Ruth's Widow Sends Mickey Best Wishes NEW YORK (UP) — “if the Babe were alive today he’d be rooting for Mickey Mantle' to break his record.” That was the message sent to ManUe today by Mrs. Babe Ruth on the eighth anniversary of her husband’s death. “You know how the Babe was,’* Mrs. Ruth continued. “He was jealous of no one. “As for me, I wish Mickey the best of luck. It’s kind of hard for me to talk about the Babe's home run record. You understand. The record has stood now for 29 years.. » 'Mrs. Ruth gazed out the window of h,er apartment from where she could see the Hudson River below. She talked of how she had visited the Babe's resting place Sun day at the Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Valhalla, N. Y. She signed a moment and then, a little reluctantly, returned to Mantle’s chances of Ruth's record of 60 homers in one season. “Det’s see now,” she said. “Mickey would have to hit 19 home runs in the 41 games re-| maining to break the Babe's record.. Well, nothing is impossible. Records are broken every day. But It will be quite difficult. “I think the amount of walks he'll get will play a big part in whether Mickey breaks the rec ord or not. The year Babe broke the record he was walked 136 times. So far. Mantle, has gotten 91 walks, isn’t that so?” Told that she was correct, Mrs. Ruth went on: “Why I remember seeing Babe walked purposely with 5 the bases full even though it forced in a run.’ve often heard y Cobb and other baseball >ipen ‘better four balls for ohe base than one ball for four bases.’ Yet, I certainly think those pitchers won’t make it any easier for Mickey. But batting both right and left — handed like he does, he has a wonderful chance. “September is the month that counts,” she said finally. “Several other players have some close before but that last month of the season — the one in which Babehit 17 home runs —that's the month that really tells.” Pressed for a predicitTon, Mrs. Ruth begged off. “Honestly,” she said, “I Wouldn’t know which Way to prp I d)ct. All I dan say is that T wish Mickey the best of luck from the bottom of my heart. And 1 know if the Babe were around now, he’d be rooting for Mickey. “The Babe was like that. . ." Mickey Mantle Drive Thwarted By Walks NEW YORK (UP) — Two walks — his 90th and 91st of the season—helped Wednesday to thwart Mickey Mantle’s drive on Babe Ruth’s home run record; — Mantle walked twice, popped to shortstop and singled to Centerfield in four trips to the plate as the Yankees beat the Red Sox. 6-4. The single stretched his hitting streak to 9 games and he now leads Ruth's pace by 12 games with 42 homers in 113 games. Report Martha Raye Is Much Improved MIAMI BEACH (UP) — Hospital attendants reported comedienne Martha • Raye “much improved’’ today and on the road to recovery from an overdose of sleeping pills.i Miss Raye, in Florida to seel; I a divorce from her fifth husband, dancer Ed Begley, > still has given no public explanation for swallowing a bottle of some 25 sleeping pills early Tuesday.
