Ruth would
draw even "if he was carried in by
rickshaw." So the Babe was hir-
ed.
The night the contract was sign
ed in MacPhail's apartment, ac-
cording to Leo, the Babe drew Du-
rocher in to another room and
vowed:
"I'll be boss around here before
too long"
Durocher says he didn't like that
because he was loyal to Grimes and
besides if Burleigh was to be re-
placed Leo wanted the job. 81

scrap right the nand there" says
Leo, "but it blew over" This next
one didn't.
During a game, DurOcher anC
Harry Lavagetto worked a private
hit-and-run play to score the win
ming run. A reporter asked if Rutl
had flashed the hit-and-run signal
Durocher said no. The writer the1
wrote that Ruth was about as use
full as a wooden Indian as a coach
Ruth was bitter about that.
Next day, Ruth said, "DurOcheI

Safety Council Notes

Delaware teachers will be say
ing goodbye" to their pupils
within the next few days. For the
next three months, children will be
enjoying their annual summer va
cations. Boys and girls will be-
spending many hours each day out
doors. Therefore, the Delaware
Safety Council urges those who
drive automobiles and trucks to
exercise more than ordinary eau
tion, because drivers hold within
their grasp the power to infict
serious injury and death.
Not only will school children be
outdoors more OF the day during
the summer months but tiny tots of
pre-school age will be out playing
with the other children. Motorists
backing out of private driveways
must be on guard for children on
the sidewalks.
Now that summer vacations are
beginning, it is wise to remind our
selves that the sign caution =
school zone" has not lost its mean
ing. 1t should have even greater
significance in summer, because
more hours Of play mean more
hours of exposure to ttraf1c dan
gers.
Many children return to school
grounds to play tennis, baseball
and engage in other sports. Many
will take advantage of Fairgrounds
located near schools or in parks.
Many who do not have such areas
near their homes will play in va
cant lots or in their own yards or
in the streets. Older children must
watch out for those younger than
themselves.
Frequently, children dash into
the roadway after the playmate or
a ball. Teachers and parents both
may have reminded youngsters nu-
merous times to be watchful, but
in the excitement and eagerness OF
action, quick and thoughtless be-
havior may result.
We, who drive, must be on the
alert. We must do more than keeT
within the law as we drive oul
cars. We must keep our cars il
the best possible operating condi
ton. We cannot depend upon lucl
of the nimble feet of children tt
prevent accidents. If we fail, some
boys and girls will not be back il
school next September.

Indians Take A Leaf
From The Pay Book
HPNczvsfeafureS

CHICAGO-Indians of the cen
trail Andes sometimes receive part
of their wages in leaves.
The DeslOge Peruvian Botanical
Expedition of the Chicago Natural
History Museum, returning after
studying cultivated plants in the
valleys of Peru, reports that the
cocaine plant is grown in terraced
valleys about 5000 feet above sea
level. The Indians pick the leaves
by hand, pressing them into bales
for shipment. The custom of chew
ing cocoa leaves is so common
said DR.. Hugh C. Cutler, Curator OF
Economic Botany at the Museum
that most haciendas pay part of an
Indians wages in cocoa leaves.
An alkah, usually ashes or lime
mixed with clay, is added to the
quid, for without it there is little
effect. Members of the expedition
report that this practice is similar
to the use of ashes or lime witt
betel nut in the western Pacific Is
lands.

farmers Are Urged
10 Order Trees Now

Noble county farmers should
place their orders for trees now,
if they want to~be sure of getting
any from the state forest nursery
at Wooster, according to Agent
Floyd Henderson.
Demands for trees at the state
nursery have grown so large that
all orders cannot be filled.
An agreement has been made
with County Agent Henderson
and the state nursery to hold a
specified number for distribution
in Noble county. Trees not or
dered by Jan. / will be released
for other communities.
1t is important that farmers
who want trees for reforestation
purposes place their orders inn
mediately. Blanks are on file at
the county agents office.
Red and white pine, walnut, To-
Gust and white oak trees are
available. The cost of these trees
varies from SIS to $40 per thous-
and.

Veterans drawing readjustment

Caldwell, Ohio
Dear Editor,
I am disabled veteran from
World War / and a member of
the Victorville, California Post,
My great great grandfather, Will
liam Jacobs, a Revolutionary
soldier, is buried not far from
Caldwell. l have written the
State Regent of the Ohio OAR
about finding his grave and
placing some kind of marker on
it. She advises me that the Am
erican Legion has taken this
work off their hands now.
Here are a few facts regarding
this Revolutionary soldier He
enlisted from Frederick, Mary
land. During the seige of Fort
Washington, near New York
City, he marched thirty miles
and in the face of almost certain
death volunteered for it's de-
fense. He was captured, along
with the famous woman patriot,
Molly Pitcher. After getting
back from his capture he again
volunteered and served to the
end of the war. He was a patriot
if there ever was one.
| He died June 3, 1886. At the
time of his death here is the
description of the farm he own
ed: Southeast quarter of the
northeast quarter of section 80,
township 6, range 8. This is in
Olive township and I take it he
would have been buried at the
nearest cemetery to that place.
His wife had been buried there
two years before his death.
| was there a year ago last
May trying to locate his grave. 1t
was SO awful cold and rainy and
with my frail health I got sick
from getting awful wet looking
in grave yards. and had to give it
up. l had an idea he is buried in
what is called the Tilton GEM
etery between Three Forks and
, Keith. l talked with some men
at roadside garage near Three
Forks and one man seemed to
think he knew where he was
buried. Had the weather been
more mild | am pretty sure I
could have located his grave.
hope l. can interest you in
this undertaking. l believe some
one would come forward that
knows about the grave of this
soldier. I know Of a case where
this was done and a man came
forward and told how his father
knew of an old man that used
to put a flag on a grave every
Fourth of July. Through this the
soldiers grave was identified.
Shortly after this William
Jacobs died, his family nearly all
moved to Livingston county,
| Missouri. But he had daughter,
Catherine Jacobs, who married
Aaron Sprague. They lived in
that vicinity and he was large
landowner. Another daughter,
Elizabeth, married Paul Coff-
man. They also lived near there.
I am sure there are many of
these descendants living around
there now.
will appreciate any sugges-
tions from you. I think it a fine
service if this good soldier could
have his grave marked and hon.
ored. My income is small, but
would like to contribute to any
expense about this.
Sure will thank you.
