"The legs won't stand It," Rulh txplained to-day. "I might as well hang up the spikes.

I'm through." Of course, the a his ilghty bat will be entirely i need. will return it interval? to out long one for the I a ers to roar over. He may be in the role of a manager of some a league club, or perhaps just In an exhibition game (o Until tin ill countless thousands In towns where he never heard the roar of the crowds as he stepped to the plate. The possibilities Ruth faces are renewal of his contract with the Yankees, unconditional release or being traded to some other club. It is admitted that wiih Ruth unable to stand the pace as a regular Colonel Jacob Ruppert could not afford to re-sign Ruth at his present salary.

$52.000. Whether Babe would accept less is debatable, as he is financially independent, largely through prudent Investmenis and savings in the last few years. An unconditional release would permit Ruth Ip go bargaining among other major league clubs as a manager. He has been mentioned in that role with the Chicago White Sox and the Detroit Tigers. An alternative to a managerial job would be barnstorming trips, per- hans with semi-pro teams.

Should Ruppert decide to trade him he might find berth as A utility first baseman and pinch hitter, adding the strength of his club to that team's offense. The Bame, philosophical about the whole situation, admits with a hbyish grin no might take a vacation for a year, "and let things work themselves out." He has no Illusions about a regular berth with the Yankees next year. The Fresno Colored Athletic Club will play the Bakcrsfield Cubs in their annual club championship rime at the Japanese Baseball Park Monday afternoon. Each club has won a game so far. Last year the Fresno team defeated Bakersfield in two out of three contests.

Whatever confusion exists as to you should fire away a half hour before sunrise or at noon to-morrow at the opening of the dove season is cleared up by the stale fish and game commission. The commission definitely announces that the dove season opens one-half hour before sunrise in all districts.

Some, hunters and authorities, too, thought that the noon opening, inaugurated last year under federal regulations, had to be observed this year. But the state commission rules otherwise, so the slaughter will begin early in the morning. Another making good sports.
