Aug 24.—< UP)—Babe Ruth swung with all hi* pewer. his bat met the ball, and it sailed toward the distant right-field stand*. The 47-year-old bambino never tookui to see where Ihe ball went. A* soon as he felt the decisive thud of ash against horsehide, he started to run —not trot - and he ran around the bases there In the same Yankee stadium that his booming bat helped to build back In 1923 A* Ruth ran the bases, the ball that be hit so hard swerved outside th® white pole and landed in foul territory. It fell I ntbe upper right fiel dstands—a foul—by the margin of six scant feet. But Ruth kept running the bases for a homer, and when he wound up at the dugout, perspiring like a human shower, everyone congratulated him just ao if be had achieved one lof his greatest bomers of 1937— the year he blasted 60 and set an all time record for four-baggers in one season. Walter Johnson, the big train who at 55 had come out of retirement to pitch to Ruth In thia historic exhibition before 69.136 fans at the Beators-Yankees doubleheader. looked askance at Ruth s foul borne run." and then meandered In from the mound. Jc boson, who ha dallowed Ruth only 16 home runs in the 14 seasons they opposed each other, was touched for a bona fide run on his nfth pitch When the bambino sent a iMty drive sailing Into the lower right Bold stand*. Ruth waan't satlsßed with that. He didn't conaider (hat home run well hit-and he wanted to show the young players on the Yanka, and the younger generation of spert* fans what a real home ru is like.

Ruth, the all-time home run king and baseball's greatest showman, shrugged off hi* first homer Into the lower stand*, and didn't even trot around the bas«*<. But when he got the feel of that foul “homer" on his last swing, he knew It wan well hit. and started running. On this particular blow, Ruth didn’t trot as one usually does In case of a home run. Instead, he put hi* | head down and started to eprint—with all the speed that the muffinfaced. barrel-bodied, spindly-legged old-timer could achieve. And the huge crowd who had contributed 885,01)0 to service relief funds- - ■ didn't know and didn't care If the final wallop had gone fair or foul as It bellowed approval. In the dressing room. Ruth sat i on a rubbing table and said. “I never looked to see where that ball | went I knew it was the first ball 11 hit properly, and I started running. 1 knew It wa« hit for a home run. My hands told me that —particularly my left hand, which is so swollen between the thumb and forefinger that I couldn't have hit many more.” The demonstration of Ruth's prowess was staged between games In yesterday's doublebeader between the Yanks and Senator*.

Ruth entftused. "The old bustard threw a curve once, and I almost broke myself In two, swinging a tit. He was referring to the big train's 16th pitch on which he whirled to a foul tip. Ruth's towering fouj "homer" gave him such a kick that he said.
