The End Babe Ruth’s 1935 Job to Be Manager or Nothing, He Announces.

BY JOE WILLIAMS Tinn Special Sports Writsr rjETKOiT, Oct. B.—Colonel Jacdb Ruppert will pay off Joe McCarthy and appoint Babe Ruth as manager of the Yankees for next season or the Babe’s career with the New York club has come to an end. You may accept that from Ruth himself. “I will not sit on the bench as a Saturday and Sunday player or pinch hitter with the Yankees or any other club next season,” said Ruth to me as we walked up and down the platform in the St. \ Louis railroad station at dusk yesterday. I had stepped out to gather my impressions about the game in which the Tigers ! had got the upper hand in the world series with the Cardinals. I was all set for a piere about a frail young pitcher by the name of Thomas Bridges, from Gordonsville, ] Tenn., and his triumph over a loquacious hombre who goes by the ; baroque moniker of Dizzy Dean. But Ruth's surprising message to Colonel Ruppert, to the fans of j New York—to the sport followers I of America —struck me as a far , more vital story than anything or anybody having to do with a world series game. There will be lots of world series games, but never another George Herman Ruth. a o a “TF I am to remain in baseball lin 1935, it will be ass. manager,” the Babe continued. “Yes, that means I will not sign another player’s contract with the Yankees. 1 have reached the point at which I must be manager or nothing. If I can not get a job as a manager —and it must be in the major leagues—Claire and I may spend next summer traveling in Europe. It was a strange spot and a strange time for the announcement. I had met Ruth by accident. He had spied me from a car window and had come down to join me in my constitutional while he waited for our special to start lor Detroit. I had asked no leading questions. He had volunteered the information. and he delivered it with conviction and determination and sincerity. Apparently. Ruth and Mrs. Ruth just had made their decision. a a a MCARTHY'S contract has an- ! other year to run. Those in j the know say the Colonel does not ! fire his managers. They added j that at no time has Ruppert considered making Ruth the leader of the Yankees. It looks like vale to the grand old warrior. It was startling news and a sad message got from Ruth in the dusk of a warmish evening in St. Louis. Tltpre certainly was no question but that he could remain with the Yankees as a pinch hitter. Appreciating his value as a box office attraction. Colonel Ruppert probably would pay him $25,000 just to hit fungoes before the game and go up to the plate in the pinches. • That would be a soft job for you and easy money,” I mentioned to Ruth. •’Why pass it up?” a ts o “cpHAT would be a cheap way to JL end my days in baseball." he replied. ‘‘l was fortunate enough to have a fine career. I don’t intend to do anything at this late , date to cheapen it. I wouldn’t sign with the Yankees or any other ball club as a pinch hitter for $50,000. I thfnk more of my reputation as a ball player than I do of money. Luckilf I can afford to take this position because I am reasonably well off.” You can be assured Ruth is not talking just to hear the pleasant nuances of his voice when he say he never will sign with any club as a part time performer in the ranks Imagine Babe Ruth, once the great home run king, sitting on a bench waiting for some manager to look around and say. “All right. Ruth, go up there and see if you can get a foul tip!” nan IT is definitely and formally settled. then, that Ruth will not be in baseball next year unless he is managing a big league ball club. What. then, does he plan to do? I don't know. “I'm going to Japan with the AllStars. and if there are no development* of interest during that time I may stay abroad for the summer," he said. “I’ve never been over there, you know, and they tell me there are lots of things for a fellow to see.” Listening to Ruth it was plain that the last thing he wants to do is to quit baseball. It was plain, too. that he was definitely resolved to quit the game for good unless he becomes a manager. I commented that that ought to be easy enough for the greatest ball player of all time. Why, a lot of ten-cent ball players had gotten jobs a* big league managers. “I don't think it will be so easy," Ruth said. “To begin with, I won't take a job away from another fellow. I mean, a fellow that is already under contract. 'This unquestionably was a reference to Joe McCarthy of the Yankees, whose contract still has another year to run.) Secondly, my opport unities are limited. The American League isn’t going to let me go to the National That would be poor business. I can understand the attitude, but I certainly am not in sympathy with it.” tCopyn*at, 1934. by the New York WorldTtbarm).

