Record for Mile Held in Peril

PRINCETON, N. J, P.) .—Several world records were in danger at Princeton's fifth annual Invitation Track and Field Meet today, but the one most likely to go was the 4:064 mile mark held by Sydney Woeoderson of England. Although 31 of the nation’s outstanding athletes will be competing in six events, the curtain-raiser promised to be the feature—with Glenn Cunningham and Archie San Romani of Kansas, Josef Mostert of Belgium, Pete Bradley of Princeton, and Blaine Rideout of Texas, matching strides for four laps around the Palmer Stadium cinder track. Don Lash, the tireless Indiana man who set the former 8:58.3 twomile record here in 1936, will attempt to better the latest mark of 8:56.00 set by Miklos Szabo of Hungary. His opposition will come from Harold Manning, Wichita, Kas.; Joe McClair, Manhattan; Ray Sears, Butler, and John Wall, San Francisco Olympic Cl ub.

that's all there was to it.” As ked about the saalry, Ruth said it would be “$15000 for the rest of the season.” “I'll like that, of course,” he said. “but the best part of the thing is getting back into the game. Yes, this is the first outright offer I've had from a big league club since I left the Yanks.” Ruth was asked if he felt that the coaching job would become a stepping stone to becoming manager. “Oh, it might,” he said. “But that's a matter for the years to come.

Quit in June, 1935

Ruth quit the Boston Bees, whom joined on Feb. 28, 1935, on June 1935. That was his last major league appearance, When he disegreemsnt with Judge Emil Fuchs, president of the team then known as the Braves, Ruth said: “I'm not through At least I hope I'm not.” Ruth never with the game from that day on, although he had dickered with many clubs for various positions. He had many opportunities to manage minor league clubs, but he turned them all down. ally said that when he returned to baseball it would be with a major league team or not at all. Whenever a managerial post opsned on the major league eircuit, Ruth's name always was the most prominent mentioned as a successor. But he never got a job. | It was said that no club owner wished to give Ruth a job as manager because he had not proved his ability for such a post. Many were of tha opinion that he should first prove himself in the minor leagues. Basebail experts believed that to-

MacPhail, brought in from Cincinnati to restore the Dodgers’ fortunes, apparently realized that the addi- | tion of Ruth would be a favorable move with the “Flatbush faithful.” And, should Ruth during the rest of the season display managerial talents, he could easily be given the job as manager when Grimes’ con- | tract expires. The name of Ruth alone would be enough to help increase attendance at Brooklyn—a goal for which MacPhail has striven | since he joined the Dodgers.

The State Highway Commission today studied the request of Perry Township Businessmen, Inc. to make Road 31 a divided lane highway from its intersection with Shelby 8t. to Southport. As a resolution to the traffic problem on that road, a delegation from the businessmen's organization said another highway could be built west of the interurban tracks along this stretch. The present roadway then could be used for one-way traffic, they said. Widening of Road 31 from Southport to at least Franklin also was asked by the delegation which was joined by a group of Greenwood res= idents. Problem Being Studied
