Don’t Weep for Babe —He’s Supremely Happy in New Role of Retired Gentleman So Joe Discovers When He Spends Evening at Home of Baseball’s Great Hero: Bambino Sings, Laughs and Discusses ‘Delicacy’ of Dog Meat. BY JOE WILLIAMS Timn Spcrinl Writer NEW YORK Dec 17—This is to report, that Mr. Babe Ruth, the most distinguished unemployed man in America, is still managing to get by. It isn't likely the relief workers will have to do anything about his case for some time to come. I dropped in to spend the evening with the old home-run buster recently, and an evening with him is quite an adventure. He had just returned from a hunting trip on which he had bagged innumerable pheasants. ducks and rabbits. . . . "We’ll give you a. feed like you never had

had before." he boomed And so in his luxurious 14-room

suite overlooking the historic Hudson the "feed* was prepared and served. When you protested you had had your fill the great man refilled your plate. . “Don't be timid, there isn’t going to be any check here." Taking a prodigious bite out of a

Joe Williams

rabbit he was somehow reminded of his trip around the world last winter. . . . "Now in Bali we had dog meat every day.” This caused the lovely Mrs. Ruth to blanch and shudder. . . . "Please Babe!” . . . "Well if it wasn't dog meat what was it? They killed 500 dogs a day there and 1 know that's what we ate.’’ After dinner there were trophies of the trip to be seen. A framed flag of Japan presented in person by the emperor. ... "A swell egg he was, too." Three priceless engraved copper uins. One for hitting the most home runs on the trip, one for leading all the stars in hitting (including Jimmy Foxx and Lou Gehrig), one for hitting the longest drive. . . . "Boy did I smack that one. And I had only one ball to hit. Earl Averill was leading in the contest when it came my turn. Then 1 gave it this.” The great man went through the motions of tearing the cover off the ball and almost knocked the piano over. Mr. Zc?, Confrey, the composer of popular tunes, was a guest. . . . "Sit down Zez and pound those ivories. I feel a lullaby coming on." Mr. Confrey proceeded to play his newest hit, "The Biggest Shot Today, P’rom Kenosha, U. S. A." Until you have heard the Babe throw his soul into what, ho calls a lullaby your appreciation of the lyrical charms of the voice must remain painfully limited. And the gentleman’s owti way of shouting "The Old Gray Mare" simply defies description. An admonition from Mrs. Ruth that the neighbors will start complaining if he doesn't lower his voice, brings "Can I Help It If They Don't Appreciate an Artist.” And then another booming stanza of the big shot from Kenosha, while vases tremble and pictures dance. Is He Downhearted? No! If you had any notion the old guy is deeply distressed because he hasn't a job or is melancholy about the unfortunate experience he had with the Boston Braves last summer, these brief glimpses of his home life. I trust, will immediately reassure you. He hasn’t a care in the world. "Sure, I'd like to be managing a big league club," he admits whet; the conversation finally turns to baseball. "But nobody seems to want to give me a chance, so that's that." And it positively is. The Babe is no longer looking for a job. The job will have to look for him. I suggested that it probably would 'be tough on him when it came time to go South. For the first time since 1914 he won't be making a spring training trip. A fellow can't wrench himself away from that sort of thing very easily. It then came out that the Babe is going down to St. Petersburg just as he has been doing since he first came to the Yankees. Going South Anyway ‘'Yep. right after the holidays we are going to pack and go South. I'm getting my fishing tackle and golf sticks ready now. I like St. Pete. It's a nice place for old peo-

CITY OFFERED NET MEET The Indianapolis Racquet Club has been offered the Mid-Western Tennis Association tournament for 1936. Hopson Ziegler of the Senateav Y. M. C A. announced today. The offer was made by Frank Sommers, East St. Louis, 111., president of the association. WABASH VETERAN DIES CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Dec. 18 —A famous Wabash College athlete, Albert W. (Babe) Ristine, 56, died last Saturday night at his home in North Holston, Va„ according to word received here. After ptaying with the Little Giants in the early nineties. Ristine was a star half back at Harvard in 1901. pie, and you writers have been calling me an old man for years. I’m going to sit out in the sun on those green benches with the rest of the gray beards.” A couple of the Babe’s old bats leaned against the Avail in his den, a den crowded with stirring mementoes of his brilliant career. I asked if he intended to take one of the old bats with him on the off chance he might feel the urge to get on the field and hit a few. The Babe ran a massive hand through his thick black hair and smiled. “Naw T ANARUS, I don’t think I will. I guess I have taken my last cut at a baseball. I'll go out and watch the fellow's practice once in a while, but that will be about all.” It would be easy for an admirer of the Babe to grow maudlin over the statement he has taken his last cut at a baseball, but there doesn't seem to be anything that can be done about it. and as I have said, he seems to be supremely happy in his new and as yet strange isolation. The Babe seems to be adjusting himself to his sudden leisure much better than most old timers. When Tv Cobb finally had to hang up his spikes he gathered his family together and took a steamer for Europe. where he spent his first season out of baseball. "I'd go crazy just sitting around reading the box scores if I stayed in this country,” he admitted to me before he sailed.

