Defense Outdoes Pitching' The Pirates won yesterday because their defense clicked with first-hand lessons to his former stablemate, Carmen Notch, on the Detroit Red Wings clash with the INDIANAPOLIS, April 7 There is nothing like a good story to'shorten a long, chilly Hoosier night, so when General Manager Roger Peckinpaugh began on his favorite subject the other evening, the room was all ears Peck will talk baseball, old and new, until dawn, and he waxes m-ost eloquent when the conversation drifts around to Babe Ruth, as it always does. He and the fabulous Bam were team-mates together on the Yankees over a long span of years. Peck says there was never a man like Ruth, either on the field or off. Especially off, the listener gathers. It's hardly a secret that the Babe not only set up home run records, but also his own code of conduct.

He was a rugged individualist the day he chided the Chicago fans in a World Series by pointing to the right field stands and then calmly hitting the ball into them, just as he was after he had closed shop for the day and barged out on his own. J(S jft "There was one spring when Babe seemed to be more of a guy on the loose than ever," Peck told. "He started breaking the training rules in camp and by the time the season opened, he was just hitting his stride. Little Miller Huggins, our manager, was at his wits ends to know what to do. Hug was as easy to get along with as the hostess at a night club, and naturally, Ruth being what he was to the club, Miller was willing to give him rope to spare.

"But affairs kept going from bad to worse, until finally, one day, Huggins went into a huddle with Owner Jake Ruppert, Ed Barrow and the rest of the board of strategy. 'We've got to clamp down on the Babe, Mr. Ruppert said to open the meeting. "'That's right, we Huggins agreed, the rest nodded their assent. 'We'll -wtatch him, and when he pulls a real bad one, we'll give him the said Mr.

Ruppert. Hug exploded, 'and it will be the works, too. Nothing soft, you know, nothing less than a five thousand dollar 'And mebbe a 30-day suspension to boot, chipped in Barrow. Mr. Ruppert shouted in his best accent, 'five thousand and 30 days that will teach him a "So his bosses lay in wait for the Babe to cut loose again.

Ruth made it easy for them, too. It wasn't more than a couple of days later that he had wound up and pitched a jovial evening. It was one of those typical Ruthian affairs which found Babe stealing home with the milkman when it was all over." "The trap was ready to be sprung." 'Now we dose it said Barrow. 'You replied Huggins, but there's no use doing it until after the game. The big boy'll have a bad day, and he'll know what we mean when we tell "Well, all Ruth did that afternoon was slap out two of the longest home runs I ever saw.

The second one won the game, and between homers he made a catch that would have done credit to Tris Speaker." "They tell me there was quite a scene in the Yankee office afterward. Barrow was sitting behind his desk when Huggins came in. They looked at each other with just the trace of a pair of sheepish grins." "'Okay, Hug spoke up; now, what about the "Ruppert cut loose with a snort. 'Forget it, Miller, he boomed, 'what's to be d-one with a damn foolish ball player like "Before he was finished as a Yank, Ruth was plastered with a $5000 fine, but n-ot that day." se 5js It is a never-failing source of wonder to the wanderer through the pardon, we were about to say the grapefruit circuit, but that's out. But your agent is always surprised at the way the boys view the exhibition games.

These affairs mean nothing except as conditioners, and you would think no one would so much as bother to glance at the scoreboard but after the Pirates had taken the second straight from the Cleveland Indians yesterday, Uncle Frankie Frisch sounded like a popcorn-popping bee in his clubhouse, while Lou Boudreau, his rival, had hardly a word to speak for the Clevelands. Onkel Franz may not be a happy man tonight, but he is as this is being penned, and in an offside to a reporter who asked him why all the hilarity, he uttered a great truth. "I like to watch ball players in these spring games," he said. "I like to see how they react to winning and losing. When I see one who likes to win and gripes when, he loses, I know he has at least one requisite for staying in the big leagues, no matter what he does at the plate or in the field.
