BABE RUTH IS GIVEN RELEASE BY BOSTON NINE ■ Baseball’s Most Famous Player Reaches End Os Active Career - Boston, June 3. — tU.R) — The mighty Babe Ruth had reached the end of the basebal Itrail as an active player today. He was cut adrift by the Braves a few hours after he had announced his intention of quitting because of differences with Judge Emil Fuchs, club president. Babe today hastily prepared to go to New York to ‘ look around for a job in baseball." The great slugger's swan song was a tragic tune. Nursing an injured knee, he asked permission to attend a celebration aboard the liner Normandie in New York tomorrow night. The answer was "nothing doing." After yesterday’s game between the Braves and Giants here, Ru h summoned newspapermen to the clubhouse and told them of his decision to quit. Ruth characterized Judge Fuchs a "double crosser.” Judge Fuchs' answer was that Babe was not a “good soldier" and resented not receiving extra privileges. Ruth's retirement from active' play has been impending for sev-' eral weeks. On May 12, after a troublesome day in the field and at bat against the Chicago Cubs here, Ruth came off the field and 1 said in a voice loud enough to be heard in the stands: "That is the last inning of baseball I'll ever play." He was prevailed upon to make one swing around the western cir-. cuit before definitely making up i his mind to quit. For one brief af-| ternoon in Pittsburgh, May 25, 1 Ruth's mighty mace regained its magical touch

runs in three consecutive times at bat. In his brief National league career Ruth hit six home runs, but i he was a pitiful figure in the outI field and showed only a brief flash i of his former power at the plate, i Word went around the circuit that ftuth couldn’t hit a low curve iu- | side some said he couldn’t even | see one down there —and pitchers were working on him for the first I time in his carreer. Despite Ruth's bitterness toward Judge Fuchs he parted friends with I Bill McKechnie, Braves’ manager, whose job he was supposed to inherit in line wi h the contract he made with the Boston club. • Bill is a great fellow,” Ruth commented. “We got along fine. It was all the bunk about me trying to get his job. I never had any trouble with anybody except ! Fuchs.” LOCAL GOLFERS BEAT PORTLAND Decatur Scores 31-12 \ ictory On Local Course Sunday The Decatur golfers swamped a Portland team under a 31-12 score here Sunday afternoon Don Koos shot the low score with rounds of; 40 and 3S for a 78 total.

BUSINESS RULE MUST CONTINUE’ Father Coughlin Asserts Federal Regulation Is Essential Detroit. June 3.— (U.R)—Despite the recent supreme court ruling declaring the NRA unconstitutional, federal regulation of business and industry "Is essential and must continue,’’ Father Charles E. Coughlin said in his regular Sunday address last night. Such supervision, he added, is made necessary "by the ever present existence of that minority of wage cutters, price cutters and chislers. "Previous to thef dawn of the new deal legislative measures had been passed to enable the rugged individualists to amass wealth when and how they pleased and to protect their ill-gotten gains. 1? was the business of government to protect business but to keep its hands off business," he said. "The new system set out to establish social justice and aimed at marking the limits below which the citizen must not fall in the economic order. Reconstruction of the social order as the philosophy of the new deal as it set out to solve the problem of distribution. "Though it appear as a paradox I am more optimistic now tha,n | ever as to the final outcome of the new deal. Events of the past week will result in consolidating the broken ranks of new dealers. All is not lost but rather all is about to be gained. "The bourbons cry that the new deal has served Its purpose and the old deal must be restored. In a snarling, sneering attitude they gibe at Roosevelt and are happy in his discomfiture, blind to the inevitable realities they face bloody revolution if the bloodless revolution cannot succeed." There is no need to become "unduly upset,” the priest added, “now that the supreme court has declared illegitimate the NRA—a child left on the doorsteps of America by the U. S. Chamber of Commerce. "There is away to salvage the new r deal—tho only way which now remains. Congress can and must enforce regulation of business—by the simple means of re-defining the nature of intra-state commerce, thus rendering in-operative the subterfuges of modern corporations organized to evade federal jurisdiction,” he said. “The NRA was declared unconstitutional —in part — because the federal government interfered with intra-state business. Big business does not want such interference as they know it would halt and impeded profit making.” o Commissioners In Monthly Meeting The Adams county commissioners' court this morning in their regular monthly meeting allowed bills against the county. This afternoon the members discussed several matters pertaining to ditches and roads In need of repair. Later this afternoon they planned to examine several ditches. It was announced Chat the work of installing a new heating plant at the county infirmary will prob-' ably begin as soon as all the materials are shipped here. The con-! tract for the new equipment, which! includes two boilers, was awarded | to Liechty Brothers of Berne for i 13,189. The court will be in session I again Tuesday. Among the business to be taken up then will be | the consideration of several additional applications for old age pensions. o to Save Deer Sa.ran|nto, Cal., —kUP) — A grav« problem in the preservation of California’s d er caused the legislature to (pass u hiw providing for experimental feeding in the northern part of the state.
