Although Babe was playing in the outfield at the time he of ten pitched in practice games. '0 Earle Combs Sam Byrd ished, and he was grinning his way out. He could not pitch. Fat and forty his best ball was grooved straight to the cinder patch circling the field. The great Eabe the idol of a.11 childhood was checking out.

And we'll miss him. That's why we laughed hollowly at his antics that's why we cheered him to tha echo, madly, time and again, yesterday. We felt it was "farewell. Babe" and that is no story to kid. I'd much rather kid football coaches.

They are good kidding. through to a magnificent victory, but the score was not revealed by the management, though it was approximately 6 to 5. Some 20,000 fans appeared under the impression that it was the opening of the World Series. a. (By A.

T. GALLICO, Fashion Editor) The Babe wore a plain everyday white flannel Yankee uniform as he carted his huge bulk to the mound for his pitching ordeal. His slender calves were encased in blue wool stockings. A blue cap with a chic white "NY" embroidered above the peak, sat jauntily on his head. Babe completed his apparel with a pair of kangaroo hide shoes with imported spikes of Bethlehem Steel.

The sleeves of a white sweatshirt showed as he warmed up for the battle. When Babe knelt in the dirt while awaiting his batting turn, he had his precious left arm en- (Continued on page 39) By JIMMY TOWERS.

He gave only four hits in thtt first five innings and had nine last game could Irid themselves. I was one of that crowd.

They started out cheerfully enough, laughing as the Babe clowned his way through the pre-game festivities. But about the third inning we knew. The Babe was washed up fin- consecutive putouts. He daintily. NEWS FLASH Babe Ruth has completed two full innings.

A deputation of chirrugs osteopaths, chiropracters and medicine men have just examined Ruth's left arm and found it still attached to his shoulder. A photographer is taking a picture of itf or the medical journal. NEWS FLASH: at 3:30 the Harlem Hospital received a call for ambulances and pulmotors for the Yankee outfield. Three complete innings have just been played without an assist. The Yankee outfielders have made every put-out, but their tongues are hanging out.

The Babe's best pitch is his deep fly ball. EXCERPT FROM RADIO BROADCAST: Well, folks, Bab Ruth is winding up now, he is taking his wind-up. Yes sir, he is standing there on the mound winding up. From where I am sitting up here in a little booth just beside the press box I have a perfect view of Babe Ruth winding up. Gee, folks, I wish you could all be here with me, watching Babe Ruth wind up, but I guess since we can't' all be here, it is up to me to be your eyes for you, oh, oh, oh, a hot dog has just slipped down my back, oh boy, what a thrill.

Folks, you have no conception. Well, here we are with Babe Ruth winding up. He is standing there on the mound taking his wind-up, or at least that is what my good friend Joe Blotz tells me. Joe is a baseball expert and sits by my side to tell me what the players, are doing. Yes sir, Joe Blotz says that Babe Ruth is winding up.

Well, folks NEWS Eleven consecutive putouts were made by the Yankee outfielders before the first ground ball was hit.

It was said to be the man's thirty-fourth home run. FEATURE DEPARTMENT. By GEORGE HERMAN (BABE) RUTH Courtesy the Christy Walsh Syndicate.) "Well, friends, I wish to say by courtesy of the Christy Walsh Syndicate, without whose courtesy I do not say anything, that I pitched a great game in there for the Yankees yesterday afternoon and but for poor support in the outfield I would have beaten Pittsburgh much worse than I did.

I felt fine, and my pitching arm is great. I never felt younger in my life. I expect to take the entrance examination at Yale next Spring and try out for the baseball team. I wish to say at this point that whatever I did yesterday I owe to Christy Walsh, who is in there in my corner all the time, and if I ever am a success as a pitcher it will be all because of Christy Walsh." By BILL TERRY. (Courtesy the Christy Walsh Synidicatr) "Well, friends, I wish to say by courtesy of the Christy Walsh Syndicate, that Babe Ruth will be my starting pitcher against Washington next Tuesday, also through the kindness of Christy Walsh Syndicate: I expect to win with Ruth Tuesday, and then use him against the Giants in Washington, Thursday and Friday.

All my men are in great shape and will have no alibis to offer. I am happy to be able to announce at this time that Christy Walsh will play third base for me if Jackson's knee doesn't stand up. Otherwise I will use him in the outfield or the press box, or wherever the going-gets roughest. If we lose this series, I will have no excuse Christy Walsh will play that position, too."

In the sixth inning the Babe temporarily haywire and fearned runs started pouring over that platter. There were four of them, which were almost enough to override a gubernatorial veto in the Nebraska State Legislature, that is, if you like your statistics with Hollandaise sauce. Babe, upholstered along the general lines the barrel, planted at second base during the throwing contest, lost 4 pounds 2 ounces, practically a busher in the blood sweating behemoth business.
