'Stnkea and Kparaa," met By STUART CAMERON The saga of Ruth and the Yankees waa at an end to-day and the mighty Babe turned toward Boston to fill three jobs. Baseball's greatest star is now vice-president, assistant manager and player of the Braves, Boston's National League team. Thus he returns to the city which first knew him as a major league star.

He goes principally to fill one job, that of an ace player who may bring new life blood (money at the turnstiles) to the Braves. Secondly, he hopes to groom himself and to be groomed for a post as full-fledged manager. Finally, when playing days and active managerial days are done, he is in line to become one of America's most contradictory sports figures, a baseball magnate, Fortunate always the llabe. fortun-t i- turn nf Vnl.l a ten gam nuteh, total piu to count, another celebratetl artist of the piu eame.

Connie Mack's fear that he would incur the displeasure of the nation's fandom caused him to postpone until this year the conversion of Jimmy Foxx into a major league catcher, the 72-y ear-old-manager I of the Philadelphia Athletics said to-day.

So did Barrow, a smart judge of baseball men. Ruth and McCarthy might have gone along okeh for a while. But there would be internal dissension. Cliques would have formed.
