YORK, April 16.—1f there is anybody in the sports world who does not know by now that Babe Ruth is no longer a member of the Yankees it can hardly be ascribed to the fact that an inadequate number of words were written on the subject. But somehow the realization that the great man has moved away from the stadium is driven home with fresh finality and with a touch of poignancy, if you happen to feel that way about your baseball heroes, as the team takes the field today without him. For this is the first time in 15 years—the first time since the Yankees became the show team of the nation, that they have started a season with the home run slugger in enemy flannels. While the Yankees are facing the Red Sox the Babe will be down Boston way making his formal bow as a National Leaguer. To those adoring regulars who sat out in right field, or Ruthville as they called it, this opening game is going to seem rather strange. They sat closer to him than anybody else in the stadium, and very likely they were closer to him emotionally. They talked to him and the great man talked with them. a a a a a a npHEY even developed a ritual out there that didn't exist anywhere else J. in baseball, and it was reserved for the great man alone. Whenever h* hit a home run they stood as one man and waved handkerchiefs in the air, a sacred salute to genius. Nobody knows who started it. But like Topsy, it Just grew. And somehow it meant more than any other form of acclaim in sports. It was unique and distinctive. No other man but Ruth had ever risen that high in the affections of the fans. And if there were times when the effect was that of wash on a tenement line it was still the accolade supreme, the honor ultimate. a a a a a a THE baseball fan has a ready rapacity for loose sentiment and I don’t doubt but that there will be a lot of them out there today looking at the Yankees through a misty, wistful haze. They will remember when the Babe first came to the Yankees back in 1920, a funny looking bird with a barrel stomach and toothpick legs. "Say do you remember you could hear him grunt way out here when he missed one ” “And how about the time he hit one here in the bleachers and held up the game between innings while he autographed the ball " "Yeah, he got 54 homers that year and them know-it-all guys in the press box said that record would never be beat. Haw! ” a a a a a a PROBABLY it isn’t fair to Joe McCarthy and the present Yankees to suggest Babe should have got the manager's job, but it is no distortion of the truth to repeat that that was his one burning ambition. On a basis of his rich contributions to the sport I thought he was entitled to the chance but I am forced to admit he played his cards stupidly. When he walked into Col. Jacob Ruppert’s office and demanded a showdown—with McCarthy's contract still having another year to go—he closed the door to whatever prospects he may have had. If he had been less impatient and waited another year he would have put the Colonel squarely on the spot. As it was he unwittingly solved a problem for the Colonel that was becoming more and more aggravating each week. a a a a a a IT remains to be seen how Ruth’s adventure, a pioneer at 41 in a strange league, works out. Right now he appears enthusiastic and Boston is aroused over the return of s he Baltimore street urchin who was destined to become the most publicized figure in the history of baseball. How they’ll both feel a little later on in the year when the novelty dims is something else. But no matter what happens Ruth probably will always be able to throw rocks at the wolf. If Ruppert didn't see fit to gratify the Babe's passionate ambition to become an American League manager—and you will note that no other American League club saw fit. either —he at least paid him in the lavish manner. Ruth took more out of the American League than any two stars combined. And IH grant you he probably was worth all he took. At the same time he was fortunate in having a generous employer. In baseball the player takes what he gets or else. Ruth never had a serious contract fight, with Rupoert.

Sells Meyer Winning Car Fate played a cruel prank on the chunky Hoosier in 1929. Louie Meyer, shopping for a car, was told Red had two, either of which was for sale. Louie looked at both cars and asked which of the two Red preferred to sell. “Take your pick, or both," Red informed him. Meyer made his selection, won the 500-mile race that year and went on to become one of the two double winners of the annual SIOO,OOO classic.