Paul Stemm Tacks Up Series of 725 to Annex City Tenpin Laurels

BY BERNARD HARMON EARLY in October, Paul Stemm missed the 700 mark by a margin of two pins, and last week j he again threatened with a 694. butj in last night’s session of the South Side Business Men's League he i added enough pressure to pass the mark with 25 pins to spare. Games of 224, 269 and 232 netted him his 725, which with the help of Art Pritchard’s 608 formed the bulk of pinnage in the Newman's C-V Beers’ triple victory over BradenSutphin Ink. The team, with games of 1041, 986 and 1015, amassed a 3042 total which was tops among the various aggregations displaying their tenpin skill on local alleys during the evening. Thad Tedrowe and Jack Colvin did all they could to! keep the Sutphin's in the i unning but their respective totals of 619 and 604 were not enough to offset the hard hitting tactics of the C-V pair. When Bob Wuensch connected for a 648 and Joe Danna 612. Bake & Van's D-X Service totaled 2948 in winning three times over Koch Furniture. The winners were best in their nightcap game when they cut loose with a 1033. Tydol Gas had little difficulty in disposing of Chf Meier Coal Cos. over the shutout route. Ed Schott anchored the Tydols with a 603 that proved high solo count of the clash. Heidenreich Florists nabbed the opening game over Slahlhut Jewelers, and then, despite Dan Abbott's closing games of 235 and 223 that netted

Hoosier Prep Aces Honored for Fine Play Full Backs Outstanding in Grid Selections: Local Lad at Center. BY DICK MILLER After several days spent in turning back the pages of the 1935 Indiana high school football records, rechecking the achievements of more than 5000 boys who participated during the fall campaign. The Indianapolis Times today presents its annual All-State teams and honor roll. Last Saturday, the writer announced Memorial of Evansville as his choice to receive The Times trophy "Triumph.” symbolic of th<* I outstanding high school team in the state during the season just closed. Heavy On Full Backs A. L. Trester. Indiana High School Athletic Association Commissioner, announced 89 member schools produced football teams, with 4825 boys participating. Three members of | the state Catholic association boosts the total of eligible players over the 5000 mark. The performances of the full backs were the most impressive of any one position. In fact, it is our opinion that four of the five best backs in the state were full backs. And there is little to choose bej tween Leon De Witte, of Mishawaka; Frank Winchell, of Southport: Len Will, of Memorial, and Jack Brown, of Shortridge. Indianapolis. Thom, of Noblesville. was a great ball toter and he had a good team-mate in Alexander. It took Ed Yarnelle. of Wabash. 1o break into the first four named with any challenge for the "best” honors. Zeke Meyers, of Auburn; Rex Herbert, of Garfield, Terre Haute; Woody Wey, of Wiley, Terre Haute; Britt, of West Lafayette, and Kendall, of Crawfordsville. were full backs of real class. A1 Bodnev, of Lew Wallace, in Gary, was a standout until slowed by injuries in midseason. The same might be said of Cobb Lewis, of Bicknell. who reached the age limit j in mid-season. Sitko At Quarter The quarter back berth goes to Steve Sitko. of Central of Fort ; Wayne, who directed his team i through an undefeated regular sea- | son. Monihan, of New' Albany, is placed with Ed Yarnelle at the haif i back pasts. He was leading scorer in the Southern Conference. Ed I Yarnelle is one of the Yarnelle i twins and they were really Touch- ; down Twins. De Witte is given a slight edge ! over Frank Winchell. The big j Southport boy w'as not as versatile ; in all departments as the upstater, who is regarded better than his prej decessor. Roy-Horstman. who later became an all-America at Purdue. Shortridger No Surprise Wesley Martin, of undefeated Shortridge. is given the center berth, and that is no surprise to I those who saw the team in action. Verplank. Krall and Chartos were j all fine pivot men. and'Ostermeyer, | of South Side of Fort Wayne, was a favorite of many. There were several standout guards. Niedbalski, of Central of South Bend, who came fast near the end of the season, seriously : challenging Conway and Marrs for | the first team berths. Fificld, of Low'ell, was a great | tackle on a little team and a player i who could have made any high ' school club. Much has been said of Harmon, of Horace Mann, Zoeller, ! of New Albany, Niclick, of Washing- | ton in East Chicago, and others. In fact, w'e have heard so much, and have seen so much that we feel it is safe to say the entire honorable mention list is jammed with sensational performers. Irish Cagers Top Northwestern for Seventh Straight 5500 See Notre Dame Hand Wildcat Quint First Defeat, 40-29. Timex Special NOTRE DAME. Ind . Dec. 17 The Notre Dame-Northwestern net feud, one of the most eoloeful in college basketball, added another j chapter with a 40-to-29 victory for i the Irish here last night. A capacity crowd of 5500 fans watched Notre Dame register its : seventh straight victory and Northwestern go down to its first defeat of the season The Irish took an early lead and never were pressed. During the first half Notre Dame held the visitors to three field goals end piled up a 27-to-12 advantage. Finding themselves unable to cope with the home boys’ fast ballhandling. the Wildcats switched from a zone to a man-to-man defense in the second half and slowed 1 the Irish attack. Moir and Meyer.
