BABE RUTH TO MANAGE BRAVES Baseball’s Leading Star Says He’ll Be Boston Boss In 1936 New York. Feb. 28.- -(U.R) —Babe Ruth's announcement that he will manage the Boston Braves in 1936 today brought u fresh burst of the ■ conjecture centering on him since the close of the 1934 campaign, which left him wobbling on his last baseball egs. His open attempt to take Joe l McCarthy’* job as manager of the 1 1 Yankees was one of the reasons ! for the New York club's disposal of him free of charge, and eagerI Possible dissension was fore- ; stalled with a couple of pen ' strokes. I Now Bill McKechnie, manager of the Braves, popular, experienced and generally regarded as one of the ablest pilots in baseball, finds himself retained for a year to groom the Rabe for the job he I previously was slated to hold as ; long as he wanted it. As asistant manager of the Braves, the Babe will have the right to help the club. As vicepresident he can tack himself up. The expected solution seems to be that McKechnie will be made general manager next season, with his duties split between the play- j ing field and front office. The Babe's announcement yes- I terday that he would become manager would be a development Into . reality for 1936 of one of many , fanciful predictions made during < the mid-winter baseball meetings > in December. I At St. Petersburg, McKechnie < said he knew of no plans to take 1 his job away from him. He re- 1 peated that he was sure of one f thing: I "No club can stand two manag- i ers. Any time I think Ruth can ’ do a better job I'm ready to resign." At Boston. Judge Emil Fuchs, I ( president of the Braves, and Char- 5 les F. Adams, vice president, de- 0 dined to comment beyond saying ; that the letter written to Ruth and c made public when he signed with t the Braves Tuesday "is very ex- n plicit, frank and unmistakably ; clear. It has the full understand- p ing of McKechnie, Babe Ruth anil y the Braves’ management, and we ] all work in harmony with this y spirit." | The letter referred to s-aid there