INDIANS’ GAME AT COLUMBUS POSTPONED

Ice Blankets Playing Field of Red Birds Cold Weather Mars Opener for Anticipated Crowd of 15,000. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor COLUMBUS, 0., April 16—With ice on the field and snow in the stands, the Columbus baseball management surrendered to the elements at near noon toaay and the American Association opening game with Indianapolis was postponed. The delayed opener will be staged tomorrow and efforts will be made to hold all of the numerous pregame ceremonies that were on the program today. The advance ticket sale was 60 per cent over last year and the club officials tried hard to avoid a postponement. The stadium groundkeeper, employing an extra force, reported shortly before noon that it would be impossible to have the field in shape by game time despite the fact the weather showed signs of clearing.

Hope to Play Tomorrow ■ It still was much too cold for baseball, however, and the temperature will have to do some fast climbing to permit the teams to get on the field tomorrow. At any rate here was the probable lineup in the event the champion Birds and Hoosiers had played today: Indians— Columbus— Bluege, ss Martin. 2b Cooney, cf Epps, cf Stoneham, rs Hassett, lb Stephenson, If Cullop. rs Heath, lb Padgett, If Bedore, 3b Gutteridge, 3b Sherlock, 2b Delker, ss Riddle, c Ogrodowski, c Gallivan, p Klinger, p Umpires—Johnston and Kober. The Birds were embarrassed no end when their Florida sun tan started to bleach out the instant they hit town. On the other hand, the hardy Hoosiers, up from the high waters of Kentucky, where their training was curtailed by rain and cold weather, stood by and laughed. They have learned to expect anything, come rain, snow or dust storms. Bluege Ready for Action Otto Bluege, the Indians flashy shortstop who was injured in an exhibition game last Saturday, was in fair shape this morning and said he would try to fill his position when the official bell sounded. This is the 34th season of the American Association and the same eight clubs that formed the organization back in 1902 are still in the circuit. Columbus ’s setting out to capture its third consecutive pennant, having taken the title in 1933 and 1934. The Buckeye club has won five championships and was a three time winner in 1905, 1906 and 1907. Indianapolis has finished out in front four times, in 1902, 1908, 1917 and 1928. There are three managerial replacements as the new campaign opens, Fred Haney at Toledo, Marty McManus at St. Paul and Eddie (Dutch) Zwilling returns to pilot Kansas City. The Indians are making their headquarters in Columbus at the Deshler Wallick Hotel. Nine pitchers are in the Tribe party, three catchers, six infielders and four outfielders. Phil Gallivan and Mickey Heath made the trip from Indianapolis by auto. The others came on the Pennsylvania and rode into a snow storm shortly after leaving the Hoosier capital. Birds Have New Men The Tribesmen are scheduled to be at Columbus three days, after which they will go to Toledo for games Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The Hoosiers and Mud Hens are down on the schedule for a double-header on Easter. The Indians open their home season at Perry Stadium next Tuesday, April 23. No game will be played on Monday. The champion Birds are carrying a large squad with many new faces, and more new players are expected to be sent by the parent St. Louis Cardinals later if the present roster fails to click at the outset. The Indians were in position to obtain a large chunk of revenue today had not the weather kicked over the traces. An attendance of 15.000 was forecast before wintry blasts took over the city last night. By United Pre** KANSAS CITY. Mo., April 16 The Kansas City Blues and the Milwaukee Brewers of the American Association will open their 1935 schedules on Muehlebach Field here today at 3 p. m. Phil Page, a left-hander, will do the mound duty for Kansas City. Polli will pitch for Milwaukee. Mayor Bryce Smith will pitch the first ball and City Manager H. F. McElroy will catch it. De Wolf Hopper, veteran actor long associated with baseball as ' official" lamentator of "Casev at the Bat,” will be in the stands. By Time* Special ST. PAUL. Minn.. April 16—The “Twin City" rivals, Minneapolis and St. Paul, set the match to the bitterest two-team feud in the American Association right at the outset today, and dynamic Manager Ownie Bush has announced that the veteran Chuck Morrow, right-hand-er. has been slated to handle the ! Miller cannonading duties. Manager i Marty McManus has assigned Lou Fettc. veteran portsider. to open I hostilities for the home-lot nine. The St. Paul club, under new ownership, anticipates a crowd of 12.000. ; By Time* Special TOLEDO.
