i ONE OF I I 5 yTwSUA JACK I I 1 5 cy'ivfrv dunn' i vii i Opponent Admits That Demaret Is 'A Dandy' ST. PAUL, Aug." 17-(AP)-It takes experience and coolness under pressure to win golf tournaments, the professionals will tell you. And Otto Greiner, the comparatively youthful Baltimore pro, is the first to concede that Jimmy Demaret has what it takes. Greiner, who lost' by two strokes yesterday -to Demaret in the playoff for first prize money of $2,450 in the St. Paul open, put it this mm Big George on Baltimore Streets; As a Left Handed Catcher An International League Rookie Off to the Bi'g Leagues way: "That Demaret he's a dandy.

He knew lust what was going to happen all the way." "THE story of Babe Ruth began in the Baltimore, streets. He hardly knew his panaris although his mother lived until he was 13 and his fa her, who owned a saloon, lived until Ruth was 24. Hep. ever, at the age of seven Ruth was placed in the St. jfflary's Industrial Home, a Catholic institution.

It was there that Brother MattMafe took personal charge of the youngster and was ftjhelp him often during. the rest of his baseball life. "Brother Matthias was the greatest man I've ever known Ruth often said. Ruth was born February 6, 1895, li ii he never knew it until 1934 when he went on a bafrif storming trip to Japan. His birth certificate, necessari eto obtain a' pass-' Sort, showed that Ruth was actual! 4 a younger lan he believed himself to be.

Many brothers took a liking to George, as the kids failed him. They taught him a jiuade as a child and he became fairly proficient as a shirt But base ball was his first and only love. St. Mary's had a number of baseball teams but Ruth caught for the No. 1 team and he was an unorthodox southpaw catcher.

He caught with the mitt on bis left hand, dropping the glove each time he made a throw, to the pitcher or to one of the bases. When Ruth was 17, he laughed one day when a St. Mary's pitcher was being pounded. Brother Matthias didn't think it funny. So he forced Ruth to try to do better.

From that time Babe was a pitcher. A year later. Brother Gilbert, a teacher from Mt St Joseph's, another Catholic school, interested Jack Dunn, Baltimore Oriole manager, in the raw 160-pound six-foot-two recruit with the flat nose spindly legs. In the spring of 1914 Ruthf was on' his way. He had signed his first contract $600 a year.

After one month Play Continues In -Newport Net Tourney NEWPORT, R. Aug. 17-CAP)- his. salary was doubled to $1,200 and after the second month it went up to $1,800. One of the Baltimore coaches, seeing Ruth following Dunn, said in jest: "Here comes Dunn with his newest Babe." The nick name stuck and it became the most famous baseball has ever known.

Before the season was over Dunn had sold Ruth to the Boston Red Sox for a sum variously reported between $2,900 and $10,000. But the left handed pitcher wasn't ready for the majors. After a month during which he won two games and lost one the Red Sox sent him to Providence, R. and he helped the team win the Inter national League pennant. The seasoning: Ruth obtained in Fxovidence was Just what he needed.
