| Today's Sport Parade | Sy Oscar Fraley I (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) I 0 O New York. June 14 —(UP) —Rabe Ruth's famed number "3” uniform went into baseball's hall of fame today after a hit of nostalgic makebelieve which tore a tattered page out of the diamond * storied past and for a moment almost made it modern. It was the silver anniversary of Yankee Stadium and the ball club can be proud of those 25 candles For out of the dugout and out of the year* -came striding manv rtars of that 1923 team to bask once again in the adulation of the crowd. Jumping Joe Dugan . . . Whitey Witt . . . Sad Sam Jone* . . . Wally Pipp . . . Bullet Jo* Bush . . . Wiley Moore . . . Waite Hoyt . . . Boh Shawkey , . . and Wally' Schang. And there was Mike McNally . . . Friddie Hoffman . . . Tom Zachary . . . Elmer Smith . . . Cart May* . . . Bob Mouse) . . . Hinky Haynes . . . and George Pipgrass. The Johnnles-come-lately crowded in. too. These Included lied Rolfe. Bump Hadley. Sammy Byrd. George Selkirk. Myril Hoag Ernie Bonham Oscar Koettger. Pat Col Uns, Jake Powell. Gomez. Bill Dickey and Mark Koenig. And then came the Babe, striding out last of all and walking up to the plate on those pipe-stem ankle* to swing at the plate as he had 25 years before. He never got a finer reception, even in the day* when he wa* the king of clout. It was a roar that sounded a* if they were trying to tear down the house that Ruth built. It took them ail back a long way. \ moment before they had been a disorganized bunch of men. some fat and some scrawny, some whitehaired and other* bald. But now they stood up straighter, under that vocal Injection, and once .again you were looking st a line of ball fHayers who would bring 81.000.000 ready dollar* in their prime And It sounded like a hymn when the 50.000 fans sent the •train* of Auld Lang Syne swell ing out of th* ballpark. They shuffled their feet a Mt awkwardly when Will Harridge. the American league president, declared that Babe's number was retired forever from Yankee flannels and destined for the bsseba" museum It will rest beside hit glove, shoes snd »he bat with which he belted hl* record 60th home run in 1927. But they became all attention when the Babe, recovering from a recent critical ilfness. stepped to the mike and cleared his throat. "It makes me happy to see my old teammates." he said in a harsh and husky voice which was barely intelligible “And Um proud to be the man who hit the first home run in this park." From the crowd's reaction you knew the Babe had hit another the last time ho ever was to wear that "3" In this or any st.tduim. ft seemed, somehow, very appropriate that the bead struck up: "My Hero!" After it was over. t£e Babe trundled back to the dugout. And bls toammatM took those old familiar places u» froHe through two *xhibitioa innings against some of th* taen who followed the®.

Old man now, yes. But they won. 2 to 0, on hit* by Meusel and Hoyt. Something had made them young for the moment and this time they gave out for the Babe, the guy who had given them so much. It was a beautiful ending for the "3." MAJOR AMERICAN LEAGUE W L Pct. G.B.

Dick Wakefield Leads Tigers In Comeback 1 New York, June 14 —(VP) — Now that dormant Dick Wakefield ha* come to life and that fame*! ”T. N. T.” formation of Trout. Newhouser. and Trucks is explosive again, there are some faint flag hopes on this flag day for Detroit Tiger fans. The Tiger* were well anchored in fourth place today after sweeping a four-game series with Washi ingtoo which they climaxed with 9 to 3 and 9 to 2 victories yesterday. And though they are still eitht games behind the pace-setting Indians, it is well to remember that ! Tiger teams directed by manager ; Steve O'Neil! are traditional late starters. O'Neill usually get* his pitching primed to near perfection tor the Mretch weeks of the season, which could be a bad sign for virtually every other club. In the four-game Washington sweep. Wakefield boosted his average 77 points to a resj»*rtabl* .297 with eight hits in 14 times at bat The Tigers headed for home and a long stand witn eastern clubs with a plus record of seven victories and five defeats on a tough trip. During the trip Hal Newhouser, the big "middle man” in the formation won three straight game* and now has a winning streak of six. After three straight defeat* to the Indians, the Yankee* celebrated silver anniversary day at Yankee stadium by trimming Bobby Feller. 5 to 3, as Yogi Berra end Phil Ki.xzuto each hit two-run home*. It was Feller's sixth defeat against five wins and on a basin of percentages makes him the seventh Cleveland pitcher. Jim Hegan got a two-run Cleveland homer off Ed Ixipat, who won hl* third game. A six-run eighth Inning gave the Browns a 7 to 5 victory at Philadelphia. but young Carl Schieb silenced their lists In a 3 to 1 victory for the A s in th* second gan>e. The Braves, showing the bounce expected of a pennant contender, retaliated against the Reds at Cincinnati by winning 8 to 7 and 10 to 5 decisions after losing a pair on Sa'urday. The twin wins put Boston into a first place tie with the Giant*. In the opener, four run rallies in the seventh and ninth innings brought Boston from far behind to win. Ralph Kiner's 16th and 17th homers t parked the Pirate* to a 9 to 2 victory over the Phillies after the| Phil* won the opening slugfest. 4 to 7. Elmer Riddle won his seventh game for Pittsburgh while relief pitcher Walt Dublel was the Philly victor. Frankie Gustine of the Hues and Bert Haas of Philly nit first game hpm*rs. Johnny Schmitz topped the Dodgers for Ih* third straight time this year. 3 to 1, at Chicago, giving up only four hits, one a homer by OH Hodge*. Il wa* bl* sixth triumph, t homer by Andy Psfko and Bob Schefflngs two run double produced the tallies that beat Joe Hatten The Giants split at St. Louis, winning 8 to 7 to extend th* latest Cardinal losing streak to five UUMB. but the Redbird* made three first Inning ran* stand up for a 8 to 2 victory In the second contest. The Giants made 16 -hits In their victory, Willard Marshall. Buddy Ketr, Sid Gordon and Bobby Thompson getting three each as Harry Brecheen suffered his sscond defeat against six victories.