COURT TO ACT ON DEVALUATION Supreme Bench Accepts for Review Case Against Gold Clause. /.'!/ I nit id Press WASHINGTON. Oct. B—Devaluation of the dollar in terms of gold, authorized by the last congress and made effective by President Roosevelt’s executive order, this afternoon was promised supreme court scrutiny as to its validity. The court announced its intention when it accepted for review an attack on the law as applied to bonds of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. The law had been sustained in the case by the New York state court of appeals. The court acted in a suit brought by Norman C. Norman, New York City, who challenged failure of the railroad to pay him interest of $22.50 in gold or the present day equivalent of what was that amount of gold prior to the devaluation order. The road’s bond with a face value of SI,OOO carried a clause providing for payment of principal and interest in gold coin of the United States of or equal to the standard of the weight and fineness existing Feb. 1. 1930. the date the bond was purchased. When the interest coupon involved matured. Norman demanded of the road that he be paid either $22.50 in gold or the old standard $38.10 in currency, the amount represented by the earlier quantity of gold. The road interposed as a defense the gold devaluation resolution. Campbell Plea Rejected By United Press . WASHINGTON. Oct. 8.

DELL PLAIN RESIGNS STATE UTILITY JOBS I Accepts Presidency of National Stivet Lighting Concern. By United Press HAMMOND. Ind., Oct. B.—Morse Dell Plain, president of the Northern Indiana Public Service Company. resigned today to accept the presidency of the Welsbach Street Lighting Company of America, with national headquarters in Philadelphia.

BEGINS FIGHT TO SAVE •BOBBIE' FROM CHAIR Defense Counsel to Submit Five Exceptions to Verdict. i By t nited Press WILKES-BARRE. Pa. Oct. B. The fight to save Robert A. Edwards from the electric chair began today. Frank McGtngan. defense counsel, announced he would submit at least five exceptions to j the verdict of the jury which found I Edwards guilty of murdering his sweetheart, Freda McKechnie.

In addition to Colonel Lindbergh, one of the most important witnesses was Millard Whited, a neighbor, who said he saw- Hauptmann near the Lindbergh home in the Sourland mountains shortly before the kidnaping. Supreme Court Justice Thomas Trenchard's charge to the jury of twenty men—mostly farmers and merchants—and three housewives made it clear that New Jersey will seek to convict Hauptmann of murder, for which the penalty may be death, instead of kidnaping, for which the penalty is twenty years imprisonment. A murder indictment alone was asked because return of a kidnaping charge as well as a murder bill might permit the suspect to plead guilty to the lesser charge and escape a murder trial. “The state’s representatives . . . have stated to the court that the evidence to be presented will tend to show that Hauptmann ... in the course of a burglary of the dwelling of Colonel Lindbergh, done for the purpose of committing battery upon and stealing the infant son, Charles A. Lindbergh Jr. . . . caused such child to be stricken and as a result of which the child died,” the justice said in his charge. Colonel Lindbergh Heard He emphasized that an indictment should be returned whether the death of the child was accidental or intentional if it was found to have occurred in the commission' of a crime. Colonel Lindbergh made only a brief appearance. Surrounded by uniformed state police, he entered the building with hardly a glance at the crowd of townsfolk and fanners gathered around the old county courthouse. He left fifteen minutes later. His testimony was believed to have concerned events on the night of the kidnaping, and his identification of the infant’s body. Colonel Lindbergh was preceded by Albert S. Osborn, and his son, Albert D., New York handwriting experts, who had compared the handwriting of the Lindbergh ransom notes with that of Hauptmann. With the testimony of four witnesses heard in slightly more than an hour, it was indicated officials would conclude presentation of testimony late this afternoon. Girl Cashier Called The grand jury heard Cecil Barr, New York theater cashier, who identified Hauptmann as the man who gave her a Lindbergh ransom note near the close of 1932. Whited testified next. He was followed by Ben Lupica, student, who observed a stranger near the Hopewell estate just before the kidnaping; Frank W. Wivson, of the United States treasury department, and two New Jersey state ;>olicemen. Corporal William Horn and Trooper Andrew Zapolski. Mrs. Ollie Whately, widow of the former Lindbergh butler, was called to testify in the afternoon. ROOSEVELT CONFERS WITH NEW NRA BOARD President Spends More Than Hour With Johnson Successors.

