BUDE Will TO ■ TOT tOMEBBCK Yankee Slugger Starts Arduous Training For 1934 Season New York. Jan. 3 (U.P> Bub<Ruth Warted training today for the biggest fight nf his glamorous career, an attempt to wrest from j father time, one more creditable season of big time baseball before quitting probably to become manager of the New York Yankees in j 1935. The all-time hjimc run king e i first training was a public work out a' Artie McGovern's gymnasium for the benefit of writers, photographers and the like. Despite demands of radio and other activities. Babe hopes to exercise daily at the gymnasium until mid-Febriiary, when he goes to St. Petersburg. Fla . the Yanks training camp. He will golf and fisli until tile rest of the Ruppert men arrive. The great man will celebrate! his P*th birthday in New York Fell. 7. Friends are worried over his prospects for 1934. lie faded considerably last year. Many ot his 137 games were not completed: lie suffered a couple of bad balling slumps and was benched temporarily for the first time in. his career for weak hitting. Ruth now is heavier than ever before. His barrel-like body dipends upon spindly legs for loco motion. Forty years is old ago for a man to be scampering ■ about the bases in fast company It's a particularly tough assignment for anyone built like Ruth. The Babe is vhtiially certain to star f t lie season as a regular but will have his $52,000 salarv pared down. With good luck he may play a maximum of 110 contests i.a the 152-game schedule. If he weakens during the season he probably will be reserved for pinch-hitting. DASKOAWI. Decatur fans are in for some good basketball this coming week-1 end.