Needing just one victory to capture the world’s basball championship, the Detroit Tigers returned to their home lot today to play the St. Louis Cardinals in the sixth game of the series. The most enthusiastic baseball crowd seen at a world series game in the last half-dozen years jammed every bit of space in this highstrewn baseball stadium. The Tiger cause today was intrusted to Lynwood (Schoolboy) Row'e’ whose pitching in the second game, which broke Detroit into the winning column, was some of the finest the series has seen. He was opposed by Paul Dean, winner of the third game. Both are righthanders. The Tigers were hot betting favorites to win the series and were also favored in the wagering on today’s game. Micky Cochrane of the Tigers stood pat on his revised lineup with Goose Goslin in the cleanup position, Billy Rogell fifth, and Hank Greenberg sixth. If the Cards should win today, necessitating a seventh contest tomorrow, baseball would be having its first seven-game series since 1931 when the Cards v/on the title over the Philadelphia Athletics. Dizzy Dean had his ears pinned back yesterday as the Tigers carved out a 3-to-l victory. This Detroit triumph placed the Tigers in the lead in the series for the first time. It was due, more than anything else, to the grand pitching performance of Tommy Bridges, the 155-pound speedball star. Following is the batting order: CARDS. TIGERS. Martin, 3b White, cf Rothroek. rs Cochrane, e Frisch, 2b Gehringer, 2b Medwick. If Goslin, If Collins, lb Roftell, ss Oelanecy, c Greenberg, lb Orsatti, cf Owen, 3b Durocher, ss Fox. rs P.

350 DEAD IN REVOLT; WAR FLARESANEW Spanish Military Dominates Country as Fighting Continues. (Copyright, 1934. by United Pres.s) MADRID, Oct. B.—The government. crushing the Socialist revolt in every part of the country, poured troops into Austurias today, the chief remaining center of resistance. Resistance in other parts of the country was scattered and confined to guerrilla fighting, although a general strike was proclaimed in Corunna province. The Catalonian session movement definitely was broken. Don Luis Companys and thirty-one other revolt leaders were under arrest on a waship in Barcelona harbor and were to be taken to Minorca for court-martial. Death sentences were possible, although It was believed Companys, if convicted, would be given commutation to life imprisonment. The country was under strict marital law and the government appeared to be getting things well in hand. It was unofficially estimated the revolt cost more than 350 lives, with 1,200 wounded in hospitals and thousands under arrest. Guards Given Rifles Municipal guards, hitherto equipped only with truncheons, appeared this afternoon with rifles, suggesting that authorities are taking no chances on further disorders. A block on which revolutionists had planned to execute their enemies when the revolt succeeded was found today in the council chamber of the town hall of Eibar, scene of intense fighting. The war office received word from Oviedo (by plane) that the city looked dead with nobody in the streets. The red flag flew over several buildings, showing the rebels still were in control. Troops were converging on the city to drive them out. There was no communication with Oviedo, because the wires still were out. Asturias evidently still was far from being in control. The cruiser Libertad, standing off the bay of Biscay coast, started bombarding Ft. Murcel at Gijon when rebels captured it. Guerilla Warfare Flares Guerilla warfare on a large scale was in progress in Barcelona. Snipers shooting at government forces made the streets impassable in mid-after-noon. Troops returned the fire and snipers retaliated from roof tops. Street cars were abandoned because of the flying bullets. The generalidad building, seat of the Catalonian government, and the city hall were badly damaged from the attack of troops before the generalidad surrendered. The steamer Uruguay, on which Companys and other rebels are prisoners, was surrounded by four warships. A general strike was declared today in Granada, southeastarmost province. The Madrid judge investigating smuggling of arms into Spain charged that Manuel Azana. one of the revolt leaders, had received German pistols, ribes and ammunition at Bilbao, smuggled into the country by the German ship Tolansk.

Spectacular, But Vain Attempt to Escape Is Followed by Court Appearances of Four Sullen Prisoners. JUDGE FLAILS CONFESSED KILLER Slayer of Police Sergeant Loses by Attempt to Flee Chance to Receive 20-Year Sentence, Prosecutor Reveals.

By United Press MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., Oct. S.—John Kanzleiter, 34, Terre Haute, escaped from the N'iemer farm of the Indiana state prison Saturday night, Warden Louis E. Kunkel announced today. He had completed five years of a 20-year term on robbery charges. Pleas of guilty by four sullen, blood-spattered and physically beaten men today wrote finis to the story of a spectacular, but futile, county jail escape Saturday night. The pleas weVe followed by lengthy sentences for each of the four, one of whom, Ernest (Red) Giberson, was sent to the Indiana state prison, Michigan City, for life by Criminal Judge Frank Baker. Giberson, whose right eye was discolored and whose right cheek was bruised, pleaded guilty to an indictment

charging him with second degree murder in the submachine gun killing of Police Sergeant Lester Jones. The indictment was returned today to replace one charging Giberson with first degree murder in the same killing. After he had been sentenced, Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson told reporters that Giberson had lost, through the attempted jailbreak, a chance to plead guilty to a robbery charge and receive a twenty-year sentence. Both Mr. Wilson and Floyd J. Mattice, chief deputy prosecutor, represented the state in Giberson’s arraignmnt and sentencing. Influenced by Jail Break That the jail break had Influenced Judge Baker was obvious. “Every well regulated jail should be provided with something like saws and the doors should be kept open,” he observed sarcastically. “Then,” he added more seriously, “when a prisoner steps over the bounds something should happen to him.” The judge paused dramatically, pointed his finger at Giberson and continued: “It’s lucky for you that you weren’t killed. So far as I’m concerned. men who break jail ought to be shot!” Giberson, whose career of crime began when he was sentenced to the boys’ school as an incorrigible and continued through bootlegging and petty robberies as he grew older, was captured at Erlanger, Ky., a month after Sergeant Jones was shot. Pals in Michigan City In the house where he was found, living under the aliases of A1 Nichols and A1 Thompson, were Fred Adams and George Murphy, alias George Swartz, both of whom later pleaded guilty to the crime and who now are serving life sentences at Michigan City. Giberson, taken to the Noblesville jail on a change of venue, escaped and later was recaptured in Cincinnati. He had been mentioned as a possible state’s witness against Edward (Foggy) Dean in the latter’s murder trial in connection with Sergeant Jones’ killing, but was not called. A jury disagreed on Dean’s guilt or innocence Friday. He is to be retried early in November. Police were taking no chance on a repetition of the break today when Giberson, who appeared in a black, zipper-fronted sweater, and his three companions in the jail break came to court. All were handcuffed and all w r ere guarded closely. Giberson was brought in alone first; the other three together after Giberson's case had been disposed of. Youth Gets 20-Year Term The other three are Roy Love, a slight youth of 19. who was sent to the reformatory for twenty years; August Cummings, 33, who appeared the worst beaten of any of the prisoners, who complained of his condition to both the court and reporters, and who was sent to the state prison for thirty-three years, and Theodore Hulbert, 23, hardened army deserter, who was sent to the reformatory for twelve years. Cummings’ hair was matted with blood and more blood was spattered on his shirt. “Take a picture of this,” he jeered at reporters as he was brought into the courtroom. “I've got a cut on my head a foot long.” Later, when he had entered a plea of guilty to an indictment charging him with the robbery of $154 from the Hoosier Cab Company offices Aug. 10, he told Judge Baker: “I’m entering this plea of guilty because of my present condition.” Statement Is Read “You're not entering any plea of that kind in this court,” Judge Baker retorted. Garrett Bates, deputy prosecutor, handling the cases against the three, then read a statement alleged to have been made by Richard Ap- j plegate, indicted with Cummings, in which Cummings was named as I

TODAYS ESCAPE—

the “brains” of the holdup. As the deputy prosecutor read, Cummings turned around and winked at reporters. Mr. Bates concluded with a statement to the court that, when arrested, Cummings had in his pockets letters from a man in Illinois inviting Cummings to go to that state to participate in holdups there. “You wouldn’t plead guily unless you really were guilty,” Judge Baker told Cummings after hearing the deputy prosecutor’s statement. Love, whose shirt also was bloodspattered, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with robbery and inflicting personal injury in connection with the fatal shooting of Jack Werner, Indiana avenue pawnbroker, in a #24 holdup. * Hulbert was unmarked, but he was extremely sullen and was muttering to himself as he withdrew his de mand of only a little more than % week ago that he be given a separata trial from the two men indicted witlxhim, both of whom pleaded guilty. The former soldier had boasted that no jail could hold him after a sensational escape from military imprisonment on Governor’s Island, New York harbor. The four men made their spectacular escape from the jail hero Saturday night. They had fashioned keys, wrenches and a screwdriver from spoons and scrap iron with the aid of a homemade lamp. Using the keys to lock and unlock doors in a manner reminiscent of a motion picture chase, they managed to slip out of line when Buster Lee, Negro jailer, was returning them lrom supper and to escape detection long enough to saw the bars out of a window facing Maryland street in the southern corridor on the second floor. Slide to Ground They almost had accomplished their escape when Lee, making an unscheduled inspection trip, surprised them. While he spread the alarm, they knocked loose the already sawed bars and slid to the ground on a rope made of mattress covers. Love, because of his short stature, never got over the jail fence. The rest were caught within a block and a half of the jail, after three shots had been fired at Cummings. Witnesses to the arrests saw no violence then which might explain the bruises on the men's persons this morning.
